Living In The Until
The Blessed Hope, An Introduction. Not often considered by many today, but it is the strange hope of all Christians. The hope that Jesus will come, with the shout of the trumpet, and the dead in Christ shall rise, and we will meet them together in the clouds and forever be with the Lord. No doubt the world would laugh at such a thought, and so would we if the Bible did not teach it so plainly. This is one…
What Is The Gospel? Pt 1
When Jesus spoke to Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews in the most famous passage in the Bible, John 3:16, he said “Ye Must Be Born Again!”. What did he mean? What is the Gospel? Why did Christ come and die?
This sermon provides an answer, it is part one of three messages on the question.
In The Beginning
Eternity; what impact does the first four words of the Bible have in representing the entire concept of eternity?
How does this knowledge impact you personally?
Pr Edi provides a well expounded explanation of Eternity and The Gospel in this message.
That Which is Written.
This is the first sermon preached at Hope Baptist Church. Hope is founded upon the Word of God, Romans chapter 15 tells us of all that was written before had its benefit for our learning, and man must learn in order to live.

Science has scientists, Philosophy has philosophers, Physics has physicists just as any Theory has a theorist. What am I trying to say? All of these professions have people behind them; to think that people are not motivated by their predispositions, (especially personally held ‘beliefs’) and bring those views to their conclusions, particularly when there is SO much at stake, such as the…
3. The Numbers
Numbers, probably the most amazing lie detector accessible. Numbers can tell you many things, not only the outcome of a given equation, but can also advise on profitability or loss. Mastering numbers ensure that you get things right, mastering numbers also ensures that the potential outcome you have considered is realistic.
Without numbers we all would be playing a guessing game, whether in accounting or in science, whether in geography or geometry, whether in electricity or mechanics, whether shopping or even running a foot race, numbers will tell us if we have enough to finish what we start.
What are the chances God does not exist? What are the chances your eternity is not in imminent danger? Its the question this lecture asks and provides a hint of more to come.
