1 John 1:5-7 This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.  If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth;  but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses…

God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, In these last days has spoken to us in His Son, Whom He appointed heir of all things, Through whom also He made the world. And He is the radiance of His glory The exact representation of His nature, And upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the…

John 4:1-42 Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”  She said to Him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)  Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”  The woman said to Him, “Sir,…

When people talk about Jesus, whether they are non-Christians or professing believers, they rarely if ever describe His coming to earth in the way John spoke of it in 1 John 3:8. You hear them say things like: “The reason Jesus appeared was to bring justice to the world,” or “The reason that Jesus appeared was to model for us love and kindness,” or “The reason that Jesus appeared was to reconcile us to God.” Of course, the latter statement…

There will come a day when all that God intended at creation will come to pass, all that was lost in the garden will be restored, and all that entered the world through sin will be undone, for Christ has died and risen from the grave. So the LORD God drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to…

Cornelius’ Prayers Answered Acts 10:1-5 God Gets Peter’s Attention! Acts 10:9-16 And a voice came to him, “Arise, Peter, kill and eat!” But Peter said, “By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything unholy and unclean.” And again a voice came to him a second time, “What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy.” And this happened three times; and immediately the object was taken up into the sky (Acts 10:13-16). Peter Sent to Caesarea Acts 10:19-20 Peter…

Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you. Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision; for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh (Philippians 3:1-3, NASB).

As He reclined at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and His disciples, for there were many who followed Him. And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that He was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to His disciples, “Why does He eat with tax collectors and sinners?” And when Jesus heard it, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to…

So then, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; what is old has passed away—look, what is new has come! (2 Corinthians 5:17) But, according to His promise, we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness truly resides (2 Peter 3:13, NET Bible). Today in worship, we look to the New. Not the illusion of new things, which the world provides, but the Newness of which only God can create.  New Life!  New…

And Jesus went on with His disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” And they told him, “John the Baptist; and others say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.” And He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered Him, “You are the Christ” (Mark 8:27-29 ESV).
