  • Eternal Judgement, Resurrection and the 1,000 Year Rule and Reign of Christ (Ep 59)

    After the Lord returns there will be a period of time when the devil is locked up for one thousand years. Christ will rule and reign upon the earth and the first group of people will be resurrected to reign with Him. This period will end with the devil being loosed and he will gather…

  • Episode 21 – Understanding the Resurrection of the Dead

    This episode looks at the fifth of the foundational teachings of Christianity, the resurrection of the dead. Resurrection is possibly the most critical teaching in Christianity because without it, there is no Christianity. We believe God raised Jesus from the dead and that He will raise all people at the last trumpet, some to eternal…

  • Alive in Jesus Christ

    (Ephesians 2:4-7) When you read these few verses you get a sense of the joy that awaits all who call upon the name of Jesus Christ. You begin to see the power of God’s grace because through His never ending grace we are made alive in Jesus Christ. God does not see us as we…

  • The Power of Jesus Christ

    (Ephesians 1:20-23) In my last post I wrote about the power of God in us. In this post we look at the source of that power: the power of Jesus Christ. The power of Jesus Christ is what is working in us to do the work of transformation. Here Paul briefly shows us who and…

  • Resurrection

    (1 Corinthians 15:35-49) It appears to me that there is a great amount of interest, but not a lot of understanding about the resurrection of the dead. The resurrection is THE most important and fundamental teaching in Christianity. It is because of the resurrection that Christianity even exists, as I have pointed out in other…

  • Bad Company Ruins Good Morals

    (1 Corinthians 15:29-34) This section of scripture has three distinct but complimentary teachings. All of them are to do with baptism of the dead, and they each talk of the attitude we must hold as we hold the faith in Jesus Christ. The three specific aspects that we look at in this verse today are:…

  • Resurrected To Life

    (1 Corinthians 15:20-23) Resurrection, as I have been making the case in my last few posts, is the core, critical teaching of Christianity for without it, there is no Christianity. The hope of salvation that we teach and believe in is that we will be resurrected to life in Christ Jesus through the grace of…

  • Resurrection of First Importance

    (1 Corinthians 15:1-11) There are many, many things we have to learn in relation to walking in Christ, and there are often many different opinions about what we believe. But Christianity, when it is all boiled down, has only a very few critical teachings by which we receive the gift of God’s salvation. The few…

  • Essence of the New Covenant

    (Romans 4:22-25) If ever there were just a few verses that summed up the essence of the new covenant and how both it works and what we are to believe and accept in Jesus Christ, these are those few verses. The new covenant is deliberately simple to grasp and take hold of. It had to…

  • Resurrection

    (Acts 26:1-8) Paul makes a fascinating exclamation at the end of this section of scripture as he addresses Agrippa the king. He says,   Why is it thought incredible by any of you that God raises the dead? Of all the many doctrines and teachings of Christianity, resurrection is the single most important and the…

  • Jesus Could Not Be Held By Death

    (Acts 2:22-24) Jesus died at Calvary. We all know that. We also know that He was resurrected from the dead three days after He had been put to death because Jesus could not be held by death. But why? What was the reason why He could not be held by death? And also is there…

  • Jesus Appears to the Disciples

    (John 20:19-23) After Jesus had risen from the dead He appeared to the disciples many times. In these scriptures we see Him appear to His closest disciples, the eleven (bearing in mind that Judas had gone). This particular appearance is interesting for several reasons. Firstly, it was where He proved to the disciples that it…
