The Beginning In the beginning God created, beginning with the heavens and the Earth. Before he created things were void and empty. Darkness was everywhere and the spirit hovered across the expanse of the Earth. What does this mean to us? If you look closely and meditate on this passage I believe you…

Moving into a New Year - new beginnings moving away from the past

No blessing is enjoyed till exercised in the teeth of temptation to abuse it. Solomon received the gift but failed the test. Wisdom is keeping God's truth in your head…

This morning its good to be back and be able to start a new year with a new series. For the next several weeks we’re going to be moving through the beginning of our Bibles.

I NEED HELP SCRIPTURE READING Please open your Bibles with me to the book of 2 Chronicles 26:1-5 And all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah. He built Eloth and restored it to Judah after the king slept with his fathers. Uzziah…

Jesus is the Creator, but is He a created being? How is Jesus the Light to mankind? Who was the witness to the Light?

Begin with us in God’s book of beginnings!

The heavens and the earth were created by God and ordered by him and for him.

Our current reality might look all that great on paper. The church is under pressure like it hasn't been in a long time. We can be quite discouraged at the number of losses over the recent years. However, the message of the cross is a foolish one. If we think the church is perishing, then we need to rely on the message of the cross -- be foolish and believe that we do have a future.

Crying out is a good start I love the story of John the Baptizer. Well, at least this beginning of his story I love. He’s a “larger than life” figure, who fully embraces who he is — eating locusts and wild honey, wearing camel hair and a leather belt — he couldn’t be more unique and unmistakable. And…

Today's podcast is about the truth of God, sin, salvation, and the simple truth behind how it all came about. This is the inaugural podcast release by Armor Of God Baptist Ministries with Bro D Deryl Downey (Bro Deryl).

Hindsight is 2020 This is usually the time of year when news stations, media outlets and such put out the top stories of the year and reminisce about all that happened.

FORWARD MOTION IN CHRIST COLOSSIANS 2:6, 7 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Genesis not only speaks of the beginning, it is the beginning, origin, or source of every major doctrine in Scripture. Every teaching can be foundationally understood through what is known as the "Law of First Mention". Due to this fascinating discovery, it is of absolute necessity that we establish a unique bond with the Genesis scroll. In case you weren't aware of it, there's even a greater mystery and blessing in the first verse and the first word of Genesis. Join me as we discover the rhema of the text.

Alastair introduces a new series on the Gospel of John and starts In the beginning, with the Word.
