Introduction Re I hope you are ready to eat this morning. This story of the two spies and Rahab the Harlot is so full of biblical imagery and we will see the gospel every where we look.

Introduction: Exodus 12 is one of those incredible passages that the Bible contains. I personally believe that this chapter is one of those passages that every believer should be acquainted with.

This morning, I want to talk about something that sounds boring, but will seriously inform the way we will interpret the book of Revelation: context. There used to be a phrase "context is king". Christ is king, but context is really important. And so much of our time in Revelation will be focused on…

He aquí yo vengo pronto, y mi galardón conmigo, para recompensar a cada uno según sea su obra. Pero sin fe es imposible agradar a Dios; porque es necesario que el que se acerca a Dios crea que le hay, y que es galardonador de los que le buscan. Apocalipsis Creo que este versículo es clave para el tema…

The Revelation of John is a fascinating book. There are a few different responses to this book. Some say, I can’t understand all the images and it is a little frightening, so I don’t read it. Others will read it and try to pick it apart, analyzing every detail and trying to decipher it in a way that…

Often when God's call on our lives is discussed, the focus is on what we should do. Sometimes there is also a focus on who we are in Christ. But I want to look behind even that to start with, to the question of who God is, or what God is like. Because it makes a huge difference to how we respond to God's…

We also remember that John tells us that what He is giving here is a full…
