The Lord committed to Peter, the gospel for the circumcised, and He committed to Paul, the gospel for the uncircumcised. Confusion arises when the two gospels get mixed up. Most of the confusion arises among the gentile believers, which is why the Lord Jesus specifically anointed the apostle Paul to teach His gentile believers what in the law, was acceptable for them to observe and what was not. In this book, we look at what the bible teaches us regarding...

(31) It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth, (32) but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade. "Our Lord Jesus, when He was on the earth, stated that the kingdom of...

Psalms 45:9 "Kings' daughters are among Your honorable women; At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir."Once the marriage of the Lamb has taken place, the church will no longer be one who is betrothed to the Lord, for she will then become the queen of heaven. The above passage of scripture describes the bride of Christ, after she has been joined to the Lord in eternal marriage. And so, we see that when our Lord Jesus finally returns...

There is a degree of controversy in the church today, about suffering. There are those, who teach that the church is not meant to suffer at all, but rather, that we are meant to live victoriously in this life. Some even teach, that the church is meant to take dominion in the earth and deliver the kingdoms of the world to the Lord, when He returns. And then there are those, who teach that we are to accept all forms of adversity in this life, as part...

It is precisely because we have received complete forgiveness for our sins, that we can in turn extend forgiveness to those who sin against us. In other words, God gave us the example which we are to follow. Believers who struggle to forgive others, have forgotten just how much the Lord Jesus has forgiven them. This book teaches how to forgive.

The scripture plainly calls this doctrine the doctrine of "baptisms" – plural. There are three distinct baptisms taught in the New Testament. Just as each baptism is a separate event, so each baptism also fulfils a different role in our walk as believers. This book looks at each baptism in detail, explaining not only what each baptism is about, but also the benefits of each one. Which is why our Lord Jesus put them in place in His church.

Acts 2:17 "And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh." There can be no doubt that as we draw closer to the end of the age, that there has been a dramatic increase in the outpouring of God's Spirit in the earth. The evidence is clear, for whereas Spirit filled believers throughout the earth at the start of the twentieth century, could be numbered in their thousands, Spirit filled believers...

There is a category of gifts, called ministry gifts.

There are five main gifts, which are the apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor...

And they will not be deceived by any false teachings, that they may come across in their Christian walk. Of the six foundational doctrines, the two...

Jesus was referring to the physical temple in Jerusalem, when He quoted the prophet Isaiah, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations'. As our Lord predicted, that physical temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in the year seventy AD. When Jesus was crucified on the cross, the veil in that temple was torn in two, and God no longer dwells in a temple made with human hands. Under the new covenant, all believers in Christ have now become...

One of the fundamental differences between the saints of the old covenant and the saints of the new covenant, is that we have the Holy Spirit residing on the inside of us, whereas the saints under the old covenant did not. Because of this fact, God leads His children under the new covenant, completely differently to the way that He led His servants under the old. The primary way that the Lord led the saints under the old covenant was through the office...
