Hi. We are both born-again believers for the last thirty years and we have always had the desire to share our faith with everyone, other believers to be encouraged because it is hard to follow God! To those seeking Him, that they will find that He is able to forgive us our pasts and that He loves us to bring us back into fellowship with Him. There are many who do not want to know or are blinded by legalism, believing this is enough? But the truth of the Bible is that there is only one way and this has to be made through God's One and only Son Isa,/Isus,/Jesus,/Yeshua! Jesus was the final sacrifice for our failures, he was the final atonement and our repentance and faith in Him, will bring us back into relationship with God, Elohim, Al-Liylah (Allah).

1 Timothy 3:16. Part-One.

Not in every Translation?

Some have suggested this is a later add on to the original letter, but we could all be accused of making a footnote to our own letters of encouragement to others!

It is a powerful verse in the New Testament about Jesus our Lord and Savior!

Christ/Messiah came as a human or in human flesh!

The Holy Spirit proved that He pleased God!

He was seen by Angels!

Christ/Messiah was preached to the Nations!

People put their faith in Him!

And He was taken up in Glory!

What is the problem, a miss translation, replacement theology, or down right anti-Semitism in the early Church to Armenian, Roman Catholic and others?

Deuteronomy 31:23, 1 Chronicles 22:13, Psalm 42:2, Jeremiah 10:10, Acts 1:2, Hebrews 3:2-6.

AUKUS!

A world Crises Situation based on Jealousy?

Red China is the enemy of the western world and so is Russia and Venezuela and Afghanistan and so on, but what they really are is they are better at doing the right things to help the peoples of their own nations and the world!

Where the United States is jealous of economic success and refuses to forgive as Joe Biden said, claiming to be a Christian, while the U.K. is being lead by a good talker and a little planner and Australia has a leader who is ignoring climate change for personal profit at the cost of millions?

What has to do with Ekklesia, it has much to do with us, since we have to live in the world daily and face the consequences of these unwise leaders, who are lining their pockets at our cost and proving they have no time for God, but their own aspirations based on lies and hypocrisy!

1 Samuel 16:7, Proverbs 14:16, 28:14, Jeremiah 17:10, Matthew 23:28, 1 Corinthians 10:12, Hebrews 4:12-13, James 3:17, 1 Peter 1:2.

Harvest Time!

From the window box to the plains?

When serving in the inner cities we tend not to see the point of having a harvest festival and yet many members have allotments, gardens, window boxes to sow a few fruit and vegetables so they can count the pennies?

On the other hand the countryside and the small ports have their respective catches of grains and fish and have something to give God the thanks for!

Not many today see a value of the harvest festival, since they associate it only with the material, but Jesus referred to the Spiritual side of all of our callings to witness our faith, share our testimony, speak and pray and then the Angels will reap fields that are white for souls for Eternity?

There are many ways to do these services, giving thanks, involving children, young people and older folks, talking about experience or just a plain service?

The use of the community is important in the role of the food bank and also in growing the wrong crops such as narcotics, showing people a right way and asking them to consider Jesus!

Genesis 8:22, Exodus 23:16, 2 Chronicles 32:28, Matthew 6:26, 13:30, Galatians 6:9, James 3:18.

Gifts of the Holy Spirit!

What are they for?

A great debate rages in the Ekklesia today in relation to the gifts of the Holy Spirit, with many claiming that that time in the book of acts is over?

But if we take time and end our doctrinal blind spots we will take note that in 1 Corinthians chapter 12 and verse 4 we are told the essential reason, before hitting the juicy bits!

Gifts, service and activity are the essentials of being touched at His will by the Holy Spirit, one who will remain active and effective in the lives of all believers who remain in fellowship with God.

We cannot preach, teach, witness, share, talk about God without the Holy Spirit, we have to be touched and given each individually our gifting, so that we may serve, so that we will remain active no matter what Satan tries to use to draw us down?

Romans 15:17, 2 Corinthians 9:12, Ephesians 4:12, 2 Timothy 4:5, Hebrews 12:28, James 2:22, Revelation 2:19.

The Prodigal Son! Three.

Jealousy?

Infuriation might be a better word for the son who worked away and did not flout his fathers inheritance!

But like many Christians today in Ekklesia they miss the point when a prostitute or a big time criminal gets saved, it makes the place, reputation of good living look dirty?

Because their hearts were blinded to God’s love and mercy on the lost, just as this father took back his son and so we have a powerful evangelism tool with Luke 15 that can be applied in the community and worldwide today?

As believers we are always now with our father who through the good works of Jesus has bought us with blood and when we see the uncomfortable coming in let us rejoice for God has brought another home!

Luke 15:11-32, Romans 15:9-13, Ephesians 2:1-10.

Angels Ministered!

Great Anguish.

Jesus was moments before His journey to the cross and our atonement, but in His human flesh he was in anguish and many believers may find themselves in these moments of great mental and physical pain from the evil people in this world!

Some modern translations do not have these verses in the text, how sad they have missed such an important point, that we too may go through periods of suffering and may even be attended to by Angels, as our Lord was?

We are warned to be careful about people who brag about the subject and dream also, but that must also be taken that Angels will help us, since Peter was released from Prison and the Apostle Paul saw Heaven!

Luke 22:43-45, Psalm 91:11-12.

The Prodigal Son! Two.

A picture of Youth?

Sins today consequences tomorrow, it may not be for all misspent youth but for some who inherit early it is a common factor to pain later on?

Here we are shown that young man who perhaps set off out into the world with good intentions, but the riotous living and the lights of the world caught up with him and he fell into those temptations we are told about and so he ends in a place of humiliation, with that final though of returning home!

Many people today have the opportunity to turn to God, they may even be considering Him and yet they refuse for a plethora of reasons not to come home to a loving Father and a heavenly home, but remain in the dross and muck of this world?

Luke 15:12-18, Job 21:13-15, Proverbs 6:26, Romans 13:13-14.

Christian despair & Depression!

‘Not a bed of Roses?

The statement, ‘It is hard to be a believer, should not be under estimated, since many of us who are now long in the faith now the pain and costs that are involved as we progress in that race that the Apostle Paul encourages us with!

Ekklesia has much to answer to when it comes to depression, mental-illness and despair amongst believers? What was at one time referred to for missionaries is now widespread in the body, since many of us live in pluralistic societies that are hostile to Christians?

Nothing much has changed from the times of the pagan world of the early followers of the way to modern times, the world has turned back to the worship of nature and abandoned the God of the Holy Bible and many believers are starting to fall away, as we are told is to happen!

But we have a God who loves us and His son Jesus who died for us, we must run to Him and trust to endure and to press on? It is indeed very hard, but the price for us is too great to know give up or let go? Let us encourage one and another and help, pray, financials and a roof?

2 Corinthians 4:8-11, Psalm 56:2-3, Proverbs 8:10, 1 Peter 1:7, 4:12-14.

The Prodigal Son! One.

The Fathers love for Us?

This story that Jesus told is about the young waster and his failure and his redemption being welcomed back into his family!

The illustration is a lovely one of Gods love for this lost world, the meaning of the story could be applied to each one of us, unless we came to know the Lord as a child?

In this series we will start with the last verse since it is the key of the message that we need to rejoice as we see New believers enter into the Ekklesia the family of God!

Luke 15:11-32, Isaiah 35:10, Hosea 14:9.

The Kingdom of Israel?

Anti-Semitism in the Ekklesia!

We here this time are dealing with some serious facts when it comes to the Christian attitude to Israel being restored as a nation and a Kingdom!

Now for over eighteen hundred years the Gentiles have enjoyed keeping Jewish believers in their Messiah down and part from that justifying slavery, and many other ideals that are to suit their own agenda of oppression?

These ideas have crossed over from the Catholic Churches to the Protestant Reformations and today to the many new Churches, from the Apostolic revival to ecumenical ideas, community types and other revivals that have been overrun by false leadership?

Jesus did not give a time for that question asked 2000 years ago, because He said, ‘He said only the Father knew! We may not accept now that the state of Israel is that restoration, but when Israel is to be restored it will have to be in the same place that it exists now?

Acts 1:6-8.
