Restoring the Tabernacle of David
Saturday, March 1st, 2008A devastating challenge to the unquestioned suppositions of the “Restoration” movements that usurp Israel’s theocratic calling and glory.
True Fellowship
Saturday, March 1st, 2008A foundational message on the genius of the Church as Church.
To God be Glory in the Church
Saturday, March 1st, 2008If God’s people will not be radically sacred, the world will be radically profane.
The Holocaust and Christian Conscience
Saturday, March 1st, 2008This message relates the Holocaust to the historical rejection of God. A vital and challenging message for the Jewish people as well as the Church.
The Chosen People: Chosen for What?
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008As Jews, one thing that makes us recoil is being called “chosen.” It is something like the involuntary shudder that comes with the screech of chalk on a blackboard. After all, what has being chosen ever meant to us but trouble?
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit in a Last Days’ Context
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008Our prayer is a little better than polite, but still not the gushing or ‘groaning that cannot be uttered’ that accompanied the intercessions of earlier Pentecostal generations whose crisis of need was evidently greater.
The Heart of David
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008How significant can be a single episode in the life of a man. It was so for David at the height of Saul’s’ relentless pursuit of his life as recorded in I Samuel 24. It is not only historical, but typical as it represents two antibodies symbolized and summed up in both David and Saul.
Moses at the Burning Bush
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008This is more than just an episode out of the life of Moses. There is something here for our deepest consideration, and I hope it will be for some as much a confrontation as it was for Moses. We have as much a requirement to be met by the God of the burning bush and be sent by Him to deliver a people out of bondage.
A Message on Restoration and Return
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008(With quotations from Thomas M. Raitt’s A Theology of Exile, Fortress Press, 1977) The prophecies of Zephaniah, as is true with all the prophets of Israel, speak not only to the present condition and immediate future of the nation, but also its eschatological future and end. So one is warned of the Babylonian judgment then […]
Prophetic Reflections for the Last Days
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008Concern about decaying environmental, economic and political conditions is moving the world toward global unification. Safety and self-interest will likely take precedence over ideological distinctions between nations, just as doctrinal differences between major church bodies will be eclipsed by the overriding interests of peace and unity.
The Mystery of the Wisdom of God
Thursday, February 7th, 2008Paul is now going to reveal the mystery for which reason all things were created. This mystery has nothing to do with anything that we can recognize as being valid or relevant for the church. It has not even to do with the world or the benefits that men in the world will receive.
Israel’s Restoration:
Thursday, February 7th, 2008The eternal wisdom of God, demonstrated through the Church, as the necessary prelude to the Messiah’s coming
David’s Cry for Mercy
Thursday, February 7th, 2008The Lord wants to pull out all the stops and touch a subject that has suffered chronic and historic neglect: the Cross, which is central to all that I will be sharing about the crucifixion of Jesus, His death and atonement, and sin and righteousness.
Contemporary Worship: The Malady of the Church
Thursday, February 7th, 2008Whatever is self-initiated, however well-meaning the motive, is not of God. He alone is the Creator-King who disposes from the Throne what He wills when He wills.
An Apostolic Manifesto
Thursday, February 7th, 2008In this late hour, the church needs to consider something that would constitute a plumb line from heaven, something to which we should align ourselves. I believe there is an apostolic distinctive that identifies the true church, and makes of it what has always been its characteristic from the beginning.
