Luk 17:11-19 God's ways are not our ways. Galilee is to the North of Samaria and Jerusalem to the South of Samaria (see this map or this link to read more). So from our text it seems like the order is wrong, first Samaria then Galilee and then back through Samaria and to Jerusalem. Jesus did not use... Read More

Ez 3:16 - 18 Now it came to pass at the end of seven days that the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 17"Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me: 18When I say to the wicked, "You shall surely die,' and you g...

In Exodus 8 v 1-5,16-18, 20,21,24 we read of what God did and He did all these things through His finger. God is Spirit. He has no physical hand as we do and so He uses a language we can understand and that is the body that we have. There were three funerals yesterday. A person cannot be in three pl... Read More

Summary of sermon by Rev Erlo Stegen We cannot fathom the depths of God. The Triune nature of God is one of those mysteries. The Bible gives us partial revelation.

Gen 24:1-16 There is so much we can learn through Abraham who is the father of the believers. He knew God and God knew him. 1) Abraham spoke to his chief-servant in his household, the one in charge of all that he had.

Matt 16:22-25 Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!” 23 But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan!

Rom 11:33, “Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!

John 15:9 As the Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you; continue ye in my love. Here Christ's divinity is revealed to us. This love is inexpressible.

John 1:1 - 3; Hebr 1:1-14 Many religions deny the Divinity of Jesus Christ, like Islam, which states that Jesus was only a great prophet, but that He is not God neither the Father's son. However the Bible makes it clear in numerous ways that Jesus is God, One of the Trinity. 1) The reason the angeli... Read More
