We explore the spiritual attack of the two beasts in Revelation who use the state as their weapon against Christ and His people.......Regardless we must continue to pray for those who God has placed over us in the same manner that Paul instructs Timothy.

We continue looking at the four pillars of the church. This week, the subject is fellowship. What is fellowship? What is fellowship for? And what does fellowship achieve? Why did the 3,000 continue steadfastly in it? Fellowship is not just something we do, but something that exists: - A necessity!

Whilst our salvation is in Christ alone, through faith alone, Faith without works is dead. We must be found doing the works which were given to us when Christ returns, what does that mean in relation to this, the parable of the talents?

We take a look at the first of the Four pillars of the Church as stated in Acts 2: 40-47, The Apostles doctrine. This is vitally important to the Church today. A doctrine that must be held dear, a doctrine that must not be altered, a doctrine that we must still continue steadfastly in.

Luther stated that "Justification was the doctrine on which the Church stands or falls." The work of salvation is completed, we can neither add nor take away from the finished work of Christ. Those who know this wonderful truth are "Free indeed."

On the day of pentecost, 3,000 souls were saved. The early church was birthed and a vital church started to grow. With a life changed, they continued steadfastly not only in the 4 Pillars of the Church but in the life God had called them into.

The parable of the ten virgins, this speaks of what will happen when the Kingdom physically comes at Christs return. Some enter, some find the door closed, forever. The Kingdom is coming, keep watch and ensure you have oil for your lamp.

A New Year always brings renewed focus on many things for many people, but what should we focus on as a church. God Tells Isaiah that He is going to do "a New thing". What exactly does that mean for us in the context of verses 1-21 ?

All God's people need comfort. We can feel isolated with our concerns and anxieties. Isaiah 40:1 assures people of the Lord's absolute desire for His people to be comforted. He Himself is their portion and inheritance. All that He is in respect of His power and mercy He is to each of His people. Above all, His comfort is to be found in the cross.

Everybody values something in life. Men and women are unique because they have an immortal soul. Above everything, people should value their soul's capacity to know God but sin has robbed us of realising what eternal peril we are in. Christ values our soul more than we do and died on the cross to recover and restore us.
