The Love of Christ will never fail us it remains the same forever. In the following address, you will hear what the scriptures say about Walking in the Love of Christ.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Luke 7:36-50 “But one of the Pharisees begged him that he would eat with him. And entering into the house of the Pharisee he took his place at table; and behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, and knew that he was sitting at meat in the house of the Pharisee, having taken an alabaster box of myrrh, and standing at his feet behind [him] weeping, began to wash his feet with tears; and she wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed [them] with the myrrh. And the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spoke with himself saying, This [person] if he were a prophet would have known who and what the woman is who touches him, for she is a sinner. And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he says, Teacher, say [it]. There were two debtors of a certain creditor: one owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty;  but as they had nothing to pay, he forgave both of them [their debt]: [say,] which of them therefore will love him most? And Simon answering said, I suppose he to whom he forgave the most. And he said to him, Thou hast rightly judged. And turning to the woman he said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; thou gavest me not water on my feet, but *she* has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.  Thou gavest me not a kiss, but *she* from the time I came in has not ceased kissing my feet. My head with oil thou didst not anoint, but *she* has anointed my feet with myrrh. For which cause I say to thee, Her many sins are forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loves little. And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven. And they that were with [them] at table began to say within themselves, Who is this who forgives also sins? And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.” 

John 14:15-24 “If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will beg the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever, the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see him nor know him; but ye know him, for he abides with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you orphans, I am coming to you. Yet a little and the world sees me no longer; but ye see me; because I live ye also shall live. In that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.He that has my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me; but he that loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him.  Judas, not the Iscariote, says to him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us and not to the world? Jesus answered and said to him, If any one love me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our abode with him. He that loves me not does not keep my words; and the word which ye hear is not mine, but [that] of the Father who has sent me.”

John 21:15-17 “When therefore they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He says to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. He says to him, Feed my lambs.  He says to him again a second time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me? He says to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. He says to him, Shepherd my sheep. He says to him the third time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, art thou attached to me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Art thou attached to me? and said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. Jesus says to him, Feed my sheep.”

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation

Numbers 2:3 “And [for] those encamping eastward toward the sun-rising [there shall be] the standard of the camp of Judah according to their hosts”

Numbers 2:9 “They shall set forth first”

Luke 2:25-32 ” And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was just and pious, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and [the] Holy Spirit was upon him. And it was divinely communicated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he should see [the] Lord’s Christ. And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and as the parents brought in the child Jesus that they might do for him according to the custom of the law, he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now thou lettest thy bondman go, according to thy word, in peace; for mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples; a light for revelation of [the] Gentiles and [the] glory of thy people Israel.

Luke 19:11-13 “But as they were listening to these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was about to be immediately manifested. He said therefore, A certain high-born man went to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and return. And having called his own ten bondmen, he gave to them ten minas, and said to them, Trade while I am coming.”

1 Thessalonians 4:15 “For this we say to you in [the] word of [the] Lord, that *we*, the living, who remain to the coming of the Lord, are in no way to anticipate those who have fallen asleep;  for the Lord himself, with an assembling shout, with archangel’s voice and with trump of God, shall descend from heaven; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then *we*, the living who remain, shall be caught up together with them in [the] clouds, to meet the Lord in [the] air; and thus we shall be always with [the] Lord.  So encourage one another with these words.”

Have you got your eye on the Cornerstone? In this address, you will hear of the importance of giving the Lord Jesus Christ the first place in your life. Whether it be at school, college or work we should always give Him the first place.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation

Ephesians 2:19-25 “So then ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but ye are fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household of God, being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner-stone, in whom all [the] building fitted together increases to a holy temple in the Lord;  in whom *ye* also are built together for a habitation of God in [the] Spirit.”

Zechariah 4:6-10 “And he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith Jehovah of hosts. Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou dost become] a plain; and he shall bring forth the head-stone with shoutings: Grace, grace unto it! And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; and his hands shall finish it: and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto you. For who hath despised the day of small things? Yea, they shall rejoice [even] those seven—and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel: these are the eyes of Jehovah, which run to and fro in the whole earth.”

Sonship is a theme that runs throughout the scriptures but is often overlooked. What is sonship? Tune into this address to understand more about the teaching of sonship and how it can lead to enjoying every spiritual blessing in Christ.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Ephesians 1:3-6 “3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ;4 according as he has chosen us in him before [the] world’s foundation, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love;5 having marked us out beforehand for adoption through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,6 to [the] praise of [the] glory of his grace, wherein he has taken us into favour in the Beloved:”

Galatians 4:4-7 “4 but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, come of woman, come under law,5 that he might redeem those under law, that we might receive sonship.6 But because ye are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father.7 So thou art no longer bondman, but son; but if son, heir also through God.”

Romans 8:28-30 “But we *do* know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to purpose.29 Because whom he has foreknown, he has also predestinated [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, so that he should be [the] firstborn among many brethren.30 But whom he has predestinated, these also he has called; and whom he has called, these also he has justified; but whom he has justified, these also he has glorified.

Hebrews 2:8-9 But now we see not yet all things subjected to *him*,9 but we see Jesus, who [was] made some little inferior to angels on account of the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; so that by the grace of God he should taste death for every thing.10 For it became him, for whom [are] all things, and by whom [are] all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make perfect the leader of their salvation through sufferings.”

In this address, you will hear of the importance of prayer to the believer’s life.  As we read of Lord Jesus we see a great man of prayer. We as his followers should model our lives to be more like Him. Listen to this address to discover how to achieve this by learning from God’s holy word.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Matthew 6:5-15 “And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets so that they should appear to men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.6 But *thou*, when thou prayest, enter into thy chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who sees in secret will render [it] to thee.

7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as those who are of the nations: for they think they shall be heard through their much speaking.8 Be not ye therefore like them, for your Father knows of what things ye have need before ye beg [anything] of him.9 Thus therefore pray *ye*: Our Father who art in the heavens, let thy name be sanctified,10 let thy kingdom come, let thy will be done as in heaven so upon the earth;11 give us to-day our needed bread,12 and forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors,13 and lead us not into temptation, but save us from evil.14 For if ye forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father also will forgive you [yours],15 but if ye do not forgive men their offences, neither will your Father forgive your offences.”

Daniel 6:10-11 “And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and, his windows being open in his upper chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled on his knees three times a day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.

11 But those men came in a body, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.”

Colossians 4:2-4 “Persevere in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving;3 praying at the same time for us also, that God may open to us a door of the word to speak the mystery of Christ, on account of which also I am bound,4 to the end that I may make it manifest as I ought to speak.”

Colossians 4:12 “Epaphras, who is [one] of you, [the] bondman of Christ Jesus, salutes you, always combating earnestly for you in prayers, to the end that ye may stand perfect and complete in all [the] will of God.”

James 5:17-20 “Elias was a man of like passions to us, and he prayed with prayer that it should not rain; and it did not rain upon the earth three years and six months;18 and again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth caused its fruit to spring forth.19 My brethren, if any one among you err from the truth, and one bring him back,20 let him know that he that brings back a sinner from [the] error of his way shall save a soul from death and shall cover a multitude of sins.”

Jesus said, “Blessed are the Peacemakers”. What does it mean to be a Peacemaker?  As you listen to this address you will be helped from God’s word to understand how and what a peacemaker really is in the sight of God.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation

Luke 10:2-7 “2 And he said to them, The harvest indeed [is] great, but the workmen few; supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest that he may send out workmen into his harvest.3 Go: behold *I* send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves.

4 Carry neither purse nor scrip nor sandals, and salute no one on the way.5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace to this house.6 And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it; but if not it shall turn to you again.7 And in the same house abide, eating and drinking such things as they have; for the workman is worthy of his hire. “

Judges 8:1-3 “8 And the men of Ephraim said to him, What is this thing thou hast done to us, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with Midian? And they disputed with him sharply.2 And he said to them, What have I done now in comparison with you? Are not the gleanings of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abi-ezer?3 Into your hands hath God delivered the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and what was I able to do in comparison with you? Then their spirit was appeased toward him, when he said that word.”

Genesis  21:25-32 “27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.28 And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.29 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What [mean] these seven ewe-lambs, these which thou hast set by themselves?30 And he said, That thou take the seven ewe-lambs of my hand, that they may be a witness to me that I have dug this well.31 Therefore he called that place Beer-sheba, because there they had sworn, both of them.32 And they made a covenant at Beer-sheba.”

Acts 16:14-15 “14 And a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, heard; whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things spoken by Paul.15 And when she had been baptised and her house, she besought [us], saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and abide [there]. And she constrained us.”

Mark 9:50 “50 Salt [is] good, but if the salt is become saltless, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”

In the following address, you will hear what the scripture says about the appearing of the Lord, the world to come and the day of God.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

2 Timothy 4:6-13 For I am already being poured out, and the time of my release is come. I have combated the good combat, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth the crown of righteousness is laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will render to me in that day; but not only to me, but also to all who love his appearing. Use diligence to come to me quickly; for Demas has forsaken me, having loved the present age, and is gone to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. Luke alone is with me. Take Mark, and bring [him] with thyself, for he is serviceable to me for ministry. But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.The cloak which I left behind [me] in Troas at Carpus’s, bring when thou comest, and the books, especially the parchments.” 

Hebrews 2:5-13 “For he has not subjected to angels the habitable world which is to come, of which we speak; but one has testified somewhere, saying, What is man, that thou rememberest him, or son of man that thou visitest him? Thou hast made him some little inferior to the angels; thou hast crowned him with glory and honour, [and hast set him over the works of thy hands;] thou hast subjected all things under his feet. For in subjecting all things to him, he has left nothing unsubject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to him, but we see Jesus, who [was] made some little inferior to angels on account of the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; so that by the grace of God he should taste death for every thing. For it became him, for whom [are] all things, and by whom [are] all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make perfect the leader of their salvation through sufferings. For both he that sanctifies and those sanctified [are] all of one; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,  saying, I will declare thy name to my brethren; in [the] midst of [the] assembly will I sing thy praises. And again, I will trust in him. And again, Behold, I and the children which God has given me.”

2 Peter 3:7-14 “But the present heavens and the earth by his word are laid up in store, kept for fire unto a day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. But let not this one thing be hidden from you, beloved, that one day with [the] Lord [is] as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. [The] Lord does not delay his promise, as some account of delay, but is longsuffering towards you, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of [the] Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and [the] elements, burning with heat, shall be dissolved, and [the] earth and the works in it shall be burnt up. All these things then being to be dissolved, what ought ye to be in holy conversation and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, by reason of which [the] heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and [the] elements, burning with heat, shall melt?  But, according to his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, as ye wait for these things, be diligent to be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless;”
