Through Jesus’ conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well, we will explore how ordinary conversations can become opportunities for God to work. Jesus crosses social barriers, begins with everyday life, listens patiently, speaks with grace and truth, and gently leads the conversation towards faith. We may not have every answer or see an immediate response, but we can sincerely share what Jesus has done, invite people to “come and see,” and leave the results with God.

As we read the entirety of God's Word we discover the origins of 'Babylon the Great' beginning in Genesis 11 with the famous Tower of Babel built in this great city.  It continues throughout history, significantly in the time of King Nebuchadnezzar, resurfacing recently in the contemporary rebuilding of this ancient city and in Revelation we hear of its corruption and final destruction.  It is defined as a person, a place and a world system.  It infiltrates every part of our lives and stands in defiance against God's heavenly kingdom.  While it may be impossible to be completely free from such a worldly influence, we are foreigners to this world, waiting in great expectation for God's coming kingdom where “There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” (Rev 21:4)

In this message we continue looking at the final Antichrist, moving from his rise to his nature, method, and end. From 2 Thessalonians 2 and the wider biblical picture, we see that the Antichrist is not merely a political ruler, but a satanically empowered counterfeit who seeks the worship and allegiance that belong to God alone. His method is deception before coercion: false signs, persuasive words, false peace, economic pressure, and persecution of the saints. Yet his end is certain. The Lord Jesus will destroy him by the splendour of his coming, reminding us to love the truth, hold fast to Christ, and rest in his final victory.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-12
