Stonybank Community Church with Pastor James Carroll

A prophet has no honor in his own country. The crowd welcomed Him but for all the wrong reasons.  Jesus rebukes them saying, unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders, you will never believe.  

Jesus uses the serpent raised up on a pole by Moses in response to Nicodemus. John then gives us the most familiar verse in the Bible with an open invitation for all to look and live. 

God's full attention is focused on you through the birth of His Son, Jesus.

Jesus is a continuation of God intended all along

Beginning with chapter 7, we are transported to a spiritual kingdom over which our God reigns.

This begins the final and perhaps greatest vision of Daniel.  It draws back the curtain on the spiritual world that is led by Satan and very much in opposition to the child of God and in particular against the people of Daniel, the Jew.  It introduces us to a time of great persecution from which the church is removed.

One of the most important chapters in all the Bible that pinpoints the timing of Christ's coming.

Rev. Al Mcleod spoke on the occasion of our church 212th Anniversary

God gives the prophecy detail of the 2nd and 3rd world kingdom.  The antichrist is illustrated with Antiochus Epiphanies who is yet to arise out of a consortium of the 4th kingdom.  God is still in control and will soon pick up with Israel where He left off so long ago.

This vision is perhaps the single most important chapter in all the Bible on prophecy.  The kingdoms of the world are here described from God's perspective as beastly and evil.  Believers are introduced as saints of the Most High God, Who Himself is given the title of Ancient of Days.  When He comes to establish the eternal kingdom, He will bring all the Saints with Him and sit in final judgment.
