The Bible is filled with parallels. These parallels teach us various lessons about the nature of God, humanity, and the overarching themes of the Scripture. Looking at the parallels, we realise that someone greater than “man” was involved in putting the Bible together. It shows us that His plans for us were made since the beginning of time and are exact down to the last detail. That is a great com...

What was Jesus doing in and through this miracle? This miracle has multiple layers and purposes. Jesus did not only perform this miracle mainly to give the blind man sight but also to reveal his true identity to the people.

In the Bible, we often read about stories of people trusting God even though it did not make sense at the time. The beauty of following God even when they didn’t understand what God was doing is that each time they obeyed and trusted, God gave them a tremendous victory.   There are also examples in the Bible where a principle or teaching goes against human nature. Jesus’ and Paul’s teachings are f...

In this sermon message Abri talks about the importance of running the race set before us. This year is going to be a very strategic and life altering year. As Christians, we need to be correctly positioned in the LORD for this year.

God desires our worship. But how should we praise and worship Him through music, song and dance? The Bible is filled with examples, and there are different ways of expressing our adoration, praise, and worship of God. The English and many other translated Bibles use the term “praise” or “worship”, without telling us what type of praise or worship the Bible is referring to. We should remember that...

The Hebrew Exodus from Egypt was a deliverance accomplished by God, not man. God is the central figure in Exodus, so it shall be in the second Exodus. The first Exodus lead the Hebrews to a lasting relationship between God and Israel. God was Israel’s God in a special sense, and they were God’s people. With the return of Christ, a greater Exodus will establish us in a special relationship with God...

The Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:27-28), also known as Yom Kippur, was the most solemn holy day of all the Israelite feasts and festivals, occurring once a year on the tenth day of Tishri, the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar. On that day, the high priest was to perform elaborate rituals to atone for the sins of the people. Described in Leviticus 16:1-34, the atonement ritual began with Aaro...

The Feast of Trumpets marked the beginning of ten days of consecration and repentance before God. It is one of seven Jewish feasts or festivals appointed by the LORD and one of three feasts that occur in the autumn. The Feast of Trumpets began on the first day (at the new moon) of the seventh month. Its name comes from the command to blow trumpets (Leviticus 23:24; Numbers 29:1-6). The Feast of Tr...

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. — 2 Timothy 4:3,4 The apostle Paul describes the unique challenge that believers would face as a last-days deception occurs not only outside, but inside the Church...

It is becoming more accessible to alter (change) digital Bibles. It is also becoming more challenging to know whether you are reading the "original" Bible version you have always read or if it has been altered.

It is vitally important to properly discern what is happening in the world. In this session, Abri shares a short message about this topic. It was part of a prophetic update that he gave during a service.

The book of Habakkuk is one of the 12 minor prophets in the Bible. The situation which Habakkuk faces is the imminent invasion of the southern kingdom of Judah by the Chaldeans. Habakkuk is unusual as a prophetic book. Habakkuk never addresses the people of Judah directly. He does not speak to them on God’s behalf. Rather, it is a dialogue between the prophet and God. Habakkuk lived during a time...
