Pastor Derek answers the Questions: "What do you do when you feel hopeless? What is the first thing we should do when we face mental health issues? Where should we turn?

Derek answers the Questions: "Can people be saved after the Rapture?" and "How will the Rapture be explained to those who will be left behind on earth; will they will know where we have gone?"

Derek answers the Question: "Can Christians have idols in their lives without knowing it, and what in form do these idols take?"

Pastor Derek answers the Question: "Am I doing enough to be within the Body of Christ? Is Church important? Do I need to be part of a Church?"

Derek answers the question: "Can people be saved if they have not forgiven everyone in their life?"

Derek answers 2 questions: (1) Why was the prophet in 1 Kings 13 killed by a lion? (2) Will our resurrection body be like Adam's body before the Fall?

Derek reveals the order of events at a Passover Meal, and shows how all the Gospel accounts of the Last Supper harmonise, once it is understood that it was a Passover Meal. In particular, he shares the 2 stages of the Afikomen ritual (before and after the meal), and shows how Christ fulfilled both stages: (1) in His Incarnation, Death and Burial, and (2) in His Resurrection and Distribution. He sh...

End-Time Prophecy (Part 1) - The Prophetic Framework Do you understand the times you are living in? The Bible’s prophecies have so far proved themselves to be stunningly accurate. See what they have to say about the future. What does the Bible say about the future? Are we living in the last generation before Christ’s Return? This book, the first in a series of 3, systematically reveals the foundat...

Howard Condor and Derek Walker discuss the significance of Israel and its historical God-given right to be in their Land, and why there is such hatred and antisemitism towards the Jewish People.

In our final study in Philippians, the apostle Paul commends the Philippians for consistently partnering with him in the Gospel, through their prayers and giving. They are held forth for us as a classic example for how we should support those who are devoting their lives to preach Gospel and spread God's Word. Paul tells them that their partnership with him involved both giving and receiving (v15)...

We share how God used Philippians 4:13, to rescue Oliver Cromwell from an overwhelming depression at losing his son. We continue to explore the truth that God lives inside us, and wants to strengthen us from within, by infusing and satisfying our souls with His life and peace, this being the secret that Paul discovered for living a life of contentment. This is a life of faith, so we also discuss f...

In our passage of Scripture, Paul shares how he had learned to secret of being content, independent of his circumstances. This is actually the secret of living in victory over sin, because the opposite of contentment is covetousness, where we are never satisfied. When we do not trust in God's goodness, we easily become discontent, believing the grass is always greener elsewhere. This causes us to...

Jesus said: "Peace I leave with you, My Peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14:27). We discuss the nature of this peace, that Jesus promised to give us, and how it is different from the peace, which the world gives. In our passage in Philippians, we discover the keys to walking in the Peace of God and enjoyin...

Come to a special place in the foothills of Mount Hermon called Caesarea Philippi. It is from here that the River Jordan begins its downward journey through the Land of Israel. It was here that Jesus took His disciples to reveal Himself to them as the Messiah and glorious Son of God. It was here that Jesus announced the formation of His Church, which would prevail over the Gates of Hell. It was he...

After describing the wonderful transformation that we will receive at the resurrection of our bodies, Paul addresses a problem of strife in the Philippian Church, a personality clash between 2 strong women, giving us an example of how to deal with such conflicts, by calling each one to have the attitude of Christ toward the other, and thereby come into harmony with each other, for the sake of Chri...

It is important that we walk in the light that we have receive from God, then we will qualify to receive more light and spiritual growth (v16). Paul warns about the dangers of backsliding, and embracing a lifestyle of sin, and becoming an enemy of the Cross, where Christ died to set us free from sin. We should take as our examples and heroes true men and women of God, not those in the unbelieving...

Paul compares our pursuit of Christ in this life to an athletic race where the runners give their whole concentration and effort to reaching their goal and receiving their prize. We discuss why the pursuit of Christ to know Him is also necessarily the pursuit of Christ-likeness - the more we are like Him, the more we can be one with Him. Paul refutes the idea that sinless perfection is possible in...

Christ pursued us in love from Heaven to earth and accomplished our salvation through His death and resurrection (2:5-11), and now we must respond to His offer of salvation. First, we must receive Him and His righteousness as a free-gift, which is the only firm foundation for our salvation and eternal life. Having received Christ's love and assurance, we should now return His love by pursuing Him...

Being a Christian means having a loving relationship with the Lord, rejoicing in Him and trusting in His grace, having no confidence in the flesh. We discuss the dangers of legalism and why it is an evil counterfeit of the true Gospel. Christ alone and His righteousness is the only sure foundation for our salvation, but legalism causes people to look to themselves and trust in themselves and their...

A discussion between Howard Condor, Hugh Jackman and Derek Walker concerning the identity of the 2 witnesses. Pastor Derek makes the case that they are Moses and Elijah.

In these verses, Paul gives us 3 biographical illustrations of what it means to have the attitude of Christ, in His submission to God and thinking of others and serving them by putting them first. (1) Paul, himself, who was willing to lay down his life in martyrdom as a drink offering, to deepen their faith by his example (v17-18). (2) Timothy, who was most like Paul in sincerely caring for the Ph...

An overview of Philippians shows that each chapter reveals who Christ is to us: (1) Christ, our Life, (2) Christ, our Mind (Attitude), (3) Christ, our Goal and (4) Christ, our Strength. We see how the classic passage of Christ's humility (v5-11) is not just given to us as our example, but describes His loving pursuit of us, bringing about our salvation, so that we can become New Creations in Him,...

We take another look at this awesome passage, by comparing it to how Jesus washed the feet of His disciples in John 13. We see how in John 13, Jesus acted out the whole drama of salvation, from beginning to end, revealing His humility, and that His motivation for humbling Himself was His love for us. We see how this foot-washing passage is an exact step by step parallel to Paul's great passage in...
