Send us a text In this Address #3b of 4 meetings, John Brereton explains the spiritual truth that all believers in Christ are united into one body, the body of Christ, through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit—a work that began at Pentecost. 1 Corinthians 12 shows that while believers may come from diverse backgrounds (Jews, Gentiles, bond, or free), they are baptized by the Spirit into one body, forming a living connection not only with each other but also with Christ, the Head in heaven. This ...

Send us a text During a time of famine in Gilgal, the sons of the prophets gathered before Elisha, relying on him for sustenance. But one of them, in order to increase the group's resources, gathers a lapful of fruit which he believes will be useful to all. This fruit, gathered by the man in his ignorance, brings "death in the pot." All their food is poisoned, and thus they find themselves reduced to the same extremity as the people. This poor remnant must feel the power of the death that threat...

Send us a text (An excerpt from a letter from J.N. Darby) Taken from Hebrews 13 The spirit of obedience is the great secret of all godliness.
