The third in our series of four in Advent talks this time looking at “M” for “Maranatha.” The reading is from 1 Corinthians 16:19-24. The talk looks at the Aramaic term and its meaning in context as “come our Lord.” Then looks at the purpose of the return(parousia) of Jesus to earth including themes of redemption, resurrection, judgement and deliverance.

The second talk in the series of four in Advent.  “Hear O Israel -The LORD our God is One”  Deuteronomy 6: 4 – 8. The fundamental unity of God – is axiomatic to all three monotheistic faiths. The Old Testament contains many indications of a “fullness” in Godhead which foreshadows the NT teachings of the Trinity. God the One person: the biblical evidence leads us to two fundamental statements concerning the person of the Lord Jesus Christ: he is truly human; he is truly God.

In Ephesians 3 main pictures are used to describe the togetherness/ the oneness Believers in Jesus have: the Church is like a Body with Jesus as the head; and like a Building with Jesus as the cornerstone; and like a Bride with Jesus as husband. Jane continues this short theme of togetherness taken from Ephesians 6: 10 – 18 This time looking at “ always carry the shield of faith.”
