This message is about eating and drinking – eating and drinking with Adam and Eve, eating and drinking with Moses, as well as eating and drinking with Jesus, and His Disciples – giving insights into the meaning of Jesus’ cryptic saying, “Eat of My body, and drink of My blood”.
Joined to the Cornerstone Knowing & Experiencing Christ in, and by, and through Sound Doctrine Throughout the Old Testament, we see stones placed as memorials of experiential encounters with the Lord. In the New Covenant also there are foundational “stones”, as it were – foundational experiences of Christ. We need to be “devoted to the … Read more
The Holy Spirit is the only One who gives the life of Christ which sustains His Body. (John 6:63; 2 Corinthians 3:6) Jesus told us that the Holy Spirit would “take of what is Mine and declare it to you”. (John 16:13-15) “The fellowship of the Holy Spirit” is people participating in what the Holy … Read more

I believe a particular verse in one of Isaiah’s messianic prophecies is foundational to an understanding of the Law of Christ in the New Covenant context: “I give YOU as a covenant to the people, as a Light to … Read more
More and more of those who are searching for “the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ” (2 Corinthians 11:3) with regards to corporate fellowship are finding themselves in a wilderness (Acts 7:38). They are actually being “led by the Spirit into the wilderness”. (Matthew 4:1) For God always begins “a new thing” with His people in … Read more
To discern the mystery of Christ fully, we must have revelation of Him as the New Covenant Pattern, because the New Covenant is all about the life of Christ in us. This is the subject matter of this article.
In this article, I am focusing on the adjectives, “apostolic” and “prophetic”, rather than the nouns, “apostle” and “prophet”. My goal is a more Christ-centered perspective and understanding of the phrase, “the foundation of the apostles and prophets” (Ephesians 2:20-22), as well as, what it means to “lay” that Foundation. (1 Corinthians 3:10-11)
