Paul claims that God has revealed a secret plan (a mystery) hidden from prophets and saints in times past but now revealed. God has removed the barrier between Jew and Gentile... there is no one people of God, without distinction.

We take a look at the life, character and inspiration of Paul. We see that Peter regarded Paul's writing as 'wisdom' that had been given to him, and as scripture. We are poised to examine Paul's revelations.

In this study we discover the links between the promises to 'the house of Israel and the house of Judah', the promise to the house of Israel, and God's plan for all nations

We gather together the expectations of the Day of Pentecost in their emphasis on the newness and freshness of the promised New Covenant that is brought into fulll operation by the sudden coming of the Holy Spirit from heaven.

We examine the simple sentence Jesus answered, ·Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. (John 3:5 NKJV) Simple?!? ...but the implications are immense. 

We dig deeper in to the context to discover the relevance of 'you must be born again' into the Jewish beliefs about Baptism and the importance of a conversation between two Rabbis, Nicodemus and Jesus

Back on track with our revisiting of The Better Covenant. Why did Jesus forbid the disciples to preach about him? Our witness is 'additional', the Spirit must bear witness too.

the gospel according to Luke makes a neat connection to the last words of the Old Testament. A messenger will prepare the way and another will bring the promise of of a powerful gospel

There is a lot of groaning going on in this study; the creation groans, the saints groan and the Spirit groans. Our weakness is not our disabilitu but our qualification for the Spirit's help.

The law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has freed me from the law of sin and death. Paul declares what God has done and its implications for a life lived in the power of Christ's resurrection life

We have arrived at the troublesome Romans 7 chapter. How are we to understand Paul's testimony here? Is this his current experience or an echo of the past?

we follow Paul's steady pursuit and reasoning in Romans 6 and see his thrilling conclusions. We are free from Sin

Pressing forward into Romans 6 we uncover the wonders of the effects of Christ's Calvary work on 'Adam, the old man' and see the prospect of a resurrection life and its enjoyment now.
