Mark chapter 7 verses 24 to 30 record the encounter if a Syrophencian woman with the Lord Jesus at the border of Tyre and Sidon. This woman grasps the opportunity to meet Christ, an opportunity which was quickly to pass. Like blind Bartimaeus, the two blind men at Jericho, Zacchaeus, the woman with the issue of blood and the blind man at the temple in John chpater 9, the passing Jesus of Nazareth was an opportunity to encounter God and find salvation, a once in a lifetime opportunity not to be missed. In humility she comes to Jesus on behalf of her demon possessed daughter seeking just a few crumbs from the masters table. This woman appreciated that it was not her great grasp of a small God that would save and deliver but rather her small, weak grasp of a great God. God does the saving we come in faith.

Bible teaching from Revelation chapter 21 verses 4 to 8. In these verses we see God's purpose and plan for the world and the universe. God looks back at a world broken by sin, suffering, death, disease and dissapointment. The disasters of this world are not God's fault but God will fix them by the only means by which He can and will, by the power of His Son Jesus Christ.

The joy of believers in the presence of the Lamb seated upon the throne of heaven in Revelation chapter 5 contrasts with the disappointment, despair, death and loss of those who pursue the world with its passing atheism, materialism and hedonism. We cannot have both heaven and earth as our part and portion, a wise man will chose that which lasts the longest (Jim Elliot) - J Stewart Gillespie

Often times it is claimed that it's just as well we don't know what lies ahead of us, the book of Revelation tells us that what lies ahead is eminently predictable. Satan is true to form. He is the thief who comes to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10) and steal, kill and destroy is exactly what he will do. His goal is to steal any last vestige of hope which uniquely is found in a person; the person of Christ, joy originating in the Lord, and life, the gift of God by faith in the crucified Jesus. Now is the time to prepare. Hope, joy and life are the glorious products of the new life which flows from a living relationship with Jesus. Dr J Stewart Gillespie, from Revelation 17.

Revelation chapter 17 verses 1 to 4 considering who is Babylon and what is babylon? We consider babylon and her techniques of distraction and deceipt, the offer of 'all this will I give you' with promises she is unable to deliver on. Dr J Stewart Gillespie from the Bridgend Gospel Hall New Cumnock
