What, exactly, is "the promise of the Spirit"? And how can we receive it in faith?Scripture tells us that Abraham was blessed "in every way," and that we Christians might come into that blessing. The Holy Spirit is called to help us understand and receive our inheritance. Today Derek explains there are five specific ways in which the Holy Spirit helps us.

The will of God for us is abundance--that we may serve Him with joy and gladness of heart.Today, Derek brings out the material blessings that are contained in Deuteronomy 28. If we listen to the voice of the Lord, we will be blessed in the city and in the country...and all that we put our hand to do.

On the cross, Jesus became our substitute, bearing our wounds.Deuteronomy 28 contains the definitive list of blessings and curses-both of which come upon us and overtake us based on one principle: If we listen to and obey the voice of God. Many physical benefits are included.

On the cross, Jesus bore the curse that we might walk in the blessings of God.The requirement to Israel in the Old Testament was to listen to the voice of God. In the New Testament, too, Jesus repeats this command when He says, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me."

Blessings will track you down when you obey the voice of the Lord...Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. When we walk in obedience to God, we don't have to pursue blessings, they overtake us. Blessing naturally results from obedience to God.

The meaning of New Testament is the same as in "last will and testament."We are heirs of a kingdom, but many Christians do not realize that fact, nor do we walk in our inheritance. But first, we must be delivered from the domain of darkness. Satan has no more legal claim against us.

Few people are prepared for the death of a loved one. A couple could live together for many years and yet not be prepared when God calls one of them home. That is unrealistic because God is going to take one home. And don't forget: caskets come in all sizes. But, we can face the death of a loved one in victory and it can prove to be yet another evidence of God's love and faithfulness.

If you are to face death with peace, confidence, and with calm assurance, there are four main things Derek would like for you to know. The extraordinary thing is that people go through life knowing full well that they are going to die, and yet never make adequate preparation for that sure event.

There are two main judgments in Scripture-the judgment of believers before the judgment seat of Christ and then the judgment of unbelievers before the Great White Throne. Learn about how these differ one from the other.

Today, Derek speaks about the next main event which will follow the resurrection of believers-and that is the Judgment of Believers. That phrase may surprise you. You may not think there will really be a judgment of believers. But indeed there will be! The Scriptures are very clear about that.

Today's message takes the resurrection theme one step further. Derek speaks about the new kind of body with which believers will be resurrected, the resurrection body of the righteous.

In the New Testament, the resurrection of righteous believers is always closely associated with the Second Coming of Christ. There are many different prophecies relating to this event; there are also many different interpretations of exactly what is going to take place at the return of Jesus

After the death of Jesus, while His body lay in the tomb, His soul descended into Hades and, as a result, certain important and permanent changes took place. The death and resurrection of Jesus was cosmic in its effects. It produced results that affected the entire universe from that time forward.

In today's message, Derek draws aside just a corner of the veil that separates this world from the next and gives us a glimpse into what comes after death. Today, he speaks about the period before Jesus came.

The resurrection was clearly predicted in the Old Testament Scriptures. As well as increasing our understanding of the resurrection, this teaching provides an outstanding example of the amazing accuracy of biblical prophecy.

The resurrection of Jesus, who was our representative, is the sure seal upon God's offer of forgiveness and salvation through Jesus. It is only the risen Christ, received and confessed by faith, who brings to the sinner pardon, peace, eternal life and victory over sin.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the heart of the Christian message. In fact, without the resurrection there is no Christian message. It all revolves around the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is not a philosophy or a theory. It is a fact of history.

Atonement is the work Jesus accomplished through His death on our behalf. The word is made up of three sections: "at," "one," "ment." Atonement is at-one-ment. It restores the sinner to God's favor. It's reconciliation.

What is a kinsman-redeemer? Under the law of Moses and in the culture of Israel in the Old Testament, the kinsman-redeemer had two main responsibilities. The first, to avenge a near kinsman if he was murdered; and the second, to marry the widow of a near kinsman if he died. This is what Christ is for us.

Some people don't realize that there is a spiritual world. They think everything begins and ends in this world and there's nothing beyond. But the spiritual world is as real and objective as the physical world. The really important difference between the two worlds is that the physical is temporary and transient; the spiritual is eternal and unchanging.
