Some thoughts on what the signs, as described by John, mean:"A “sign” is a mighty work wrought by Jesus that represents the revelatory and redemptive event happening in him… The theological significance of these signs is given in John’s own words: “These signs are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God” (Jn 20:31). Signs, like works, witness to the presence and

After a long time away from the blogosphere. I bring you the cov vineyard blog [reloaded]! This Sunday we are starting a series on "Signs of the Kingdom", exploring the Gospel of John. We will start with the first sign that John describes; Jesus turning water into wine.In preparation, I came across this quote:This is what eternal life means. This is what it means to be saved. It means to go about

Bearing the likeness of the man from heaven.1 cor 15:35-58The whole of chapter 15 in Paul’s first letter to the church in Corinth is devoted to the question of what happens when we die. In this last post we ask: What is the resurrection of the dead? What sort of bodies will we have? This is a summary from a talk from our Sunday Gathering which can be downloaded here or from iTunes.Some of the

What does the future hold?We are obsessed with the future. What will happen to us? But we feel powerless to do anything about it. Paul has shown that without the resurrection our faith and our future are meaningless. Without the resurrection there is no hope.

An Empty Message?Does it really matter what happened to Jesus? Does it matter if Jesus' body was resurrected from the dead?Here is how Paul argues his point in 1 Cor 15:12-19 12But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14And if

East of Easter: Part 1 The Message of Hope and GraceWhat happens when the sun goes down after Easter Sunday?How do we live life in the light of Easter?What difference does the resurrection make to how we live life?Like Mary, on that first Easter Sunday morning we don’t stand in the moment dumbfounded. The moment with Jesus in the dawn of the new creation moves us. It propels us into action. There
