Where Are The Missing Jigsaw Pieces?

Steve Bostin from Christadelphians New Lynn

Ever wondered what the Bible is about?

Ever wondered what the Bible is about?
Never Found Anybody That Took The Time To Spell It Out?
You're getting Cose...

The Bible is not a collection of disconnected stories and moral teachings. It is a coherent narrative from Genesis to Revelation detailing God’s purpose with the earth and His intention to fill it with His glory.

* **The “One Purpose”**: Christadelphians believe God has one unified purpose, revealed progressively through His promises (the “One Hope”). This begins with the promises to the Patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) concerning the land of Israel and a seed (Christ) that would bless all nations.


* **Prophecy as the Plotline**: End-time prophecy is the climax and fulfilment of this entire plotline. Understanding the prophecies concerning the return of Christ, the resurrection of the faithful, the restoration of Israel, and the establishment of God’s Kingdom on earth is to understand the *destination* toward which the entire Bible is moving. Without this destination in view, a reader can easily misinterpret individual parts of the story.

Shopping has become such a big part of our everyday lives, and the choices we make can influence more than we realise.

If you’d like to make those dollars work harder for our local communities, consider choosing small. Households spend more than $110 billion with big businesses each year. Shifting a portion of that toward small, local retailers can make a huge difference for the wider small-business economy.

The yellow-legged hornet has distinctive dark legs with bright yellow tips. Hornets are also much larger than honeybees and common wasp species seen in New Zealand.

The yellow-legged hornet is a biosecurity concern due to its potential impact on honeybee and wild bee populations.

Tony and June feel like the luckiest people living in a Ryman village.

The couple have lived in their large, sunny serviced apartment for four years now and still can’t quite believe what a good score it was.

“It was the best thing we’ve done,” says June. “It’s north facing, so it gets lots of light, and it’s a good size, so I’ve got room for my card-making supplies.”
