New Earth

This teaching stream explores God’s purpose from Creation to New Creation—for a New Earth.

It explores how the Adam-Christ parallel explicates God’s redemptive purpose for history, from Creation to De-Creation (Fall), climaxing with Re-Creation (Christ); in fact, a New Heavens and a New Earth—a restored cosmos. It also demonstrates the principle of Adam and Christ's covenant headship, the former leading to curse and historical judgements, and the latter to blessing and human flourishing.

Romans: Kingdom through Covenant, Part 1

February 24, 2018 by David Orton

Romans: Kingdom through Covenant, Part 1

The question will be asked, why another commentary on Romans? First, because Romans provides the ABC's of the Gospel, it is Christianity 101. From the early church to the present day, it has been recognised as the foundational teaching of Christianity, providing the Bible's most complete statement concerning God's purpose for humankind, its fall from that purpose, and his … [Read more...]

The Incarnation: Renovation of the Cosmos

The Incarnation: Renovation of the Cosmos

Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a … [Read more...]

God’s World Purpose: The Gospel of the Garden, the Land & the Kingdom

September 11, 2017 by W. J. Ern Baxter (1914-1993)

God’s World Purpose: The Gospel of the Garden, the Land & the Kingdom

  Ern Baxter MP3 Teaching Series: The Gospel of the Garden Part 1 One of the most devastating strategies in our time against the victory of the Gospel is the dualistic view of man’s salvation in escape from this world, postponing victory to a future heavenly realm. Nevertheless, counter to this, there is a recovery underway to reclaim God’s original world purpose and … [Read more...]

The World of the Resurrection

April 16, 2017 by David Orton

The World of the Resurrection

For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. Romans 8:19 The resurrection of Christ signals the transformation of the cosmos – this physical world – in time and space, in history. From chapter 1 of his epistle to the Romans Paul progressively explicates the Gospel as God's solution to the disruption of the cosmos caused by human rebellion, … [Read more...]

New Earth

October 1, 2016 by David Orton

New Earth

God’s purpose is from Creation to New Creation—for a New Earth. The Adam-Christ parallel (Rom 5:12-20) explicates God’s redemptive purpose for history, recreating a New Heavens and a New Earth in Christ (Rev 21:1-6; 2 Cor 5:17). This motif of a New Creation in Christ demonstrates that the infinite creator-God was not ‘caught on the hop’ by the Fall; that while the impact of … [Read more...]

The Message

21st century Western man is now living in the moral debris of the 20th century experiment—the experiment of messianic statism – Marxist, Fascist, and now secular Humanist – with its rejection of God in Christ as the genius of the Western cultural heritage. Spiritually, morally, and financially bankrupt the West has now exhausted its options. 

Our message despite the historic failure of humanity, including the church, is one of certainty and hope. God has a purpose for history and for nations—for their governance, prosperity, and peace. God’s plan for the planet is more than adequate for its crisis. Lifemessenger is committed to speaking a prophetically pertinent word to church and culture.
