Heaven, Hell, And The One Who Holds The Keys Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Jul 20, 2026

based on 1 rating

| 93 views

Our culture is often uncomfortable talking about death, heaven and hell. Heaven is reduced to clouds, wings and harps. Hell becomes a cartoon involving flames, red costumes and pitchforks. Neither picture comes close to the serious and glorious truth of Scripture.

Heaven, Hell—and the One Who Holds the Keys Introduction: Two Destinations and One Decision Let me begin with a very simple question. If you were going on a journey, what would you want to know? You would probably want to know where you were going, how you were getting there, and whether you had ...read more

The faith zone is the space between God making a promise and us seeing its fulfilment. It is the space between hearing God say, “Trust Me,” and having any visible evidence that the situation is changing.

The Sound Before The Rain Living Faithfully in the Faith Zone INTRODUCTION: BETWEEN THE SOUND AND THE SIGHT Christine Caine once described faith in these words: “That space between when you hear the sound of rain in the spirit and when you feel it on your skin? That’s the faith zone. That’s ...read more

Sabbath: The Holy Pause Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Jul 8, 2026

based on 1 rating

| 205 views

The first thing in the Bible that God declares holy is not a building. It is not a mountain. It is not an altar. It is time. God takes a day, blesses it, and declares it holy. Before there was a temple, there was holy time.

Can We Trust The Gospels? Following Jesus Through Reliable Eyewitness Testimony Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Jul 3, 2026

based on 1 rating

| 189 views

Christianity does not begin with a philosophy. It begins with a person. It does not rest upon ideas but upon events. If Jesus did not really live, really die, and really rise again, then our faith has no foundation. The Gospel writers faithfully recorded what actually happened.

The Bible does not begin by proving God's existence. It assumes it. Before creation, there was God. Before time, there was God. Before matter, energy, space, galaxies, angels, and humanity, there was God.
