The Great And Awesome Day Of The Lord

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021

Our life should be all about living in expectation for Christ's return. Praying for the end. Working for the kingdom. Making sure that we’re at peace with God, and at peace with each other.

If we ever have questions about the end of the world and about what will happen when King Jesus returns in glory, we turn to the book of Revelation. There in that last book of the Bible, there’s much about the end-times: signs and wonders, disasters and persecutions, and the Lord Jesus coming in ...read more

Pentecostal Power Series

It was one of the favorites of the Jews for centuries before Christ, and it has been a significant day in the church for two thousand years.

Prophecy Fulfilled Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

Prophecy is also perverted in every generation by those who feel it was all written for just their day. There is a whole graveyard full of old prophecy books that died along with the people who are suppose to be the anti-Christ.

In no area of biblical studies have Christians been more often deceived then in the area of prophecy. The early church fathers got caught up in wild spiritualizing of the Old Testament. They found profound revelations where there were none. It became so subjective that you could make Scripture ...read more
