    I remember when I was in the seventh grade; I was the new kid in school and had the great misfortune of standing up against the school bully.

    A contemporary study on Revelation, chapter 9

    The book of REVELATION is an odd book when compared to the rest of the Bible. It is a warning for everyone, even though some will not be here to see these warnings unfold. It tells of things to come that were seen in a vision nearly 2,000 years ago. And it describes some things the writer had ...read more

    This is the 5th message in our walk through Revelation. Here, we are offering an understanding of chapter 10 and the mighty angel and the little scroll.

And now, it is time for mankind to receive a message from a “mighty” angel. That message is described as something sweet to the mouth but bitter to ...read more

    Have you ever wanted something so badly from God that you were willing to not let Him go until you got it?

    If you could go back and get an accurate count, how many decisions do you think you made last year? If the truth were to be known, the number would probably be in the tens or even hundreds of thousands, wouldn’t it? Now, exactly what is a decision? A decision is a point in time where you ...read more

    A very easy-to-understand teaching on Revelation 2.
