     | 4,949 views

    Revelation does not mean "to conceal". It is meant to be read and understood. This is an introduction to a long sermon series on the entire Apocalypse and gives my interpretive foundational views of the book.

    An Introduction to the Book of Revelation Revelation 21:1-7 Rev. Mark A. Barber It might seem at first strange to begin a sermon series on the Book of Revelation from a passage at the end of the book rather than the beginning. However, there is a good reason for this.

    Psalm 126 captures the Israelites' thanksgiving for God's miraculous provision in the past, their need for God now, and their faith that God will come through for them in the future. It is our song as well: God has done great things for us!

    Cost Of Freedom 1 Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 24, 2024
     | 1,315 views

    Cost of any freedom has never been cheap. For our freedom, Christ died and shed His blood as a ransom for our sins. If the cost was not paid by His blood, we would only be redeemed temporarily and would continue to live as slaves like the folks of the OT.

However, some of the first “freedoms” to be exercised in these formerly communist countries were ...read more
