     | 931 views

    God entrusted men such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel with the task of warning the people about the consequences of disobedience against God. It is the sacred duty of all believers to both share their faith as well as to warn others about the wrath to come.

    We have looked at the Lord Jesus Christ, the center of all Bible prophecy, and His mission of redemption. The bulk of prophecy focuses upon Him as well as the future of the nation of Israel. The Scriptures describe Israel's unstable relationship with GOD in a series of rebuttals and ...read more

    God’s Dwelling Place

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Nov 15, 2025
     | 132 views

    In a world constantly seeking a place to belong, to feel safe, and to be loved, the scriptures come as a refreshing reminder that God has chosen us to be His dwelling place. His desire has been consistently clear: to dwell among His people, not in buildings made by human hands.

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Story of John Wesley’s dream of first going to hell and then heaven and realizing only Christians were in heaven and not the denominations. Only when God dwells in us, we have eternity with Him. INTRODUCTION: In a world constantly seeking a place to belong, to feel safe, and ...read more

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Aug 6, 2024
     | 1,330 views

    The radical claim of Jesus is that He is God in flesh whom the Father has sent into the world to provide forgiveness and eternal life. He is the rue manna. There is a chart that reviews the different understandings of the Sacrament adopted from Crossways.

     | 222 views

    Jonah received a Word from the Lord for the sinful population in Niveneh. Jonah was tasked to warn them and call them to the Lord. We have received a Word from the Lord for the sinful population of Planet Earth. We are tasked to warn them and call them to the Lord. WILL WE REFUSE... or OBEY?

    INTRODUCTION Please turn to Jonah 1 Some consider the book of Jonah to be an allegory or, perhaps, a parable. However, II Kings 14:25 identifies Jonah as a real person, a Jewish prophet from Gath Hepher in Zebulun (near Nazareth), who ministered in the Northern Kingdom of Israel during the ...read more
