    Pouring Out Of The Bowl Judgments Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 23, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,620 views

    There is a big difference between the bowl judgments and the other judgments. The seal judgments and the trumpet judgments will be limited judgments. But the bowl judgments are total judgment. The bowl judgments will stop man’s ungodly ways upon earth.

    At the end of the world, right at the close of the period of history that the Bible calls the great tribulation there is judgment coming to this earth. There are three judgments during the last days of human history. 1. The seven seal judgments 2. The seven trumpet judgments. 3. The seven bowl ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 2,897 views

    We want to change – our selves, our lives, our circumstances, but we can’t seem to find the right change that works. We are constantly seeking to change all the things that seem to be so full of promise but empty of real or lasting results.

    Attribute Five | A Man Is Receptive To Truth Series

     | 5,529 views

    Truth for man is only found in God and His Word. God’s Word, the Bible, is our truest guide and one resource we should reach for in every decision, challenge, and temptation. A man should receive this truth before his own intuitions, emotions, & opinions.

    Well, here we are, attribute number 5 – Receptive to Truth. As we look at each one of these 9 attributes of a man of God, I said that each one of them is going to drive us closer to becoming the men that God wants us to be.

     | 2,492 views

    We will look at some of the healthy relationships that God has established and try to understand how these could get altered when an outsider intrudes into it. These are like the asymptomatic people whose interaction will affect these hearty relationships that God has established.

    Psalm 91 - Study 18 - Epidemics that Strike at Noon We read in Psalm 91:6, “You will have no fear of diseases that come in the dark or terrible suffering that comes at noon.” (ERV) In this study, we will meditate on the part of the verse that speaks about the ‘terrible sufferings that come at ...read more

    The church has a different goal–we are to model for the world the authentic way to love. The spiritual quest we must follow is that Jesus calls us to be different. John suggest the failure to love extravagantly, as God first loved us, is perhaps one of the greatest sins.

     | 1,104 views

    There are certain pagan practices that God detests, and we are cautioned to not dabble with them. Our protection comes from God alone, and we must be watchful so that we are not deceived by Satan’s cunning ploys.

As the people of Israel progressed towards the Promised Land, the King of Moab out of fear and envy wanted to curse the Israelites, and thereby hoped that he could hinder their advancements. He bribed the Prophet Balaam, and ...read more
