    Those who fight and gain the victory with Christ, the Lamb, are described as "the called, the chosen and faithful". This is a study of the significance of these descriptive titles given to the followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.

    In this passage, we have three titles given as a description of those who, with Christ Jesus, battle with and gain the victory over the Harlot (the Apostate Church; that is, the Roman Catholic Church) and her political allies. In a broader context, these three titles are an accurate description ...read more

    What was it like to stand near the cross of Jesus? We examine four people who stood near the cross and try to understand what it would have meant for them.

    “Near The Cross” Introduction: John 19:23-30 When Jesus was crucified I wonder how near the cross we would have stood? We sing that grand old hymn – “Jesus, keep me near the cross…there a precious fountain”, but how near the cross would we have been if we were there to witness Jesus’ ...read more

    Know the heart of God for the lost. Looking at the life of Jesus, we come to understand what is needed to reach the lost - compassion.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,302 views

    As Christians we desire to do things for the Lord. But sometimes we are really just doing them for ourselves. Learn how to spot self service and your attitudes while serving.

    Most Christians understand that belonging to the Lord means we serve Him and will do things that He tells us to do. We like to think that we do it because we are so thankful for what He has done, or because Jesus commanded us to preach the gospel and make disciples or because we see the example of ...read more
