    THE HARLOT OF REVELATION 17 Revelation 17:1-18 The great religious harlot is about to be destroyed, along with its political and economic counterparts.

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Nov 16, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 538 views

    As I was going through this study on how to live thankfully, I realized that living thankfully elevates our relationship with God and with others. It takes it to the next level. In other words, as disciples of Jesus Christ, this is next-level stuff.

    Jesus The Controversialist Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Apr 17, 2023
     | 2,121 views

    Mark portrays Jesus as strong and bold as He dealt with spiritual controversies "head on." In this section of Mark, he grouped together four incidents that showed how Jesus faced the controversies and taught the truth. We need to ask ourselves if we are more like Jesus or the Pharisees.

    A. Let me begin with a question: when you try to picture Jesus in your mind, how do you picture Him? 1. Do you picture Him being gentle, meek and loving? Certainly, He was all those things. 2. But Jesus also had other characteristics and other sides to Him. 3. When we read the Gospel accounts, ...read more
