    The crowds were looking for a Christ who would "remain" and lead them into glorious earthly kingdom, but Jesus was talking about being "lifted up" and not being with them forever. The Jesus they wanted wasn't the Jesus they were getting.

    I’m told these were actual answers that children gave in Sunday School: “Noah’s wife was called Joan of Ark.” “The epistles were the wives of the apostles.” “Moses got the 10 Commandments at Mt. Cyanide.” “King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 porcupines.” “The men who followed the Lord were called ...read more

    ...where a person cannot connect to heaven; there is no vision, no dream, no prophesy; he sees nothing, he hears nothing from God. Every thing in the spirit realm is dark, deaf and dumb there is a need for deliverance.

    Daniel 2:22 “He revealeth the deep and secret things: He knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with Him”. There are some things that are deep and others are on the surface.

    Father Dave’s answer to some basic questions on heaven: ‘what is it?’, ‘where is it?’ and ‘how do I get there?’ This sermon focuses on the vision in Revelation... where ‘the sea is no more’.

The number of friends and family who have been heading in that direction lately make it a pertinent subject for me personally. Besides ...read more
