    We Must Obey God Rather Than Men

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 18, 2026
     | 614 views

    As our world, and nation, become increasingly hostile to faith, we may face a hard choice: obey orders from human authorities which conflict with God’s Law, or disobey and face the consequences. This sermon looks at three scenarios in Daniel and draws lessons for us today.

    This morning, This morning, I’d like to address a concern that many of us have as we read and watch the news, as we observe the changes taking place in the world, and specifically in what used to be considered Christian nations. And what we are seeing is a growing hostility to Christian witness and ...read more

Turn to a friend and tell them the last thing you thought about last night before falling asleep and the first thing you thought about this morning. Sometimes we have very little control over our thoughts; they ...read more

    Their white garments, and golden crowns seem to indicate that these 24 represent the redeemed. The question is which redeemed? Not Israel because they aren’t saved until near the end. Not the unsaved because that happens after the 7 year tribulation.
