    Contributed by Richard Tow on Mar 7, 2021
     | 4,090 views

    Is the gathering in Matthew 24:31 the rapture? Are those "taken" in Matthew 24:40-41 raptured? Message examines dominant views on Matthew 24:31-44 seeking understanding of end time events as predicted by Jesus in the Olivet Discourse.

    We are studying the Olivet Discourse, looking for insight on the question: Will Christians go through the tribulation period? Matthew 24 provides a chronological outline of events from the first advent to the second advent. It is therefore an essential part of eschatological revelation. Our ...read more

    Pray For Justice Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Jun 2, 2018
     | 3,711 views

    While Scripture reveals that God is loving, merciful, and gracious—a savior of repentant sinners, one truth about Him that is decidedly unpopular today is that He is a God of vengeance against those who reject Him and salvation in His Son.

    Observing common perceptions, it has been said that God created humanity in His image and humanity has returned the favor. People have created gods in whatever form pleases them to accommodate their sinful lifestyles. God rebuked such foolish people in Psalm 50:21: “You thought that I was just like ...read more

    Our Sovereign Lord Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Apr 13, 2014
     | 4,960 views

    In Colossians 1:15–19, Paul reveals our Lord’s true identity by viewing Him in relation to three things: 1) The Father (Colossians 1:15), 2) The Universe (Colossians 1:16-17), and 3) The Church (Colossians 1:18-19).

    If there are two things that have a tremendous bearing on our future experiences, they are assumptions and expectation. We tend to make assumptions about people and expect certain actions accordingly. As the Jews experienced Christ's ride into Jerusalem that first Palm Sunday, they assumed He was ...read more

    based on 1 rating

    1) A Communal Thanksgiving (Psalm 75:1), 2) A Careful Thanksgiving (Psalm 75:2-5), 3) A Contemplative Thanksgiving (Psalm 75:6-8), and finally 4) A Certain Thanksgiving (Psalm 57:9-10).

    There are a lot of reasons why it seems odd to celebrate Thanksgiving this year. Not only does it seem that we just finished summer, but also in regards to what is going on in our world. We have witnessed tropical storms, earthquakes, terrorist acts and so many instances of suffering. For those who ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,142 views

    In Matthew 26:26-29, in preparation for the Cross, Jesus’ institution of the new memorial consisted of three primary elements: 1) The Directive (vv. 26a, 27), 2) The Doctrine (vv. 26b, 28), and 3) The Duration (v 29).

    Matthew 26:26-29. 26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, 28 for this is my blood of ...read more

    Ready For Anything (Part 4: Going On The Offensive) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 9, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,220 views

    This exposition from Ephesians 6:10-18 deals with the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit. The prayer called for in verse 18 is part of the teaching concerning spiritual warfare. While a good defense is necessary, Christians must go on the offensive and fulfill the Great Commission.

    Intro We are dealing with spiritual warfare using Ephesians 6:10-18 as our text. Every Christian needs to know how to do spiritual warfare because every Christian is a soldier. Like it or not, you are in a fight with the devil. His intentions toward you are not good. He hates you because he hates ...read more
