    Part 3 of 3 Many claim that the church is now Israel. After examining the scriptures, we cannot draw that conclusion without denying the accuracy of the Bible. This section looks at the promised and fulfilled inheritance of Israel.

    Israel Inherits Promises of Old (Part 3 of 3) For every curse against the sin of Israel, God follows it with a promise if they repent. It is frequently claimed that once Israel rejected Jesus as their Messiah that God cut Israel out of His plan. From this point of rejection, those who believe this ...read more

    Did you know that God has a building code? Christ will inspect our buildings using the ultimate test - the fire of His holiness. I am challenging each individual in the ’Body of Christ’ today to prepare for a building inspection. If we ignore God’s codes

    Opening illustration: We must use the right building materials if we want our ministries to stand in the day of His visitation. Every state in this country has strict building codes. You can’t just buy a piece of land and throw up a structure any way you choose. Local governments have standards ...read more
