    Contributed by William Mouser on Aug 23, 2005
    based on 7 ratings
     | 2,876 views

    In Matthew 16, Jesus confers on Peter (and, later the other Apostles) authority to rule the Church, founded on the truth of Peter’s confession that Jesus is the Messiah.

    Matthew 16:13-20 800-Pound Gorilla? Or the First Pope? There’s a phrase that’s popular in modern discussions of any number of topics, and that phrase is this: “an 800 pound gorilla in the room.” An example would be this line which I plucked from a blog entry on the international economy as it ...read more

    The First Six Seals

    Contributed by Timothy Darling on Apr 28, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,917 views

    The seals show the suffering of the world which believers must endure, even if it means martyrdom, but they are precursors to hope.

    Like other prophecy, Revelation has a layered quality. Some say it is about the Roman Empire beginning with 70 AD. Some say it is about all time since Christ. Others say it is about the last days. I say, yes it is. One interpretation does not necessarily negate another. Rather, like much ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,318 views

    Do you believe there are forces around us, influencing our lives, which are battling for control of our world? This sermon makes the case that spiritual warfare is very real, and that at the end of the day we all serve one side or the other, whether we want to admit it or not.

    Joel's prophecy causes some confusion for interpreters because it seems, and is, a description of two very different events. Very different, yes, but very related, also. See for yourself.

    2. History and Prophecy. The book of Joel There are two portions of Scripture that I believe need our further scrutiny on the subject of locusts. Actually the subject is Bible prophecy, a favorite of mine for sure. The first portion is the prophecy of Joel. I quote here from a former blog of ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 1, 2025
     | 94 views

    In the conclusion to the Parable of the Sower we consider two things. One is the connection between this parable and the Church at Ephesus (Revelation 2), and the other is seeing how this Parable connects with the Apostolic period of Church History.
