The First Step To Knowing God Series

Contributed by Dr. Lewis W. Gregory on Jan 24, 2022

He is to stand up and speak up for God. As we look at Jeremiah’s first sermon there are a couple of ...read more

The Falling Away Comes First

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 18, 2024

The Thessalonians were looking forward to His coming. But something caused them to be “shaken in mind and troubled.” The assurance Paul gives to them gives assurance to us as well: the Lord has promised to return for His own, and we have not missed it. The falling away will come first.
