Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 23, 2023

John the Baptist's followers struggle with changing their allegiance to Jesus.

Zach was tired. He had been coming down to Tiberias every week for almost two months, bringing news and food to John in prison, and it looked like he’d probably be doing it for the rest of the year.

Great Supper

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 17, 2022

On The Edge Of Greatness!

Contributed by Brandon Max on Jan 19, 2022

The Great Apostasy Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Aug 8, 2023

Study #2: When we look around us, it seems that more and more people are leaving the church. Why? This passage of Scripture explains the reason why, and alerts us to a trend that will occur just before the Rapture.

NOTE: This Bible study on the end times comes from the perspective of a pre-tribulation Rapture. Before we talk about the Rapture, we need to look at something called “The Great Apostacy.” In Hebrews 10:23-25, we read, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who ...read more
