Philip & The Ethiopian Eunuch

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 22, 2021

God works strategically so that all races are included. God is working to populate heaven with all kinds of color. The Holy Spirit wants us to move past the barrier of the races.

Or look at this one: meet my wife’s first husband (show picture of younger me) -:). Acts loves to tell “before and after” stories as well. Only ...read more

Acts Of The Apostles (12 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

The church lamented his death, and probably wondered who could take his place. They did not need to wonder, because when the Lord takes a saint home, He always raises up someone to take up where that saint left off. When we got to chapter 8, by the time we got to the fifth verse, we found that ...read more

The Prophecy In The Upper Room, Part 2

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 19, 2022

The Lord Jesus gave a promise to His disciples and those who would come to Him for salvation that He would return for them (John 14:1-3). These verses are considered to be His teaching on the "Rapture". Are we correct in this interpretation? We will look at the evidence.

On the night before He was to undergo the trial of the crucifixion and the redemptive work it ensued on behalf of fallen humanity, Jesus had given the disciples the assurance that even though He would soon leave them, He also promised that He would return and "receive you to Myself, that ...read more
