He tells us who Jesus is. Because you’ll never understand what Jesus did until you know who Jesus is.

Countdown To War Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 25, 2011

The four horsemen - war, slaughter, famine, death and pestilence - have accompanied humanity since the dawn of time; they remind us of our sin, and God's judgment, and his ultimate control over all of history.

When I mapped out this year’s preaching schedule I did not - repeat NOT - know that war with Iraq would begin the week the seals on the scroll detailing the fate of the world would be opened and the four horsemen let loose. And I’m not egotistical enough to think that God arranged the ...read more

Revelation 1: A Declaration Of Praise And Promise

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 16, 2023

If the book of Revelation had just this one chapter, it is enough for us to give praise and glory to God. He shows not just the apostle John but all of us that He is in charge of the affairs of His creation. No mere created being, whether it be mortal humanity or malevolent demon, will ever have ...read more
