Satan's End Time Collaborators Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on May 16, 2024

Throughout history, Satan has always had collaborators. Specifically, religious or political powers who have joined forces with him to suppress and oppress God’s people. As earth’s history comes to a close, he will, once again, have collaborators: The Sea Beast and the Earth Beast.

Time Spent In God's Word

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 7, 2024

Do What You Need To Do

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Apr 29, 2010

Don’t neglect what God has given you. Don’t procrastinate. Lean on God and do what you need to do, today.

It Will Come To Pass, Because He Lives.

Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Sep 25, 2014

Those bad times in our life will come to pass too because God is our refuge and strength. He is always there and never misses a moment. I have always wondered just how someone makes it through this life believing some dead god.

It will come to pass, because He lives. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the ...read more

Urgency

Contributed by David Spiegel on Mar 6, 2015

The signs of the times are evident. Where is the sense of Urgency that the church should have? Jesus said He is not willing that any should perish, so why are we so comfortable with the idea? Shouldn't we be about the family business of making disciples?

Make no mistake, we have an “urgency emergency”! I wish I could stand here this morning and say, “Everything is alright”. You can just coast through this life and enjoy it as you live to a ripe old age and be gently laid to rest among family and friends as angels carry you ...read more
