Beyond The Upper Room: The Proclamation Of The Church

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 8, 2023

This message gives a survey of the events leading up to Pentecost and the command from the Lord Jesus to preach the Gospel to everyone. This is an adaptation of a message from the 1995 edition of the Zondervan's Pastor's Annual. It needed no update, for the Word of God is eternal.

The disciples were made up of men who had been called from their chosen professions to follow Jesus of Nazareth. Having left all, it must have seemed to them that at the crucifixion of Jesus they had lost all. Following the admonition of their Lord, whom they saw disappear into the clouds, they ...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

Have You Made A Room For Jesus?

Contributed by Everett Mccoy on Jul 19, 2008

Story of the Shunamite woman and Elisha. The room she made for the MAN OF GOD (that’s Jesus, not me) was a room for dreams, miracles, supply.

For the Shunammite woman, it started with a single meal to the prophet. Then it became frequent meals, every time Elisha came by. Nothing wrong with giving meals to Jesus, especially if the relationship is growing. There is something captivating about Jesus. Many of us are feeding him from ...read more

INTRODUCTION Revelation is a difficult book. We can’t deny that. The fact that it’s difficult might put us off reading it. But as well as being difficult, many Christians don’t like Revelation’s message. Among other things, it talks about tribulation and wrath and judgment. Other parts of the ...read more

Mansion, Prayer Room Or Pup Tent?

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Apr 6, 2016

Does the Word shape your thoughts about Heaven or old songs and your desires?

This issue has caused me some grief over the years and it is such a petty issue. Yet, some have made it a massive doctrine to be staunchly defended like the Trinity and Substitutionary Atonement.
