Taking The Floor Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 11, 2007

The Dragon, The Woman, And The Two Witnesses

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 21, 2006

Learn about Satans plan to destroy the redemptive work of God, how God remains in control no matter what awful thing happens - and about how He always has a witness on the earth.

Focal Point Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 19, 2011

John never expected what happened that long-ago Sunday morning. There he was, worshiping as usual on Sunday morning, when all of a sudden a clear, loud voice - a voice as impossible to ignore as a trumpet call, lifted him to his feet and spun him around. And there before him was a vision, a ...read more
