    The Sixth Trumpet

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Mar 6, 2014
     | 4,029 views

    The sixth trumpet sounds signifying God's continued judgment on mankind. However, even in the face of this judgment, humanity continues to rebel and will not repent from its sins which are still as rampant today as they were in the first century.

    The Sixth Trumpet Revelation, Part 11, Revelation 9:11-21 Introduction - After the fifth angels sounds John sees a star fallen from heaven to earth -- The meaning here is one of descent to accomplish the task assigned -- This is not a fallen angel (or fallen in position) - The angel ...read more

     | 15,005 views

    Part 5 of 10 in a series dedicated to debunking commonly held myths that we think are in the Bible but really aren't, myths that can and often do have devastating effects on our faith.

    INTRODUCTION: Most people in this world know at least some of the Ten Commandments; even non-Christians can quote at least a few of them. And the favorite and most-often quoted out of all of them is “Thou Shall Not Judge.” Oh wait that’s not on the list? Strange, because to hear ...read more

    To perish, Nineveh thought best not to, when repentance was the discipline to obedience needed to save their souls through forgiveness, to enter in to the salvation plan of God through Christ Jesus, unlike the Galileans and those sinners at Siloam.

    REPENT by Dr. Gale A. Ragan-Reid (October 23, 2015) “The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here [“So the people of Nineveh ...read more

    United In Faith, United In Christ

     | 7,701 views

    We have to set aside our sinful nature if we want to be united in Christ. We have to go back to the beginning of our Christian mission and purpose before we can move forward.

    The more things change, the more they stay the same. Sound familiar? In 1 Corinthians 1:10-17, Paul addresses a problem that still exists today. That problem is the lack of unity in the Christian church. The Corinthian Christians were divided into factions based on who had baptized them instead of ...read more

    Slave Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,856 views

    In this overlooked parable Jesus describes the life of discipleship in terms of service. Rather than focusing on our rights and needs, and deciding what we'd like to do, we need to focus on how we can serve our Master.

    This has been called “the most troubling parable” in the Bible. Why does Jesus say we are like unworthy servants? I know I must have read this before, but somehow I glossed over it. I've got a lot of books on the parables of Jesus and most omit this one. A year ago an article in ...read more

     | 5,997 views

    Confession is a key to spiritual formation—it frees our chains, releases Christ’s power in us, and helps us to mature as He desires, not as we desire.

    In his autobiography, Mahatma Gandhi wrote that during his student days he read the Gospels seriously and considered converting to Christianity. He believed that in the teachings of Jesus he could find the solution to the class system that was dividing the people of India. So one Sunday he ...read more
