    A unique but Biblical/Historical description of the Great Tribulation

    The Great Tribulation While this title has been popularized during the past century and a half by the pre-tribulation rapture theory, which also tagged it with the traditional 3-1/2 year time period, the fact of the matter remains, the Bible does not explicitly indicate an exact length of time ...read more

    The Great pretender pretends He/she is living a Christian lifestyle for Christ. When in actuality they are not. A Great Pretender is someone pretending to be in good standing with God. Other words, fake Christians.

    God’s Wrath on The Great Pretender! This is one of those unpopular, chasten messages if you will. But remember for whom the Lord loves He chastens. Definition of Pretender: One who stimulates, pretends, or alleges falsely; a hypocrite. A person who pretends for a dishonest purpose. An impostor. ...read more

    Without Faith, it is impossible to please God. Faith is the center of all we do in relating to God. Jesus said some people had either No Faith, Little Faith Or Great Faith. Today we will learn about a woman who Jesus testified She had great faith!

    For this week’s Bible Study, we have discussed about The Parable of the Great Banquet.

    God definitely has a way of speaking with us, even if we forget Him at times, especially when we are distracted with irrelevant things. In the depths of our emotions, He knows how to converse with us and tell us how much He loves us. In times of troubles, God invites us to be with Him. He never ...read more

    Who is Jesus? It's possible to have a high view of Him, but not high enough.

    Candidates for public office take polls to gauge their image, how they're perceived by potential voters. Are they viewed as likable, honest, capable? Jesus asked His disciples to share their input as to His public image. What were people saying about Him? He then confronted them with a more ...read more
