For the past several weeks we have focused on a letter that missionary Paul wrote to a young church he started in the city of Thessalonica. He wrote this letter in 50 A.D. and, of all the books in the New Testament, this one was written first. When he gets to the last part of his letter, Paul ...read more

Romans 1:18-32 Series

Contributed by George Mclaughlin Jr. on Oct 9, 2009

The main point of this text (vv. 18-32) is that Paul was eager to preach the gospel (to those who were in Rome) because of the hopelessly determined disposition of mankind, to ignore God. We need to know that God reacts very strongly against those who sup

Studies In Revelation Chapter 18 Series

Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 12, 2011

This is a study of chapter 18 in the book of Revelation. This is a controversial subject but takes a conservative approach to understanding the book.

Studies In Genesis: Chapters 18 Series

Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 15, 2011

This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. Genesis 18 1. And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the ...read more

The Book Of Revelation (Revelation 18)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 21, 2022

Before we get started in Revelation chapter 18 we need to understand why Revelation chapter 17 and 18 is in the scriptures.

In Revelation 16 the Lord made the most important announcement to mankind that will ever be made. That announcement is made when this seventh vial is poured out on the inhabitants of the earth and the Lord says, IT IS DONE! In other words the world as we know it to be will be destroyed by almighty ...read more

Have you ever thought about what God goes through to win a soul that is hungry for the truth?

While we may not think about it, the Scripture reveals God did some marvelous things in the lives of some Bible characters, as He sent them out to win souls to Christ. In this text we see just one example: I. THE DEDICATION Look at verses 1-3, “Now there were in the church that was at Antioch ...read more
