    From Shame To Glory Series

     | 10,008 views

    Before Jesus was crucified, the cross was a symbol of suffering and shame. After Jesus’ resurrection, the Disciples and the whole world came to see and understand the cross in a whole new way. It became a symbol of hope, new life, and victory.

    The great Bible commentator William Barclay described a tragic event that took place early in young Jesus’ life, when Jesus was somewhere around the age of 10 or 11. A zealot by the name of Judas the Galilean led a rebellion against Rome. He raided the Roman armory at Sepphoris, Mary’s hometown, ...read more

    Pandemic And Presidential Prophecy - Does God Give Ministry Mulligans When Prophecy Is Wrong?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 23, 2020
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,782 views

    2020 was a year full of Prophecies about the ending of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the USA Presidential election, that can be added to the proliferation of so-called prophecies over the last 30+ years that were completely wrong.

    2020 was a really bad year for self-proclaimed 'Prophets' of God (or should I say 'profits'?) . There was not one 'prophet' who prophesied a legitimate warning nor predicted that a worldwide pandemic was coming. However, there were numerous 'prophets' who ...read more
