The Siege Of Jerusalem

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 1, 2022

We probably don't like to think about God's justice. The siege of Jerusalem by the Romans, in A.D. 70, forces us to. In this event we see God's justice but we also see that God protected his people in a time of wrath.

Series: Wow! Whose Beautiful Young Daughter Is That? (Part 7) I Will Not Marry Ruth And Pollute My Family – She’s Not My Type

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 9, 2020

Prejudice causes us to treat others as inferior which is inappropriate for a Christian. The Holy Spirit does not discriminate. God is no respecter of person. Jesus mingled with sinners. For the next of kin to reject Ruth because he did not want to stain his honor was prejudicial.

God Made Me This Way Series

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 7, 2021

This is not a message about homosexuality. This message is much broader than that. It’s about a false doctrine or belief in the Body of Christ that is a lie. Part of the message is personal and you can also personalize it from your life experiences.

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jan 20, 2002

The purpose of these judgments is: 1. To bring people to repentance. 2. To demonstrate the patience of God. 3. To establish God’s justice.

In the book of Revelation there are three major judgments that come to the earth. The first wave is called the seal judgments. They unfold as the Lamb breaks the seals of the scroll. As each seal is broken, it unleashes a new barrage of God’s judgment against an evil and Christ-rejecting world. ...read more

Waiting For God's Ultimate Kingdom

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Dec 16, 2007

John the Baptist understood the power of the miracles, but wanted judgment to accompany them. He was having trouble waiting for justice -- as we do.
