Be Alert (1 Thessalonians 5)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 30, 2024

What is the biggest message in prophecy? Is it prediction addiction, figuring out times and dates and personalities? Is it to simply be alert? Let's find out in 1 Thessalonians 5.

Prepared

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 10, 2022

Battle Ready: Know Your Enemy - Part One Series

Contributed by Martin Spoelstra on Mar 14, 2023

In order to be prepared for the attacks of the Devil and his demons, we must know more about him. Spiritual warfare has nothing to do with personality, gifting, calling or background. When you signed up to be a Christian, you automatically entered into warfare.

Me – Are we aware of the battle that goes on in the spiritual realm? In every world religion, there is an acknowledgement of a spiritual realm. In every minor religion, there is an acknowledgement of a spiritual realm. Even for those who don’t believe in God, many believe in the supernatural. If ...read more
