Unexpected Hope Series

Contributed by Rich Mccaskill on Jul 21, 2020

In our confusing and broken world, we can still have hope because of Jesus.

My own journey of hopelessness began when I was 15. As much as I wanted to believe in God, I could not.

Attempted Coup (1 Kings 1)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 13, 2025

Do churches face coups? What can we learn from an attempted coup? Let's look at 1 Kings 1.

Is political leadership still today exercised by people pushing and shoving? Do leaders of nations still like to impose their will rather than act in humble self-sacrifice? Let’s look at 1 Kings 1. In his old age, how did David remain warm in bed at night? Was it a purely platonic ...read more

Daniel's Vision Of World History Part 2 Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 30, 2022

What we are about to see in the remainder of this vision is future prophecy that has not yet occurred. Beginning with verse 36, the king referred to in passage is the Antichrist who is to arise in the last days of human history.

Last time we looked at the first part of the vision given to Daniel and saw that the events in the vision have now already occurred in history. We stopped at Daniel 11:35. There seems to be a definite break between verses 35 and 36. What we are about to see in the remainder of this vision is ...read more

Understanding The Rapture Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Aug 8, 2023

Study #3: This study looks at the two most prominent views on the Rapture. Ultimately, however, no one knows the exact day or the specifics of when it will occur. What matters is that we are prepared for that Day by knowing Jesus Christ.

NOTE: This Bible study on the end times comes from the perspective of a pre-tribulation Rapture. In our last study we looked at the Seven Churches of Asia to arrive at the conclusion that we are now entering the last days. There is a succession of events that must take place during the last ...read more
