    This is a sermon for people who are afraid of and or do not understand the infilling of the Holy Spirit. I use Bible passages from both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament.

    Here is a highly controversial passage, yet for the bible-believer, it is really quite clear. There will be a kingdom and a fierce and powerful king, but he will choose the wrong opponent and be destroyed.

    Passage: Daniel 8:1-27 Intro: When we run across a highly technical and controversial passage like this… 1. we can’t figure out the “so what?” 2. that quickly goes to “who cares” 3. God has a purpose, so don’t miss it while we dive into this ...read more

    This passage deals with the spiritual struggle behind the great tribulation—the dragon’s (Satan’s) attacks against the woman (Israel).

    Last time we got a glimpse of the great spiritual conflict that is going on behind all the ungodliness and evil of this world. We have seen how the devil is out to hurt the heart of God. He does that by turning people away from Christ. Last time in Rev. 12: 1-5 we ended with the woman (Israel) ...read more

The original test had 20 questions, but for time’s sake let’s see how well we can do on just 10 of them: 1. If it’s not broken.... ...read more
