    based on 9 ratings
     | 30,500 views

    One of the many paradoxes of the Christian life is that the grace of God is most keenly experienced not in the best but in what seems to be the worst of times. However much the Christian longs for exaltation it is when he is humble he receives grace.

    A student in Bible School was confused when his theology professor began a series of lectures on Bible prophecy, or “eschatology” as he called it. The professor spoke about pre-millennialism, a-millennialism, and post-millennialism. Then he talked about the pre-trib, mid-trib, and ...read more

    Paul wrote this section to clarify what would precede the Day of the Lord. Several events must occur before the Great Tribulation will arrive.

It is key to understanding future events and it is central to the letter. The church at Thessalonica found itself, much as we are at times, in a state of ...read more

But if you’ve ever failed, God has a word for you today. Let me tell you the true story of Walter. He grew up in a very ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 18,996 views

    Peter indicates that our salvation should impact how we related to governmental authority. Submission is not a popular topic, but it is needful, in our rebellious & self-gratifying society. Submission is recognition of God¡¯s right to govern our lives.

    1 PETER 2: 13-17 RESPECT CIVIL AUTHORITY [Renewing Hope Series] [Romans 13:1-7 / Acts 4:19-20; 5:29] From this point on 1 Peter discusses the effect of our salvation on our life and relationships.

     | 20,461 views

    God’s will for every Christian is maximum family resemblance to our Elder Brother. God seeks to order our lives to achieve this lofty purpose. Christ-likeness is the wondrous outcome which God has purposed in our salvation.

    ROMANS 8: 29 & 30 SALVATION’S LINKS [Ephesians 1:4-5 / Philippians 3:8-12 ] God has just said that He works all things together for good for those who love Him, for those who are called according to His purpose. But what is this "good" that is promised? We find the answer in verse 29. ...read more
