     | 8,108 views

    Why does Luk mention that believers were first called Christians at Antioch?

    First Called Christians at Antioch Acts 11:19-26 This passage follows the conversion of the Roman Centurion, Cornelius. God had opened the door for the Gentiles to come in. It took divine intervention to make it happen. First or all, Peter had to receive a vision from the Lord to direct him to go. ...read more

    Breaking The First Four Seals Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 11, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,516 views

    The events that we will see with the seals are not the end of history itself. They are events that precede the end. The seals have to be broken before the book can be opened. This is exactly what Christ had said.

    Now the time has come. God’s book—the Book of Destiny, the book that spells out what is to happen in the end time—is now to be opened. We need to note that the Lamb doesn’t open the book at this point. He merely breaks open the seals. The events that we will see with the ...read more

    Jesus is so much more. He is not a “copy” of God, and he is not a facsimile of God, Jesus is the exact visible image of the invisible God. And as such, He is the author of our family...the family of God.

    Today, we celebrate Easter, the incredible event in which Jesus Christ, who died on our behalf, rose again from the dead. But we really aren’t celebrating an event, but rather a Person. We aren’t worshipping an event, but a Person. For us to grasp the significance of Easter, we really need to ...read more

    Happy “Newness” Sunday, Everyone Friends, when Jesus Christ enters your life, you don’t grow wings; you don’t develop a halo, and you are miles and miles from being holy. When Jesus Christ comes into your life, the battle begins!

    Happy “Newness” Sunday, Everyone! When my wife and I (finally) gave our lives over to Christ, the scenery around our house changed.
