The Lamb Breaks The Seals (Revelation 6:1-8)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 14, 2024

The time for judgment upon the earth and its inhabitants has arrived. The Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, takes the scroll from the hand of God and breaks the seals of God's wrath, each one progressively worse than the other.

The dramatic moment has arrived as the seals that bind the book of God are about to be opened, one by one. What is written upon the scroll leaps off the page and acts out the events of the future for the apostle John and the heavenly host. They are not reading the scroll but instead are ...read more

Taking A Look At Faith

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Dec 8, 2012

Love Takes Work

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Sep 4, 2023

Love is something we have to work at. It doesn't just instantly happen. Love at first sight can often be cured with a second look! We are not meant to FALL in love with anyone. We are meant to GROW in love. Growing in love is like planting a garden, it takes a lot of hard work.

The Bible is a book of signs and wonders. And when God did miracles through his son Jesus Christ here on earth, what it did was it made cynical people into saints. The doubters, who saw Lazarus come out of a grave, no longer doubted that Jesus Christ had the power over death. They just saw it and ...read more

Understanding The Bible's Take On Money issues. Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Feb 11, 2024

I want to talk to you about the power of money and the importance of breaking free from its control. Money is a tool, a medium of exchange, but when it becomes our primary focus, we lose sight of what truly matters.

Many individuals engage in giving, spending, and seeking strange money, which typically represents a life of hardship, ...read more
