How To Understand And Interpret End Times?

Contributed by Samuel M on Oct 26, 2023

Daniel when he saw God as ancient of days, he got an understanding of the Most High God as the one of who governs or controls times and seasons.

Daniel saw God as Ancient of Days seated on throne. Isaiah saw God as the Lord of Hosts seated on the throne. The way they saw God on the throne had a significant impact on their lives. The phrase "Lord of Hosts" was first mentioned in the Bible by Hannah to describe God. Hannah got this ...read more

Christopher Columbus set sail from Europe on August 3, 1492, with the three ships Pinta, Nina, and Santa Maria, presumably to discover a western route to the Orient.

Pretrib Rapture & Matthew 24

Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 4, 2024

A church member wrote asking about Matthew 24 – if the “rapture” is the same as the 2nd Coming. The 2nd Coming has two parts – the Rapture and 7 years later, the Visible Appearing of Christ to defeat the Antichrist and set up Millennial Kingdom.

How Would We Live Differently If We Knew It Was Tomorrow?

Contributed by Howard Green on Oct 21, 2024

How would we live differently if we knew Jesus was coming back tomorrow? It would radically alter our priorities and what matters.

Illustration: Imagine knowing about October 7th, the Indian Ocean Tsunami, 9-11, Pearl Harbor, or the Titanic on the day before they happened! Consider the importance of knowing what was coming and the chance to heed the warning. Knowing about these events the day before would have changed the way ...read more

Rapture- True Or False? What Will Happen At The Lord's Second Coming

Contributed by Robert Webb on Feb 3, 2025

There is cause for reservation about the popular conception of the rapture, especially in regard to the time element and manner in which it is commonly believed it will take place.

The rapture is an intriguing subject and at the forefront of much thought. What is it? This is the teaching that the church will be "caught up" or raptured in the clouds with Jesus and the resurrected believers and be with the Lord forever. That much is taught very plainly in 1 ...read more

Faith Futures At Record High - 1 Peter 1:7-9 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 28, 2024

Probably the most worn-out prayer there is, is that one-word reaction we always have when we suffer, “Why? Why is this happening?” Peter gives us the answer.

1 Peter 1:6 In which you rejoice, a little while, if necessary, you may be grieved in multifaceted trials, 7 in order that the proof of your faith (more precious than gold, the perishing through fire, but proved), it may be found toward praise and glory and honor in the revelation of Jesus Christ, ...read more

When we are yoked to Him the trials of life are easily borne.

A CALL TO THE WHOSOEVER. Matthew 11:28-30. There is a fine line between the Sovereignty of God and human responsibility.

God Of Mercy Series

Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on Apr 26, 2023

We are able to come boldly into the King of Kings presence. We do not deserve His love. It is because He is merciful. He has crowned us with loving-kindness and tender mercies. Mercy is not because we deserve anything from Him. It is all about God's love.
