    For the believing man or woman, is not just some test, wherein if we pass we get to escape from this life into a better life. Rather it is a war in which we have been ordere...

    Heaven: what is it, where is it, and are you in a hurry to get there? These are important questions, I believe, because I sense that there is a fair degree of confusion surrounding the Biblical concept of Heaven.

    The arrangement of the Tabernacle can only be clearly understood through the revelation of God's plan of salvation revealed in Jesus Christ. It is an amazing thing to see and humbling to know we don't deserve it and yet we can have it by grace through faith in Jesus! Hallelujah!!!

     | 7,685 views

    Prophetic messages on the Internet are abundant posing new challenges as well as possible benefits. Pastors must equip their congregations to test these messages using biblical principles. This series teaches principles for doing that. This message uses lessons from the story in 1 Kings 13.

    Intro Last week we taught on the subject of testing prophecy. How do we know that a dream, a vision, a word that someone is sharing is truly from the Lord? And even if it is from the Lord, are we interpreting it correctly and applying it wisely. We found that all three aspects of a prophecy must ...read more
