We also discuss the Christian’s role in praying for civil leaders, even though many of them are ungodly. God currently has established civil government and leaders and instructs Christians to obey civil law, pay taxes, and pray for our leaders

The enemies of the church were expecting that Peter would have been brought out and executed in connection with Passover. But God answered prayers and rescued Peter in accord with his own purpose and miraculously rescued Peter.

Listen to how wonderful God’s future promises truly are for every believer in Christ.

While the church was at prayer for Peter, an angel comes into his secure prison to rescue Peter. We point out that the light shining in the prison cell and the chains falling off are analogous to conversion.

Satan will deceive the nations, but his end has already been written.

We must know that we are never to seek secret information from the world of the spirits in order to know God’s will. Deuteronomy 29:29 informs us of important categories of God’s revealed will and the secret things that belong only to God.

God uses all things to accomplish His purpose. The fact that God uses the actions of evil people who have evil motives (such as those who rejected and crucified Christ) never exonerates those who do evil. We also discuss how God’s revealed, moral will sets the boundaries about what we can or cannot validly do without sin.…

The incredible detail given in the Bible about the future Millennial Kingdom clearly shows this Kingdom is not simply a possibility or an imaginary “what if” world. It is an absolute certainty that will be established on this earth.

Examining conditions that will prevail during the Millennium: It will be a time of unprecedented peace between peoples and nations. Even the nature of animals will be changed so that they will be at peace with one another and with humans. t

Agabus’ Prophecy and Providence

We can be assured that if we know the Lord and are willing to serve God will use us as well. We do not need man-made programs or human wisdom to determine what our gifts are. God providentially uses us as He brings us to the right place and opportunity to serve.

What will the Millennial Kingdom be like? Dana Burkinshaw examines ten important Scripture passages dealing with this period of time

Dana Burkinshaw continues his analysis of the three major millennial views (Premillennial, Amillennial, Postmillennial) and reviews how the concept of a future Millennial Kingdom has been regarded throughout church history

Those who hear with saving faith are sealed by God and assured of future glory. Many people hear the gospel but only some hear, are convicted of its truth, and believe. These are the ones who have salvation which means rescued from God’s wrath against sin and have the gift of eternal life.

We have a Discussion about the necessary distinction between God’s providential will and His revealed moral will. For example, it was God’s purpose that Jesus would be rejected and crucified, but those who rejected Him are morally culpable for their evil motives and actions.

Major millennial views that have arisen: Premillennialism, Postmillennialism, and Amillennialism. Is the binding of Satan present or future? Is the “first resurrection” spiritual or physical? Is the duration of the thousand years symbolic or literal?

Come and hear why every believer can be confident that they will dine in the future kingdom with their great King.

Jesus Christ will return to destroy the enemies of God surrounding Jerusalem. We talk about Christ as a mighty warrior who is easily able to dispatch His enemies with the “appearance of His coming” and by the power of His spoken word.

We must be clear that Jesus and His apostles speak for God and we must listen to their binding, authoritative words and not the many false claimants in church history who supposedly speak for God.

As we finish this third installment from Revelation 19:1-10, we examine several important doctrines centered on the uniqueness of Christ.

Pastor Eric Douma presents the key issues that must be addressed regarding contending for the faith.

God knows the heart which should make it plain to us how badly we need forgiveness through Christ. We need to believe and trust Christ who is the truth and speaks the truth.

Jesus spoke the truth about heavenly things to real people in real places. He spoke cold, sober truth and we must listen to Him.

With the Apostle John, we witness the angelic realm singing praises to God for His judgment of Babylon and redemption of God’s people.

Dana Burkinshaw analyzes these alleged discrepancies and demonstrates that they are not really the contradictions they are claimed to be.

The key concept that we examine is how John points his readers to faith in Christ as the only way to eternal life.

We can trust in the promises of God, even in the midst of difficult circumstances which seem to be going from bad to worse

In this message from Revelation 18:9-24 we finish discussing God’s judgment upon Babylon. We learn key ideas in this message: God will establish His city (Jerusalem) by grace, whereas the world will establish a sinful city by works (Babylon). We contrast these two cities and encourage believers to live for God’s city.…

This section of Scripture illustrates how strongly religious tradition keeps people from learning and believing the truth. The man who was born blind and healed by Jesus confronts a situation where the religious leaders threaten to cast out anyone who confessed Christ

Key issues about the gospel and how God uses it to save sinners. Mike Gendron does a masterful job of correcting misunderstandings and giving biblically sound and practical means of glorifying God by presenting the gospel of Jesus Christ

The church has been promised exemption from God’s wrath. Pretribulation rapture is the doctrine taught in Scripture.

There has been a long discussion in church history about why Jesus made mud and sent the blind man to wash. Bob DeWaay compares those who think they see (spiritually) but are blind and become hardened. Contrasted with those who “do not see” who come to faith and now truly see!

The warnings from Scripture are the only warnings this world will be given prior to God’s coming judgment.

Believe in Christ who is God the Son who existed from all eternity as God and with God.

Equipping the saints to understand the blessed hope of Christ’s coming while demonstrating the clarity with which God wrote about the end times.

Discussion of hermeneutic issue of who determines the meaning of the Bible, the author, the text or the reader? The answer in the case of the Bible is “the Holy Spirit inspired author.” We cannot trust subjective feelings.

Three terms that every Christian should be familiar with in order to understand eschatology: The Day of the Lord, Christ’s Parousia, and Daniel’s 70th week.

Warning from Revelation about what God says to those who choose to live life without Him.

Several passages indicate that God’s purpose was for Messiah to go to Jerusalem and be rejected. There was real pathos when Jerusalem “did not recognize the time of visitation.”

Only God can cleanse the hearts of sinners. When He does, those who are thus cleansed are to be accepted by the church. Traditions of men that are beyond Scripture are not binding on Christians.
