Preachers that teach the prophecy view of Dispensationalism believe there will be a future “coming of Jesus Christ.” These preachers describe this time to include protection for God’s people and judgment for those in rebellion against Him. For this event, these preachers say this “return” will literally occur three very different ways. Here are the […]
Psalms 118:24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. What is the “day” being spoken of here? In many church services, this verse is used to invite the believers to rejoice in the Lord. If read alone, the above verse does appear to say this. […]
April 7, 1985, I asked God to “prove” He is real. My life was in shambles at the time and I saw little reason to carry on. God answered my challenge that next Friday when I was invited to an Apostolic church service for the very first time. That night the preacher spoke a message […]
Lessons 4A, 4B, & 4C GROW Part 2 / Lesson 4A – SAINTS AND SIN Audio: 4A Let’s begin this lesson by defining some of what we will talk about in this fourth lesson. These include: Sin: biblically it means “an offense” (see Strong’s H2403 and G266). The Vine’s Complete Expository Dictionary says […]
Genesis 1:1-5 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. [3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. [4] And God saw the light, that it […]
Faith untested is faith unknown, and it is during such tests that the level of a believer’s trust becomes so important. Jesus has all power in Heaven and in earth, so He also has power over every trouble, trial, and sickness. Consequently, just because a man or woman can’t see Him moving, that doesn’t mean […]
Part 1 / Lesson 2 – THE ETERNAL ONE GOD The writer of Hebrews said that when we come to God we must first believe that “He is.” The Bible shows that Jesus was God incarnate. This teaching is the single most defining issue of the New Testament. The word “incarnate” in Latin means “in” and “flesh.” […]
Free will is defined as: “the power of acting without the constraint of necessity or fate; the ability to act at one’s own discretion” (Webster’s 1828 Dictionary). Confusion about free will often derives from a misunderstanding about God’s love. This confusion usually comes from the accusation that a God that allows mankind to suffer sin or the […]
Psalms 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. This ‘east to west’ reference is more than a map coordinate, for within this statement is a glorious promise that Jesus was to fulfill for you and for me. Why “east to west”? To guard against […]
Matthew 18:21-22 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
