We said in the Coming Storm presentation that a new season was upon us and we talked about the fact that Jesus told us to be aware of the signs of the times. We said that the changes that were coming were not just financial and economical, but that these signs would be of every [...]

When Jesus came, He entered a highly religious society. This was not a time like the one where people half thought about God’s Law and spent most of their time visiting temples to other gods. This was a society who knew their theology better than anyone. They knew God’s ways better than He did!
They had [...]

If you follow the history of God’s people, it’s a story on repeat. Over and over, God blesses His people, they prosper, they turn away from Him, and He sends His prophets to call them to repent, they don’t, and then He sends calamity on them, then they see how much they need the God [...]

“For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.”(Matthew 5:20)
Whatever happened to Grace? I thought the blood of Jesus covered all sins and all we had to do to get to Heaven was to accept the [...]

Scripture is very clear about what the nature of the good news is. We can look at the words of Christ or the early Apostles to see this. Even John the Baptist, who did not inherit, nor understand the kingdom, preached of its arrival through Jesus. However, because we’ve heard the wrong thing so often, [...]

What is the gospel (good news)? We stated last week that what we normally hear presented as the gospel is but a shell of the good news Christ and the apostles taught. We have an event scheduled tonight to deliver and discuss the pure, unfiltered gospel as taught by Christ which you can sign up [...]

Almost three years ago, I visited Israel with Kara, Joe, & Glenn and some new friends which made up our mission trip team. One night the section of our group was in the home of some Jewish believers for their fellowship meeting. At the beginning of the formal time, we all began to pray and [...]
