Every believer must always be on guard against the enemies schemes to deceive us. As we draw ever closer to the Tribulation these schemes will intensify! Jesus warns us of this very thing in today's passage of scripture.

Scripture reference:
Matthew 26:31-35
Daniel 4:8-22
Revelation 18:1-3
Acts 5:17-42

The disciples are asking Jesus, "when will the destruction of the temple take place?" Jesus enters into a lengthy answer that has become known as the Olivet Discource. Join pastor Richard as he expounds on the Olivet Discource.

Scripture references:
Daniel 9:20-27
2 Thessalonians 2:1-17

It is true, we don't always learn certain truths of scripture, at the time we hear them. Some truths or lessons are learned much later in life. Join pastor Richard as we read of one such lesson Jesus was teaching the disciples.

Scripture reference:
Ezra 3:10-13
Acts 3:1-10
1 Peter 2:4-10
Ephesians 3:13-21

We are constantly given a worldly picture of sex, but what does a Godly picture of sex look like? In week 2 of "The Gift" series we look at what God made sex to be, and practical steps to enjoying an abundant sex life in marriage.

God has given us an amazing gift of sex in marriage. However, we live in a world saturated with a twisted version of what God has given us. We need to escape the chains of sexual sin that bind us, so we can move forward to enjoy God's good gift the way He intended!

What do our eyes see? What does the spirit discern? Can we tell when someone is genuinely living an honorable life, verses, someone who looks like they are living an honorable life? Jesus is teaching the disciples this valuable lesson in today's passage in Luke.

Scripture reference:
1 Timothy 6:6-10
Genesis 4:1-10
1 John 3:10-15

One of the difficulties within Christianity is when someone is faking their Christianity. Jesus says, "You will know them by their fruit" (Matthew 7:20). In this section of Luke Jesus gives to His disciples, identifiers to help them know a counterfeit when they see one so they do not become one.

Sometimes people think the problems in the world are too chaotic for God to solve. America, much like the nation of Israel in the 1st century, finds themselves between a rock and a hard place. What is God going to do? Join pastor Richard as he explores the answers to these difficulties.
