Can one person change the world? Anchored in the scriptures, we begin with insights from John 2:23-25 and explore a variety of biblical passages that shed light on this compelling inquiry.
Join us as we examine the nature of the world described in the Bible, particularly through the eyes of Jesus. We discuss the current state of the world, its inherent tribulations, and how history's great figures, like Alexander the Great and Ronald Reagan, have impacted but not fundamentally changed the world as depicted in scripture.
Through scriptural references, we explore the transformative power of the gospel on individuals and the ultimate renewal of the world upon Jesus' return. We address the persistent evil of the present age, the hope for believers, and the promise of a new world where righteousness dwells.

Welcome to Current Events and Christian Expectations! In today's episode, we delve into the topic of assassinations, exploring their historical impact and their relation to the origins of government.

Join us as we reflect on the importance of aging gracefully, the wisdom that comes with years, and the role of the elderly in guiding the younger generation.
Welcome to another episode of "Current Events and Christian Expectations." Today, we delve into the concept of the "unworthy" God. We discuss the modern trend among Christians to dismiss the Old Testament and its God, a view that has historical roots going back to the heretic Marcion.
We examine statements from contemporary Christian leaders and contrast them with Jesus' own words, affirming His connection to the God of the Old Testament. We discuss the importance of the Old Testament in understanding Jesus' mission and character, and how dismissing it undermines the foundation of the New Testament.
The episode also highlights various scriptures that showcase the merciful nature of God, both in the Old and New Testaments. We discuss the hermeneutics of interpreting the Bible, emphasizing that some Old Testament truths, like God's mercy, outweigh others. We conclude by affirming that the God of the Old Testament is worthy, merciful, and central to the Christian faith, just as Jesus taught.
Join us as we uncover the continuity between the Old and New Testaments and reaffirm the worthiness of God in both. Stay tuned for a deeper understanding of how Jesus and the apostles viewed the God of the Old Testament and what that means for us today.
Welcome to "Current Events and Christian Expectations." In today's episode, we delve into the pressing question: Is God judging America? We kick off with a reading from Matthew 24:29-30 and explore various scriptural references to understand the divine judgment of nations, particularly America.
We discuss prophetic insights, historical events linked to solar eclipses, and scriptural warnings about ignoring God's signs. With examples from history and recent events, we examine how nations, including America, might already be experiencing divine judgment.
Through the lens of Isaiah 19 and other biblical passages, we identify signs of judgment, such as confusion among leaders and societal chaos. We also reflect on the role of Christians in these times, emphasizing the importance of living godly lives and hastening the ultimate revival—the return of Jesus Christ.
Join us as we explore these themes and seek to understand God's expectations for nations and His people. Stay tuned for a thought-provoking discussion that encourages us to keep looking up and living faithfully.
