Webster's defines kindness as "that temper or disposition which delights in contributing to the happiness of others...in gratifying their wishes, supplying their wants, or alleviating their distresses"; and the Holy Spirit says this should all be done as though the other person is our own flesh and blood. Perhaps this message should be called "the impossible, part 3". Make no mistake - if we fail here, we fail to finish well (2 Pet. 1:7b; Jn. 17:21).

Daniel's 70th week of prophecy is quite possibly the most confusing doctrine in all the Bible. It is, however, utterly crucial to our understanding as it assists in revealing the antichrist's plan as well as God's dealing with Israel during the Tribulation period. Tonight, we tackle what the Bible describes as the most horrendous time in all of human history and "the man of sin" running the show - the 70th week.

"For bodily exercise profiteth little but godliness is profitable unto all things" (1 Tim. 4:8). As sheep, we can often grow faint and weary in well-doing. If you want to see gains in your personal walk with Christ, have him anoint thine eyes to see things from his perspective (Mt. 9:36)

The rapture is perhaps one of the most misconstrued doctrines in all the Bible. In order to properly discern what time it is (and consequently which rapture happens at what time), we need to rightly divide the word of truth (2 Tim. 2:15). 

The next character trait is a quality that is so close to God’s heart that it has been attacked since before the foundation of the world (Isa. 14:12-14; Gen. 1:26-27; Gen. 3:1-5). It has always been the plan of God to have a people that would be conformed to his image; to be in his likeness. And God has promised to finish what he starts (Phil. 1:6; Heb. 12:2). 

Revelation 3:14-22- The Laodicean Church Period (1900AD - Present).

Tonight, we close out Church History as well as the first part of our study of Revelation. Can we live as Philadelphians in Laodicea? A resounding "YES"!!! But it'll cost you...

Today we take a look at how to practically handle trials patiently from someone in scripture who is seen as an authority on the matter. We also take a look at how the disciples react when faced with a stormy trial (spoiler alert: they go nowhere fast).

Revelation 3:14-22- The Laodicean Church Period (1900AD - Present).

Everyone loves a good underdog tale...a Cinderella story that's seemingly too good to be true. Has there ever been a greater underdog than the Church? By all accounts, she shouldn't have made it past the third century. After the great come-from-behind victory she had during Philadelphia, let's see how the story of the church ends prior to the rapture (Revelation 4:1)

2 Peter 1 takes a turn in qualities we are to "add to our faith". Whereas virtue, knowledge, and temperance are all actions we proactively take, this next one must be reactive. Tune in for "the impossible" (Matthew 19:26)

Revelation 3:7-13 - The Philadelphia Church Period (1500AD - 1900AD).

Let there be light...the Bible is back in the hands of the common man (Ps. 119:130; Mk. 12:37)! We come to another watershed moment in church history where God took the gospel to the ends of the earth through the greatest missionary movement of all time. What will do? Will you be a pillar in the temple of your God (Rev. 3:12)?
