Does Romans 10-9-10 teach that a person must believe in Christ and confess that belief in order to receive eternal life- Sometimes this is referred to as the -ABC's of salvation.- This study looks at the context of Romans 10 to see if this is valid. The Bible is very clear in terms of how a person can receive the forgiveness of sins, and it is simply through believing in Christ's sacrificial death.

In this lesson we review the literal nature of God's kingdom on earth, and look at the Matthew 13 parables. In these parables Jesus is explaining the way the world will be until the kingdom comes to the earth since He had been rejected by the nation of Israel as their Messiah. We specifically investigate the parable of the wheat and the tares.

In this lesson we concentrate on the prayer that Paul has for the Thessalonian believers and their spiritual life. From Paul's prayer we can get an idea of what our prayer for one another should be, and the direction of our lives.

In this lesson we continue to look at the Matthew 13 parables, which describe the inter-advent age. These parables are critical to understand in order to comprehend what the Bible teaches concerning the difference between the kingdom and the time in which we are living today.

It's easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of Christmas as we are typically so busy with preparations and gatherings. We can also think of our traditions rather than the truth of Scripture. This message looks at how the word of God prophesied concerning Jesus Christ, and how Christ always pointed people to the Word, rather than His own actions. This message points people back to the Word of God.

Today we look at the parable of the sower, and how it describes the intervening period between Christ's two advents. In this parable Jesus is teaching how there will be different reactions to the gospel moving forward in time after He returns to heaven.

In this message we look at one of the most disregarded topics in Christianity today, and that is the fact that the Bible teaches about a place of eternal torment for unbelievers. It gives us no pleasure to teach on such a topic- however, it is critical for believers to understand, so that they are properly motivated to share the truth of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Our prayer is that you find this message motivating and edifying as we study this critical passage from 2 Thessalonians.

Is God going to judge the world in the future- In spite of what much of modern Christianity will say, the answer is a resounding -yes- when we understand what the Scripture says. Both the Old and the New Testaments give strong testimony to the fact of the Messiah coming to judge people at some point in the future. Paul gives a brief description of this event in the opening chapter of 2 Thessalonians, and from this we see that one day we will reap what we sow.

In this study we look at why there must be an intervening period between the two advents of Jesus Christ, and why the kingdom is delayed.

In this lesson we look at the origins of mysticism, how it became pervasive in the early church, what influence lessened its prevalence, and how it is making a come back in the modern church.
