This episode provides an overview of the entire Book of Joel, focusing on themes of divine judgment, repentance, and restoration. The Bible explains that the prophet Joel uses a devastating locust plague as a metaphor for the impending "Day of the Lord," a concept referencing both immediate historical calamities and the final eschatological wrath of God. Chapters 1 and 2 issue an urgent call for sincere repentance and corporate fasting, emphasizing that God, who is sovereign over all armies and disasters, desires mercy and is quick to restore what sin has consumed. Chapter 3 shifts focus to God's final judgment on all nations gathered in the Valley of Jehoshaphat, promising a future time of eternal restoration and blessing for Israel and the pouring out of the Holy Spirit upon all believers.

This podcast was taken from a series of lessons on the book of Joel by Pastor Anthony of the First LMBC in Lancaster

The primary focus is on Israel's spiritual adultery—specifically the Northern Kingdom of Ephraim—through idolatry and reliance on foreign alliances, which resulted in inevitable divine judgment and destruction (Assyrian captivity). Recurring theological themes include the futility of false religion and empty ritualism, God's persistent, redeeming love despite betrayal, and the necessity of genuine repentance and obedience for restoration. The studies consistently contrast Israel's disobedience with the sovereignty and faithfulness of God, pointing toward Christ as the ultimate King and Savior who fulfills the promises of healing and eternal life.

In Revelation 13 a description of the endtime event known by many as the mark of the beast is explored.

Ultimately the Victory is Christ, and Christ alone

Today's Message is from I Corinthians 15:12-20

12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

Without Christ We Are Miserable

Today we looking into the book of Hebrews 12. We read the result we should have based upon the Heroes of Faith listed in Chapter 11.

Prayers for all

Jesus Christ states that the Truth Will Set You Free. This promise is for His disciples. Is there any evidence of New Birth?
