The Mark of the Beast? Revelation? The Apocolypse? The very own prophetic words of Jesus? A certain book series I wish would get "left behind" and... "Please don't take my Antichrist from me"

The likely unpopular conclusion to our two part eschatology teaching.

The Apocalypse? The Antichrist? The "Mark of the Beast"? The Book of Revelation? "End of Days"? The Rapture? Does Covid-19 fit into all of this? (And why a popular end times book series should probably just be... "Left Behind")

There's a curious, even obscure verse in the Old Testament about a group of men (and women) from the tribe of Issachar who "knew the signs of the times and the best course to take".

That's a verse for our generation isn't it. A verse for this specific time of COVID. How we need wise men and women of God who know the signs of the times AND the best course of action to take.

In this special teaching segment, I put my Dad on the spot (literally... no warning... no prep) and have a conversation about the HOW'S of hearing from God. What kinds of habits and actions should a believer incorporate into their life to better hear the "voice of the Shepherd". Keith Gonyou is someone with years of ministry experience, but more importantly, one who has a vital and daily reciprocal relationship with the Holy Spirit.

A shock to the culture.. or a crisis can sometimes allow for people with a political or social agenda to swoop in amidst the chaos and implement change - Sometimes good change, sometimes not so good. In the same way, this crisis or "shock" called COVID feels like it could fundamentally change us, the question is will we allow God to reveal the hard truths of our character to conform closer to the image of Christ? it may be harder than you think.

Part of our series "Can you hear me now?" - What God might be saying to us in the midst of coronavirus.

A part of our "Can You Hear Me Now?" series. Where is Jesus in the storms of life?

In our CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW series we continue to explore what God might be saying even through some of the most painful moments of our lives. Maybe some of you are going through it right now.

In this series we've been asking what God might be wanting to say to us during one of the most difficult seasons in our lifetime.

Today we make it very personal. For those of you going through financial crisis, health issues, loss of loved ones, career crisis, severe loneliness, depression or hopelessness, you may be asking three questions of God. Why me? Why this? Why now?

While we may not have firm answers for you today there are some possibilities you might want to consider.

(part 1 of 2)

The Covid Crisis has also been a crisis of RELATIONSHIPS for many people these days. Families, marriages, parents, co-workers and neighbours. It's a social distancing season that subtly makes us look at the "stranger" as an enemy... the exact opposite of what our Lord taught us.

Part 3 of our series "Can You Hear Me Now?"

In the midst of what might be the biggest economic downturn of our generation, could it be that God is saying something profound ... or perhaps reminding us of something he's been saying for a while now regarding our finances. Did you know Jesus said more about finances than he did about Heaven or Hell combined?
