Does God care when we suffer? When we face difficulty, we often find ourselves questioning God’s intentions and presence within us. Jeremiah voiced these feelings with great clarity in the book of Lamentations. As he wrestled with the purpose of his suffering, he shared the comforting answer about our promise-keeping God and His faithfulness to us. In part 3 of our 4-part series of Divine Portraits of God, Chris teaches us to see God’s goodness even in our most troubled times, a comforting encouragement for all of us as we navigate the trials of this life!

It’s easy to see God’s character in beauty—in a sunset, a mountaintop, or even an act of selfless love. It might not seem so easy to see His goodness in His judgment. One of His most memorable acts of punishment was in the 10 plagues He inflicted on the Egyptians for enslaving His Chosen People. Yet even as He poured out His wrath, we can see how He demonstrated He is the one true God and the Protector of Israel. Part 2 of our Divine Portraits of God series will open your eyes to God’s glory even in the punishment of plagues!

God is so amazing that we can’t fully behold His glory ourselves. Yet each of us carry a unique perspective that helps us to understand and relate to Him differently. Over the next few weeks we’ll study a number of perspectives from Scripture that reveal God’s character in diverse, beautiful ways. We begin with creation—an obvious instance of God’s handiwork, but one that shows who He has been since the beginning of time while simultaneously shaping our walk with Him today. Hear why God’s creation of the world at the beginning of time should matter to you today!

A title deed proves ownership of an important possession. Many of us hold the deed to something valuable such as our house or car. God owns a title deed too. And what could be so important that Scripture would reference His title deed to it? The Friends of Israel Church Ministries Representative Tom Simcox shares the answer in his interview with Chris about Tom’s Israel My Glory article “Unsealing the Title Deed.” Explore with us as Tom teaches about the mysterious scroll with seven seals in the book of Revelation —and the only One with the authority to open it!

Sin nature has corrupted all of humanity—except for one Person: Jesus Christ. Being fully God and fully man, Jesus could take on human flesh without sinning. That’s why the term Son of Man, literally meaning “human being,” can rightfully describe the Lord Jesus. As we wrap up our 3-part series on this name, you’ll find new meaning in the name when you read it in Scripture, anticipating the day when we will see the only human who could ever ride on the clouds and approach God the Father face to face.

The world is consumed by the chase for power. People pursue it for many reasons—prestige, privilege, dominance, riches. Yet Jesus taught a completely different way to think of power. And how we understand His teaching of power helps us understand why He is called not only “King” and “Lord” but also a name as lowly as “Son of Man.” Discover in part 2 of our 3-part series on the Son of Man how Jesus taught His disciples to follow in His example of service and sacrifice!

Which of the many names of Jesus is your favorite? King of Kings? Messiah? High Priest? This week you’re encouraged to consider one you may have heard many times without knowing its significance: Son of Man. Despite the name’s lowly roots, it’s used to describe our majestic Lord and Savior, Jesus. Found in different contexts in the Old and New Testaments, this title ultimately gives us a valuable perspective of Jesus through Peter’s eyes. Tune in next week for parts 2 and 3 of our series on the Son of Man!

Rapture—the word that excites and energizes many Christians while frightening others. However it makes you feel, it’s an incredible biblical truth that we need to understand! Chris teaches from Scripture to make the Rapture more accessible to you in this program. He provides eye-opening context from 1 Thessalonians and Greek culture to exhort you with one of God’s greatest promises for believers. Find refreshment in this honest and hope-filled analysis of God’s promise to meet us in the air!

Can Christians lose their salvation? We're covering eternal security this week. The Bible says when we become believers in Jesus the Messiah we become a new creation. But can God's free gift of salvation be taken away? Is it a conditional gift? Chris will take us to God’s Word to see how eternal security is not up to us, but God.

We see throughout the Bible that the Temple is very important to the Jewish people. It wasn't the building that was important, however; it was who was in the Temple. This week we will learn about the history of the rebuilding of the Temple and the third Temple to come. As a believer in Christ, you’ll also learn about the temple we should be looking for, one from which our Savior will reign!
