Throughout history, Christians have predicted Christ's return based on dramatic world events—from the Crusades to global pandemics. But when Jesus predicted the temple's destruction, He warned His disciples not to be deceived by wars, earthquakes, or false messiahs claiming "the time is at hand." Dr. John examines Luke 21:5-11, showing how Jesus calls us to steady confidence rather than anxious speculation about the end times.

The End of the Age: Our desire to see into the future is more than curiosity. We want to know what will happen so we can be prepared. If we know what the weather will be, what the stock market will do or how our job interview will turn out, we can adjust accordingly. In this 10-message series, Dr. John Neufeld teaches on Jesus' words and actions from Luke 21-22. Jesus points to the end of the age and describes what will be. While He doesn't answer our question of "When?", Jesus tells believers how to be ready. If we live as prepared people, the timing of Jesus' return will not catch us off guard.

Based on his new book The Life You Were Reborn to Live, Gary Thomas dismantles twelve key lies Christians believe that cripple their intimacy with God.

Election Day is more than a civic duty—it’s an opportunity to honor God with the choices we make at the ballot box. Deuteronomy 30:19 reminds us to “choose life,” aligning our decisions with God’s ways so that blessings flow to us and our communities.

By Lynette Kittle

Bible Reading:

As Christians, on Election Day, we can cast votes that please God, not by relying on our own reasoning or viewpoint, but by looking to God’s Word to see what votes align with His ways and principles.

As we seek to discover what votes will please Him, we can ask Him to lead us in voting at the ballot box for the candidates to be appointed that will serve and glorify Him and work and seek to accomplish His will on earth.

Some may think that God doesn’t care one way or the other who we vote for or if we even vote, but He does, calling on us to choose the candidates and laws that align with His teachings. It’s very clear in His Word. We have a responsibility to choose rulers and authorities who do wha
