We hear these terms- “intercessor” or “interceding”, but what do they really mean? Join us as we take a tour through the OT intercessors and answer the all-important question: Who intercedes for us now?

Are you free from worry? If you didn’t have to worry about earthly things, what would you do? Find the command, promise, and purpose that we are given both individually and as part of God’s Kingdom!

“One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek…” What is that one thing for you? Wisdom? Comfort? Stability? David’s answer would be God Himself!  We find that 3 actions are associated with how David seeks God: Dwelling, Gazing, and Inquiring. In the second message of Thrive’s series “Seek First”, we dive into the heart of David’s desire for God, as found in Psalm 27.

"Seek, and you will find." "If you seek me, you will find me." "It is time to seek the Lord." The theme of seeking God is found throughout the Scripture, and with it, a promise: if you seek God, you will find Him. As the church, how do we make good on this promise? How do we take it seriously? And what does it really mean to "find" God if God is everywhere? These questions and more are the subject of Thrive's June series, "Seek First."

Scripture passages cited (or alluded to) in this message include Matthew 7:7-11; 1 Samuel 10:2; 26:2; 1 Kings 18:10; 22:43; Psalm 22:26; 27:8; 40:16; 63:1; 70:4; 77:2; 105:3-4; 119:58; 139:7-10; Chronicles 14:2; 15; 22:9; 34:3, 33; Colossians 3:1; Hebrews 11:6; John 1:38; 20:15; Jeremiah 23:24; Acts 17:27; Isaiah 6:1-5; Job 42:5-6; and Hosea 10:12.

What's the point of all the signs? How should the end of the world change how we live now? In the second half of Jesus' Olivet Discourse, He calls His followers to live faithfully as they watch for His coming.

This message was given by Tim Cedarland, Thrive's director emeritus.

On the Mount of Olives, Jesus gave one of his most famous speeches, the "Olivet Discourse." In it, Jesus explains how his followers can know that the end is near and what steps they should take to respond.

Spanning two chapters, the final and longest prophecy in Daniel surveys what will happen to the Jewish people under the Persians and the Greeks, before abruptly skipping ahead to the end of the world. Why the jump? Because once again, Daniel is learning that earlier periods of history foreshadow later ones—in this case, the rule of the Antichrist just prior to Christ’s return.

Scripture passages cited in this message include Daniel 8:19; 9:26; and 11-12.

Dean Kershner, a field director for Gospelink, has served Christ around the globe. He joins Thrive to share a special message about heeding the call of Christ to go into all the world with the good news of the gospel.

The second half of Daniel is filled with vivid predictions of the end times. But it’s not just the predictions that are vivid—it’s the way they’re delivered! Daniel’s final prophecy is conveyed to him by an awe-inspiring figure, who reveals to him an invisible world of good and evil spiritual beings. For this reason, Daniel 10 provides one of the clearest glimpses of the unseen realm that lies behind our material world.

This message was given by Alan Jones, pastor of Firebrand Church in Port Orchard, WA. Scripture passages cited (or alluded to) in this message include Daniel 7:14; 10; 1 Corinthians 15:24; 2 Corinthians 4:3-4; Deuteronomy 32:8; Genesis 3; Job 1; Genesis 6:1-4; Zechariah 3; 2 Peter 2:4; Revelation 12; 20; Isaiah 14; Ezekiel 28; Ephesians 6:12; Ps 82; 1, 6-8; 89:5-7; and 1 Chronicles 12:32.

So far Daniel has learned that before God restores Israel’s kingdom, they will be ruled over by a succession of Gentile empires, culminating with a final end-times ruler called the Antichrist. But how long will this period last? In Daniel 9, God reveals to Daniel a 490-year timeline for Israel’s restoration. That timeline includes the destruction of the Antichrist—and most importantly, the coming of an “Anointed One” who will die and rise again.
