Introduction to the Book of Revelation

As we embark upon a study of the Book of Revelation verse-by-verse, today's episode will give us a general overview that should prove helpful.   We will look at issues such as the title, authorship, place of writing, time of writing, major theme, and much more.   Join us today with an open Bible and please join us as we study this amazing prophetic Book of the Bible! 

Revelation 1:1-8 ”The Prologue”

In today's episode we take a look at the Prologue to the book of Revelation.   It contains the title of the Book, the method by which it was communicated, the recipients of the Book, and the major theme of the Book.    We also learn there is a blessing for the one who reads the prophecy and those that hear and heed its message. 

Matthew 24:23-31 ”The Gathering of the Elect”

We continue in the Olivet Discourse today in Matthew 24.   Jesus now takes us to the end of the Tribulation period and discusses the final sign to appear.  He also makes another mention of the mass deception that will take place during that time period.  There will be a "signs and wonders" movement on Planet Earth led by the Dragon, the Beast and the False Prophet.  The Word of God is our safeguard against any and all forms of deception. 

Matthew 24:15-22 ”The Abomination of Desolation and Israel’s Flight”

In our continuing study of the Olivet Discourse, today we get to the midpoint of the Tribulation.  Jesus points the Apostles to the key sign of the end which was predicted by the prophet Daniel.  When they see the "Abomination of Desolation" they are to flee immediately.   The second half of the Tribulation will prove to be devastating to the Jewish people alive during that time.  Join us as we go verse by verse through the passage. 

The Beginning of Birth Pains (Matt 24:4-14)

Today, we discuss some of the events of the first half of the Tribulation. A careful examination of this passage will show that the events of Matthew 24:4-14 are yet future and parallel the seal judgments of Revelation 6. Matthew does not go into detail about the 70 AD destruction of Jerusalem and the temple. He does however talk about the events that will usher in the Kingdom (Abomination of Desolation, etc.). What are the "birth pains"? What is the Gospel of the Kingdom? These are questions we will attempt to answer in this message.

The Olivet Discourse (Part I) - Matthew 23:37-24:3

In today's episode, we take a fresh look at the Olivet Discourse.  Many mistakenly assume that Jesus is addressing Church Age believers in Matthew 24-25.  What we will attempt to show is that the Church isn't even under consideration here.  Matthew is explaining the postponement of the Kingdom and the circumstances by which it will come. 

”What Made America Great”

This is the sermon audio from our 2022 Veteran's Day service.  We paid tribute to the veterans from the various branches of our military.  Pastor preached a sermon on the principles that made America great.  Credit to pastor Andy Woods for the outline and quotes from founding fathers.  

2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 ”YOU are loved by God!”

After correcting the false teaching the Thessalonian believers had received, Paul turns to comfort them.  He reminds them that they are loved by God.   They have been chosen, sanctified by the Spirit, and are destined for glory!  These are reminders that we all need when we are shaken by distressing news and fiery trials! 

2 Thessalonians 2: ”The Mystery of Iniquity”

The new believers in Thessalonica had received a disturbing report stating that they had missed the Rapture (catching away of I Thess 4) and were in the "Day of the LORD" (the Tribulation period).  Paul writes to them to allay their fears.  He states there is something (rather someOne) who is restraining the antichrist from being revealed.   Join us with an open bible as we see just what that's all about. 

I Thessalonians 5: A Thief In The Night?

In the final chapter of Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians, he addresses concerns and questions they have about the "Day of the LORD".   This term is found in the Old Testament numerous times and is always referring to the period of darkness the NT refers to as the Tribulation period.   Paul assures these believers that they don't need to worry about the Day of the LORD because they have not been appointed to wrath.
