There are very real dark forces at work in our world, all working together to destroy us. When Jesus returns, He will ultimately triumph over them all, but in the meantime, we're still living in the battle zone. Sometimes the battle is obvious, but other times it's very subtle and seductive.द्वारा Chris Ekins

God's judgement will be full and complete. And surprisingly, it will be a cause for celebration.द्वारा Chris Ekins

God, in His grace, continues to give humanity warning after warning after warning. The problem is - we aren't so good at taking warnings seriously. But John sees a vision of the consequences of those who heed the warnings and those who don't.द्वारा Dev Blair

Followers of Jesus have a foot in two realities: an earthly one and a redeemed one. Through John's vision, Jesus reminds his people to be wise as they navigate the first and to be assured of their salvation as they hold to the second.द्वारा Dev Blair

One of the reasons that the normal Christian life is like this is because the Devil hates your guts—big time. But come and check out the protection that God has for His people through all time.…

John gets a crazy glimpse into the throne room of God as Jesus lays down his life for humanity. It's the spiritual parallel of what's happening as the sacrificial Lamb dies in our place. Praise erupts in heaven - full of joy, full of hope! This chapter shapes everything about who we are and what we should be doing.…

Wealth and comfort are always a danger to the followers of Jesus. The Laodicean church had fallen into uselessness, which repulsed Jesus. He pointed out their problem but also offered them a solution. Join us as we check out the 7th letter to the churches - one that faced many of the same temptations we face.…

Jesus knows the temptation that faces every church. See how he responds to the ones Sardis and Philadelphia are going through. The command is not spiritually to cruise or corrupt our given righteousness; the commendation is for not compromising in the heat of opposition.द्वारा Dev Blair

Jesus loves His imperfect church and wants us to conquer (stay faithful to the end). Contending for sound doctrine and serving hard with our gifts is good, but beware of the danger of loving theology and doing good works more than loving Jesus Himself!द्वारा Chris Ekins

Nothing is new under the sun - that's part of what Ezra wants to show God's people in chapter 4. Opposition will always come to those trying to live God's way. As the Jewish people attempt to rebuild the temple, they have a decision to make - God's way or the easier way?द्वारा Dev Blair

Most of us would love to experience spiritual renewal. It begins with God rousing our spirits and changing our hearts so we have a desire to seek Him and power to live according to His purposes. It leads to sacrifice, obedience, service, celebration and lament. When we see Ezra 3 in light of the cross, we find out what that looks like for us today.…

God is Sovereign. He is the King of His own Universe and is gloriously unstoppable in fulfilling His own purposes. He fulfills every word and promise He speaks. He changes the hearts of people so they more fully align with His great purposes. Is this the God you worship? And have you gone all-in on His good purposes for you?…

Ever feel like life is a bit of a battle? Reading the Bible a battle? Finding time to pray a battle? Well, that's because it is. Literally. Not only do we struggle with our sinful nature, but spiritually, the believer is under constant attack from the Devil and his schemes. But God provides what every believer needs. Heck yeah!…

God is sovereign in salvation. He chooses who He will save. Jesus said: "You did not choose me, I chose you". Ephesians 1 says: "he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world...He predestined us to be adopted...we were predestined according to the plan of the one who works out everything in agreement with the purpose of his will". But this…

God determines our gender. He made us male and female and established order in the way we’re to relate to one another (based on his own nature and the way he created us). He wants us to embrace and express our gender in godly and honourable ways, without blurring the distinctions. What this looks like from culture to culture will vary, and has impl…
