You Can Trust God

You Can Trust God Romans 4:16-21 16 For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace; to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all 17 (as it is written, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, even God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were. 18 …

“Broken people . . .

“Broken people . . . We are all broken people in need of a Healer. Cracked pieces of clay, vessels with holes that leak, desperately trying to stop the hemorrhaging. Creating our own man-made dams to divert a flood that could sweep us away at any moment. Very few see–see our lives as it truly is. If only they knew–divorce, affairs, depression, grief, loneliness, addiction, abuse, hopelessness, sickness, financial struggles. We trade ourselves in for plastic smiles and performances that fool even ourselves. With well meaning hearts we somehow strive to measure up, clean up and create an image of …

Rapture/Rapio/Harpazo

“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

Therefore comfort one another with these words.” – 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 In the passage above, Paul spells out the chronological sequence of the Rapture in seven stages. First, “the Lord Himself will descend from heaven.” At …

The Simple Gospel

The Simple Gospel What is the gospel? — what is the true good news of God? The good news is wrapped up in a PERSON – a Person, Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The good news is that God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to do for human beings what human beings could not do for themselves. And what was that? God sent Christ to deliver us all from sin through His death on the Cross, and He sent Christ to usher in a new creation through His resurrection. He sent Christ to die and be raised so that …

Worthy is the Lamb

Worthy is the Lamb Pete Garcia Ever notice how much the world hates the Jesus Christ of the Bible? Mention His name outside the confines of a Bible preaching church, and you will definitely get a reaction. (You might even get sued or arrested!) Truly, He is the most polarizing person to have ever lived here on planet Earth. There simply is no neutral ground in regards to your position of Him. One either accepts that He is God come in the flesh, or He is not. Now, people don’t mind so much the Jesus they conjure up for themselves, …

42 – God’s Wrath & Divine Forgiveness

Jesus now speaks in heaven, by appearing in the presence of God for his people, and by presenting his blood, righteousness, and sacrifice. He speaks by His Spirit, in and to the hearts of His saints; and by his ministers in the Gospel. It is clear that He should not be refused. He is though when His Gospel is made light of, and neglected; or when men make excuses for when they will not hear it. When they do, most contradict, and blaspheme, and despise it. The simple truth is that God offers salvation to this world. Without accepting this …

Characteristics of the End-Times – by Hal Lindsey

Characteristics of the End-Times – by Hal Lindsey People sometimes wonder why I bother to talk about the dangers of Islam. They say, “Why not just present the positive aspects of the Gospel?” They forget that Jesus Himself warned of dangerous belief systems. And He called them by name! As a minister of the Gospel, it is my duty to show that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is not just another “religion.” It is the very truth of God! Sometimes that can best be accomplished by revealing the danger of purely human, even demonic, belief systems that claim to compete …
