Should Christians Choose Cremation?
In this teaching, we will search for Biblical answers to a question many people are asking but few are willing to discuss: should Christians choose cremation as a method of dealing with the physical body of their dearly departed?
Does it really matter which option we choose if God is going to resurrect the body anyways? Doesn't the Bible teach that we are "ashes to ashes and dust to dust" as is so often quoted? Is there a method that best honors God, exalts Christ, and proclaims the Gospel and biblical hope?
Tune in for answers and Biblical truth in today's teaching!
Maranatha!

Puzzled About Revelation, Part 75: The Final Rebellion (Rev. 20:7-10)
In this teaching, we will look at the final satanic assault against the people of God at the end of the thousand years (Millennium) and the punishment of the devil in the lake of fire.
Is this the same event as the Ezekiel 38-39 war? When will this occur? Why does interpretation matter?
We will deal with these questions and several erroneous views that place these events in the past or allegorize them (Preterism, Amillennialism), allowing Scripture to interpret Scripture.
Maranatha!

Puzzled About Revelation, Part 74: The Millennial Kingdom, Part 2
In this teaching, we will look at the centrality of Israel and Jerusalem in the Kingdom of God. In light of the ongoing Anti-Zionist, anti-Semitic, BDS movements (all of which are a satanic counterfeit), we have the wonderful promises and prophecies of Scripture that Jerusalem will be the praise of all the earth in the coming millennial Kingdom!

Signs, Seasons, and the April 8th Solar Eclipse
In this teaching, I hope to avoid both extremes of sensationalism and scoffing as we look to God's Word and what the Holy Spirit is saying to the churches.
What's the big deal with this upcoming solar eclipse on April 8th? Is the timing and convergence of events on a cosmic & global scale a sign that we should be paying attention to?
And what should our response be to these things? May God grant us wisdom andd faith to see what He is doing in this prophetic hour!
Maranatha!

Puzzled About Revelation, Part 72: The Thousand-Year Sabbath (Millennium) (Rev. 20:1-10)
In this teaching, we will look at the "thousand years" mentioned in Revelation 20 and some of the confusion and controversy surrounding it.
Are these to be a literal thousand years? Or is it figurative? What about terms like Premillennial, Postmillennial, Amillennial? What do they mean and which one is correct? Furthermore, does it really matter?
We will deal with all of these questions, why it matters for faith and discipleship, and answer the question: How CLOSE are we? How NOW shall we live?
Maranatha!

Puzzled About Revelation, Part 71: The First Resurrection (Rev. 20:4-6)
In this series of teachings from Revelation 20, we will discuss questions people have regarding the Second Coming of Christ, the Resurrection-Rapture, and the Millennial Kingdom.
We will also discuss how the theological teachings of Preterism, Amillennialism, Postmillennialism, and Dispensationalism ("Pre-Trib Rapture") are all distortions of biblical truth and destructive heresies which the saints need to avoid at all costs!
In this video we will discuss the FIRST RESURRECTION as John saw it in his visions of the coming of Christ and the end of the age.
When will this occur? Has it already occurred, as some teach? Will it be a literal, physical, future resurrection of the dead or a spiritual resurrection of believers?
What we believe about these things has a profound impact upon the Gospel of Jesus Christ, biblical hope, and the perseverance of the saints to the end of the age!

"All Israel Shall Be Saved": Part 8: The Fullness of the Gentiles (Rom. 11:25-36)
Please join me on Sunday evenings for this timely teaching series on Israel from Romans 9-11 as we discover biblical answers to questions people have:
Who is Israel?
Has the Church "replaced" Israel in the plans and purposes of God?
Why did the majority of Israel reject her Messiah?
Did God forever reject His people?
How and when will "all Israel" be saved?
In Part 8, we will conclude this teaching series by looking at how the "mystery" of Israel's salvation is directly connected to what Paul called the "fullness of the Gentiles". What did Paul mean by that statement, and when will this occur?
This is foundational stuff! How we understand the sovereignty and purposes of God will affect how we understand the issue of Israel at the end of the age.

"All Israel Shall Be Saved": Part 7: The Olive Tree (Rom. 11:16-24)
Please join me on Sunday evenings for this timely teaching series on Israel from Romans 9-11.
In Part 7, using the illustration of an olive tree, the Apostle Paul will help us discover biblical answers to questions people have, such as:
Who is Israel?
Has the Church "replaced" Israel in the plans and purposes of God?
Why did the majority of Israel reject her Messiah?
Did God forever reject His people?
How and when will "all Israel" be saved?
We will also discuss three prominent theologies that the majority of the Church is following today--Replacement (Reformed) Theology, Dispensational Theology, and Hebrew Roots (Messianic Judaism).
Romans 11 is one of the most important chapters in the New Testament to understanding God's unfolding plan of salvation for both Jew and Gentile.
This is foundational stuff! How we understand the sovereignty and purposes of God will affect how we understand the issue of Israel at the end of the age.

Puzzled About Revelation, Part 69: The Bridegroom of Blood (Rev. 19:10-21)
When you think of a wedding, what comes to mind? A bride dressed beautifully for her husband? A bridegroom dressed handsomely for his bride? A great feast of fine foods? A beautiful location?
What about a wedding taking place in a warzone? A bridegroom dressed in blood-stained clothing? Or birds of prey feasting on the flesh of the slain? This doesn't sound like any wedding you may have witnessed before, but this is the picture the Scriptures paint of the coming "Bridegroom of Blood" to deliver His Bride and defeat His enemies at the Great Supper of God!
As always, we will search the Scriptures for the answers to this much-longed for event by the saints of God! Maranatha!

When and where will this occur? Who is invited? Who is excluded? And how will the Bride be made ready for her Bridegroom?
As always, we will search the Scriptures for the answers to this much-longed for event by the saints of God!

"All Israel Shall Be Saved": Part 6: The Fullness of Israel (Rom. 11:1-15)
In Part 6: If Romans 9 illustrates the sovereignty of God over individuals and nations, and Romans 10 explains how Israel's hardness of heart and unbelief caused them to reject the message and their Messiah, the next logical question is: has God fully and finally REJECTED His people Israel to focus on the Gentiles, as some claim?
Absolutely not! In Romans 11, the Apostle Paul sets out to show from the Scriptures how this was God's plan from the beginning to save a "remnant" of Israel, yet at the same time "all Israel shall be saved" because man's unbelief cannot stop the power and promises of Almighty God!
Romans 11 is one of the most important chapters in the New Testament to understanding God's unfolding plan of salvation for both Jew and Gentile. This is foundational stuff! How we understand the sovereignty and purposes of God will affect how we understand the issue of Israel at the end of the age.

Puzzled About Revelation, Part 67: The City of Blood & The Last Jihad (Rev. 17-18)

As always, we will search the Scriptures for clarity, Biblical wisdom, courage & hope on this very urgent and sobering reality. This is something the saints need to take to heart, for the time is at hand and quickly approaching!

"All Israel Shall Be Saved": Part 4: "The Remnant" (Rom. 9:27-29; 11:1-6)
Please join me on Sunday evenings for this timely teaching series on Israel from Romans 9-11.
We will seek biblical answers to questions people have, such as:
Who is Israel?
Has the Church "replaced" Israel in the plans and purposes of God?
Why did the majority of Israel reject her Messiah?
Did God forever reject His people?
How and when will "all Israel" be saved?
In Part 4: God promised to give Abraham descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven and the sand on the seashore, but Paul says that "only the remnant will be saved" (9:27). Did God lie? Did He change His mind? And did Paul contradict himself when later he says that "all Israel will be saved" (11:26)? What are we to make of this? What is God's plan for His people at the end of the age as revealed in the Scriptures?
This is foundational stuff! How we understand the sovereignty and purposes of God will affect how we understand the issue of Israel at the end of the age.
