Fulfilled Prophecy a Proof of God and the Bible

The Bible speaks of a rest for the people of God. What is that rest? Have Christians already entered into the rest?

Have We Entered Our Rest?

In the popular conception of Hell, our merciful God sends billions of people who have never heard about Jesus Christ or His message to suffer unimaginable pain and torment in eternal fire. Is this what the Bible says really happens?

The Truth About Hell, Sermon by Rod Reynolds

People of various descriptions, shades of opinion and background have sought to predict the future, but are nearly always wrong. The Bible warns us about how not to go about trying to inquire into the future, and also how we may understand it.

How You Can Know the Future

God is extremely merciful and far more gracious than many people give Him credit for, and you can be a recipient of that grace. God is not looking for ways to destroy us; He wants to save us. Indeed, all of us are already recipients of God’s grace in more ways than we realize.

Seek God, Sermon by Rod Reynolds

Many people are stumbling along in spiritual darkness because they are either unaware of or have rejected the light that would show them the true path. In the world there is a deep enmity toward the law of God, however the reality is that this law is a blessing and will bring joy, liberty, and peace to you if you keep it.

Prophetic Significance of the Fall Festivals of God

What does it mean to keep the Passover? And which day did Jesus keep the Passover with his disciples on the night before his crucifixion. The answers will help clarify the truth concerning the question of when is the proper time to observe  the Passover from the Biblical perspective.

The Time of Jesus' Passover

How long was Jesus in the heart of the earth, that is, his place of burial? And when was he resurrected? Why did the persecutors of Jesus not want to enter the Praetorium? How do these questions relate to the time of the Passover?

Questions Regarding the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus

The pure of heart will see God (Matthew 5:8). But our hearts are by nature corrupted by the leaven of sin. How can you have a pure heart, so you can see God?

PurityOfHeart

To be a genuine disciple of Jesus Christ, rather than one in name only, requires abiding in his word. That's what Jesus Christ himself said. That means a real disciple of Christ, a real Christian, is one who abides in -- continues in, or lives according to -- the teachings of Christ. And one of the teachings of Christ is that we are to live "by every word of God."

Abide In God's Word

Is the law revealed in Scripture a curse, bondage, not relevant for a Christian because it's been replaced by Christ? Are the ten commandments outmoded  "Old Testament" law that can be safely ignored, as many believe? The Bible speaks of the commandments as the "law of liberty." Which is it? The law of liberty, or of slavery?

The_Law_of_Liberty

There are many Churches that claim to be Christian. The claim to be a Christian Church implies that its teachings are consistent with the teachings of Jesus Christ, and that Christ’s example is followed by the Church making the claim. How many Churches fit that description? How may you become part of the true Church?

The Bible foretells of a New Age to come, the evils of the present age a thing of the past. The Feast of Trumpets is, in its significance a portrayal of events that through God's intervention will usher in that new age.

Beginning A New Age

Many people assume that this is God's world, that God is fully in control, and that all that happens in the world is in accordance with God's will. But the reality of the situation is not quite that straightforward or simple. Whose world is it that we're living in? Is it really God's world?

In its prophetic significance the Feast of Atonement has to do not only with the removal of sin, but also the removal of the chief instigator of sin, the enemy of God and of mankind, Satan the devil.

Christians have both many reasons and an obligation to give thanks to God. All nations are called upon to acknowledge and be thankful to God, for He is the ultimate source of every blessing, but genuine Christians especially should "Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations" (Psalm 100:4-5).
