Paul’s superb exhortation, ‘be anxious for nothing’ is a loaded statement, and followers of Jesus—His church—can’t afford to ignore it. When Christians do—the outcome plays right into the Enemy’s plans…

If we admit it, it’s easy being a Christian in America. We go to church, sing the songs, listen to the preacher, talk of love—then go back to real life. It’s all good—but it doesn’t much resemble the Christians or the church in the Bible—because, for most of Christian America, genuine Christian love cramps our … Continue reading ‘Love Will Cramp Your Style’ (Acts 2:42; 1 Cor. 13) →

Pastor Jeremy brings us Zechariah’s grand finale—and the Millennial reign of Jesus. Exciting times ahead…!

Pastor Jeremy continues his excellent study in the Minor Prophets—this week: Zechariah reveals the coming of the Messiah—both first and second times—and both times, His people weren’t—and won’t be ready for it…

The Prophet Zechariah begins to reveal ancient Israel’s coming Messiah in Pastor Jeremy’s latest study through the Minor Prophets. Enjoy.

Paul told the Philippians he wanted to know ‘the fellowship of sharing in Christ’s sufferings.'

It's here that Paul declares the great and seemingly crazy yearning of Christians—one that's been horrendously misunderstood for centuries…

A literal Resurrection of the Dead was taught throughout the Bible—especially by Jesus and Paul.

A powerful provocation to remember where we're going…

Jay’s latest update on the current Middle East war—and the next one…! (June 22, 2025)

The finish line of Paul's entire life—that for which he sacrificed everything—country, kindred, credentials, honor, comfort, liberty and life itself—was that he might know Christ. This was the death knell of religion and ‘churchianity’; of self-centeredness and pride. It’s why we are Christians…

Straight out of today’s headlines, Zephaniah prophesies where Israel’s future is going—a true revelation of God’s mind and heart…
