Paul the apostle makes his case in Romans chapter 11, that God intends to keep all his promises to national Israel. Former covenants and promises are not broken; they remain in effect. This video takes us through Romans 11:11-15 where Paul argues that Israel did not fall.

This video play, recounts the time when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead four days after his entombment. In Jesus' own words, this sickness would not ultimately lead to the death of Lazarus, but he was allowed to die and remain in the tomb for four days “so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.” Before raising Lazarus from the dead, Jesus thanks the Father out loud so that those who witnessed this miracle might believe that God himself sent Jesus into the world. One day, many others will rise at the command of Jesus to “come forth!” Biblical Philosophers http://biblicalphilosophers.com/ Audio Files Gutenberg College http://msc.gutenberg.edu/audio/ Doug Hooley Ministries https://www.doughooley.com/ Bible Gateway online https://www.biblegateway.com/ Stock Photos from Pexels https://www.pexels.com/ Martha’s Witness of Christ FEBRUARY 18, 2015 by SANDYART2015 https://sandyfreckletongagonartblog.wordpress.com/2015/02/18/marthas-testimony-of-christ/ By Léon Bonnat - http://www.histoire-image.com/site/oeuvre/analyse.php?liste_analyse=299, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=2188480 By Carl Bloch - http://www.familyartusa.com/site/253614/page/917008, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=7864384 By James Tissot - Online Collection of Brooklyn Museum; Photo: Brooklyn Museum, 2006, 00.159.149_PS1.jpg, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=10196001 By James Tissot - Online Collection of Brooklyn Museum; Photo: Brooklyn Museum, 2007, 00.159.129_PS2.jpg, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=10957411 By James Tissot - Online Collection of Brooklyn Museum; Photo: Brooklyn Museum, 2007, 00.159.182_PS2.jpg, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=10904518 By James Tissot - Online Collection of Brooklyn Museum; Photo: Brooklyn Museum, 2007, 00.159.165_PS2.jpg, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=10904474 By Heinrich Hofmann - Self-scanned by User:JGHowes from 1945 print published by the Board of Trustees, Riverside Church, New York, NY, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=4140919 By Félix Bonfils - This is available from National Photo Collection of Israel, Photography dept.

Good Friday is a Christian Holiday commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus and his death at Calvary. Some question the traditional view that Jesus was crucified on a Friday. For your consideration we make the case for Wednesday as the day Jesus was crucified. This video is an edited version of my very first video entitled "Was Jesus crucified on Friday?" I hope you like this version.

Today's guest is Ron Julian, teaching from Paul's first epistle to the Thessalonians 5:1-11. He explains Paul's understanding regarding the times and the seasons. In Paul's first letter to the Thessalonian Church, he teaches that those in Christ will be "caught up together" to meet the Lord in the air. Before this incident happens, there will come a series of events that lead up to that moment including the apostasy and the short reign of the Antichrist. In the next chapter, Paul will offer his encouragement to who want to know what to do in order to prepare for the coming day of the Lord.

The second episode in our three-part series entitled, “Noah and Lot – a Retrospective” where we continue our look at Luke 17. Jesus instructs his disciples concerning a time period he calls, "the days of the son of man."

We begin a three-part series exploring Luke chapter 17 where Jesus challenges us to expand our thinking with regard to the kingdom of God, and the "son of man" days. In this first episode of “Noah and Lot – a Retrospective” we are going to briefly look at the middle half of Luke chapter 17 where the Pharisees questioned him as to when the kingdom of God was coming.

The Gospel told in one word. "So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late." Bob Dylan.

We take a look at the rapture doctrine to update our understanding of what might happen soon. Many people have heard about the the aerial gathering of the church described in Paul's first letter to the Thessalonian church, which is an event when all Christian believers who are alive, along with resurrected believers, will rise in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Will believers go through the tribulation or avoid it at the rapture of the church?

Jesus foretold events concerning the kingdom of God in light of his imminent death on the cross and his ascension to the father. This video gives an overview of Luke's version of the Olivet Discourse. The disciples were especially anxious to hear what Jesus had to say since earlier that day Jesus made an unexpected and paradigm shattering statement.

The beautiful nativity scene on our postcards, with its snow flakes, and blowing winds doesn't match the nativity scene as recorded in the New Testament. This discrepancy leads us to ask the question. Is the winter time really the nativity season? When was Jesus actually born?

In this video we take a pilgrim's journey through Daniel's prophecy of the Seventy Weeks, returning to this sacred place for spiritual reasons. By all rights, God could have sent his people into exile the instant Israel reached the final milestone marker of the Seventy Weeks. But he didn't. He waited. Once again he proves that he is slow to anger, and slow to judgment. God is reserved, restrained, and reticent to judge.
