In Revelation 1:4 we begin what will be the lengthy introduction of the author of the faith, Jesus Christ Himself.

In the very first sentence of Revelation we see a summary of the book. It's the unveiling of our Lord in all His majesty and power.

Paul warned Timothy about false teachings that would permeate society before the return of Christ. Could these teachings be coming to your supper table?

Josiah stood against the darkness of his day. Believers today must understand that our faith will stand out as a conspicuous contrast to an apostate culture.

In Josiah's day the culture had turned against God, but he chose to stand against it and live for revival. We have the same choice before us today.

Recorded on 10/30/23, we are facing the landfall of Hurricane Idalia today. But an even greater storm is on the horizon for America. The storm of God's judgement may be headed our way.

After King Josiah died there were no more good kings to hold back God's righteous judgment. Can we hope for yet another revival in our land to delay the inevitable?

A great king died sooner than expected because he made a critically bad choice. Yes, you can shorten your days and short change those you love and serve from the blessings they could have received through you. Josiah was Judah's last remaining hope to avoid the judgement of God, and now he is gone.

The king has made a public commitment to the Lord. Will he follow through when the cost of this commitment is revealed?

Josiah responds to the message he received from God by calling a great convocation in Jerusalem. He reads the Word of God to the people, makes a personal commitment to God in front of the crowd, and begins the process of leading the whole nation to revival.

The prophetess, Huldah, has a two part message from the Lord for Josiah.

While repairing the Temple, Hilkiah discovers a great treasure. The book of Moses has been kept from the people, hidden in the neglected Temple. What will happen when King Josiah hears its contents?

Josiah gave orders to repair the Temple in Jerusalem that had been damaged and neglected. In this process we see how every task was organized for success, even the worshipping music that would provide inspiration for the workers.

In a growing number of cases around the world, Christians are being attacked and jailed for their faith. Featuring a Washington Times article by Billy Hallowell, we look at how the worldwide Beast kingdom silences Christian expression.

How would a child king respond to this challenge?

Josiah at age 16 begins to seek God in earnest. By the time he is 20 he's ready to make the hard decisions about national reformation.

Setting the stage for our look at King Josiah by looking at the heritage of his father and grandfather.

Judah has become a wicked shadow of its former greatness. As it spirals toward judgement, can a new leader come and turn it around? And, if revival was possible for Judah, could it be possible for the USA?

The wicked king has repented and found forgiveness in God. But will his kingdom follow his early or later ways? Are there lessons here for us?

When we celebrate the anniversary of the first Moon landing in July 1969, we don't usually think about this historic moment in baseball that happened within minutes.

Luke records the death of our Lord with His final cry. His death completes His mission and serves as an example for generations of believers.

Two thieves were executed with Jesus. But one of them changed his mind about Christ at Calvary and was promised new life by Jesus Himself.

Those who stood by watching Jesus suffer on the cross could not hold back their contempt as they made fun of the Savior. But even the sign posted above His head points past the cross to an unseen reality.
