The Narrow Gate

Jim Leffel

Matthew 7:13-23

Jesus presents the choice between the narrow gate and the wide gate. The wide gate represents itself as false prophets, spiritual deception, and misrepresenting God; all of which leads to destruction. But the narrow gate represents God's love and judgment and the gift of a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. Jesus says not many will find the narrow gate, but God is continuously pursuing us to lead us to His truth.

The Seven Trumpets

Dennis McCallum

Revelation 8:1-9:21

John's vision of the opening of the seals continues when the Lamb of God opens the seventh. Terrible disasters and wars occur, and demons are unleashed. Despite all of the evidence of God, people still do not turn to Him. John's vision is a warning of how living a life without God is always self-destructive and dangerous.

The Temple and the Two Witnesses

Scott Risley

Revelation 10:1-11:14

In the last days there will be a physical temple and two witnesses through which God will give a final plea to his creation as a whole to turn to him and receive forgiveness. These events are literal and we have current signs that could easily lead to the fulfillment of these prophecies.

God Seals His People

Scott Risley

Revelation 6:12-7:17

Before Christ returns to earth, there will be a seven year period of suffering called the Tribulation. Right before the suffering comes, God puts a seal of protection on his followers that are left after the rapture. God never breaks a promise and always takes care of his people.

Breaking the Seals

Scott Risley

Revelation 6:1-16

The first six seals have been broken. These are events of God's passive judgement on mankind that lead up to the tribulation and set the stage for the rise of the Antichrist. The first six seals include: 1) the Antichrist (the white horseman), 2) warfare (the red horseman), 3) famine and inflation (the black horseman), 4) more famine, disease, and wild beasts (the green horseman) 5) martyrs in heaven, 6) massive earthquake, sun blackened out, stars falling, mountains and islands rearranging.

God Claims His Own

Dennis McCallum

Daniel 9

John's vision now delves into a description of "The Great Tribulation". This is a period of time between the first and second coming of Christ, but specifically a seven-year period of trial near the end. This vision needs careful dissection to understand the symbolism behind this tribulation, the Abomination of Desolation, and the regathering of Israel. Daniel 9 is used as a reference to help aid this.

Final Judgment

Jeff Gordon

Revelation 20:11-15

John describes a scene where the Book of Life is opened, and the dead are judged by God. Anyone whose name did not appear in the Book of Life was thrown into the "lake of fire", which represents Hell. While considering different perspectives on Hell, Scripture is clear that Hell is eternal and a choice. God's wrath and goodness are questioned and explained, and Christians are encouraged to share the Gospel to help people make their own decision about how they want to spend eternity.

The Final Judgment

Gary DeLashmutt

Revelation 20:11-15

In John's vision of the final judgment, he sees that all those who are judged are condemned and sentenced to hell. Many raise objections to the idea of hell, but the Bible abundantly answers these. Contrary to the idea of many, living a good life is not what saves people but instead it is by receiving Christ's offer of forgiveness.

Who is Worthy?

Scott Risley

Revelation 4:1-6:2

The Great White Judgment sounds like a very scary time for people whose sins have not been covered by Christ's death. Why is God worthy to judge the entire human race? 1) God is all powerful, morally perfect, and eternal, 2) He has the right to do whatever He wants with His creation, 3) He is our savior; giving us an opportunity to be rescued from this judgment by His Son's substitutionary sacrifice on the cross.
