Discerning the Times

We continue our Revelation series looking at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. 

It seems that everywhere you look today, people are unhinged. Why are so many so worked up in a frenzy over just about everything? We find the answer in the book of Revelation. It is because of the return of Jesus Christ.

President Trump has caused quite a stir by recently posting an A.I. generated image that appears to depict him as Jesus Christ healing a man. How should Trump supporters and Christians react to this?

When asked what would be the sign of His Second coming and the end of the age, Jesus stated that nation rising against nation would be one of the indicators. Are we seeing that fulfillment today? We will talk about this week on Discerning the Times.

We see what is happening in Iran as a U.S./Israel coalition has been carrying out Operation Epic Fury. Does the Bible have anything to say about this? We'll take a look this week by reviewing reports from Harbinger's Daily along with our measuring rod, the Bible. 

This week, we look at the topic of the demonic world and the fact that it is real. Is not a topic that makes us feel good, but we must acknowledge in order to overcome the forces of evil that oppress many. We will listen to a real life account of a face to face encounter with the demonic from Pastor Jack Hibbs along with exploring Biblical accounts. 

We are featuring this week a sermon preached at a recent CURE America event hosted by Donald T. Eason. This powerful message was delivered by Apostle Ellis L. Smith, pastor of Jubilee City Church in Detroit. In this fiery sermon, Apostle Smith calls believers to adopt a true biblical worldview amid intense spiritual and ideological warfare threatening America's soul. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 10:3–6, he explains how our weapons are mighty through God to pull down strongholds, cast down false arguments, and bring every thought captive to Christ. He exposes Christian compromises, like freemasons, fraternities, sororities, and yoga in the church. Apostle Smith challenges believers to think biblically about God, truth, justice, manhood, abortion, gender, and more—rejecting worldly lenses and renewing the mind with Scripture.We’ll listen to a portion of the sermon today, but a link to the full sermon is below if you would like to hear its entirety. I pray that the message will be a blessing.Full sermon: https://thecureamericapodcast.libsyn.com/apostle-ellis-l-smith

We began a series a few weeks ago where we looked at the different views of the Rapture. This week, we will conclude the series making the case that the Pre-Tribulation Rapture is the correct view. It is the event described in the Bible of Jesus removing His faithful followers from the earth spoken of in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, "Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord." When this occurs, millions of Christians will disappear from the earth.

We celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus with a study of Matthew 1:18-25 and Luke 2:8-20.

Artificial intelligence is here, and it is here to stay. But is it paving the way for Antichrist and his beast system?

Genesis 12:3 states, "I will bless those who bless you,And I will curse him who curses you;And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”What does it mean to bless Israel? Why bless Israel? Does it mean we should agree with everything the Israeli government does? Is Israel today the Israel of the Bible? We answer these questions and more in today's episode. 

Jesus stated in John 15:18, "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you." The world hates Charlie Kirk for the same reason that it will hate the two witnesses of the Tribulation and celebrate their deaths - because they all proclaim the truth of Jesus Christ. The world hated Jesus Christ first, therefore it will hate all of us who follow Him. 

Should Christians support the nation of Israel? We take a look this week at lies and propaganda that are designed to turn world opinion against Israel.

We welcome this week's special guest, Brittany Boone. She speaks on the bondage that comes from fraternities and sororities but shares the freedom that comes through Christ by sharing her testimony. Concerning her testimony, she states: I recently denounced from Alpha Kappa Alpha and I’m happy to share the truth with you that God shared with me. On March 13th God revealed some truth with me, he showed me how real heaven and hell is, mostly how real demons are. As a saved Christian I stood on the fact that God loved me and would never let anything harm me, but on March 13th I learned that as a saved Christian filled with the Holy Spirit I was bound, the devil had some strongholds on my life. God showed me I needed to step away from the sorority and He backed it up with His Word.

God’s Big Story of the Bible - Understanding the Basics

Continuing our series in the book of The Revelation – looking at the church at Laodicea of Revelation 3:14-22. The saying is, “save the best for last”.
