In Revelation 11 we read about two witnesses that will proclaim the Gospel of Jesus for three and a half years during this time. Who are they and what will happen to them?

Jesus has always been a controversial person. We see this today in our own world, but we also see it in Jesus' day as well. Jesus calls us to count the cost and to follow Him.

John sees the sixth angel sound the trumpet and the people of the world still did not repent of their wickedness. John was about to write down what the seven thunders said, when God said "enough is enough. The end of the world will come." What does this all mean? What should our response be as believers in Jesus?

When the fifth trumpet sounds, what happens with this plague of locust. What happens to the believers that are still on the earth?

What does Jesus' family think about Him and what He is doing? John explains in chapter 7 that unlike the 12 disciples who testified that they believe in Jesus, Jesus' brothers do not believe in Him. But something changes their mind about Jesus eventually. What was that convincing evidence? Will that convince you that Jesus truly is the Son of God, the Savior of the world?

Why is the resurrection of Jesus so important? Can we know that Jesus rose from the dead for certain? The answer is yes. 1 Corinthians 15 is a wonderful chapter that not only explains the evidence of the resurrection of Jesus, but also explains why the resurrection of Jesus is so important. He has risen! He has risen indeed!

When Jesus died, what happened? Matthew 27:45-56 explains two significant results of Jesus' death.

Revelation 8, we see the Lamb breaks the seventh seal and seven angels are given seven trumpets to announce the next phase of God's judgment upon the earth. Why does God do this and what happens to the believers who are still upon this earth?

Jesus finishes His teaching to the crowd about how He is the bread of life who has come down from heaven, but many of His disciples begin to leave and walk away from Jesus because of this hard teaching. The twelve disciples choose to stay. What's our choice? When it is hard to be a follow of Jesus, do we leave or have we chosen to follow Him because we have seen and believed that Jesus is the only one that will satisfies our life?

As Jesus finishes His discussion with the crowd who wanted a free meal from Him, He explains that He is the bread of life. That the ones who eat His flesh and drink His blood will never go hungry or thirsty again. How are we to take these words of Jesus? Does He really mean His flesh and blood?

As we look further at Revelation 7, we see this huge crowd from every tribe and nation in heaven. Who are these individuals and where do they come from? What is meant when it says "the great tribulation" in Revelation 7:14? Join us as we clarify the 144,000 on earth and the crowd in heaven.

Thinking about Revelation 6 where are we in the breaking of the seals? As we turn towards Revelation 7 who are the 144,000 people that God seals? Listen as we tackle some of the major issues that Revelation 6 and 7 present to us.

The crowds seek Jesus the next day, but Jesus knows the real reason why they are seeking Him, to get free food. Jesus tells them to eat the eternal bread that brings eternal life. What are we seeking? A person once said that every person has a God shape hole or void in our lives and only God can fill that void. But we try to fill that void with things that will never satisfy us. What or who are we seeking to fill that void in our lives?

We have seen John's vision of God upon His throne, of the Lamb who is the only one worthy to take and open the scroll. The Lamb then begins to break the seven seals of the scroll and with each seal something happens either on the earth or in heaven. When will all this take place?

Jesus uses a child's meal to feed 7,000 - 10,000 people. This is an incredible miracle that many of us are so familiar with. But why does Jesus first ask His disciples how to feed all these people? It was to put them to a test, to show them what their faith in God looks like after spending the past year with Jesus. How did they do? Did they pass or fail the test? How are you doing with the tests in your life? Are you trusting in God alone to do the impossible?

After John sees his vision of God the Father on the throne, the vision continues and he see a Lamb that has been slaughtered. This Lamb is the only person in heaven, on the earth, and under the earth that is worthy to take a scroll and to open it. Why? What is so special about this Lamb and who is the identity of this Lamb?

Jesus begins to address the religious teachers abjection of Jesus being equal to God the Father. Jesus says," if you really want to know who I am, then don't take my word, listen to five witnesses that testify about my true identity." As you enter into this "court room", look at the evidence of the witnesses and answer the question: "Is Jesus really who He said He was: the Son of God, who is equal to God the Father?"

John is called up into heaven and sees the throne of God with the twenty-four elders and the four living beings. As John sees these things, how is he suppose to describe these things and what does this all mean? Join us as we tackle these issues.

Jesus healed a man on the Sabbath day and the religious leaders asked Him how He is able to do this. Jesus responds by saying that He is following the Father. Who are we following in our lives? Are we following Jesus and becoming more like Him?

Why is there pain and suffering in our lives? Sometimes it is because we live in a sinful, fallen world. Other times it is because of our own sinful choices we make. In John 5, the man who had a physical problem had suffered with this infirmity for 38 years because of his rebellion against God. But Jesus heals him and tells him to sin no more. Jesus tells believers to do the same. Jesus has healed our broken hearts and tells us to walk in obedience to Him, to go and sin no more.
