Two End Times Battles in Satan’s War

We will press on. As uncomfortable and bleak as this teaching is, we must press on. Eventually, we will get past these wrath-filled chapters and reach the fulfillment of God's gracious promises. It will be worth all the depressive truth-digging we have been doing and all the gospel sharing we have been doing in these days. We will get to that glorious part, but for now, we press on. We need to be correcting and challenging eac...

The Stoppage, the Sealed, the Sheep, and the Seventh Seal
Revelation 7:1-8:5
We've been studying the book of Revelation and have now come to the end of the seal judgments. But before the seventh seal is opened, there is a hiatus in action. This pause is one of three intervals that take place between the opening of the fifth seal and the first of the bowl judgements. In this interval, there is an angelic scene on Earth. God seals...
The seven seal judgments in Revelation are no joke. From pet attacks to slashing murderers, to disappearing islands, it is hard to hear the truth about the first part of God's judgment in the book of Revelation. It would be best to be saved from the wrath of God before the rapture.

Romans 8:28, Eph. 5:26-27, Phil. 1:6
I heard a reporter say the theories around Charlie Kirk's death are insane. You have to admit, they are a little incredible and wild, but I wouldn't say they are insane. Most of them are improbable, but not stuck in the realm of the impossible. And for the church, in light of end-times prophecies that we have been studying, there is one touted theory of this murder that is havin...

End times prophecy can be scary and confusing. It's unnerving to consider the social, physical, and spiritual turmoil that will occur during that time. It is also uncomfortable for most churches and Christians to discuss spirit realm events and beings. However, we cannot understand the end times prophecies without getting into the uncomfortable and often ignored passages of the Bible. This podcast episode is the introductory ...

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
