The last part of this series (which was not originally intended to be a series) focuses on the intentional structure of Revelation 20 and goes verse by verse. It addresses questions like Why the chapter is structured as it is Why Gog and Magog are mentioned Why the dragon is cast into the lake of fire after the beast & false prophet Many other things! The only shortcoming is that each part of this series was given with multiple weeks in between each, and with a deep subject l

Part 1 of this short series considered how Scripture indicates that the dragon of Revelation 20 is cast into the lake of fire toward the beginning of Christ's reign (specifically marking the end of Christ's Davidic phase and beginning the Solomonic phase), but I did not have time to delve into what Revelation 20 is about. Part 2 carries the conclusion of Part 1 further and offers an understanding of the binding period of Rev. 20:1-3 and the loosing in Rev. 20:7-8. I've be

At what point in Christ's reign is the dragon of Revelation 20 cast into the lake of fire? The book of Joshua has a shadow-fulfillment and gives us a clear answer (along with a few other OT passages). I realize that this subject can be sensitive with some, but I ask that each consider the weight that Scriptural testimony brings and bears upon this subject. This talk (Part 1) covers the timing of the dragon's demise, and Part 2 will carry those thoughts forward and cover what

With Israel growing more and more isolated on the world stage, what does God's Word say about this and how should believers view Israel? We cover this sometimes "tricky" subject in light of Scripture, offering a history of US-Israel relations, how they are worsening, and why this is happening according to God's plan. Ultimately, it will lead to Israel's redemption as a nation. Either watch the class below or read it by scrolling past the video. This class is entitled “The Div

What happens when we die? In this exhortation, we let the Scriptures explain it and take some time to apply the lesson to our own lives. Please forgive us for losing composure with this weighty subject! As the Spirit exhorts us through Solomon, "It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart" (Ecclesiastes 7:2).

By request, we give a Part 2 of our "Fellowship" talk to carry the concepts from the first exhortation into practical application, addressing questions like - What does it mean and communicate to others if we withhold the emblems from them? - What does disfellowship mean and communicate? - What questions should we ask when considering whether to break bread with a large group of people who we don't intimately know (like a Bible School)? And more. You can watch the presentatio

This exhortation covers the meaning of fellowship with God, how it is formed, why it is important, and how we fellowship one another. It explains the origin of what we call "the memorial table" and explains who is to partake of the emblems and why. We discuss the concept of disfellowship as well - what it means and cases when it is necessary (though never the desirable outcome) . This talk is available on YouTube (below) and also on The Gospel Proclamation podcast channels o

In this verse-by-verse exhortation on Acts 7, we talk answer questions like - What does it mean when it says that Stephen's face was "as it had been the face of an angel"? - What is the purpose of Stephen's discourse? - What role did it play in Christ's plan? Join us as we examine Stephen's discourse before the Sanhedrin.

The subject is holiness: what it means, how we understand it, and importantly, how we exhibit it. There were some sobering lessons in this, and I hope that considering these things wi
