6 days before the events of Passover weekend when Jesus took the sins of the world upon himself and died for us, Jesus was eating dinner with Lazarus, the disciples, Mary and Martha and other people. They were all reclining at the table. Jesus made three life changing prophecies about what He was about to fulfil for us. It was incredible and permanent. He made these declarations about the cross for us so that we would know why He was going to the cross. He was telling us the purpose of the cross and how this would forever change how we see everything in the world. Jesus would say, “NOW is the hour come that Judgment will come. Now is the hour when the prince of this world will be cast out (speaking of Satan.)” And finally, “And I, if I be lifted up (upon the cross), I will draw all men unto myself.” Get ready for a spirit-filled message followed by the gifts of the spirit in operation in the ministry time that was left on the recording for your edification.

Are you having church is a few of you are watching TV each Sunday week together? Or maybe you do it alone? Is that church? Only 35 percent nationally of those who left church in the pandemic ever came back. The Apostle John said if they leave, it shows they were never really with you. That's kind of harsh but it's BIble. In the meantime a whole new groups has come. It's time to hear truth about who these kids are and what it will take to go and reach them. Also, Mellinnials, Generation Z and Generation ALPHA (those that are 10 and under but not finished being born.) This group is just two generations from being a huministic athiestic socieity. It's what happened to Europe. Baby Boomes are more than 35 percent Christian. Gen X is 16 percent Christian. Mellinnialls are less than 4 persent Chrisitian. Gen Z is reportedly less than 1 percent Chritian adding them to the list of 7400 unreached people groups, right here in America. And I shutter to think of where that leaves alpha without any role models. BUT I AM a positive Guy. I believe in miracles and I believe in revival. Charles FInney said "God sends revivals when we need them." Well Lord, we need revival right about now. Let's have prayer for it and in the mean time share Jesus all over America and the world to every geneation expecting good results!!!! Amen???!

In every generation there are men and women of God who seem to rise to the top of adversity, above the world, the flesh and the devil. TL Osborn is one of those men. He wrote over 100 books and thousands of poems. He preached face to face to hundreds of millions of people. Jesus is the great Apostle. He is the Great Shepard of the sheep. Compared to him, we are all nothing. However, when thinking of people who preached to more people face to face than anyone else EVER, there is only three that can be placed in a room by themselves. The great German Evangelist, Reinhardt Bonkke. The great statesmen, that was affectionately known as "America's pastor," Billy Graham. Finally, the great Evangelist who introduced mass miracles as a part of the gospel and is known for seeing more healings than any man to have ever walked the earth outside of Jesus Himself - all miracles come from Him anyway. Reinhardt Bonkke was mentored by TL Osborn and asked for his advice in doing crusades. The three of them knew and esteemed each other very well. Today we will learn about the man who preached in over a hundreds nations of the world, the late great Dr. TL Osborn.

We live in an ever changing culture. Isn't it true that the Bible was written thousands of years ago and the content concerning morality wasn't understanding of post-modern era? Was Paul actually warning to people who are in love and in a monogamous relationship with the same sex that this was sin or was he referring to the practice of temple prostitutes and having many partners? Is it possible that we have misread and misunderstood a lot of the Bible for todays Christian dealing with complex issues such as Homosexuality, Gender Identity and Racial Identity? Is the Bible simple a little behind the times on this issue? Or have we possibly misapplied ancient texts to modern times poorly? Pastor Chris Talks about it.

This podcast if very personal to Pastor Chris. Many PK's or pastors kids or others raised in ministry have a negative view of their parents or a negative view of the Church. Many have departed from the faith. PK's have always had this heart and on the next several podcasts we will address this head on and hear from some PK's who often have trauma to share and who are angry at their parents or the Church. Subscribe to this podcast on the Apple Podcast app or Spotify or many other places. There is so much to learn. 

God is sovereign. There is no doubt about that. But how does that sovereignty look in our everyday lives. Are we mere puppets that have no choice in any matter of our daily lives? Is He pulling the strings and we hopelessly resign ourselves to the fact that there is nothing we can really do to make things better or worse because in the end, God makes the decision. We may have chosen a terrible path for our life full of sickness, disease and trouble but He knows what's best and we don't so we must trust His master plan after all. Or have we been sold a lie about who is in charge on this earth? After all, 1 Cor. 4:4 says that it is now Satan that is running things. How did this happen? Is there anything that can be done about it? Should we hope for a better life now? Or be resigned to a life that seems to be way below anyones expectations of a better life. Does God want us to have a good life, or dare I say "Our Best Life Now?" What does the Bible say? In the series we will share what the Bible says. You be the judge.

Satan lost the battle at calvary. Jesus won. Now he has given us his name. We must use his name and come against all the power of the wicked one! Sometimes we are praying about problems when God has called us to speak to our problems in His name. 

Did you know that God promises not only that we are going to face difficult times but also that he's going to pour out his spirit in a way that shakes the entire world. Yes, difficult times are coming. yes, if you look at what is happening around the world it seems that we are coming into some difficult times very soon. But the reality is that even though Satan is on the move, God is much more on the move. Isaiah promises that darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the people BUT THE LORD WILL shine upon you and his brightness will be upon you. Now that's good news. The world will get dark but the bright will get brighter!! Revival is coming. 

Today there are many doctrines that are attacking the core foundational beliefs about salvation such as universalism, Calvinism, Moralistic Therapeutic Deism and other such unbiblical ideas as these.
