Seven Years of Revival, Seven Years of Tribulation!

There seem to be two camps in evangelicalism today: those who preach world revival and those who preach world tribulation. The revival camp doesn’t say much about the rapture or tribulation. And the tribulation camp doesn’t say much about revival. I don’t think they even believe it will happen. But it will – and soon.

But guess what? History repeats itself.

Prepare for the last days!

Preacher: Doug Small

Sermon: Ezra-Nehemiah partnership

Text: Ezra 7-9, Nehemiah 8

-Ezra: priest and pastor, moral and spiritual leader. Nehemiah: layman, political and social leader.

-We must be salt and light in the culture. God wants to be glorified in every aspect of the culture.

Praise in Prison: Building the Tabernacle of David in the Last Days

Date: Friday, October 22

Location: Abba’s House, Chattanooga, TN

Speaker: Tommy Bates

Text: Psalm 102:16-22 [esp. verse 18]

-Music was created in the devil’s body, through movement. When he moved among the stones of fire [see Ezekiel 28], the angels sang holy holy holy. But the devil had sin: he wanted independence/freedom from God’s word and will. When he and 1/3 of angels left, there was no music. God’s plan: create free moral agents who will praise him because they want to, who will choose to be connected to him, word, and will.

Song of Solomon: End-Times Prophecy: “Open Your Heart”

Speaker: Tommy Bates

Text: Song of Solomon 5:2-5, 8:8-10

Topic: Open your heart

-Song of Solomon is an allegory prophetic of the last days = marriage supper of the Lamb.

-We are the bride of Christ. And we meet Christ as the Shepherd of our souls.

-Jesus isn’t coming for pomp and show, for money or entertainment. He’s coming for those who love him and those who are looking for him.

Scotland and the UK: Pray for Revival!

[Dennis Tanner: American missionary, pastor, and Church of God overseer to Scotland (Inverness)]

-Tanner was called to be a missionary at age 11, during a missions conference.

-Earlier ministry places: Congo, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg.

-1 Samuel 1-4: Samuel’s call, Israel’s battle with the Philistines [3:1 – “the word of the Lord was rare in those days”]

-Israel: tradition, ritual, symbolism; faith in objects and patterns, not God; forgotten relationship with God, corrupt priesthood leading people astray and latter allowing it because of misplaced faith.

The Weak Shall Lead the Strong

I’m not a scientist. So I don’t know the particulars of evolutionary theory. However, I am a witness to what evolution has produced. I also know it’s based on lies. And this is what I want to discuss.

The God of Chaos

A few days ago, I heard the song “Still” by Hillsong, which alludes to Psalm 46.
