First Apostolic Church

A murderer in the Old Testament defiled the land by the blood he shed. The land cannot be cleansed any other way than by the blood of the one who shed the blood. God made himself a body through Christ which provided blood. He became part of the human family and took the sin of us all on himself. He became the perpetrator for us so he could cleanse the land which humanity was originally made of. It...

This series was written by Pastor George Akers from Sanford, NC. This is the last lesson in this series. The church is illustrated in the scriptures mainly by three metaphors: the bride of Chris, the body of Christ, and the building of Christ. Through each of these we can see how we must relate to Christ. We also understand that each of our individual roles are important and we must take responsib...

Revelation - Part 8b: A massive army joins the four angels that are loosed from the Euphrates River. The horses in this army are peculiar in their appearance.

Moses could observe what Joshua was going to experience but he would never experience it himself. Although Moses would never experience it, he received a mandate from heaven to encourage and strengthen Joshua. The simple admonition was "encourage him." During an era of great discouragement, we must encourage one another even if we have never experienced what the other is going through.

Job was overwhelmed by how good the wicked seemed to have it. His view no doubt was jaded by his current suffering. Nevertheless, he saw that both the strong and the bitter will die.

Job attests to the...

There are three main things that resulted due to him speaking up: Joseph was released from the pit, that provided he would be the manager of the storehouses later, and he was responsible for Benjamin. Praise will release dreams, give you provision in the future, and...

She stands in the shadows as her husband tells Paul to go for now and at a convenient season he'll call for him. Her heart must have dropped to her knees as she heard another missed chance.
