In this mini-series about the Book of Life and salvation theology, we’re now working through the implications of the Calvinist doctrine of Unconditional Election (“Double Predestination”). In this session, Dr. Dan will give the biblical response to the Reformed theological contention that everything is pre-determined by God and that humans have no freedom to choose good or evil, love or hate, God...

In this mini-series about the Book of Life and salvation theology, we’re now working through the implications of the Calvinist doctrine of Unconditional Election (“Double Predestination”).  In this session, Dr. Dan will give the biblical response to the Reformed contention that everything is determined and that humans have no freedom to choose good or evil, love or hate, God or self.  We’ll see th...

In Revelation 20, the Word reveals that…in the end…what ultimately matters is that a person’s name is in the Book of Life. In this series on the biblical theology of salvation, we’ll deal with the question, “Why, if God is absolutely sovereign and absolutely loving, EVERYONE isn’t saved?” The Calvinists’ response to this question is the idea that “God has TWO wills: One will of ‘desire’…and anothe...

In Revelation 20, the text speaks of the Lamb’s Book of Life and pronounces that…in the end…what ultimately matters is whether a person’s name is in the Book. In this series, Dr. Dan is unpacking the biblical theology of salvation. And this session focuses on answering the question, “Did God predestine who will be saved and who will be lost???” In response, we’ll begin looking at the two classical...

In this session, we begin a new mini-series related to the Last Days. As the Book of Revelation ends…we find that…in the end…what ultimately matters is whether a person’s name is in the Lamb’s Book of Life. In this series, Dr. Dan will unpack the biblical theology of issues like God’s sovereignty “versus” human freedom, election, predestination, atonement, eternal security, backsliding, and the un...

In our study on Laodicea…the lukewarm, compromising church of the Last Days, we will now see the powerful effect that the Remnant…the part-within-the-part-within-the-whole…can have on the world…and on the intermingled church.  In this study, Dr. Dan will unpack some amazing passage from the Song of Solomon and the Book of Genesis that reveal how much God loves us…and how much He desires for us to...

In our study on Laodicea…the lukewarm, compromising church of the Last Days, we now come to a pervasive biblical concept of how God saves nations, and His people, when they have turned from Him. When the “part-within-the-whole” (Israel/the Church) intermingles with the world, then He uses a “part-within-the-part-within-the-whole” (The “Remnant”) to save the world. In this session, Dr. Dan shows ho...

In Revelation 3, the final church…Laodicea…represents the lukewarm, compromising church of the Last Days. In this session, Dr. Dan continues the series with the “Prophetic Words” that reliably come to God’s people when they live in compromise. We’ve seen the link between the American Church today and the intermingled Hebrew nation that was exiled into Babylon. But remarkably…even if the church is...

In Revelation 3, the final church…Laodicea…represents the lukewarm, compromising church of the Last Days. In this session, Dr. Dan continues the mini-series with the “Prophetic Words” that reliably come to God’s people when they live in compromise. And he makes the link between the American Church today and the compromising Hebrew nation that was exiled into Babylon. And…remarkably…when God discip...

Many believe that the last church in Revelation, Laodicea, represents the lukewarm, compromising church of the Last Days. In this session, Dr. Dan continues the mini-series with the “Prophetic Words” that reliably come to God’s people when they live in compromise. And the next prophetic word is ominous: “Because of your repeated return the world’s ways…I am sending you into exile.”  This session f...

Many believe that Laodicea…the 7th church in Revelation 3…represents the lukewarm, compromising church of the End Times. In this session, Dr. Dan continues the mini-series with the “Prophetic Words” that reliably come to God’s people when they live like the world. And this month we find that…when God’s people PURSUE power…not only do they fail to gain WORLDLY power…they end up losing GOD’S power a...

Many believe that Laodicea…the 7th church in Revelation 3…represents the lukewarm, compromising church of the End Times. In this session, Dr. Dan continues the mini-series with the “Prophetic Words” that reliably come to God’s people when they live like the world. And the next “Word” describes a recurrent error among God’s people when they become lukewarm: They place their hope in partnerships wit...

Many theologians believe that Laodicea…the 7th church in Revelation 3…represents the lukewarm church that has intermingled with the world that will be present during the End Times. In this session, Dr. Dan continues the mini-series with the “Prophetic Words” that reliably come to God’s people when they compromise and become like…or even worse than…the world. When the 8th Prophetic Word comes…it sa...

Revelation 2 & 3 are messages to seven 1st century churches in Asia Minor. In addition to being 7 extant churches at the time of John’s writing, many scholars believe that they represent 7 “eras” of the church…as it has progressed through the ages. And so…it appears that the End-Times church is the lukewarm church thathas intermingled with the world. In this session, Dr. Dan shows the parallel...

In Revelation 2 & 3, there are messages from Jesus to 7 churches. These represent specific churches of John’s day and also a description of 7 types of churches that have existed throughout Christian history. However, some theologians also believe that they represent 7 “eras” of the church…as it has progressed through the ages. And with that understanding, it points to the End-Times church bein...

Wars and rumors of wars!!! Pestilence…famine…pandemics…global distress. Are these the “Signs of the Times” that so many renowned authors and speakers have declared as the harbingers of Christ’s imminent return?  In this month’s teaching, Dr. Dan presents the biblical concept of the Signs of the Times…and the surprise that they’re not what most believers think.  He will present the dramatic contras...

Have you ever been reading a prophetic biblical passage…and wondered where it fits into the Last Days? In this session, Dr. Dan will review how the timing of the End Times will unfold.  He will then present a series of hints to help identify where various prophetic passages fit into the Timeline. This session will be invaluable for those who have ever struggled with understanding how to place even...

Many believers struggle with understanding how to fit together the timing of the various events of the Last Days. The Rapture (Pre, Mid, Post-Trib)? The Millennium (Pre, Post, Amillennial)? In this session, Dr. Dan gives an overview of how the various Rapture and Millennial views fit into the biblical understanding of the End Times. He also answers the commonly-asked question: “Why will there be a...

In the Last Days, there will be huge, global wars. And at the center of these massive battles…will be the Nation of Israel. So…are the events we see going on in the Middle East harbingers of The End??? Join Dr. Dan in this session as he unpacks what Israel’s conflict could potentially mean from the perspective of biblical prophecy.  Download notes here

We’ve learned that 666…The Mark…will be far more than simply an identifier that allows people to buy and sell during the Tribulation. I will also mean being loyal to…and worshiping…The Beast!!! This week…we continue our miniseries on Worship…and we’ll find that idolatry isn’t just a thing of the past…but is all around us. And…we’ll be reminded of how subtle and “uneventful” the slide of a believer...

”666”…what will it mean??? Remarkably, many teachings about The Mark of the Beast have missed the main point of what Revelation teaches about it. Those who receive “The Mark” will actually  worship  the Beast…believing that he is the “savior of the world.” And for those who choose loyalty to the One True God…the price will be as high as it has ever been. So…how do we prepare our hearts and lives t...

Much has been discussed, argued, and written about the Revelation concept of “The Mark of the Beast.” The Mark…”666”…becomes the symbol of the Antichrist’s economic control of the world during the last half of the 7-year Tribulation. But it also represents far more than that:  Loyalty  to the Beast!!! And…it spells certain death for the followers of Christ in the Last Days! However, in the end, th...

Tonight, we deal with some of the sticky philosophical issues related to Hell. Questions like, “How can you reconcile a loving God with an eternal Hell? The deep philosophical questions related to eternal judgment are not new. And the biblical and philosophical responses to these questions aren’t new either. In this session, Dr. Dan will present the insights from some great Christian philosophers…...

Have you ever been bothered by the concept that there is a final judgment coming...and that some will be forever separated from God after that judgment?  And...have you ever grappled with the concepts of eternal punishment...and Hell?  In this month's teaching, Dr. Dan will deal with the issue of the fact that God has so much love for humans...and so much grace...and yet...there is still...Hel...

Have you ever been confused by the various Judgments that will occur at the end of time?  This Thursday, join Dr. Dan in learning about the timing...the purpose...and the outcome of each of the Judgments that the Scripture says are coming. We'll focus specifically on the Sheep and Goats Judgment...and the Great White Throne Judgment that comprise the Final Judgments. In this teaching, we'll also s...
