BEYOND WORDS with Dr. William Campbell

What could be more unsettling than a Biblical description of the Great Tribulation, a time of world distress of unparalleled proportions? Revelation 8 & 9 and their seven trumpets depict horrific terrors released on earth from the gates of hell. Buried within this passage are profound promises that those who trust in God will be protected.

Revelation 6 and 7 describe six of the seven seals that are opened by God to launch end-time events. In this video, we note the parallels between the seven seals and the Olivet Discourse of Matthew 24. Both passages speak of the birth pains required for this world to give birth to the next. By reflecting on God’s purpose for the coming birth pains, we find reason to trust His sovereign plan.

Once we understand who Christ is, we are able to engage in what Christ does.

People often think of science and Christianity as t...

Once we surrender all to God, even the...

Why is the Church losing its influence on culture? Is it because we no longer believe the truth enough to proclaim it?
