One found only in a perfect savior. #amos #jesusmessage #biblicalwisdom #biblestudy #onlinebiblestudy #jesussaves #christi...

The message to the church in Ephesus is both a commendation and a warning. Jesus praises the church for their perseverance, discernment, and faithfulness in the face of adversity. Yet, He rebukes them for losing something - a newlywed love for Him.   Jesus calls for their repentance and a return to their original zeal or a punishment would come.   What do we have to learn from this warning? What w...

Includes a bonus insight into Josh's missionary trip into Kenya at the beginning!   Isaiah 18 is a prophecy filled with vivid imagery and symbolic language.   The heart of the prophecy lies in the promise of God's judgment and subsequent restoration.
