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...

Scripture teaches that we will ALL stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ. In this session, we'll explore what the Apostle Paul meant in I Corinthians 3 when he said that "each one's works will be tested by fire." We'll also see how it could be that, if we "built our house" with "wood, hay, and straw"...our works will be "burned up." Dr. Dan will unpack the details of what the Word means that a...

Many believers say things like, "In the end, all that matters is that my sins are forgiven and I get to have eternal life." Not only is this a remarkably self-centered perspective...it's biblically incorrect!!! Indeed, we (believers) will ALL stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ. In this new mini-series, we will look at what Scripture teaches about the End Times Judgments. We'll start with the...

Many people conceive of "This Life" and "The NEXT Life" as two disconnected realities. However, Scripture teaches that there is a flawless continuity between life before and after physical death. Hence, the absurd misunderstanding that I can love living MY way here...but since I was "Born Again"...when I stop breathing...I'll love living in Heaven where GOD'S will is ALWAYS done. The fact is, the...

After Jesus returns, will there be any second chances to accept Him as Savior?  Or...will everyone's choice already have been made? This month we'll focus on the finality of people's decisions that will have been made when Christ comes back. We'll also deal with the many misunderstandings that surround the biblical teaching of WHY the choices that have been made at the time of the 2nd co...

This week, Dr. Dan will deal with the fact that, no matter how strongly a person believes their particular Rapture timing view...there are a lot of other believers who disagree with them.  This session will deal with the reasons why the Pre-Trib, the Mid-Trib, and the Post-Trib views have all flourished in the Church for centuries...and why God would leave something as importan...

If the return of Christ is such an important Doctrine…and if the blessed hope of the Church is Christ’s return …then why would God leave the timing of such an important event...up in the air???  Why would He leave something this important up for multiple different interpretations within the historic, orthodox Church??? In this session, we’ll find that in answering these questions…an...
