How long do you expect to live? There is much emphasis today on preserving life. But eternal life expectancy extends beyond the grave. We have a promise and a hope. And we have an assurance of the resurrection at the return of Christ - but what we do with this life will determine if we obtain the eternal.

The one true God of the Bible has a personal name just like us. He always has been and always will be. There is no other god. In today’s study, we examine the emphasis of the Divine Name and the titles that help us understand who God is.

Sometimes, we have to learn lessons the hard way. It was that way with Jonah. He was the first Hebrew prophet sent to preach to a heathen nation - while that nation was in the process of destroying Israel, his own. But through his disobedience and then his prayer, we see that God sends His messengers out to preach His message for His results. And God’s love and mercy extend to all people.

Where does everlasting life come from? Have you been deceived by the first lie, “you won’t surely die?” Are we already immortal, or do we obtain eternal life?

Why are we here? What are we here for? Everybody is looking for the “meaning of life.” In this new series, we’re looking at the meaning of “life” as it is used in the Bible. In today’s message, we begin where life began - with the breath of life.

Do you know what you’re made of? Have you even thought about how awesome creation really is? As we look at the account of how God made us, we see that, ultimately, man is made up of two elements: dust + the breath of life. So what happens when we die? What is man’s “spirit?” Are you really dead when you’re dead? Do we go anywhere when we die? Today, we look exactly at what the Bible says.

Continuing in our study on the book of Psalms, today we look at the “Messiah,” or the “anointed.” The name Jesus Christ means “the anointed Savior.” This was the Messiah the Jews were looking to come, and the Savior that we are waiting to return. But we can’t study the Messiah in the Psalms without looking at the many events of his suffering and crucifixion that are prophesied in detail in the Psalms. As we examine the passages, we see the obvious references specifically referring to Jesus, and that Jesus referred to about himself.

Jesus spent 40 days after his resurrection teaching his apostles on one subject - the Kingdom of God. Why was understanding the kingdom so important? What did he mean when he prayed, “thy kingdom come?” Is the kingdom already here? Has it already come? When is it coming? What will it be like? Where will it be? Does Israel have a part in the coming kingdom? What about the promises made to Abraham? What about the Davidic covenant? In today’s message, Pastor Landry examines what the Bible teaches and what Jesus taught on the teachings pertaining to the Kingdom of God.

God has regathered his people to Israel, but with their return has come the return of conflict. And with all of the conflict in the Middle East, we see this little country at the center of the news continuously. With all of the weaponry in our world, we can’t help but wonder if a nuclear confrontation is coming. And yet the nations continue to defy God, almost seemingly daring Him to do something. God won’t put up with it forever. Judgment is coming when Jesus comes. God’s plan will be fulfilled no matter what happens. And it’s in His plan that we put our hope as we look ahead at what’s coming.

In today’s study, we consider the answer to the thief on the cross. Many commonly believe that both Jesus and the thief were in paradise on the day that Christ died. But is that really the case? Is that really what the thief was asking? Is that really the answer that Jesus gave? As we examine the testimony from the other gospels, the punctuation of the verses, and the words spoken by Jesus himself, we find the meaningful truth buried under all of the contradicting tradition.
