When God feels distant

We hear that the Bible has been translated so many times that it can’t be right. But is that true? How can we know that the Bible we read today has the same words that the Holy Spirit inspired thousands of years ago? And what about all the translations? ESV. KJV. NKJV. NLT. Which is the best and most accurate to read?

During the final 7-year period, especially after the 3.5-year mark when the Anti-Christ begins persecuting Jews and Christians, will the persecution be worldwide? Will this affect us in the United States? England? China? Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference

Religion destroys us. Religion makes us feel we can never do enough to make God happy. Religion makes us feel distant from God. But that is not what Jesus wants from us. He wants our heart and when He has our heart He changes us on the inside. What happens then is that we begin to love Him because He first loved us. Join us today as we continue in Luke Chapter 4.

Why did the Catholic Church add extra books to the Bible? Are these added books considered inspired by God?Did the Jews accept these books? Did Jesus or the Apostles think they should be there? When were these extra books written and why does that matter?  Join us as we explain why there are more books in the Catholic Bible and why that should concern us!

We hear all these ideas about what the Mark of the Beast might be. A microchip? A vaccine? But what does the Bible say? Well – not that!  The mark of the Beast is not something you can be forced into taking. This is not something you can accidentally take. This mark is something that will be a choice and your eternal destination is dependent on what you choose.

Jesus came back to His hometown but His town was filled with religious people who loved their religion. They didn’t love what Jesus had to say. So, they tried to kill him. Here’s my point: People didn’t like Jesus back then. People don’t like that we follow Jesus today. But we need to know it’s okay if people don’t like us because of our faith in Jesus!

Who is the Angel of the Lord? He shows up in the Old Testament and claims to be God. He accepts worship.Who could this be? What about those times when God is in the garden with Adam and Eve or when God shows up to Abraham and Jacob, Joshua and Moses? Who is this? I think we only have one choice. Join us today as we talk about Jesus in the Old Testament.

We have heard that the Anti-Christ will rule the whole world. This idea is taken from Revelation 13:7-8 where it says the Anti-Christ is allowed to make war on the saints from all people, tribes, nations and languages and all who dwell on the earth. But what does that mean considering all the other end-time passages? Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference

Jesus hated religion. He came to release captives. Preach the gospel to the poor. To free those who were oppressed. But for religious Pharisees of the day, those things were unheard of.  They wanted to do something. They wanted to impress people. They wanted people to think they were so religious. But Jesus comes along and destroys that kind of thinking as He was hoping for a heart that would love Him.

Jesus is all over the Old Testament. That isn’t something we hear much about but today we will see how Jesus points to Himself in Old Testament passages and we will learn why that matters! Join us today as we continue in our Puzzled by the Bible series.
