God 1st

Brian C Thomas delivers a message on the loveless church from Revelation 2:1-7.

Following His resurrection, Jesus told the apostles, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations." Are you making disciples? Are you sharing the good news about Jesus Christ? Join us as we address this essential message of the Christian faith. 

How should we honor the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ?

The book of Revelation is all about the unveiling of Jesus Christ. Today, we look at the majestic vision of the Son of Man from Revelation 1:16-20.

God requires obedience. He blesses us when we obey and he chastens us when we disobey. We look today in how Moses and the Israelites learned this lesson the hard way.

Today's commentary is on:

And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. - Revelation 1:17

Today's commentary is on:

He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. - Revelation 1:16

The book of Revelation is all about the unveiling of Jesus Christ. Today, we look at the majestic vision of the Son of Man from Revelation 1:9-15.

“Don’t read that book – it will drive you crazy – it will make you lose your mind!” That was the all-too-often response that I would hear as a child when the topic of the book of Revelation was mentioned. I even once heard a conversation between two preachers where one told the other to stay away from Revelation. The other preacher responded, “And Daniel!” I did not believe that narrative then, nor do I believe it now. When I grew into adulthood and answered God’s call to teach His prophetic word, I have often reflected on those statements that many, who professed to be Christians by the way, would make in dismissing the last book of the Bible. Let’s try to rationalize their thinking for a moment. God loves us so much that He stepped out of a perfect heaven and became one of us. He did so because the only way that mankind could be redeemed from sin was through the sacrifice of a perfect man. Because no man was perfect, no man was able to fulfill the requirement. That meant every person to ever be born would be destined to the eternal lake of fire. So, God chose the only option for redemption, which was to become a man by way of a virgin, allow Himself to be wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, and suffer an excruciating death on the cross as the only perfect sacrificial Lamb. Now if He would do all of that because of how much He loves us, why would He then turn around and say, “Now, I will conclude my redemptive plan with a book that will cause them to lose their minds.”? It does not make sense because it is a deception from the great deceiver, Satan. The truth of the matter is there is blessing for the one who reads and who hears the words of the book of Revelation prophecy. Satan does not want us to receive that blessing, so he influences people to stay away. Join us as we embark on a journey through the book of Revelation.

Whether it is permissible for Christians to celebrate Christmas or not is an annual hot topic debate. Join Evangelist B.C. Thomas as he answers the question: Should Christians celebrate  Christmas?

In the second segment, we look at a case in which a Raleigh, NC family was ordered by their HOA to remove a cross as a Christmas decoration.

PART 2!  Is there an afterlife? All will exist eternally. Your decision about Jesus Christ will determine your eternal home. We continue to look this week at the last rebellion of Satan and the subsequent Great White Throne Judgment.

Mankind is in constant pursuit of utopia – the problem is trying to do it without Jesus.

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. - Matthew 16:24

We look today at what it means to deny oneself, take up your cross and follow Jesus.

"Does the Bible allow for women pastors?" This is one of the most hotly debated topics in the church today and many church leaders will not address it out of fear of offending someone or ruffling feathers. But we cannot steer clear of issues because someone may get upset.

Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. - Revelation 19:20

The second coming of Christ is the most exciting event in all of Bible prophecy.

Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. - Revelation 19:11

Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready. – Revelation 19:7

As we continue in Revelation, we are reminded in Matthew 24:21: For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. We have already seen the seven seal and seven trumpet judgments, now we are introduced to the seven bowl judgments.

We welcome Elder James Faison and Dee Faison to the show to discuss the critical topic of keeping Christ the focus of Christmas.

In interpreting Revelation, we must determine the scene and time of activity. Perspective is very important. Some think the events of Revelation 14 are taking place on earth while others say the scene is in heaven. This greatly impacts interpretation / perspective. If on the earth, chapter is a flash forward to the end of the Tribulation. Chapter 14 is what we call a parenthetical chapter – explanation of things outside of order of events. We saw Antichrist and false prophet in chapter 13, here we will see the Lamb on Mount Zion.

Jesus Christ foretold that in the last days, “For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand.” (Matthew 24:24-25). Although many false prophets have come on the scene, past and present, the ultimate fulfillment of the words of Christ will take place during the Tribulation. The Antichrist will take control of a world government during this time and the false prophet of all false prophets will urge the world to worship him.

Just as God uses man to accomplish His objective, Satan uses man as well. We will see this displayed in chapter 13. Satan has been cast to the earth and he is standing on the "shore of the sea" and observing this "beast", contemplating how he will control it for his purposes.
