2nd Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we live as human beings, we do not wage war according to human standards, 4for the weapons of our warfare are not human weapons, but are made powerful by God for tearing down strongholds. We tear down arguments 5and every arrogant obstacle that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to make it obey Christ.

You’ve surely seen a children’s book illustrations of Noah and the Ark or a nursery wall painting of a boat overstuffed with animals–with a giraffe head sticking out of the top and various other critters poking out here and there. And that kind of a picture tends to make people wonder how in the world could 2 of every kind of animal fit on a boat. But the problem is that most of the images you’ve seen don’t comport at all with reality. Noah’s Ark was a massive cargo ship. And when you look at it from a scientific standpoint there was more than enough room for all the animals, food, supplies, fresh water (if needed), and a shuffleboard court or whatever you might like some extra deck space for. Take a listen and picture what the real story of Noah paints for you.

“Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” asked Nathaniel.
Later the religious leaders said “Look in to it. You will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.”
There were people who doubted Jesus’ authority, because they saw him as a nobody from nowhere.
So did they have it right. Is Jesus disqualified as the son of God because he happened to live in Nazareth? Or does that all the more qualify him as a wonderful example for any person from anywhere to follow in his footsteps?
Listen to the message and see what you think.

Almost everybody likes a happy ending. Whether it’s a book or a movie or real life, we all like to see things come out ok in the end. But just like many books and movies, before the end of time in the real life, things are going to get worse before they get better.

There are plenty of theories about the Antichrist out there: who is he, where is he from, how is it that he gets away with killing Christians, how does he exert so much influence over the world? This weeks audio provides a theory that perhaps you haven’t heard before.

Jesus said that the poor would always be with us, but that we are called to help them anyway. So a good Christian who is able to share reaches out to his brothers and sisters who are in need. In the same way, end times prophecy makes it pretty clear that we will always have war, and that real world peace will always elude us. Nevertheless we can help bring real peace to the hearts and souls of individuals by introducing them to the Prince of Peace. Jesus Christ can help you to know what it’s like to have calm through all the storms of life.
