There are many wrong views of freedom in our day. For some, freedom means the right to sin. For some Christians, freedom in a nation can be seen almost as a bad thing (i.e., Christians are strengthened by persecution, therefore, freedom is a hindrance to the church).
But the Bible views freedom as a desirable thing, if it is used correctly. This message looks at what the Bible says concerning freedom.

This message gives a brief overview of warfare in the Bible, and gives examples of some of the weapons God has equipped us with.

William Perkins was a great man of God, and yet his life may not seem as important as other towering figures in church history. But, God used this man in ways that are still being felt hundreds of years later. This message briefly looks at the life of Perkins and looks at how 1 Cor. 15:58 was true in his life and ours. Our labor “in the Lord” is never in vain.

What Christian hasn’t asked “What does God want me to do with my life?” Â While many would rightfully say that we learn God’s will in His word, the question then becomes “How do I use God’s word to learn His will?” This message seeks to give you a framework for discovering God’s will in every area of life. Â Â
This message looks at 2 Peter 1:12-15, which talks about Peter’s approaching death. He not only died in a way that glorified God, but he also shows us how to live a life that will bring glory to God as well.
Friday’s Introduction to the four views of eschatology and four views of the book of Revelation
Historic/Classical Premillennialism (Mike Griggs)
Premillennialism version #2 (Paul Coleman)Â Note: this version of Premillennialism shares some agreement with Dispensationalism in that it sees the millennium as being more “Israel centric” than the Historic Premil. view. The speaker (Paul Coleman), however, doesn’t hold to other aspects of Dispensationalism.Â
Amillennialism (Scott Walker)Â
Postmillennialism (Mike Griggs)
Partial Preterism (Keith Foskey)
Historicism (Scott Walker)
Idealism (Mike Griggs)
Futurism (Paul Coleman)
Bonus track: What is 5th Kingdom Ministries?
There are 3 (some would say 4) main views on the end times (eschatology). While all of these views hold that Jesus will be victorious in the age to come, only one view believes that Jesus will be victorious in this age and the next. That view is called Postmillennialism. Postmillennialism is a minority view today, but it was the most common view in America at the time of our founding.
