The Great Tribulation

Dennis McCallum
Matthew 24:15-22

In the Olivet discourse, Jesus speaks with his disciples about what to expect at the end of time in a period referred to as "the great tribulation". He explains that this will be a time of chaos and intense suffering before Jesus comes back to judge the earth. We will discuss general preconditions for this time period and explore biblical prophecy surrounding this event.

Signs of the End of the Age (Part 1)

Conrad Hilario
Luke 21:5-24

When some of Jesus' disciples were admiring the majesty of the temple, Jesus prophesied that a time is coming when it will be demolished??not one stone will be left on top of another.? Unlike other world religions, God gave us unique, objective, easy to interpret, and fulfilled prophecies in order to provide us evidence of His existence.

When Will These Things Be?

Dennis McCallum
Ezekiel 37:1-24

Jesus tells His disciples about the future judgment of Israel in which the temple will be destroyed and the Jews displaced. When the disciples inquire about the timeline, Jesus responds with a series of signs but assures them that the Gentiles' time in Jerusalem is only temporary. Less than 40 years later, Jesus' words came true; and today we see even more Old Testament prophecy about the end times fulfilled as the Jews are regathered to Israel. The Bible stands alone in it's ability to make astonishing predictions, confirming it's claim to be God's Word.

Jesus and the End of the World, Part 2

Scott Risley
Luke 21:25-27

Jesus uses predictive prophecy regarding end times to illustrate the character of God and His message to humanity. Research validates the signs Jesus predicted including signs from the first coming, the second coming, and for the end of the world. Religious, political, and environmental signs are discussed. There are also preconditions that have been validated which we are seeing happen today.

Recognizing the Time of His Coming

Conrad Hilario
Daniel 9:24-25

Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey's colt, just as was prophesied in the Old Testament. Though people recognized Him as the Messiah at that point, it was only days later that they advocated for His crucifixion. We see through Daniel 9, one of many fulfilled prophesies, that God has given us objective evidence for belief in His son. Don't fail to recognize Him as the Messiah like this audience did when they crucified Him. We should investigate the claims of Christianity and make a decision.

Jesus and the End of the World, Part 1

Scott Risley
Ezekiel 37:10-25

In his final week, Jesus predicts Jerusalem will be uprooted, scattered and later regathered. He warns his disciples against false claims, tells them what to look for and explains how they will go through great persecution. Historians Josephus and Tacitus confirm this biblical account as well as Old Testament Scripture. Against all odds, these predictions have come true which gives great evidence this can only be from the one true God.

The Time of Your Visitation

Dennis McCallum
Daniel 9:24-25

Jesus makes His triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The crowd is overjoyed, but Jesus weeps over the city because they don't recognize that He's fulfilling prophecy in their midst. Though it's written 500 years earlier, Daniel 9 predicts the exact year that the Messiah would enter Jerusalem. Today we are able to verify Jesus' claims through evaluating predictive prophecy. Debbie Rudy shares her experience with weighing the evidence for Jesus.

Jesus Before His Public Ministry

Gary DeLashmutt
John 3:16

Summarizes Jesus' birth and childhood. Draws a parallel between Mary's free will in deciding whether to let God put his Son in her - and our free will in deciding whether to let God supernaturally conceive his Son's life in our hearts.
