David Asscherick - The War Behind All Wars

Have you ever wondered why we have all these wars and all sorts of calamities on earth? How can a God of love allow all these wars and diseases to exist? These questions and more are answered in this sermon. David Asscherick, cofounder of ARISE Institute goes behind the scenes to reveal the first war that led to all these wars and reveals the major players in these wars.

The book of revelation lifts the veil and reveals that there was war in heaven between the forces of God led by Michael and the forces of evil led by the dragon or Satan. The devil lost this war and was cast out of heaven. He later found home on earth after deceiving our first parents, Adam and Eve. The fall of Adam and  Eve resulted in the earth suffering the consequences of sin such as wars, diseases, etc. To put a stop to this decay, God sent His son who came and died on the cross of calvary for the sins of the world, thus paying in full the penalty for sin. This then started a chain of events that will culminate in the end of sin and its consequences.

A Jewish Celebration of The Sabbath

We owe a lot to the Jews for the preservation of the worship of the God of heaven or Yahweh. Had it not been for the Jews, the worship of Yahweh would probably have been forgotten. But God made sure that this would not happen. He chose the Jews to be His representatives; His chosen people. This was not some form of favoritism on His part but He knew that to preserve the knowledge of the creator, He had to choose a people who would enter into a covenant with Him, acknowledging him as their God and them as His people. 

One of the teachings of the Bible the Jews have preserved is the observance of the Sabbath. There is never a point in history when the Jews forgot the Sabbath. It is precisely because of this reason that we can learn a lot of things on how to observe the sabbath. We however, need to do this while remembering that some traditions of men have crept into their observance just as they have crept into the christian church.

The video below presents some gems for keeping the sabbath as practiced by the Jews.

Pastor Freddie Russell - The Holy Spirit

In this sermon, Pastor Freddie Russell preaches on the importance of being baptised by the Holy Spirit.  He points out from scriptures the effect that that would have on our christian witness. The boldness that will accompany our witness just as it happenned to the Apostles who after being baptised by Spirit changed from being cowards to fearless warriors of the cross. Warriors who were not afraid to tell the powers that be that they would rather obey God than man. And yet these were the same people who a few days before had abandoned their master in the garden of gethsemane and continued to hide from the powers that be until they received the Holy Spirit. Pastor Freddie Russell says we can only receive the gift of the Spirit through prayer only. Through much prayer.

No animal could stand against this ram and it did as it pleased until  a goat with a prominent horn between his eyes appeared and charged at the ram with great rage.The goat defeated the ram but at its height the prominent horn was broken and in its place four prominent horns grew up towards the four winds of  heaven.

Theme of the Book of Daniel - Stephen Bohr

In a sermon, delivered at the 3ABN Pillars of Prophecy seminar Stephen Bohr presents the theme of the prophetic book of Daniel. All students of prophets will tell you that the two main books on prophecy are Daniel and the book of Revealtion. You cannot understand properly the book of Revelation unless you understand the book of Daniel as most of the symbolism of Daniel are found in the book of Revelation.

In beginning to study the book of Daniel, the best starting place is to study its theme so that we do not miss the main aim of the book or the big picture. Once we understand the theme all the other puzzles will fall into place. That is precisely the main thrust of the video below.

It is Time To Believe In The Bible - Gary Kent

The Bible is one of the most attacked books in the world. The main reason could be its claim that it contains the word that was inspired by God himself.  For instance some scholars disputed some historical facts presented in the scriptures. One of those attacks was whether the Hittites had really existed as the Bible claimed. Archaeology came to the rescue of the Bible when archaeologists discovered the ruins of the cities of the Hittites. All of a sudden a big civilisation that had remained hidden to scholars was uncovered. This is just one of the stories that continue to prove Bible critics wrong.

In the video below Gary Kent affirms this belief in a sermon titled, It is Time To Believe The Bible.

Daniel 2 - David Shin

Daniel chapter 2 is one of the easiest prophecies to understand in the Bible. It is one of the reasons that I believe in the authenticity and the truth of the Bible. When you go through that prophecy and see how is has been fulfilled you are left with awe as to how a prophet who lived a long time ago was able to predict the future as he did. It is nothing short of the supernatural. It the base of all the prophecies found in Daniel and Revelation.

In the video below David Shin presents the prophecy of Daniel 2 and its implications for our lives.

An Interview With Those Who Knew Ellen White

The Seventh-day Adventist Church believes that the gift of prophecy is still in operation in the christian church and that one of the manifestations of this gift was through Ellen Gould White who was one of the pioneers of the church. Ellen White has acted as guiding light through the time that she was alive to this day. One wonders what this church would be like without her guidance which we believe she got  from the Lord.

Theres in no known recording of her sermons or speeches except for the testimonies of those who knew her personally. The best testimony you can ever get is from people with first hand information about you, people close to you. The people who know you when you are away from the spotlight.

Below is a video by some people who knew her or saw her. I hope that this video will strengthen your belief that God is still in the business of using some among us to be His prophets. And in the words of the bible I hope you shall "believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper" 2 Chronicles 20:20.

The Laodecian Message - Mark Finley

In the book of Revelation, the apostle John sees, through a vision, letters dictated to angels addressed to seven churches in Asia minor. One of those letters is addressed to the church of Laodecia. Most scholars have viewed these letters to not only apply to the churches mentioned that time but to span the history of  the christian church to very end of time. These churches represented the condition of the church throughout the ages to our time. Adventist scholars have came to the conclusion that the letter addressed to the church of Laodecia presents the condition of the church in the very last days of earth's history.

In the video below,  Pastor Mark Finley, Assistant to the President of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventist presents the interpretation of this letter to the church of Laodecia. The sermon is entitled, The Laodecian Message.

1844 Disappointment

In 1844, some American christian believers drawn from various evangelical churches came to the conclusion, based on their interpretation of Daniel 8:14, that Jesus Christ would come to earth on 22nd October 1844. Alas that day passed and Jesus didn't come. Why did Jesus not come on this day? Was there interpretation wrong and why did God not intervene to avoid the eventual embarrassment and disappointment that followed.

Daniel 8: 14 states, "unto two thousand three hundred days;  then shall the sanctuary be cleansed." These Christian believers following on from the principles that had been followed by the great reformers interpreted a  prophetic day to be equal to a year. So starting from 457 BC they calculated that these days would end on 22nd Oct. 1844. Their understanding was that the temple referred to in this verse was the earthly temple which they took to mean that that would be the end of the world.

In the following video Stephen Bohr addresses the issues sorrounding this 1844 disappointment.

Should We Talk To The Dead? Is It Biblical?

There are various mediums and other practitioners who claim to have access to the dead. I have heard of people who have allegedly spoken to their departed loved ones through these mediums. But what does the Bible say on talking to the dead. Should We talk to the dead and what are the dangers and benefits if any for those who do that?

In the video below  Steve Wohlberg, presents the biblical position on whether we should talk to the dead. It is a very informative video that goes behind the scenes to reveal the real source of these apparitions of the dead.
