We know that the Bible teaches this world is coming to an end. At the end of this world, God will pour out His judgment upon the earth for 7 years. This is called the Tribulation Period.
The big questions that is often debated is, "Will Christians go through the Tribulation Period?" This study will walk you through 9 Biblical points that will show that Christians will NOT go through this 7 years of tribulation.

Women riding many-headed beasts? Talking eagles? Many-faced creatures that sing on a sea made of glass? The Book of Revelation can be confusing, and even a little frightening.
Although we often focus on the prophetic nature of the Revelation, it is meant to give hope to believers in every age. Let's study this often-misunderstood part of the Bible.

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Jude 1:15-25 (Jude 1:4, 15-25; Philippians 2:1-7 & 13-14; Romans 8:16)
What comes to mind when you think of spiritual warfare?
We often think of flaming swords battling against evil forces that come in the form of demons. It is definitely true that there are demons and evil forces around it, but spiritual warfare can be much more subtle that you think.
Jude finishes his letter and concludes with us how to fight and win in this battle for truth.
Bible study description:
Contend...that's a strong word! Truth is being attacked and our calling is to fight for truth!
We call out lies and stand firm on what is right. Jude is passionate about this subject and displays his passion through this short, but powerful book.

Jude teaches us to contend for the faith, but it also addresses some intriguing subjects.
In Jude 9 we read about a fight between Michael, the archangel, and Satan over the body of Moses. This is an odd passage that opens up some really interesting studies. This is actually a really cool study that gives us some insights to the spiritual war that is happening around us every day.

How does someone actually become a missionary? What steps do they have to take? Take a listen as we deep dive into the behind-the-scenes of missionary work.
Missions 2022
Jesus has given His church a mission to accomplish. Throughout October, we will be inspired, challenged, and blessed as we focus our attention on reaching the world with the gospel.
When it comes to the mission of preaching the gospel to every person in the world, what would God have you do? We are praying for our church family that every person would humbly tell God, “I’ll go anywhere.” God calls us to surrender to His priorities and re-arrange our lives for His mission.
