Idolatry has been prevalent since the beginning of world history, but Revelation 13 tells us that it will reach its detestable zenith at the end of world history. This lesson takes you to that tragic scene.
What will the world be like under the rule of the antichrist? What kind of king will he be? Will he be a cruel tyrant or a shrewd diplomat? This message searches John's Revelation for answers.
This lesson from Hebrews 11:3 emphasizes that God is the ultimate and original Hero of the faith. It affirms that the universe was created by God's word, not through visible processes or random chance. Faith in God as Creator provides answers to life’s deepest questions—origin, purpose, morality, and destiny. The lesson challenges believers to trust God's power, design, and sustaining Word, while rejecting the confusion and hopelessness of a godless worldview. Faith in the Creator offers clarity, purpose, and eternal hope.
This lesson from Luke 22:63-71 examines the unlawful trials of Jesus, exposing the corruption and injustice of the religious and legal systems. Despite facing false accusations, illegal proceedings, and physical abuse, Jesus remained composed, affirming His divine identity as the Son of God. His trials fulfilled God’s sovereign plan, highlighting His obedience and the immense cost of redemption for humanity. The lesson challenges believers to pursue justice, trust in God’s plan during unjust circumstances, and live in gratitude for the hope and victory found in Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection.
This lesson from Revelation 9 describes the terrifying consequences of the fifth and sixth trumpet judgments. The release of demonic locusts from the Abyss torments unbelievers for five months, revealing the true nature of evil spirits. The sixth trumpet unleashes four fallen angels and a demonic army that kills a third of humanity. Despite these judgments, people refuse to repent, clinging to idolatry, immorality, and rebellion against God. The lesson warns of sin’s hardening effect and urges believers to trust in Christ’s mercy before judgment falls.
No one ever lives a life of holiness by accident. It happens on purpose. It comes through discipline and obedience to the Spirit of God, which is a daily, moment-by-moment battle. Are you in the fight?
This lesson from Hebrews 11:36–40 highlights believers who lived faithfully in the shadows—facing mockery, persecution, poverty, and even martyrdom. Unlike earlier heroes who saw visible victories, these saints endured suffering and rejection without receiving the promises in their lifetime. Yet, they are praised for their unwavering faith. The chapter reminds us that true faith is not measured by earthly success but by perseverance, trust in God’s character, and hope in eternal reward. Their story—and ours—isn’t over until God writes the final word.
