Apantesis Jerome Wright

We often see/hear this phrase in the modern Christian community: "Jesus is coming back." As with most concepts in the Church, there's always a scripture reference to support. The most popular textual reference for the 'coming of Jesus' is Mat 24:1-3. In this episode, I will challenge you to take a second look at the narrative and ask if we can confidently say that Jesus is coming back in our lifetime or after. 

During the reign of Jeroboam and those kings who succeeded him, Israel became immersed in the doctrines of idolatry, such as the concept of demon possession. ~ The deception of this false spirituality so deluded Israel that they even took part in many of its dangerous rituals. The most extreme of which was the sacrifice of their children.

Since movies are still being made about the existence of demons, there remains some sense of relevance in our culture on this...and you'll find that a large number still believes in it - and so the ideology continues to inform people's thinking on the spiritual realm.  However, I found myself thinking more about God's perspective on spirituality. Asking, what did God teach in the scriptures about the spiritual realm? In this episode, we'll explore God's teachings on the spiritual realm and see for ourselves where demons fit in it.

The concept expressed in Luke 14:25-28 has been troubling for some people because it would seem at first glance that Jesus was teaching hate as a condition for discipleship. But was that the case? Tune in as I explore what Jesus truly meant when he used "hate" in his conversation with his disciples.

When Jesus and the 1st Century believers spoke of the last days, they were, in essence, referring to the closing days of an age that was coming to an end.
It was a time associated with ONLY the 12 tribes (Israel) in the 1st Century - the Roman Empire (Greco-Roman world) was not concerned or preoccupied with notions of the last days. In this episode, we’ll continue to explore how the 1st Century Christians believed they lived in the last days and at the end of the ‘world' or, more accurately, the 'end of the age.'

When something tragic happens: increased crime, senseless killings, or even natural disasters. You might hear someone say that we’re living in the last days. But are we living in the biblical Last Days? In this series, we’ll explore how the 1st Century Christians believed they were already in the last days and at the end of the ‘world.’
