    The Story of The Shunammite Woman - A Great Woman

    Join us on this episode as we dissect the impactful story of a powerful woman from Shunem highlighted in 2 Kings chapter 4, verses 8 through 17. Delve into the life of a remarkable individual who, with her faith, generosity, and hospitality towards the prophet Elisha, has given us a striking example of God’s mindfulness and provision for His people.
    In this engaging analysis, we uncover the cultural implications of the Shunammite woman’s actions, the importance of her interaction with a man of God, and how her deep faith intertwines with the larger Biblical narrative. Going beyond her personal story, we also investigate God’s consistency and faithfulness, and how it reflects in the story of this unnamed woman who showed exemplary faith and servitude.
    This episode will take you on a journey exploring how serving God with generosity, humility, and submission can lead to joy and blessings, despite the challenges we face today. The Shunammite woman's story is a glowing testament to her character, her value for her community, and her contentment in her people, despite receiving no recognition in return for her tireless service. She was eventually rewarded with the birth of a son, proof of God's miraculous powers and the veracity of His prophetic words.
    Nevertheless, real-life tests may come to bring us back to the Lord and cause us to live in a closer relationship with Him. The woman's trust in God remains steadfast, even after the death of her beloved son who was revived through God's divine intervention. This compelling tale teaches us critical lessons in trusting God’s sovereignty even in hopeless situations and serves as a beacon of hope for individuals grappling with their faith in challenging times. Listen today to revel in the transformative power of faith and God’s loving provision.

    Who Could Be Dumber Than The Rocks - Luke 19:28-40

    Who Could Be Dumber Than The Rocks - Luke 19:28-40

    In this episode we examine the fascinating account of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, fulfilling multiple prophecies of the Old Testament.  In Luke's Gospel account, he gives us amazing insight into the Deity of Jesus and how many people of that day were impacted by His ministry and miracles.  As Jesus prepares to enter into Jerusalem, riding on a colt of a donkey, He is the King, although His purpose is to fulfill the Father's plan.  In a short four days, as this corresponds with the "Paschal Lamb" Jesus will die upon a cruel cross, dying that God's wrath might 'passover' those that accept His divine sacrifice.
    Join us as we delve deeply into the meaning of the passage and what has led to this point.  Jesus, on the 'preparation day' before Passover, becomes God's Lamb to take away the sin of the world, to as many as receive Him.  We also see those, blinded by their religious fury, that reject Him, even with multiple evidences of His divine origin, and become, dumber than the rocks!  Don't join those that refuse the proof at hand and be dumber than the rocks!

    Understanding Our Day and The Day of The Lord - Remastered

    Understanding Our Day and The Day of The Lord - Remastered

    In this latest episode of the School of Ministry podcast, join us as we embark on an eye-opening journey into understanding current world events through the lens of biblical prophecy. This comprehensive study leads us through the informative fifth chapter of 1 Thessalonians where we consider global happenings - from political shifts in Israel to controversies within Islam and worldwide violence. The exploration continues as we delve further into whether these events are prophesied in the Bible and evaluate our role during these turbulent times.
    As the teachings of Apostle Paul to the Thessalonians come under the lens, we aim to underline the intensity of sin, impending wrath, and divine judgement. However, this introspection is not lacking compassion, kindness, and the act of sharing the Gospel, revealing a compelling message of deliverance through Christ. Journey with us into the detailed analysis of the 'Day of The Lord,' as we make sense of its consequences in relation to the much-anticipated event we call 'the rapture.'
    The fact of the rapture, the sequence leading to The Day of the Lord, and its eventual unfolding form the crux of the narrative. Learn from the Apostle Paul's teachings as this discourse shifts from the 'when' of these divine events to the 'inevitability' of their occurrence and underscores the emphasis on continuous preparation and anticipation.
    This sermon spans from 2nd Thessalonians to the Book of Daniel and expands on impending global upheavals, the rise of the antichrist, and false prophetic claims. Scenarios like widespread apostasy, the surge of demonic influences, and celestial disruptions are explored in this fascinating interpretation of predicted events. The podcast concludes with the urgent message for believers to remain alert, maintain spiritual readiness, share the Gospel, and cherish a simple yet meaningful faith.
    Gain in-depth knowledge about end-time prophecies, the importance of evangelization, and cultivate an understanding of living in anticipation of the Lord's return. A profound examination of the word of God, the 'Day of the Lord,' and its alignment with current world events forms the basis of this essential episode.

    This study helps us understand the symbolism and representation of world history through the four dominant kingdoms: Babylon, Media-Persia, Greece, and Rome and their alternate depiction as unique metals and animals based on Daniel's visions.
    This episode probes into the interpretations of the figurative symbolism represented by the ten horns, the iron and clay feet, and the rock made without hands in the prophecies. Navigate through the complex history of the Roman Empire, the potential revival of the Roman Empire as the final empire leading to Jesus's second coming as the King of Kings.
    Listen to the end-time events and outcomes for humanity. View these prophecies not merely as ancient records but understand their relevance to present-day situations. This episode ultimately encourages listeners to uphold their faith irrespective of the impending troubles in the world.
