February 22, 2024 Nate Holdridge

The fourth element of the millennium is that spiritual life will come to the nations. Israel won't be alone in its renewed spiritual life.

January 26, 2023 Nate Holdridge

In response to the disciples' confession and this new teaching about his death and resurrection, Jesus took three of his men to a mountaintop. Though we don't know the exact location of this event, it seems likely to be one of Mt. Hermon's peaks, around 9,000 feet in elevation. The other gospels tell us he went there to pray, and, as was their custom, they slept while he cried out to God. (5 Minutes/1100 Words)

Are You Anchored In God's Promise?

Archival Post

Hebrews 6:18 says we can "have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us." You might immediately think of a hope or a dream. As the author tells of Abraham and how he clung to God's promise, you might find the strength to hold onto promises you think God has personally made to you.
