Revelation 21 & 22 reveal God's ultimate purposes. But they are so far beyond our comprehension that they are expressed in poetic language, that inspires and excites us.

Deb's impressions are partly expressed through the MercyMe song "I can only imagine." (The video and song are deleted from this recording for copyright reasons.)

Introduction I began to name this the ‘Bible Person Study’, but chose to go with the ‘Bible Character Study’. I hesitated to name it that, as I don’t want to diminish the fact that these are real people we’ll be examining.

Introduction: We all love a good show!

The Supreme Question As most of you know I am a California boy. The strange weather, the fires and earthquakes that can be shocking to many people here are all quite normal for a Californian.

Public Piety vs. Private Audience Baseball is back! I have always loved baseball. There is nothing quite like the sound of the crack of the bat to announce that Spring has arrived.
