Sharing the Gospel, Strengthening Believers
Through clear Bible teaching and the message of Jesus Christ, we seek to reach the lost and help believers grow strong in their faith.
Folks, something grabbed me as I was reading through “The Acts of the Apostles” and want to share it with you. When the disciples stood on the Mount of Olives and watched Jesus go up into the cloud, the Scripture records a quiet but important moment. “And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, ‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven’” (Acts 1:10-11, NKJV).

God’s Promise, Our Inheritance, and the Coming Kingdom

Now, as we come to 1 Samuel chapter 6, we find the Philistines ready to send the Ark of the Covenant back to Israel. They had held it for seven months, and the hand of the Lord had been heavy upon them. Their god Dagon had fallen before the Ark, and the people had been struck with painful swellings. Rats had also come and ravaged their land. So their priests and diviners told them not to send the Ark back empty. They were to return it with a trespass offering of five golden tumours and five golden rats.
