He is the ultimate example of wisdom, because He is the embodiment of truth. Join us as we look at this passage and see how it can direct us in our daily living and decision making.
The Bible clearly lays out that there are two destinies possible for mankind. We face an eternity separated from God because of our sin. This destiny is in a place called the Lake of Fire, sometimes it is referred to as Hell. In spite of what modern Christianity will tell us, Hell is a real place, and it is the destiny of the lost. On the other hand, Believers have the promise of eternal bliss, living in the presence of our Creator, Sustainer and Savior.

The kingdom on earth will be an incredible time of living with Jesus Christ on the earth, and for believers, having the privilege of ruling and reigning with Him.

When this biblical truth is properly understood it makes so much of God's future plan for the world much clearer. As believers, it also gives us the great hope of Jesus's imminent return to take us to be with Him forever.
Today we continue our look at the future Seal judgments which will take place during the Tribulation. Contrary to popular belief the Tribulation does not begin with a war or some cataclysmic event, rather it begins with peace, a pseudo peace.

Today we continue our look at this dramatic scene in heaven that John was privy to after he was called to heaven. Here he sees Jesus, God the Son, taking the sealed scroll from the hand of the Father, indicating that He is responsible for the judgments to come. This results in an incredible scene of worship as Jesus is recognized for who He is. How should this effect our worship today- Join us as we look into this sometimes contentious issue of worship.
Today we continue our look at the differences between the church and the nation of Israel. In this we are showing that there is a reason why the church is excluded from the tribulation, and that Israel can expect judgment in its future.

Today we continue our look at the message to the church in Laodicea. Because this message contains no words of commendation some assume that these people are not saved. However, that is missing the point of the message, and the very profound counsel that we find here for Believers who are facing discouragement and indifference in their Christian life. Join us as we look into what the Word teaches about being faithful in the Christian life and how we can be spurred on to greater fruit bearing for the Lord.
In this lesson we look at Acts 10 and Peter's vision before he met with Cornelius.

The message itself begins after about 5 minutes or so of announcements and prayer requests.--In this lesson we begin our study of the message to the church in Laodicea. This church, more than any other is criticized by the Lord because of the indifference in serving Him.

As we study, we realize that this same message holds true for us today, and is a call for the church today to walk by faith in the God who saves us.

In this lesson we see many parallels between the judgments which took place in Exodus and those which will take place in the end times as described in Revelation.

Here we see that God will fulfill His many promises since He has so faithfully carried out His promises in the past.

In this lesson we look at how the skeptics attempt to explain the judgments which came on Egypt prior to the exodus of Israel. Here we see the futility of denying the truth of God's word and how He works in the world.
Today we continue our look at Bible history. Before we begin our verse-by-verse look at the book of Revelation we have to understand why the book was even written, we have to understand why God is bringing these judgments upon the earth.

In this lesson we continue our look at Revelation 3-10, which states that the church of Philadelphia is guaranteed to be kept from the hour of testing that is coming upon the whole world.

A proper understanding of the term -mystery- is essential to understanding how we can apply this truth to our lives in our most important relationship, marriage. The world treats marriage as a mystery, while the Bible is very clear about God's intention for marriage. Join us as we look into this incredibly important topic.
In this message we look at 1 Thessalonians 5 and other assorted passages. Here we see that God has not destined believers for wrath, therefore we should be living our lives for Him in faithfulness.

In this lesson we study Christ and the church, and how this relationship gives us the example for husbands and wives in marriage.
In this lesson we look at the role of the husband in marriage. As the head of the home, the man is designated by God to be the leader in the marriage relationship.

Join us as we look into the high calling of being a husband who loves his wife like Christ loved the church.

The book of Hebrews has a few passages that can be difficult to understand. One of those is Hebrews 10-26-31.

Today we continue looking at various passages which teach that the coming of the Lord is an imminent event. Imminency is a critical doctrine, in that it means that the Lord can return at any moment for His church, which motivates the Believer to godly living.
Join us for this message where we look into the purpose of the church in today's world. Is the church still relevant for the modern world- Yes it is, listen to this to see why.
In this lesson we continue our look at the letter to the Ephesians where Paul is encouraging the Believers to be faithful and walk in the Light that is Jesus Christ. Today we see how this message is still relevant to believers living in 21st century America- perhaps, even more so.

2020 was considered by many to be the worst year in their lifetimes. But, could things get even worse in the future- The Bible paints a picture of a time of extreme suffering before Christ comes again to establish His kingdom on earth. We at Flushing Bible Church wholeheartedly believe in the Pre-Tribulation Rapture- however, this belief does not exempt us from the truth that we may suffer persecution in America before the Rapture. It is incumbent upon us, as believers in Christ, to be prepared for this eventuality. Listen to this message to hear three keys which will help you prepare for suffering in this life.
Join us for this look at some of the interesting archaeological discoveries that have been made this year. These won't prove the validity of the Bible, but they give credence to the things that we read in Scripture.
