Live Long and Prosper - Part 3 - Linda Miller

In this episode, Linda Miller continues to talk about the importance of speaking God's word over your situations. She uses scriptural evidence to support God's desire for us to speak His word out loud - not to persuade God, because his promises are already 'Yes' and 'Amen' - but to convince ourselves and allow God's blessings to flow freely in our lives.

Linda Miller continues her teaching on the biblical principles of longevity and divine health, focusing on promises such as Psalm 91:16 and 3 John 1:2.

Using a personal testimony regarding a recent ankle injury, Linda demonstrates how immediate scriptural confession refutes the "lies" of sickness and fear.

Jesus, Judgment, and the End - Part 5 – This Generation and the New Kingdom - Dr. Darrell Simbeck

In the series finale, Dr. Darrell Simbeck tackles the definitive "time stamp" Jesus placed on His prophecies: "This generation shall not pass till all these things be fulfilled". This episode explores the cosmic imagery of the sun, moon, and stars as prophetic language for the falling of first-century nations and the rising of Christ’s eternal Kingdom.

In this episode, Dr. Darrell Simbeck examines the "Great Tribulation" mentioned in Matthew 24. He provides historical context for Jesus' warnings, explaining how they specifically applied to the first-century disciples and the Roman siege of Jerusalem.

Jesus, Judgment, and the End - Part 3 – The Signs of His Coming - Dr. Darrell Simbeck

In Part 3 of this series, Dr. Darrell Simbeck explores the "sign of the coming of the Son of Man". He addresses the common misconceptions surrounding the "End of the World" versus the "End of the Age," arguing that Jesus was specifically prophesying the close of the Old Covenant system and the physical destruction of the Temple in 70 AD.
The message highlights the historical significance of the "fireball" (Halley's Comet) seen over Jerusalem as a literal sign in the heavens, and the transition of Jesus from the suffering servant to the reigning High Priest. This episode is designed to move believers from a place of apocalyptic fear to a position of victory and faith in the finished work of Christ.
