If God’s prophets were meant to be peculiar, John the Baptist did not disappoint. Eccentric is too mild a description for this wilderness dwelling preacher who wore odd clothes and lacked both a sense of tact and a balanced diet. His message, though, was right in step with a long line of prophetic predecessors. He called for Israel’s repentance and baptized the penitent in the Jordan River.

The End of Time
March 31, 2019 • Mark Ashton • Revelation
Of the original apostles, only John remained to hear these words. He had experienced the climax of salvation history, but God was not yet finished. He had one more message to share with John and the growing churches to show His servants what must soon take place.
Paul’s Final Days
March 24, 2019 • Glenn Lawson • Acts
While visiting church in Europe and Asia Minor, Paul takes an offering for the poor in Jerusalem. He wants to bring back the offering in person, even if it means facing former colleagues with old scores to settle—the Pharisees. Sure enough, they have him arrested. Paul, a Roman citizen, exercises his legal rights and appeals to Rome. He is going to plead his case—and preach the gospel—to the most powerful man on earth. [Paul remained keenly focused on being faithful to the end of the mission Jesus gave him.]
