In today's third and final session on the church in Sardis, Craig and LaDonna complete their illustrations of Christ's words in Revelation as being for all time and for all churches around the world. Those illustrations had to do with Pastor Tony Evans and the Christianity Today magazine, and Christ's words about Sardis portraying itself as being alive by yet in the eyes of Christ, they were dead. In order to understand how Pastor Evans and the magazine relate to that, you have to...

Today, Craig and LaDonna Smith return to their teaching series on Christ's words to the seven churches in Asia Minor. Their focus today, and in in a few more episodes to come, is the church in Smyrna, found in Revelation 2:8-11. Smyrna is only one of two churches of the seven that received commendation from Christ, and no condemnation from Him. The Smiths walk us all through the highlights of this church, including the fact that they were a persecuted church, which brought p...

Craig and LaDonna Smith's multi-episode review of the reasons they are committed to the Premillennial, Pretribulation rapture position continues as they present a timely article written by Dr. David Jeremiah title, "The Battle of Armageddon." It is one of the most concise yet thorough overviews of this much misunderstood battle described in the Scriptures and that Hollywood has often times attempted to create movies that can't hold a candle to the clear and compelling description God's ...

Today Craig and LaDonna takes a brief break from the seven churches in Revelation 2&3 to provide an all-important review of where they stand on the issue of the Rapture, Second Coming of Christ, the Great Tribulation Period, the Millennial reign of Christ on earth, the Great White Throne Judgement and the eternal state promised in God's Holy Word. They do so because of the recent growth of the Indigenous Faith podcast both in the United States and around the world. The Smiths ...

Today, Craig and LaDonna continue their study of Jesus' words to the seven churches in Asia Minor in Revelation 2-3. Realizing the importance of what Christ said, they had no option but to address the issue of abortion in our modern culture. The sacrifice of children to demonic pagan idols goes as far back as the Old Testament, and is strongly condemned by Jesus Christ. Without mincing words, they strongly present the biblical case that it's not simply a "social issue" calle...

Today Craig and LaDonna Smith wrap up there expository look into Revelation 1. They remind us that while they hold strongly to the literal interpretation of Scripture, they leave room for imagery, illustrations, etc., that are metaphorically presented to help Bible students realize just what the scripture is saying. They speak on this as this chapter provides some of that kind of text. The end of the chapter is filled with imagery of the Savior of heaven and earth as John sa...

Not only does today mark another year of the Indigenous Faith broadcast, it marks the beginning of a new series in our continued study of eschatology. Today we launch an in-depth study into the last book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation. In a multiple part series, Craig and LaDonna begin to unpackage the first chapter of this amazing book and attempt to put the cookies on the bottom shelf by simplifying what this book has to say about end times. We will be going through ...
