David Forsyth presents compelling biblical evidence in support of a pretribulational rapture position. This comprehensive study examines why Scripture teaches that the church will be delivered from the wrath to come before the seven-year tribulation period begins. The pretribulational rapture doctrine preserves the biblical concept of imminence and provides genuine comfort to believers. Christians are not destined for God's eschatological wrath, and a careful examination reveals distinct differences between the Rapture and the Second Coming of Christ. This doctrinal position aligns with Kootenai Community Church's statement of faith and reflects careful exegesis of key biblical passages.

Simon Pranaitis explores the use of money for the glory of God in his conclusion to the fourteen-week "Proof of Work" series. In this final lesson, we explore how money is God’s good gift, designed to help us fulfill His purposes in our work and community. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture reveals that money is neither evil nor ultimate, but a tool to be stewarded faithfully under God’s sovereignty. We address lingering questions about debt, tithing, and the role of gold and silver, showing how biblical principles guide our financial decisions. Above all, we are called to use money wisely and generously, doing all things to the glory of God.

Simon Pranaitis calls believers to be faithful stewards as he explores money's role throughout Revelation's prophetic timeline. Revelation teaches that money cannot protect anyone from God's judgment, yet it can be redeemed for His glory in the eternal kingdom. During tribulation, the wealthy find no refuge from divine wrath, while believers face economic persecution. However, faithful stewards can anticipate Christ's millennial kingdom where resurrected saints reign with perfect government and abundant prosperity.

The eternal kingdom reveals nations bringing treasures into New Jerusalem, demonstrating how faithful stewards participate in God's ultimate plan. This prophetic vision transforms how faithful stewards approach finances today in a world marked by both poverty and excess. Understanding this eternal perspective helps faithful stewards live with joyful anticipation, knowing God reigns forever and believers reign with Him in the coming kingdom where all things are restored according to His perfect design.

Simon Pranaitis explores how believers demonstrate a transformed money ethic through four essential practices. First, Christians live hospitably to strangers, opening homes and resources for gospel work as commanded in Romans 12. Additionally, believers contribute cheerfully to those in need outside their local body, following the example of the Macedonian churches who gave joyfully despite deep poverty. Furthermore, the transformed money ethic includes esteeming church leadership highly through generous financial support, recognizing their diligent labor as worthy of double honor. Finally, believers receive the privilege of supporting church planters and missionaries faithfully, enabling full-time gospel ministry. This transformed money ethic flows from hearts changed by the gospel, demonstrating God's generous love through practical stewardship. When believers embrace these principles, they work diligently, save wisely, and give generously, reflecting Christ's sacrificial example, who became poor so that others might become rich.

A transformed money ethic reveals how God fundamentally changes believers' approach to finances through New Testament teaching. This transformed money ethic teaches Christians to work diligently rather than live undisciplined lives, expecting others to provide for them. Moreover, believers develop a transformed money ethic that cultivates contentment regardless of circumstances, trusting God's provision instead of loving money. Additionally, this transformed money ethic requires faithful care for family needs, including parents and grandparents, demonstrating true Christian character. Finally, a transformed money ethic motivates generous giving to church members and practicing hospitality, as these financial behaviors become visible expressions of the gospel at work within believers.

Simon Pranaitis examines Jesus' teachings on money through Luke 12:34, exploring how to treasure your heart properly. Furthermore, the message reveals Jesus used money wisely while correcting those who misplaced their treasure, their heart priorities. Additionally, Christ's teachings demonstrate that biblical stewardship requires balancing earthly provision with eternal perspective. Therefore, believers must examine where they treasure their hearts through their financial choices, ensuring their hearts align with Christ's kingdom rather than worldly accumulation.

This message unpacks a biblical view of taxation by examining key Scriptures on government authority and money. Using passages from Matthew, Romans, and 1 Peter, Simon Pranaitis examines how Christians should respond to unjust taxes while maintaining submission for the sake of conscience. The biblical view of taxation reveals God’s design for limited governmental authority and reminds believers to steward money as God’s property. This biblical view of taxation challenges both the heart and habit.
