• 10 Reasons Why a Pretribulational Rapture, Part 1 (Selected Scriptures)
    Sep 7 2025

    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.

  • Restoration Money (Revelation)
    Aug 24 2025

    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.

  • A Transformed Ethic of Money, Part 2 (Selected Scriptures)
    Aug 17 2025

    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.

    Aug 10 2025

    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.
