Scripture: Ezekiel 1, Revelation 4

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Series: Heaven: Land of the Free and Home of the Saved

Synopsis: In this message we look at the OT book that provides us with the most vivid and detailed scene of Heaven and the visions of God. We also look at a NT book that gives information very similar in detail to what the OT reveals! What we find is that language fails us to adequately describe the beauty and splendor of Heaven. Here are two key truths that are revealed about it!

Scripture: 2 John 1:4–6

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Series: The Epistles of John: Fellowship Provided, Possessed and Protected

True Love; Love Truth, Part 1

Scripture: 2 John 1:1–5

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Series: The Epistles of John: Fellowship Provided, Possessed and Protected

Synopsis: Our culture has its own definition of "love" and "truth" which are contrary to God's. Is there any connection between these two concepts? If so, what is it? If we are to have a vibrant, well-balanced Christian character, these two characteristics of God must be expressed as He intended. Both of these virtues are also essential for a well-balanced, healthy Church ministry and come from only one source.
