Daniel 9:24-27 is certainly the most difficult passage to interpret in the book of Daniel (which is saying something!). It is also one of the most difficult passages to interpret in the entire Old Testament. Although some of the most important aspects of these verses can be agreed upon by all Christians, there are still highly debated portions that have a big impact on one's eschatology and really are worth laboring to understand better! You can watch the message here.

The resurrection body is... Reasonable (v 35-44) because of God's activity in nature. Certain (v 45-49) because of the work of the Last Adam.

Some Christians have been far too preoccupied with the Antichrist in church history. However, we do not want to be guilty of the opposite error of ignoring this individual altogether. The Apostle John warns us of "the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already" (1 John 4:3). You can watch the message here.

Jerry, Josh, and Grant continue walking us through what is perhaps the most important passage about the Gospel in all of Scripture.

Paul's life (v 16-21) Paul's teaching (v 22-23) The Jewish Response (v 24-27) To Be Continued... (v 28-31) “No unwelcome tasks become any the less unwelcome by putting them off till tomorrow. It is only when they are behind us and done, that we begin to find that there is a sweetness to be tasted afterwards, and that the remembrance of unwelcome duties unhesitatingly done is welcome and pleasant. Accomplished, they are full of blessing, and there is a smile on their faces as they leave us. Undone, they stand threatening and disturbing our tranquility, and hindering our communion with God. If there be lying before you any bit of work from which you shrink, go straight up to it, and do it at once. The only way to get rid of it is to do it." -Alexander MacLaren You can watch the message here.
