Who is the Antichrist? In this captivating breakout session, Stephen Armstrong pieces together a comprehensive and sobering biblical profile of the future "Man of Lawlessness." Moving beyond sensationalism and speculation, this teaching delves into key prophecies from Daniel, Thessalonians, and Revelation to unmask the figure who will dominate the world stage during the tribulation.

Armstrong provides a clear, step-by-step examination of the Antichrist's identity and timeline, answering critical questions such as:

• • What is the difference between "the Antichrist" and the many "antichrists" John mentions?

  • How does Daniel's 70-week prophecy pinpoint his arrival on the world stage?

  • What are his ultimate goals, and how will he counterfeit Christ to achieve them?

  • What is the source of his supernatural power, and what is the counterfeit trinity?

  • How will a shocking "fatal wound" and "resurrection" deceive the entire world?

  • What is the true meaning behind the name and the number 666?

  • How will his reign of terror ultimately be brought to a swift end?

This session offers a vital look into God's sovereign plan, equipping believers to understand the signs of the times and to find security in Christ's ultimate victory.

This sermon provides an in-depth exposition of Exodus chapters 22 and 23, focusing on the civil laws given by God to Israel. Pastor Stephen Armstrong explains the principles of restitution, the protection of the vulnerable (strangers, widows, orphans), and the commands that set Israel apart from pagan cultures. Highlighting the prophetic symbolism embedded within these laws—from the mandatory festivals to the Sabbath for the land—the message demonstrates how the entire legal code was designed to reveal God's holy character and point a nation toward their coming Messiah.

The Lord moves from the "big ten" into a collection of specific statutes, or a "bill of rights," to guide Israel in building a civil and godly society. In this powerful study of Exodus 21, Pastor Stephen Armstrong navigates some of the Old Testament's most challenging and often misunderstood laws, including those on slavery and the "eye for an eye" principle of proportional justice. Discover the key distinctions between slavery in the ancient Near East and its modern corruptions, and learn how God’s law provided surprising and compassionate rights to servants, protected pregnant women, and established a principle of limited—not retaliatory—retribution. This lesson is essential for reconciling Old Testament law with New Testament grace.

In this insightful message from the 2014 Growing in Grace and Truth Bible Conference, Stephen Armstrong of Verse by Verse Ministry International confronts the fear, confusion, and skepticism that often surround the topic of "The Last Days." He argues that a proper understanding of biblical prophecy is not meant to be a source of anxiety, but is instead God's intended antidote—a deep well of comfort, hope, and peace for the believer.

Tackling the common objections head-on, Armstrong examines why many Christians either dismiss eschatology as unknowable speculation or shy away from it out of fear. He then provides a clear and compelling exposition of 1 Thessalonians chapters 4 and 5 to demonstrate that these passages, far from being terrifying, are filled with encouragement.

This lecture carefully unpacks:

• • The crucial distinction between the "Appearing" of Christ for the Church (the Rapture) and the "Day of the Lord" (the Tribulation).

  • Why the Christian's hope is rooted in the promise of being saved from the wrath to come.

  • How an understanding of the end times is foundational, not optional, for Christian maturity and is the key to living a peaceful, powerful, and effective witness in a chaotic world.

  • The reason Paul concludes his teaching on both the Rapture and the Tribulation with the command: "Therefore, comfort one another with these words."

If you have ever felt apprehensive about studying the end times or wondered about its relevance, this message will reframe your perspective, replacing fear with the profound comfort and steadfast hope found in the promises of God.

The final four commandments form the bedrock of civil society and reveal the foundation for a healthy heart before God. But how do we live by them in the age of grace? In this in-depth look at Exodus 20, Pastor Stephen Armstrong breaks down the biblical definitions of adultery, theft, false witness, and coveting, demonstrating how the Law of Christ fulfills and expands them to an even higher standard. Learn why marriage is indivisible in God's eyes, how stealing includes "sordid gain," and how the command against false witness covers all forms of destructive speech. Finally, discover the essential wisdom of contentment, a vital virtue in a culture drowning in temptation.

The third through fifth commandments may seem simple on the surface, but they lay the groundwork for God's entire relationship with His people and form the essential structure for any healthy society. In this teaching on Exodus 20, Pastor Stephen Armstrong goes beyond the literal words to reveal their profound spiritual applications in the "Law of Christ." Discover why taking the Lord's name in vain encompasses so much more than just careless speech and how our Sabbath rest has been perfectly fulfilled in Christ. Finally, learn how honoring parents became the bedrock command upon which Israel's national survival depended, a principle with urgent implications for families and the church today.

As God begins to reveal His commands at Sinai, a fundamental shift takes place. But what was the true purpose of a Law no one could perfectly keep? In this critical introduction to the Ten Commandments, Pastor Stephen Armstrong breaks down one of the most foundational—and misunderstood—topics in scripture. Discover why the Mosaic Law must be seen as an indivisible unit, why it could never provide personal righteousness, and why its ultimate theological purpose was to create the perfect conviction of sin. This sermon then draws a clear, powerful line from the law written on stone tablets to the law of liberty written on the believer's heart, establishing a necessary framework to understand why, in Christ, we are subject not to the law of Moses, but to the greater law of Christ.

What was the true purpose of the Law given to Moses at Sinai? Was it merely a set of rules for Israel, or does it hold a deeper, unchanging truth for believers today? In this crucial "Introduction to the Law," Pastor Stephen Armstrong tackles some of the most misunderstood aspects of the Old Testament. This foundational teaching breaks down the Law into its theological, national, and personal purposes, explaining why the Ten Commandments cannot be separated from the other 603 commands. Discover why God instituted a system that was impossible to keep, what it reveals about His perfect holiness, and how a right understanding of the Law powerfully reveals our absolute need for the grace found only in Christ. This is an essential lesson before delving into the Ten Commandments themselves.
