This is the sixth installment in Eric’s Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from the Times of Nero. In this episode he demonstrates throughout the Biblical record (and even in the history of the Jews unrecorded in the Biblical record) a clear pattern of God’s divine purposefulness in allowing weakness in the men and nations He favors. And He does this in order to showcase His strength in and through that very weakness. With a Gideon-esque intentionality, He often will shrink down our earthly forces before He marshals His heavenly ones to fight on our behalf. And in so doing, He never fails to bring beauty out of ash. 

This is the fifth installment in Eric’s series entitled Spiritual Lessons from the Time of Nero. In this episode he discusses the profound nature of God’s Holy Presence and how there is a right and a wrong way to enter into it. He also shows how the presumptive entry into this Almighty Presence has led to many catastrophic outcomes throughout history. 

The good news is even greater news when seen in light of the bad news. Without knowing the sinful condition we are in apart from Christ, we will fail to understand our need for a Savior. In this study, Nathan examines the “bad news” of the Gospel — we are sinners deserving of judgment … and we desperately need salvation.

This is the fourth installment in Eric’s new series entitled, Spiritual Lessons from the Times of Nero. In this episode he dives into the deep end of Scripture and wrestles with the prophecies of Daniel, demonstrate how they set the stage beautifully for the arrival of the Mercy-Seat-sitting Jesus Christ. But, not just that—it’s the arrival of the Altar-Standing Jesus Christ, as well.  

This is the third installment in Eric’s exciting new summer series entitled, Spiritual Lessons from the Time of Nero. In this episode, he investigates the history of the Temple and explains how the work of Christ on the Cross was a clear departure from one temple system in order to establish a far superior temple system in the bodies of those that believe in Jesus Christ. 

If someone asked you to define and describe the Gospel, what would you say? In this introduction to his new series “The Grand and Glorious Gospel,” Nathan Johnson talks about the Gospel itself, the four key elements of it, and gives an overview of what we will cover in this series.

This is the second installment in Eric Ludy’s powerful and intriguing new summer series entitled Spiritual Lessons from the Time of Nero. In this episode, Eric lays the foundation for understanding this extraordinary time period of history (from 64 to 70 AD) and the way that knowing this human history can actually impact the lens that a student of Scripture wears in interpreting the text of the Book of Revelation. Utilizing a humorous misunderstanding regarding his possible employment at Starbucks, he unpacks the very real schism the Body of Christ today experiences over this apocalyptic vision. He also shows how it is actually quite reasonable to come to differing viewpoints on the matters in question inside this mysterious book. 

The time of Nero was an incredibly dark time in history; a time when people suffered under the rule of a madman and sadistic mass murderer. But there is also something that happened in the time of Nero that is absolutely extraordinary—something that can cause a believer’s soul to be stirred with great hope. The time of Nero was not just another oppressive memory on the calendar of antiquity—it was a profound season of punctuation to the work of Christ Jesus on the Cross. It was a time of fulfilled prophecy; a time when the Church of Jesus Christ emerged as an unstoppable force in this world. This is the first episode in this exciting Daily Thunder summer series. Let the adventure begin!

In this special Daily Thunder episode, Eric and Nathan sit down to reflect on the past season of Daily Thunder and discuss their exciting new summer series, which launches mid-June.

You have an aroma. And while it may be a stench to the world, it is a delightful fragrance to God. In this message, Nathan teaches from Ephesians 5:2 and discusses how our lives of love becomes an aroma of God to our world. This profound end to our series is a powerful reminder to clothe ourselves in Christ and allow Him to do in and through us the very thing we cannot do ourselves.
