FAMILY BIBLE STUDY SERIES ON THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW

There is no shortage of misunderstanding and misinformation being spread about the End Times. Steve has studied biblical prophecy for over two decades. In today’s episode, he aims to shed light on the dangers of pulling just one verse from scripture and cautions against listening to some other so-called experts on biblical prophecy. We hope you’ll find understanding with Steve’s ‘whole picture’ approach to teaching.

Steve references our companion show, Luke21 Radio, which is a show all about biblical prophecy from the teachings of the Catholic Church in the tradition of St. Augustine.
