God’s Future, Your Present… End times and us today - Rev Dr John Griffiths Part 2

What if we've been getting resurrection all wrong? Instead of some cosmic escape hatch from a doomed planet, what if it's actually God's way of saying, "I'm not done with this world yet"? Pentecostal scholar Rev Dr John Griffiths and Pastor Ben Teefy reveal how Pentecost’s outpouring of the Spirit on “all flesh” stretches past people to the whole ecosystem, turning stewardship into core Christian mission. That "trash the planet, we're getting raptured" theology? It's crumbling. Even if the Earth...

God’s Future, Your Present… End times and us today - Rev Dr John Griffiths Part 1

God’s Future, Your Present… End times and us today Ep4

“Eternal life” isn’t an after-death ticket but the life of the age to come—available right now. Ben Teefy, Bethany Thompson and Jason Aitchison trace the thread from Daniel 7‒12 to John 10:10, showing how Jesus’ resurrection already kicked off “the beginning of the end”. That future wholeness—justice, healing, shalom—becomes today’s playbook: cross the road like the Good Samaritan, spend your own coin on broken neighbours and leave love in your wake. Every act of mercy turns you into an air-con ...
