This past Sunday, August 16th, 2015 – a Scottish man claiming to be a prophet ascended the steps in Grace Community Church and openly rebuked John MacArthur for his doctrine of cessationism.

The Bible Project – You will want to bookmark this ministry and perhaps stay connected with them through social media (FB | YouTube).

I noticed a few things that I would not agree with in a couple of their videos that I’ve viewed, but just as with reading books – you watch with discernment and evaluate through the biblical lens. These videos have great potential for teaching children.
