    Jesus Christ is coming again. He warns us to be ready for His coming. The countdown to the Rapture of the church has begun and we need to realize that “Ready or Not” - here He comes!

    Ready or Not – Here I Come 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Introduction: When I was a child we played the game of hide and seek. One person was “IT” and they were the seeker, or person who would look for the other players who ran and hid. “IT” stood at the designated home ...read more

    Caught Up, But When? Series

    Some men have read into the second coming texts, distinctions that show the difference between the rapture and what they call the "revelation." The Bible knows no such distinctions.

    6. SUPPOSED DISTINCTIONS It is disappointing to read the works of men that are normally trustworthy in their treatment of Scripture, when it comes to their promotion of a pre-tribulation rapture. Consider our brother Dave Hunt, no lightweight in the Word. Over and over his publications define ...read more

    This message is designed for someone that the preacher knows fairly well so they can fill in details of their life in the middle section. It is a celebration of their life that ends with a turn toward eternity.

    Message As we’ve come to this service, we embark on that march that David describes as the “walk through the valley of the shadow of death.” What do you do when you are hit with the hard reality of life and death? How do you continue to put one foot in front of the other when ...read more

    Many predictions have been made about when Jesus will come back, but the Word teaches us that no one knows the hour or day of his appearing. We must not fall asleep, at anytime since tomorrow is not promised. We should keep our eyes open, and live a good christian life, by obeying the Word. ...read more

     | 9,368 views

    The 2nd coming of Christ is a major theme in the Bible. In 2 Tim. 4:8 Paul talked about the reward that awaits “all who have loved His appearing.” Do I love and eagerly await the coming of the Lord? This sermon explores 4 characteristics of those who do.

    Do I Long for Christ’s Coming? 2 Tim.2:7-8 Richard Tow 8/14/16 In 2 Tim. 4:7 Paul was approaching the end of his life. He has been imprisoned by Nero and knows that he will be executed.1 He writes in verse 7, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 ...read more

    In prophecies about the falls of and Jerusalem and (figuratively) Babylon, actually separated by centuries, the writers said that the voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard any longer in each city. What did these prophecies mean?

    Note: There is a companion sermon to this one, titled THE VOICE OF THE BRIDE. I preached them on two consecutive worship assemblies, with this sermon being first, and THE VOICE OF THE BRIDE, following shortly afterward. Both sermons are on Sermon Central.
