    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 27, 2018
     | 4,715 views

    Meteorologists aren't always right but when a disaster like Hurricane Florence is looming they will be sure to let you know. We as Christians should be expecting the return of Christ and the cooresponding Day of The LORD which will follow. We should be letting people know as well!

    If you would, please stand as we say together our memory Scripture for this quarter: Matthew 6:31-33 “Do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ...read more

    The world seems to be in a terrible mess. The cry screams for peace and safety... but Jesus extends an INVITATION to know his heart. The good news is the bad news is not the truth.

    HEAR THE CRY FOR PEACE AND SAFETY? INVITATIONS? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com This is more than one part lesson.

    Encourage One Another!

    Contributed by Hans Krause on Nov 17, 2018

     | 12,904 views

    We don't know when Jesus will come again, or whether we will die before that and go to meet our Savior. We do know that we should be wide awake and ready 24/7 for that encounter. And to that end, we are called to encourage one another rather than to incite fear and panic.

    Do you believe that Jesus will one day come back from where he has gone? Do you believe that there is actually going to be a point of time in our history, or better: in our future, when God will intervene in the flow of history in a way that will have a cosmic impact? Let’s have a show of hands: ...read more

    Paul wants to make it perfectly clear that he doesn’t know when the Lord is returning to earth, nor does anyone else. We will note five things about this passage for this study.

Paul said he didn’t want us to be ignorant of what is going to happen even though many Christians are. He has explained how the dead in Christ will rise first and then we who are living Christians at ...read more

    God commands us to "Encourage one another". This is such a vital concept ithat God not only expects us to do it for His church, He shows us how to do it. What has God done to encourage us, and how can we obey Him in doing the same for His people?
