    Hurry Up And Wait

    Contributed by Richard L. Brown on Dec 7, 2017

    This is a sermon about the second coming of Christ. It asks the question, "if God somehow came to you and told you the world would end tomorrow, how would you change your life?"

    Hurry Up and Wait! 2 Peter 3:8-15 Sunday 12/10/17 The Second Sunday in Advent One of the most frustrating things I know is to travel on an airplane. What I hate about it is that you find yourself in a helpless cycle of Hurry Up and Wait. You know what I mean? You must be at the ...read more

    Both Peter and Paul raise the same question: what should we be doing when … not ‘if’ but ‘when’ … the Lord appears? How do you want Him to find you? Vigilant? Full of hope and expectation? Prepared? Ready to greet Him? Or scoffing? Asleep?

    [Hold up cell phone.] Yep … we talked a little bit about this handy device last week. More accurately, we talked about one of the apps … the GPS. But there is another little handy app that I use all the time to help me plan my day … The Weather Channel’s Ten Day Weather app which, as the name ...read more

    A small country church was going through some difficult times financially.

    The pastor stood before the congregation, and said, “As all of you know, we need a very large offering today! The person who gives the largest offering will be able to choose three hymns.” They received the offering, and someone had placed a one thousand-dollar check in the offering plate. He was ...read more

    Have you ever asked or trusted the Lord for something; and you fully expected He would give it to you. But instead, what response you receive from the Lord is to be patient?

    The Lord’s Patience Is Only Giving Us Extra Time To Be Saved

    Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on May 17, 2021
     | 1,894 views

    This is an exposition of 2 Peter 3 as we learn not to become swayed by scoffers who cast doubts in our minds about the return of Jesus Christ. Jesus is coming as He promised; what seems like a delay is only a chance for us to repent. In the mean time, we should live godly as we await His return.

    1. In the last days, there will be scoffers (v. 3) 2. The scoffers will be following their own evil (sinful) desires (v. 3) 3. They will mock the promise of the coming of Jesus Christ saying “Where is the promise of His coming?” they will ask. “Ever since our fathers fell asleep, everything ...read more

    If the Bible were not to teach the Second Coming of Christ, then you would be left with a potentially endless cycle where things would simply go round and round. Your view of the end of time can have a profound effect on how you live your life in the present.

    We conclude this sermon series entitled Creed by examining the Bible’s teaching of the Second Coming of Jesus. If you were to travel to Rome to see Michelangelo’s fresco in the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican City, you would no doubt gaze at the iconic and best-known picture of the Sistine Chapel – ...read more

    Today, we want to look at the scoffer. The word "scoffer" is not a word that we use in our everyday language, so let me tell you what it means. It refers to a person who will mock you; make fun of you or what you believe.

    Introduction: The last time that I was in this podium, I spoke about how deception does not just stay static; it develops a life of its own and that life cycle takes it from bad to worse. For example, deception may lead a person to sin, but the usual response is that a person experiences remorse ...read more

    Let me show you. These words appear in Peter’s great chapter on the second coming of Christ. Peter was telling us some of the things that would occur before Christ’s second coming. -In verses 3-4 he tells us there will be scoffers. We read, “Knowing this first, that there shall come in the ...read more

    We are all tasked with something to do for God; some things seem small and insignificant when taken at face value while others seem like a massive undertaking. The truth is, all things are of eternal importance when it comes to what God is calling us to do.
