    Will You Be Ready?

    Contributed by Scott Nichols on Jan 18, 2019
     | 12,945 views

    What if in the next moment - even as my words fall upon your ears - Christ returned with the shout of the archangel and the trumpet blast? "Faithful and true would He find us here, if He should come today?" Would you be ready?

    The hymn we have just sung asks a pointed question. A question that I fear too often we dismiss in our daily lives. With all the concerns of living in the present moment - with all of the accompanying joys or frustrations - we fail to give much thought to the final moment. That moment when time, as ...read more

    Are we actually doing what God tells us?

    In our passage this morning, Jesus tells a parable. A parable is simply a story with a lesson. Open your Bibles to Mark 12…. We will learn from v1-12 today. But first take a quick look back to Mark 11:18… We have noted in earlier chapters of Mark that the Jewish Religious leaders have been ...read more

    I this message I deal with the fact that God accepts us exactly where we are and uses whatever we have for his glory. This is a profound teaching by Jesus. The kingdom comes in small, almost unnoticed ways. But it never ends there.

    “Little is Much with God” Matthew 13:31-35 From the OT all the way through to the book of Revelation we find story after story of God’s plan for us. There are stories of battle, there are love stories and there are stories children love. When Jesus came on the scene He came as a teacher. 73 ...read more

    When one person comes to faith in Jesus there is rejoicing in heaven. Who are sinners and who are the righteous are described in this message.
