    Enduring In The End Times Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 26, 2021
     | 8,426 views

    While it is impossible to known when the Lord will return, the Scripture does reveal what we can expect as that time draws near. Paul sought to equip the church to prepare for and endure during the End Times. These words of exhortation are especially needed today.

    Enduring in the End Times 1 Thessalonians 5: 8-11 Paul had spent a great deal of time dealing with the rapture of the church and the second coming of the Lord. He sought to enlighten them concerning the events that are sure to happen. If you remember, the Thessalonians were a bit confused, and ...read more

    Waiting On God

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 14, 2010
    based on 9 ratings
     | 13,043 views

    Waiting on God is one of the most difficult things to do. Apparently the whole life secret lies in it. What does waiting on the Lord include? Let me put it in three brief exhortations. Keep near Him; keep still; expect.

    Illustration: Themistocles, who led the Greeks in the famous naval battle of Salamis, for some reason unknown to his troops, delayed the engagement. It was expected that he would avail himself of the early morning hours; and when what seemed the golden opportunity had gone in inactivity, there were ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,548 views

    The mark of the beast is something that many people are curious about but have great reservations in trying to fully understand. Sadly, some people many of which are sincere Christians find themselves terrified feeling that they will be forced to take the mark of the beast in the near future.

    The Pandemic and The Mark of the Beast By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. PRAYER: OPENING: - I felt a burden to teach on this subject especially in light of recent events.

     | 3,550 views

    The Heart of the Message to the Hebrews is how to be faithful to Jesus. How can we demonstrate in practical ways our faithfulness to Jesus in light of His faithfulness to us?

    I had an unexpected very emotional experience this past week. At a little after 6 on Tuesday morning I came to page 884, the last page of probably the longest book I have ever read apart from the Bible. As I’ve mentioned previously, I have been reading the massive scholarly work written by ...read more

    I’m sure we all know the joke about how many social workers it takes to change a light bulb. It only takes one, of course, but the light bulb has got to want to change.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 13,372 views

    Jesus declared that it was impossible for anyone to know the exact day and hour of His return. While we cannot predict the precise moment the Lord will return, He did provide some definite signs that reveal His return is very near, even at the door!

    Watching and Waiting Mark 13: 28-37 Today we come to the conclusion of Mark’s account of the Olivet Discourse. Jesus had given much detail to the disciples regarding the end times and the Great Tribulation. He concluded this conversation with a challenge for them to be aware of the time, while ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 9, 2025
     | 470 views

    What does it mean to bear the yoke in your youth? Patience in silence with no grumbling is what pleases God. What is it to have the mouth in the dust and we look at the expressions about bowing the knee to Jesus Christ.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 19 – BEAR THE YOKE IN YOUTH AND IF NEED BE, BOW DOWN IN ACCEPTANCE AND SUBMISSION. THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE - CHAPTER 3:27-29 In the last two messages we wrapped our thoughts around some of the loveliest verses in the bible that spoke about the kindness and compassion ...read more

    No matter how equipped we may feel or how much courage we lack, it is always a helpful reminder to know that God promises to be with His people.

    Everywhere Paul went he went through many trials. He faced threats against his life. For his preaching he was beaten times without number, stoned and left for dead, and imprisoned. He was followed by Judaizing teachers that would contradict him and harass him everywhere he went. He suffered hunger ...read more

    Jesus is our great high priest. In him we have a permanent salvation, which gives us eternal security. We also have a perfect sacrifice, complete with nothing needed for our salvation.

    There are 3 requirements for the person who sits near the exit door on a plane. (1) you must understand the instructions. (2) you must be able to pint people to the door. (3) you must be able to guide them through the door. Same for a disciple.
