    A Time For Faith

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jan 16, 2025
     | 736 views

    This message is about how God's Word will increase our faith as we walk through seasons of life. We have to speak life into our situations - not death.

    A Time For Faith Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8: Matthew 6:24; 33; Philippians 4:13 Good morning Strangers Rest. In my message last Sunday, I asked you “What movies will you create in 2025?” In that message, I spoke about how our thoughts create movies in our minds that cause us to react. Those ...read more

    The Set Time.

    Promises for a generation yet unborn (cf. Psalm 102:18).

    THE SET TIME. Psalm 102:15-22. The immediate context of these verses speaks of how the eternal LORD shall yet ‘have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come’ (cf. Psalm 102:13). This anticipates more than the rebuilding of Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. It ...read more

    Awaken To The Times

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 977 views

    Though the world may persecute us, and evil may seem to prevail, we must still work for Christ. The Church must shine for Him. We must preach and demonstrate the gospel, for without us, how will the world know Christ?

    Opening illustration: All of us are slaves to time. We wear wristwatches or have timers on our smart phones to keep us on schedule. We have digital clocks in our car and alarm clocks on our nightstands. Lots of people keep a Day-Timer nearby so they can keep track of their appointments and ...read more

    Harvest Time

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 874 views

    With the Psalmist, we celebrate, but like the Psalmist we will not let the memory of the past slip into a slumbering nostalgia but allow the past to give an impetus to confidence for the future and present.

    Opening illustration: When we arrived in Iowa in 2007, we had no idea what we were getting into. But one thing was clear, God had brought us here for His plan and purpose that He alone could fulfill through our lives. Maureena and I were on a God-given mission and were bent upon accomplishing it. ...read more

    The Time Is Near

    The end time is near. It is as close as your last breath. The day you die is the end of time for you. Jesus is coming back soon. It is sooner than people think.

    TEXT: Revelation 3:3 "Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near." TIME IS RUNNING OUT The last book of the Holy Bible is a book of mysteries to many people as it is ...read more

    1) God as Lord over Time, 2) Humanity as Subject to Time, 3) Time as Redemptive History, 4) Time is meaningfully forward moving. 5) The Present as the Time of Salvation 6) The End-Times and finally: 7) Time and Eternity.

    As we come to the close of the first month of a new year, we’ve had to adjust. We’ve had a month to write 2024 instead of 2023. Most have taken down their Christmas trees, put away all the decorations and have got used to any new presents that you got. We’ve received the bills for all the Christmas ...read more

     | 2,241 views

    There are profound truths around the end times: Jesus will return when we least expect it; there are signs that signal the approaching culmination of time; and, despite uncertainties, we can find comfort that in the end, Jesus will triumph.

    Some signs of the times, of the end of the age (Points 2 through 5 are from Billy Graham in an article called "Peace with God" and reprinted in Decision Magazine January 2000)

    HoHum: So aliens come to earth and there's a huge televised event with all the world leaders in attendance. The Pope asks, "Do you know of Jesus Christ?” The aliens say, "Do we Ever? Awesome guy!! Swings by the planet every couple of years to say Hi!” The Pope exclaims, "Every ...read more

    Called For Such A Time Series

     | 6,471 views

    While we are thankful for the blessings associated with our relationship with Christ, we know living the Christian life is difficult at best. Life is not without adversity, but the Lord's provision and guidance are sufficient. He has brought us to this place in life for such a time as this.

    Called for such a Time Esther 4: 10-17 The entire fourth chapter of Esther deals with her reaction to the decree signed by Ahasuerus regarding the Jews and the conversation she had with Mordecai concerning this disturbing plan. Our text today is a continuation of that conversation. One can only ...read more

    Redeeming The Time Series

     | 11,891 views

    New Year's: Kairos (God’s time) vs. kronos (the devil’s time). Kairos looks for what God is getting ready to do in the present moment; but kronos is a distraction that keeps people from using their lives - and time - wisely for the Lord.

    To begin our message, I want to point out a couple of concerns we often hear expressed by pastors and church leaders, which are: 1.) Christians rarely share their faith, and 2.) Christians are not going to church as often as they once did. If these concerns are legitimate – which I believe they are ...read more

    What are some specific circumstances that signal oppression by a government? And, as believers, what should be our first course of action, and when should we speak the truth?

    In our last message in this series, I asked the following questions: “What would we, as believers, do if our country ever came under siege by a foreign nation that did not believe in God or His Son, Jesus Christ?” “How could we practice our Christian faith and live according to biblical principles ...read more

    This message looks at some tactics the enemy will use to discredit God's people. We can fight back through prayer. Daniel actually stood for his faith while on his knees in prayer.

    In our second message from this series, I mentioned how when we live according to biblical principles, working “as to the Lord and not to men” (Colossians 3:23), that we will receive God’s favor and be promoted to a place of prominence. I also cautioned that those who are favored by God are hated ...read more

    Daniel took it on himself to intercede for the entire nation. He was just one person; yet the Lord heard his prayer. God will intervene on behalf of the few who fear His name and seek His face.

    In our message today, we’re going to view Daniel’s prayer of repentance for the nation of Israel. Donald S. Whitney says of prayer, that God “expects us to pray just as a general expects to hear from his soldiers in the battle” and that “prayer is a walkie-talkie for warfare, not a domestic ...read more

    Life is full of ups and downs. God wants us to always stay focused on Him when times or good or bad. Don’t give up on God, but don’t forget about Him either.

    For the past few weeks we've been talking about things like betrayal, temptation, and the injustices in our lives. Today I want to group all of that together and just talk a little bit about hard times in general. Life is full of ups and downs. A star quarterback throws a game-winning ...read more
