Caught Up, But When? Imminence Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on May 20, 2015

Will Jesus come at just any minute now? A seriously important question?

5. IMMINENCE ‘"Jesus could come at any time." I know what the people who say this mean, but we must take objection to that statement as it stands. In fact, Heaven has a day circled on the Heavenly Calendar when Jesus must come. [Acts 17:31, (God) has appointed a day in which He will ...read more

HoHum: “Familiarity breeds contempt -- and children." Mark Twain WBTU: Must go back to the context here. At the end of Ephesians 5 Paul talks about marriage. He does give the role of the husband and the role of the wife in marriage, but there is so much more. In Ephesians 5 Paul is ...read more

A Whole Heart

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Jul 2, 2018

Who wants God to love them and act towards them halfheartedly, as an after thought. No we want Gods full attention and commitment to our well being. Well God wants doesn't want to be an after thought in our lives either.

David made a statement in the word of God. He said my heart is fixed. Psalms 57:7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. There are all kinds of heart conditions. There’s a broken heart. There’s a wounded heart. Then there are physical heart conditions that limit ...read more

Accused Before The Council Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 14, 2018

Having been betrayed, arrested, and taken to the home of the high priest, Jesus then faced preposterous allegations. Finally admitting that He was the Son of God, the council voted to codemn Jesus for blasphemy.

King Of The Jews Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Nov 14, 2018

Using the title King of the Jews, was a title which causes conflict and puts people in a place where their identification with Jesus brings mockery, disparagement and even persecution.

Message Matthew 2:2 Name Above All Names - King of the Jews Through the Advent period we have been looking at the importance of the different names of Jesus.

Hope In Suffering

Contributed by Hiram Withers on Nov 22, 2018

Psalm 130 does not give us insight as to why we suffer, it gives us the reality that we will suffer, it is not a matter of if but when we suffer. It gives us insight into how we respond to suffering makes an incredible difference in how we live our lives.

We have pointed out in our ascent to grow closer to God we will face persecution and that will and does cause suffering, but that suffering is a direct result of the decision we have made to follow Christ. We have been warned that it will happen, and we are comforted in the fact that in the end the ...read more
