    I am not talking solely about Christ's return today. We should live our lives in such a way that every day people see Jesus in us. And then, when Christ returns, we’ll be unashamed before Him.

    I want to start off today by naming a few random items. As I name these items, I want to know what do you think of as I name these things. A flashlight. A battery-operated radio. A cell phone charger. And bottled water. What do you think of? Usually when we gather items like these it is ...read more

     | 1,907 views

    Singers often have contracts with a venue that spell out how they are to be treated. What if God had a contract? What if in that contract, He spelled out how He wanted to be treated? What would be in the contract? We will consider some possibilities today.

    How to Treat Jesus (John 3:22-36) When Kanye West goes to a venue to perform, he requires that there be a slushy machine for him to use. Singers often have contracts with a venue that spell out how they are to be treated. Madonna must have a vegan chef. Jack White must have fresh home-made ...read more

    The pivotal choice: Trust in Jesus and receive eternal life or reject Jesus and face God’s wrath.

    Life is full of choices: • Some are easy choices: what to wear, what to eat, what to watch on TV. • Some are difficult choices: where to attend university, where to work, when to retire. • All of you had a choice this morning: Should I go to church or not? • Some choices are easy; some are ...read more

    On the whole being prepared isn’t a bad thing. In fact it can be downright crucial! Most people I know that have had a very difficult life, it is not that they could not have done much better in life, it was simply a lack of preparation.

    TITLE: READY OR NOT SCRIPTURE: ST. MATTHEW 25:1-13 I remember with great fondness growing up and spending weekends and holidays with my grandparents in Keyport, NJ. Both sets of grandparents lived just blocks from one another. One of my grandparents lived right next to the City Cemetery. I ...read more

     | 8,543 views

    What we have here is the bringing together at last of Christ and His Church. Paul declares that his ministry was to win believers to Christ through the preaching of the Gospel, so that, as the Church, they might be presented to Him as a chaste virgin.

     | 26,040 views

    In the parable of the 10 Virgins, Jesus uses a wedding to describe the excitement about the Rapture. But it's also a warning. Half of the community of believers will not be ready when He comes. The Midnight Cry should wake us all to preparation.

    THE MIDNIGHT CRY Mt. 25:8 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Appearances can be deceiving 1. A film crew was on location deep in the desert. One day an old Indian went up to the director and said, “Ugh. Tomorrow it rain.” The next day it rained. 2. A week later, the Indian went up to the ...read more

    As the wise bridesmaids were well prepared for Christ’s return -- unlike the foolish ones, so the church is called to prepare by making Provision, Protection and Praise.

     | 2,185 views

    The ministry of Jesus' ministry was starting up and becoming more successful than the ministry of John the Baptist. The Disciples of John were resentful and jealous of Jesus; John had no problem with it.
