    Understanding Matthew 24 Series

    based on 174 ratings
     | 21,115 views

    The first in a series of messages on Matthew 24 & 25, this message focuses on understanding that Matthew 24 is primarily pointing to the destruction of Jerusalem and warning us not to waste time predicting the time of Christ’s return. Rather, be prepared at all times.

    Because Jesus Is Returning . . . "Understanding Matthew 24" You can’t read the article that appeared in the Atlanta Journal, June 5, 1997 without some remorse and sympathy for Clarence Jackson. "The clock struck midnight and Clarence Jackson didn’t turn into a millionaire." Jackson, who is 24, ...read more

    The Horoscope Of Jesus

    What must Mary have thought when she first opened the door and found a group of Iranian astrologers, there to celebrate the birth of her son? These characters seem so inappropriate in the Christmas narrative, but maybe that’s the point?

    The Xmas season is over! We’ve wished each other a Merry Xmas AND a Happy New Year, and now the festive season is PAST. The holidays (for most of us) are over. The time for singing carols and wishing peace and goodwill to all is finished. The presents have been handed out. The cards have all been ...read more

    Seven Words From Calvary

    Contributed by Monte Brown on Jan 25, 2007
    based on 10 ratings
     | 4,865 views

    Jesus spoke seven statements from the Cross-, each statement showing a different aspect of Calvary’s function. The first three statements (which we call "words") were spoken before Jesus entered the court of God:

    The justice of God was satisfied at Calvary when Christ paid the penalty for our sins on the Cross. The mercy of God was satisfied at Calvary because we did not have to suffer the penalty of sin, a penalty we so richly deserved.

    INTRODUCTION: A. Many years ago the Christian Digest carried this little story of a busy mother. 1. A busy mother was one day regretting that she could do so little Christian work.

    First, we learned that the kingdom of God/heaven at present is not something we can point to and say "here it is", or "there it is". In other words it is not at present a kingdom that is present on this world in a governmental sense whereby it’s influence

    FIELD OF DREAMS Part 3 Matthew 13:44-46 Text: Matthew 19:16-26 (NIV) 16 Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?" 17 "Why do you ask me about what is good?"

     | 22,186 views

    On the first Sunday of Advent we light the candle of prophecy. It reminds us of the hope we have in the return of Christ. This sermon shows obvious false prophecies in contrast witht the prophecy of Christ’s return - that the focus is not a day or time

    Introduction: In the late 19th Century in America, there was a wave of enthusiasm for prophecies predicting the actual date for Christ’s Second Coming. One such prophet was an Adventist leader William Miller (1782-1849). And it is in his movement that both the JW’s and the Seventh Day ...read more

    A first-person narrative. When in our suffering we challenge the Lord like Job did, he works repentance in us so that we stand dumbfounded at his wisdom and power and stand astounded at his promise of grace.

    Who Dares to Question the Lord Good Morning. I thank you for this opportunity to speak to you. My name is Job. I realize that because of the way it is spelled in English, you would usually pronounce it “job.” But it is Job. Please allow me to give you a little bit of background about myself. I ...read more

    Go Tell It On Mt. Sinai Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 6, 2003
    based on 35 ratings
     | 9,610 views

    Being a Christian is not a negative thing, nothing but thou shalt nots; it is first of all a relationship with God, but marred by fear. So God gives us boundaries to receive as a gift, not a burden. That’s good news worth telling.

    The instant some people hear anything about Christianity they begin to conjure up negatives. For too many being a Christian is defined by what they are not allowed to do. “I don’t drink and I don’t chew and I don’t go with girls who do.” For too much of the world, being a Christian is a joyless, ...read more

    based on 12 ratings
     | 6,945 views

    It is always interesting to note those who did come and those who did not come to that first Christmas celebration. Why did they not come? And why did others come to celebrate the birth of the Christ child? The reasons are the same today.

    Text: (Luke 2:15 KJV) And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. 16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and ...read more

    A parent’s responsibility is to aim their kids in the direction they should go and then willingly release them when the proper time comes. However, parents must first have a proper relationship with God because they cannot share with their kids what they
