Today, we honor fathers and trust that, through faith, we can be the best we can be with the strength of Christ. In this sermon, we will not only look at the return of the Prodigal son but also the faith of the waiting father.

Confident Of His Coming

Contributed by Harold Orndorff on May 25, 2004

Though people have and continue to doubt that Jesus will return, we can be confident of His coming because God has judged the world before, because God is not bound by time, and because Christ’s coming will not be preceded by definite signs.

Confident of His Coming II Peter 3:1-13 Maranatha - - come quickly, Lord Jesus. Quickly, you say? What’s so quick about two thousand years?

Delegation Series

Jesus return is the motivation for remaining holy and blameless to be ready when he appears so we can join him, so we’re worthy of him. Paul’s prayer is that Jesus would provide the power to do it.

He really misses them. He’s distressed that he’s had to abandon them just as they were becoming a stable ...read more
