    We’re look at NINE SIGNS OF THE SOON COMING OF JESUS that have never happened before. These are signs that, if we’re not braindead, ought to be like flashing lights or sirens wailing – warning us to “all-hands-on-deck” readiness for the Second Coming.

    WAKE UP! JESUS IS COMING! Rom. 13:11-14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. I heard about these two men, Archie & Jack, who’d debated their whole lives whether Jesus was white or whether He was black. Archie was sure He was white and Jack was sure He was black. 2. As fate would have it, they died ...read more

    How believers can resist pressure from the outside and from within to compromise our theology and morals.

    Intro-comparing the Ephesus church, orthodox but with out love, vs. Pergamum and Thyatira, compromise and tolerance. How do we feel when we Jesus described as “He who has the sharp, double-edged sword”? It’s a nice feeling if we know that Jesus is fighting for us against our enemies. And that he ...read more

    Jesus calls us to take up our cross, which means embracing the pain, loneliness, and partnership that comes with following Him. The journey may be difficult, but the reward is worth it.

You know, life can be pretty hard sometimes, right? Jesus actually told us that we'd face some tough times. Check out what He ...read more

    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.
