The Return Of The Son Of Man.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 16, 2024

The tribes of the earth may well mourn at His presence, but He will send His angels to gather together His own elect people from the four corners of the earth. Take courage, dear Christian!

THE RETURN OF THE SON OF MAN. Matthew 24:23-31. Jesus here warns us against the danger of false Christs and false prophets. Even the very elect of God might be deceived, He says, "if it were possible" (Matthew 24:24). Well, how shall the second coming of Christ be known? Will it be ...read more

Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 11, 2026

The character of false teachers is revealed as Jude cites an apocryphal book.

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 12, 2011

God lit up the night with angels to celebrate Christ’s birthday. We can light up the world when we do the same... but are we wired to do that? (Uses a famous sycronized home light display as the opening and closing of the sermon).

Paul’s Ministry In Ephesus (Introducing Apollos) Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jul 29, 2024

Many struggle with what we should be doing today. We wrestle with not reading the word, not praying, or even not sharing Jesus. Then, fear takes over and we choose to hibernate rather than being bold. So, ask yourself, are we willing to just do what God has told us to do? Apollos was!

The Difference One Hour Makes

Contributed by Lynn Malone on Mar 22, 2026

One hour doesn’t seem like much—until it’s the hour that matters most. In Gethsemane, while Jesus wrestled in prayer, His closest disciples slept through the moment that could have changed everything. The question is: what are we missing because we’re not paying attention in our hour?

The Difference One Hour Makes Mark 14:32-42 One hour can make all the difference in the world. Ask every one of us on that first Sunday morning after daylight savings time. Our body just doesn’t seem to adjust to that one hour of time. We never get it back, even when the clock turns back. ...read more

It's My Time To Be Blessed

Contributed by Norris Harris I on Jan 24, 2003

I believe that if we would ask Jacob this, he would tell us: "ITS MY TIME TO BE BLESSED!" For I believe he has come to realize that in the Perfect Plan of God there are SEASONS OF BLESSINGS for the Children of God’s Cov

"And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses."

Always Choose God's Grace Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Apr 6, 2009

Because God is a Gracious God, He will love every person, whether that person is like Jacob who was promised by God, or ordinary people like Leah, Rachel, and Laban; but every person can choose to separate from God’s blessings.

Last week, we learned about God’s grace through 2 women, Leah and Rachel. We noted that biblical grace is undeserved favor. Let us learn more about this gracious God through 2 men, Jacob and Laban. Since we will cover much Scripture today, we will first briefly look at the character of the 2 men, ...read more

The Song Of Moses And The Song Of The Lamb

Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on May 24, 2009

The question is: are you able to sing the Song of Moses? Bible history reveals that Jacob left the land of Canaan for Egypt to look for food. The children of Israel were in slavery in Egypt for many years. Why did God keep them there that long?

THE SONG OF MOSES AND THE SONG OF THE LAMB Dr. D. K. Olukoya Isaiah51:11says,“Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.” Here the ...read more

How Great Is Our God?

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jan 28, 2015

Even though God is Great, Wonderful, Sovereign and All Powerful, He is still the ‘Great I AM,’ the same God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who left His glory and became flesh through Christ to save us!

Dealing With Our Good And Bad Traits Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Feb 16, 2009

Like Abraham, Keturah, Ishmael, Isaac, Rebekah, Esau, and Jacob, each one of us today have good and bad traits; and the first thing we need to do to have effective and productive lives is to know these personal traits, then control them.

Some may call it stereotyping, but we connect certain traits with a specific ethnic background don’t we? What do people say about Asians?? What do people say about Germans or Irish People?? What do people say about Italians and Spaniards?? Isn’t it interesting that we have a tendency to think ...read more

The Bumps Are What You Climb On

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 28, 2018

The bumps/trials of life seem like things that hinder us and stunt us, but in reality, the bumps are spiritually the only way we can advance the inner life upward. Jacob's frequent troubles enhanced the overcoming nature latent within him.

THE BUMPS ARE WHAT YOU CLIMB ON INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Doug Scattergood told how he was deployed with the Navy in the Red Sea for several months. Finally he got the chance to go ashore in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. 2. He went to a pay-phone on the pier, produced all the change ...read more

"He's Still Waiting At The Well"

Contributed by Bill Burress on Nov 1, 2010

Just like the Samaritan woman we are given second chances through Jesus. Jesus knew the woman was going to be at Jacob's well and He waited on her so He could teach her and give her the opportunity to live a Godly life.
