Keeping People From God Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Oct 15, 2012

Could it be that it is us who keep people from coming to Jesus? Just like the crowd obstructed the blind beggars from coming to Jesus, or the disciples from letting the children come to Jesus, we as Christians tend to pose obstacles to come to Jesus!

The blind men want to see Jesus. We know from Mark that one of those blind men were named Bartimaeus, and he had been blind all his life. First thing you see when you open your eyes is Jesus. I think that would be a wonderful thing! But we see that the crowd rebukes them. This is like the people ...read more

End-Times Living

Contributed by Richard Futrell on Nov 10, 2010

End-times living won’t be easy. Jesus doesn’t promise that it will be. How can it? This universe is plummeting down to its death, and such death throes are never pleasant.

Intro The end of the church year draws near. With the end of the church year comes preaching of the end: the end of this creation, the coming of Jesus Christ, and the new creation on the Last Day. When Jesus comes on the Last Day, the world as we know it ends. That probably doesn’t cross ...read more
