The Little Apocalypse

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 10, 2013

We do not know the day and the hour when Jesus will return, so we also need to keep awake and be watchful. This message is not just for the early disciples, but for us all.

THE LITTLE APOCALYPSE. Mark 13:1-37. I. Mark 13, and its equivalents in Matthew 24 and Luke 21:5-36, is sometimes entitled “the little apocalypse.” This passage is poised between Jesus’ teaching in the Temple (Mark 12), and the account of the Passion (Mark 14-15). The main thrust of the chapter ...read more

A Light In The Darkness

Contributed by Ian Hyde on Mar 29, 2019

The beautiful truth of Christ's mission is that God was not just content to contain darkness or to hold it at bay for a while. Instead, he pierced the heart of it and conquered it on our behalf.

INTRODUCTION The passage just read is probably one of my favorite Christmas passages from one of my favorite books of the Bible. In fact, it is one of the reasons Isaiah has sometimes been called the “fifth gospel”, because between this, 7:14, 11:1-9, and chapter 53, we have an almost complete ...read more

God Loves To Sing

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

Music and song are as timeless as the nature of God. If you consider God's singing as sacred music, then sacred music has no beginning, for it is just as eternal as God is.

Knowing the Bible is the best education life has to offer, for not only is it the light by which we come to see our Savior and enter into His salvation, it is by its light that we get insights into all areas of life that other books cannot give us. If you do research on the origin of music, you ...read more

Jesus' Sermon On The Mount

Contributed by James Williams on Jul 24, 2015

Jesus' sermon explains in what ways our righteousness must surpass that of the Scribes and the Pharisees. This is the narrow path that leads to life. This is not just saying "Lord, Lord," but doing the will of God.

How’s your righteousness? At what level is your righteousness? That’s an important question. Listen to these words of Jesus in Matthew 5:20, “For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of ...read more

Ministry Is A Liability

Contributed by Heather Cook on Jan 4, 2019

A personal story of my first few years in ministry. I tie it into the fact that when you are doing effective ministry you will have enemies. Just as Christ did.

I was 21 when I first set foot in Connecticut Valley Seventh-Day-Adventist Church. I was nearly a month married, full of enthusiasm and excitement for the adventure of “real” life. Totally unprepared for the reality of it. I was well armed with a bevy of important and well-educated sounding ...read more

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jan 15, 2019

Living a life of faith oftentimes means getting out of our comfort zones. This message is about two individuals who did just that - Jairus and the woman with the issue of blood,

If you have a marker, put it in Mark 5. We’re also going to Leviticus 15 and Proverbs 3. How many of you have worked with or known people who have done things and they had no concerns about what people thought? And these are people we sometimes look at and frown upon because they’re doing things ...read more

Ah, I Can See

Contributed by Bala Samson on Nov 22, 2021

People today run here and there not seeking God but they just want some prophesy and sadly our leaders are gratifying their carnal desires. Today people need spiritual eyes!

Genesis 22:4”On the third day Abraham raised his eyes and saw the place from a distance.” ABRAHAM: After the initial response of “ Here I am”, God made sure that Abraham understood his calling, the Lord said: Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac…..Abraham was ...read more

Jeremiah’s Unusual Purchases: A Linen Waistband Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 11, 2021

It was just a linen "girdle" or waistband which Jeremiah purchased new, at the Lord's command. What happened to that waistband after Jeremiah bought it?

Introduction: Jeremiah was a prophet as well as a priest. During his ministry, God told him to make at least three unusual purchases. The first such purchase was a linen waistband (“girdle” in the KJV) and it served as an object lesson. 1 The command to purchase the waistband (girdle) Text: ...read more

The Paradox Of Burdens Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Paul's apparently conspicuous contradictions, and puzzling paradoxes are the result of his God-given ability to see the whole of life, and not just some of its parts in isolation.

In South Dakota a man by the name of August had a clothing store he was going to close up. His was not one of those perpetual year around closing sales. He was actually intending to go out of business by July. So he hung a sign in his window which read, The First Of July Is The Last Of August. ...read more

Steps To Christian Maturity Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

The Bible is not just a reference book. It is to be our daily menu if we want to be mature. It will put muscles on our faith, marrow in our hope and blood in our heart of love.

There is one calling that every Christian has without exception, and that is the calling to maturity. We are born into the household of God as babes in Christ, but we are not to remain infants. We are to grow up into the fullness of the stature of Christ. The speed with which we achieve this goal ...read more
