    Borrowing From Tomorrow

     | 2,654 views

    The Scriptures tell us, "Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring." (Proverbs 27:1). Too many people in these last days forget that they may not have tomorrow. The time to be prepared to meet God is now.

    All of us at one time have put things off until the last minute, such as the writing of a research paper for school or studying for exams. We put off important decisions at our place of work, or filing tax returns, buying your family Christmas presents on or near Christmas Eve, or asking that ...read more

    Does God really exist? This is a foundational spiritual question that we would have asked ourselves at some point. Bible provides us with the answer.

     | 1,839 views

    Knowing that God is planning judgment should bring us all into a sobering reality of what we should be doing as Christians.

    But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ...read more

    Ready & Faithful Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,659 views

    In this passage, we receive the encouragement from Christ to be faithful and to remain ready. We can remain faithful because He is a good shepherd who looks over His flock. We stay ready because we don’t know the day or the hour when Christ will return, but we trust that He is coming soon.

    Today, we're going to talk about being ready and faithful. Life can be pretty unpredictable, right? Sometimes we're prepared for what's coming, and other times, we're caught off guard. But when it comes to our faith, Jesus wants us to be ready and faithful all the time. So, let's dive into our main ...read more

     | 1,317 views

    Life is measured in meaningful moments, not just minutes. We need to be intentional with our time, eliminating time-wasting activities, seizing teachable moments, and accumulating meaningful experiences.

    Have you ever thought about how long you've actually lived? Not in years or days, but in moments that really matter? Dr. Tony Campolo once asked a student this question and it got him thinking. Life isn't just about the minutes we spend, but the moments we create. Before we dive in, let's remember ...read more

     | 3,326 views

    Jesus was busy but never in a hurry. We can follow His example by prioritizing our time and protecting it based on our priorities. However, we must remember that our worth is not determined by our productivity.

    Remember that verse in Ephesians 5:15-17? It's all about making the most of our time to do what God wants us to do. Today, we're diving into the principle: ditching the rush. Jesus was always on the go, but never in a rush. He knew how to prioritize and protect his time. And guess what? Our worth ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,749 views

    Jesus told His disciples that there would be signs in the sun, moon, and stars before His return. These celestial signs, including solar and lunar eclipses, are reminders that God's promises will be fulfilled and that Jesus' return is imminent.

    You know how we love to stargaze, right? Well, imagine if the stars, the sun, and the moon were trying to tell us something. Sounds like a sci-fi movie, right? But guess what? Jesus actually said that there would be signs in the sun, moon, and stars before He comes back. You know how we use our ...read more

     | 634 views

    The main idea is to find time to rest, spend time with God, and give God control of our schedules to bring order to our chaotic lives.

    Remember how God created the world in six days and then chilled on the seventh? He wasn't wiped out, but He wanted to show us that taking a break is important. So, we gotta find time to chill too. It's not just about catching some Z's, but also about taking a day to do something cool or just relax. ...read more

    If God showed us the entire journey, we would likely never take the first step. Life is full of uncertainty, and God often calls us to move forward into the unknown.

    Stepping into the Unknown: Trusting God One Step at a Time - Hebrews 11:8 Hebrews 11:8 (NLT) – “It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance.

    Being Comfortable In The Dark Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Nov 28, 2023
     | 2,289 views

    In Part 2 of this series we look at the life of Abraham and how in his old age when God told him to step out into the darkness - the unknown - he did not hesitate or question God. He was surely comfortable in the dark.

    Being Comfortable In The Dark Part 2 Scripture: Proverbs 3:1-6; Genesis 12:1-4; Romans 4:1-4; Last month I preached a sermon to you titled “Being Comfortable in the Dark.” In that message I told you that if we are to walk in faith, we had to get very comfortable walking with God not knowing ...read more

    David, the hero of Israel and God's chosen vessel to be the next king, came to a point in his life where all he had gained was now lost and forgotten. He hit rock bottom, yet God used this to show David that he needed to rely only on Him for support and strength.

    "David arose and fled that day from before Saul and went to Achish the king of Gath. The servants of Achish said to him, 'Is this not David the king of the land? Did they not sing of him to one another, saying, 'Saul has slain his thousands and David his ten thousand?' Now David ...read more
