    Jesus taught that the Son of Man would return when we least expect him. This has implications for future, end-time theology as well as present-day, right-now living. Our Father wants us to live with expectant hope because He can show up in any situation at any moment.

    Today, I want to talk about surprises. You know, those moments when something unexpected happens, and it catches you off guard. I have this little gift box here, and there's a surprise inside. I'm not going to tell you what it is just yet, but I want you to keep it in mind as we go through our ...read more

    Good morning, family. Today we're going to dive into a familiar story from the Gospel of Luke, but I want you to approach it with fresh eyes and an open heart.

    Like the two disciples on the road to Emmaus we to can encounter Jesus when we least expect to and where we least expect to find Him.

    If you had asked my parents what religion they were and how they had bought up their children they would have said, without hesitation, that they were Christians, and that we, my brothers Gary and Paul, and my sister Carol, and I, had been brought up in the Christian faith, except of course that my ...read more

     | 3,093 views

    Modern Christians are going to be horrified when they stand in Judgment. Attending church, praising the Lord, living faithfully, and paying tithes aren't even on the radar of what Jesus is expecting of us. We're supposed to be serving 'the least of these!'

If they got the answer wrong, he would devour them. 2. The riddle was: “What walks on four legs in ...read more

    Genuine faith that pleases God is sometimes found in the least expected places.

    “Genuine Faith” [Matthew 8:5-13] Introduction: We all like to get the genuine article when we buy something. When we put our money down for the real deal we rightfully expect to get the real deal. Once I bought a .22 caliber rifle that was a “knock off” of a Browning rifle. Believe me it did ...read more
