    Will Christians Go Through The Tribulation Period? (Vii) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Feb 15, 2021
     | 3,383 views

    Message explores the scriptural strength/weakness of the POSTTRIBULATION Rapture position. That is compared with the Pretribulation and Midtribulation positions.

    This is the seventh message exploring Scripture for an answer to one question: Will Christians go through the tribulation period. It is not an easy question to answer because there is no place in the Bible where we are specifically told when the rapture of the church will occur. We are certainly ...read more

     | 5,310 views

    The two parables here serve to caution us about slacking off in kingdom work. We need to keep our waist girded and be ready for service; and be alert and watchful at all times, so we don’t miss opportunities to share the love of Christ.

    This evening’s message is entitled “Always Remain Watchful,” and it’s taken from two short parables commonly called “The Parable of the Faithful and Evil Servant” and “The Parable of the Thief.” In these two short parables Jesus spoke a word about faithfulness; the kind of faithfulness that leads ...read more

    Jesus says in effect, “You can be certain I’ll return but you can’t predict when I’ll return.

    This is the first sermon in a series of messages on Jesus’ vision of the last days. And it’s just in time for school to kick off both here and in Northwest ISD. What comes to mind when you think of the End of Time? Judgment, the Four Horsemen, the Antichrist, or perhaps even 666? People have an ...read more

    We live in a time when we must ever guard our hearts against doubt and fear, and we must always be aware of the lies and deceit of the devil, to keep our mind in tune with the Mind of Christ.

    Guard Your Heart and Your Mind Sunday, March 6, 2022 One thing that we can certainly count on is the steady ticking of the clock. Regardless of what men do, time marches on. Whether it is the evil plans of the devil, often working through the minds and efforts of evil men and women; or if it is ...read more

    God has called each one of us to have a role in the church and he calls us to carry it out lovingly

    How does serving God become a part of our salvation story? Before you accuse me of being a heretic, I believe that salvation has all been completed once for all upon the Cross And there is nothing for us to do other than we receive Jesus’ gift of salvation. It is a once for all gift we receive ...read more

    Jesus is coming soon. Prepare daily, own your faith, and don’t delay. Midnight is coming, but grace is here now.

    Picture the scene Jesus paints. Night has settled in. A moon is rising lazy and late. Shadows stretch across the village road. Somewhere nearby, a bride waits with trembling excitement. Her friends surround her with music and laughter and nervous energy. They do not know when the moment will ...read more

     | 2,357 views

    The message of “Behold, I come quickly” is a wake-up call to every believer. Jesus’ return is not only certain but also imminent, and it will bring both reward and judgment. We must be watchful, live holy lives, and keep our hearts focused on Christ, ready to meet Him at any moment.

    This Could Be The Year (2026) Of The Lord’s Coming

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 31, 2025
     | 914 views

    I title this sermon “This Could Be the Year of The Lord’s Coming.” Please notice, I did not foolishly say “This would be the year the Lord is coming back for His church.” But I did say, This Could Be the Year of The Lord’s coming back for His Church.

    Text: The Bible tells us in Matthew 24:36, “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” But it is obvious today that the lost world is not looking for Christ to return anytime soon. HOW DO WE KNOW THAT? Because they would not be living like ...read more
