    What is the evidence that you are ready for the Lord's return?

    Introduction For those who attended service Christmas Day, I talked about the people of Bethlehem not being ready to receive a Savior. The shepherds were not ready and had to be told about a sign by an angel that the Savior has arrived. The innkeeper was not ready because he made no room in the inn ...read more

    Being Transformed Into Glory Is Not Pleasant, But It Is Necessary.

    We agree that we are being transformed into the likeness of Jesus, but this is not easy, nor is it painless. God therefore will use any means to achieve this, even our own families to agitate and root out an imperfection in us.

    This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s, Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 15th August 2010; St Oswald’s is a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries. The readings for today are: Jeremiah 23:23-29 Psalm 82 Hebrews 11:29-12:2 Luke 12:49-56 “Please ...read more

    Harmony And Fire

    Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Nov 19, 2022

    Luke 12:49-53 is paradoxical. Jesus is the Prince of Peace, but in this passage, He says He is bringing division. This sermon explores how this fits with the overall message of Luke.

    Harmony and Fire I. TEXT: Luke 12:49-53 (NRSV) “I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and what stress I am under until it is completed! 51 Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, ...read more

    Why Are We Told To Keep Our Home Fires Burning?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 5, 2023
     | 879 views

    Keeping our home fires burning. Is this referring to those who may have a fireplace in their home?

    The Return from A Wedding: Albeit this illustration applies to Israel and the second coming of Christ when He returns to establish His earthly Kingdom, it fundamentally applies to us, the church, as we await His return during the Rapture. This story is about a groom that had a wedding supper with ...read more

    The decisions now being made for good or for ill by our elected representatives will have repercussions for years to come. Their actions will decide what kind of a nation we are, & what values our children may learn & embrace.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK INTRO. As you know, tomorrow is called “Veterans’ Day”. And in thousands of churches throughout our land, Christians are lifting up their hearts in thanksgiving & prayer for those who ...read more

    Crescendo (August 18, 2019).

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 3,127 views

    Jesus shared with his audience then and his congregation today that life is not always a rose garden. Life is not a dress rehearsal. Some who are open to the gospel are often rejected by those who oppose it and sometimes they are family members.

    CRESCENDO Text: Luke 12:49 - 56 Have you ever had something happen that made your Adrenalin glands kick in instant overdrive when you were almost asleep? It said that Beethoven would sometimes shock his audiences with a shift from soft music to abrupt harsh noise. Imagine sitting ...read more

    Staying On Track (Part 1) Series

     | 5,838 views

    Many Christians begin with zeal, but get sidetracked along the way. Some are distracted with career ambitions. Others let hobbies or other interests take more and more time. The most heartbreaking is when someone is sidetracked by a false doctrine. Message expounds Philippians 3:15-21.

    Intro In our study of Philippians, we find ourselves in the last seven verses of chapter 3. In the verses just prior to this text Paul introduced the metaphor of running a race like they run in the Olympics. His instruction there was that we keep our focus on the finish line; we do not look back; ...read more

    As a book is covered with dust sits on the shelf, so is one spiritually that is not prepared, or not ready. We must be more than forgetful hearers. BE READY. BE PREPARED.

    ON THE SHELF: PREPARED, READY OR NOT… By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (YouTube: Wade Hughes) Part #2.

    Just as the church at Ephesus had its opportunity to respond to the Lord's call, so do we. We too are called to be a shining light for Christ and share the love of God with others. Let us consider the lessons we learn from the church at Ephesus and seek to renew our love for Christ.

    Visionary View: Respond to Christ’s Call to love Today, as God's church, we draw nearer each day to the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Some of you may search for signs of His imminent return and find many Biblical prophecies fulfilled already. Yet, remember Jesus' own words in Mark ...read more

    Be prepared for the return of Jesus at an unexpected time.

    PARABLE OF THE SERVING MASTER. Luke 12:32-40. Jesus reminds His “little flock” that “it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32). The imperative of Luke 12:33, rightly understood, becomes a marker of where our heart lies (Luke 12:34). We must hold the things of this ...read more

    The right use of our privileges.

    A CALL TO FAITHFUL STEWARDSHIP. Luke 12:41-48. LUKE 12:41. Peter asked whether the parable of the serving master was addressed to “us” (the apostles, representing the Christian ministry) or even to “all” (the whole crowd, representing all people everywhere). LUKE 12:42. “And the Lord said, Who ...read more

    Be reconciled to God while there is yet time.

    A CALL TO RECONCILIATION. Luke 12:49-59. “Fire!” begins the Greek of Luke 12:49. “Fire I came to cast into the earth, and what will I if it be already kindled?” Fire speaks to us of God’s judgment, but also of refining, purifying. The fire that is kindled is both: the fire of judgment against ...read more

    The Mode Of Baptism

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 20, 2022
     | 1,830 views

    What does the Bible mandate about the mode of baptism?

    Eisegesis is a bad way to read the Bible. It means to read into the text things that are actually not there at all. One common example is reading that Jesus came up out of the water after being immersed. The text simply does not say that at all. “So Jesus was baptized. And as soon as he came out ...read more
