    While You Wait

    In these three stories about what to do until while waiting for him to come back, Jesus encourages the faithful and warns the faithless.

    If you’ve been following along this series in your Bible at home, you’ll know that we finished the series on the Sermon on the Mount last week. At that point, I returned to the Gospel passage from the revised common lectionary, which gives four readings for each Sunday and festival in the ...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. COME LET US REASON TOGETHER… BE READY… (You have to do this as two parts, or cover the points quickly.) As a child we played a game: “HIDE AND SEEK.” One person would face ...read more

    Watchful Servants

    The mood of fear is evoked in each of the three punishments

    The mood of fear is evoked in each of the three punishments according to Jewish biblical-era legislation (called halakhic legislation). Reading and hearing Scripture is "imaging the real" in all of its "moods”—and letting the tone of the text bring one to the truth of the ...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

    Always Remain Watchful Series

     | 5,357 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

    Guard Your Heart And Your Mind

    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

    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

    Who are the faithful? What does it mean to be faithful? Looking at the Biblical message of this great Christmas hymn.

    The songs of the Christmas season comprise some of the finest music known to man, and this hymn is certainly one of our universal favorites. It was used in Catholic churches before it became known to Protestants. Today it is sung by church groups around the world since it has been translated from ...read more

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

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 31, 2025
     | 1,045 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

    History is not random, time is not endless, and life is not merely about getting by until retirement. There is an appointed moment when the Son of Man will return—and He expects His people to be ready.

    Ready at Any Moment: Living Awake for the Returning King - Luke 12:40 Introduction: Living as Though Today Matters Church, we live in an age of notifications, deadlines, diaries, and distractions.

    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.
