The Coming Of The Son Of Man.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 8, 2023

How should we live in these in-between times as we await the return of Jesus?

THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN. Luke 21:25-38. The apocalyptic imagery which Jesus employs (Luke 21:25-27) might at first seem uncharacteristic of our loving Lord Jesus: but He stood in the long tradition of the prophets of old (e.g. Joel 2:30-32; Isaiah 24:19).

Sermon On No Man Is An Island

Contributed by William Meakin on Jul 19, 2024

The Two-Man Lift

Contributed by Neal Gracey on Mar 18, 2025

When something was too heavy for us to lift, it was a policy at my work that anything over 50 lbs. was to have a two-man lift. This way the heavy object could be lifted without injury! Prayer is similar at times!

We ask for help, hence – “The Two-Man Lift!” This was a policy where I used to work… Over 50 lbs., get help!! Knowing that God wants us to pray as if we are fighting and defeating the ...read more
