The New Church

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Feb 8, 2022

The church is an organization that will have a similar life cycle as any living person. Is it possible that some churches need to die so new church's are born? Is your church fulfilling the spiritual needs of its membership.

The New Church Mark 13:28-32 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 28 “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. 29 “Even so, you too, when you see these things happening, recognize that He is near, right at ...read more

Self Control Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Feb 22, 2023

There are really two halves to today’s message. First, I want to speak on the importance and need for growth in a believer’s life, and second is the importance of self-control.

Let me just get real serious, real quick here: what is the one item in your life you have trouble controlling? Do you have total self-control in the area of food? Drink? Sex? Your tongue? Today, I ...read more

The Book Of Mark #63

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

In the previous sermon we talked about the signs of the end times. Some folks do not enjoy studying the signs of His coming.

Illus: Listen, when I go down the road and I see a sign that tells me there is a sharp curve up ahead or a steep hill, I find these signs helpful. But sometimes signs are confusing. Illus: Two preachers are standing by the side of the road, holding up a sign that reads, “The End is Near! Turn ...read more

The Closing Of The Age.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 12, 2021

We do not know the day and the hour when Jesus will return, so we also need to keep awake and be watchful.

THE CLOSING OF THE AGE. Mark 13:24-37. The original “abomination of desolation” (Mark 13:14) prophesied in Daniel 11:31, was an idol set up in the Temple precincts in 168 B.C. (Daniel 12:11).

It Is Near - Mark 13:28-31 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 23, 2024

What good is it to know that his coming is near? Would you live differently if you knew for sure it would be in your lifetime? Shouldn’t you live that way all the time? And if we can’t know when it will happen, what does “near” even mean?

Mark 13:28 "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 29 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, right at the door. 30 I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not ...read more
