And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. And these are (just) the beginning of ...read more

    DOOMSDAY (MARK 13) Christians are often besieged with apocalyptic, millennial, and eschatological expectations whenever a disaster occurs.

    As the time draws near for the end of the age, we should not be deceived or distressed. Instead, we should be aware of the signs and be alert to the time.

    To start a discussion on core values, a youth pastor in Saskatchewan, Canada, asked his youth group: “What would you do if your doctor told you that you had only 24 hours to live?” The students talked about being with friends and family, and the discussion seemed headed in the right direction. ...read more

    A Message of HOPE for Advent.

    The Hope in Christ’s Return Mark 13:24-37 Intro In the late 19th Century in America, there was a wave of enthusiasm for prophecies predicting the actual date for Christ’s Second coming.

It isn’t January 1st, it’s November 30!” Ah, true it is, but just the same, a new year begins today! The Church’s new year, that is. Today ...read more

    Christian Somnambulism is walking through life like a sleep-walker, unaware of the reality of God’s kingdom in today’s world.

    Mark 13: 24 – 37 / Christian Somnambulism Intro: Mark Twain once called on a certain young lady in Hannibal, MO. He was late getting off work. By the time he got to the livery stable to rent a horse and buggy, the only animal left was a very old, bony, swayback, scraggy, bedraggled-looking ...read more

    At times life can be difficult and even dark, as we prepare for Christmas and Jesus’ second coming we gain hope not by relying on this world but on Jesus. This Advent sermon explores what it means to be a hope receiver and a hope deliverer.

    As we begin the start of the church year, our first Sunday of Advent encourages us to look at being hopeful. This week I read a story about a lady called Susan Duggan. Susan Duggan is a lady with hope. Not because she’s had an easy life or she has received great rewards. Listen to part of her ...read more

    As the season of Advent begins, many people are preparing for Christmas. That’s good, but ...we are primarily being called in this sermon to be alert, to watch, to be awake, preparing for the return of Jesus. So, are YOU awake ?

    I came across a suggested prayer for all preachers this week, and it goes like this: “Lord, fill my mouth with worthwhile stuff and nudge me when I’ve said enough.” Well, here we go! Are you ready? Are you prepared? Put your hands up if you are ready and prepared ... did you get done yesterday ...read more

    Words chiseled in stone are for remembering. Jesus said I’m coming back - Stay Awake! This message underlines why.

    33Beware, keep alert; for you do not know when the time will come. 34It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his slaves in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to be on the watch. 35Therefore, keep awake—for you do not know when the master of the house ...read more

    Christians wait and watch for Jesus’ return. We know the season, but we don’t know the time, and we live in the paradox.

    Mark 13:24-37 “Reading the Times” INTRODUCTION There is probably not a day that goes by that we don’t wait. We might wait for a train at Bell and Grand, or wait in a line at the grocery store, or twiddle our time away waiting to see a doctor. Waiting is a part of lives, even though none of ...read more
