    This sermon incorporates and adapts “The Parable of the Ten Virgins—A Picture of the Second Coming”, a sermon by Joseph Wallis, Sermon Central, Jan. 2002, to whom credit is hereby acknowledged.

    (We invite you to visit us at www.HeritageRestorationProject.org or www.ChristianWisdom.info) The prophecy of the Second Coming of Jesus is often either misunderstood by Christians themselves, or, the object of derision and ridicule among non-Christians. And yet, it is one of the most important ...read more

    After sharing His teaching about the end times in chapter 24, Jesus shares what we should do with that knowledge. What does He say?

     | 6,086 views

    Today’s text is about the stewardship of your soul. Have you been saved or is salvation like a taxi cab ride? There is a relationship beyond your baptism because as it has been said, “your baptism is like a wedding ring”.

    WHERE WILL YOU BE WHEN THE DOOR CLOSES? Text: Matthew 25:1 - 13 The story is told of neighbors having a conversation. The “…were talking over the back fence. “I went to a wedding this weekend,” said one, “but I don’t think the marriage will last.” “Why Not?” asked the other. “well when ...read more

    The society of Noah’s day was completely depraved; it was violent, inclined towards evil, hateful of any trace of goodness, constantly developing evil Imaginations, and except for 8 souls whom God had granted grace to, completely God rejecting.

    I am not talking solely about Christ's return today. We should live our lives in such a way that every day people see Jesus in us. And then, when Christ returns, we’ll be unashamed before Him.

    I want to start off today by naming a few random items. As I name these items, I want to know what do you think of as I name these things. A flashlight. A battery-operated radio. A cell phone charger. And bottled water. What do you think of? Usually when we gather items like these it is ...read more

    This message looks at the believer’s responsibility to remain faithful in sharing the light of Jesus and proclaiming the gospel. It also views the horrible fate that awaits those who do not have the light of Christ abiding within them.

    This evening’s message is entitled, “Keep Your Lamps Burning,” and it’s taken from what is called, “The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins.” Back when I was in high school, our choir once sang an old Negro spiritual that went like this: “Keep your lamps trimmed and burning, for the time is ...read more
