    Is all that religious stuff necessary? The foolish found out, as you will, when the rapture takes place and when you find the door shut in your face.

    THE WISE AND THE FOOLISH Matt 25:1-13 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with ...read more

    When you consider the coming of Jesus Christ, what do you see taking place in your life? The prophecies regarding the coming of Christ found in the word of God was never meant to bring you thoughts of panic, doom or discouragement.

    THE MIDNIGHT CRY The recent events, taking place in the news, continue to challenge my heart with the fact that Jesus is coming soon. Although I am troubled with the terror that has gripped our nation, I am not discouraged or surprised with what the Lord has planned for this world. As believers ...read more

     | 10,214 views

    A short sermon which asks whether we are prepared for the return of Jesus. Are we like the 5 virgins (bridesmaids) who had plenty of oil, or like the 5 who were not prepared?

    As Jesus told this parable he was already well into a lengthy explanation of events surrounding his second coming (Matthew chapter 24). He spoke this before his death and resurrection, but it concerns his second coming. Jesus has said (Matthew 24: 14) that “this gospel of the kingdom will be ...read more

    A sermon for Remembrance Sunday - the UK’s version of Veteran’s Day, always on the second Sunday in November.

    It’s very daunting for me to stand in a pulpit on this day of all days.

He sent his book out free to people all over the United States. There must have been ...read more
