    Words matter. Words are powerful. The Devil uses words against us and his words are dangerous to live by!

    Pt. 3 - Later Introduction You may think these shelves are full but even if they were completely empty they still couldn't hold the number of books self-published just online in one year. Did you know that in 2018 the total number of print and e- books that were self-published was 1.68 million ...read more

    A passage of teaching at the Fiji Officers councils 2021. This led to a discussion about what is the good oil that fuels our ministry and keeps us intentional.

    Being intentional: The parable of the ten virgins. Matthew 25:1-13 At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with ...read more

    The "second Coming" Of Our Lord

    Contributed by Byron Perrine on Jul 9, 2019
     | 6,095 views

    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

    A sermon to help us use our time wisely and prepare us for the coming of the Lord.

    INTRODUCTION Life is about a series or sequence of waits. There are a number of things we will wait for in our journey of life. We keep moving from one season or chapter of waiting, to another season or chapter of waiting. For example, if you just took an exam, you are waiting for your results to ...read more

    How does your lamp measure up?

    The Bible Lamps God’s lights are every where look and see. Ever wonder why God’s lights are so many and we don’t see them. Matthew 25: 1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and ...read more

    Will You Be Ready?

    Contributed by Scott Nichols on Jan 18, 2019
     | 12,917 views

    What if in the next moment - even as my words fall upon your ears - Christ returned with the shout of the archangel and the trumpet blast? "Faithful and true would He find us here, if He should come today?" Would you be ready?

    The hymn we have just sung asks a pointed question. A question that I fear too often we dismiss in our daily lives. With all the concerns of living in the present moment - with all of the accompanying joys or frustrations - we fail to give much thought to the final moment. That moment when time, as ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 1, 2023
     | 2,315 views

    Paul commands the Thessalonians not to quench the Spirit. We will consider that and the ministry of the Holy Spirit, and the use of gifts given to every believer. Biblical prophecies are not to be despised through neglect or misappropriation. Victory in storms.

    MESSAGE 13 - 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 5:19-20 – DO NOT QUENCH THE HOLY SPIRIT; AND USE YOUR GIFT {{1Thessalonians 5:19 Do not quench the Spirit. 1Thess 5:20 Do not despise prophetic utterances.”}} Quench not the Spirit.

    Just because you are a church member, gives no guarantee of salvation. All quote from Scripture is from the NASB

    Jesus is coming again. Each day is one day closer to that Day. Jesus give many warning about that day. Matthew 24:42 “Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. In His Olivet Discourse, Jesus talks about the perilous times that wait for us as the time of His ...read more

    We were given insights to the judgment where all evil beasts and Satan, himself, were cast into the lake which burns with fire and brimstone. Here in chapter 20 we see the first punishment upon Satan where he is cast into the bottomless pit for a thousand years.

    A thorough study of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show his servants things which must shortly come to pass. (Rev. 1:1) Welcome to our study of the Revelation of Jesus Christ given unto Apostle John. I am Phillip Smith, your host and fellow servant of our Lord and ...read more

    Five Wise and Five Foolish Bridesmaids

    Today, as we read in the Gospel Jesus’ parable about the Ten Bridesmaids, I couldn’t but reminisce two memorable experiences I had in September 2013. First, my experience of visiting the Holy Land during the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah. Rosh Hashanah is one of Judaism’s holiest days. It ...read more

     | 2,264 views

    To be ready for Jesus, to be ready for God, we have to be in the habit of turning Godward at every crossroads.

    Procrastination. Putting things off. It’s a fault that most of us have had to wrestle with, one time or another. And you know what causes it? Do you know why people procrastinate? I’ve decided that we procrastinate when we don’t want to do what we know we ought to do. And so we wait for something ...read more

    The parable of the wheat tares gives us insight to some of the workings of the enemy. We will fight his tactics with faith declarations marinated with prayer.

    While Men Slept PPT 1 Title “While Men Slept” PPT 2- 8 Text Matthew 13:24 Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.

    There are 3 conditions the people of God find themselves in when they meet a crisis: Not Enough, Just Enough, and More Than Enough. This is a message about spiritual poverty or spiritual abundance.

    Thirty-Second Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year A: Ten Virgins- Bring Your Own Oil

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 13, 2023
     | 1,423 views

    “The trumpet, scattering its awful sound. Across the graves of all lands, Summons all before the throne. Remember, gentle Jesus, that I am the reason for your time on earth, do not cast me out on that day, When the damned are confounded, and consigned to keen flames, call me with the blessed.”

    BYOB stands for Bring Your Own Beverage. Today’s parable is about preparing for our individual and irrevocable particular judgment at death and it is always a Bring Your Own Oil affair—BYOO. [Thanks to Troy Borst for this phrase] The inevitable sleep of death overtook all ten of them, and our ...read more
