    The Purpose Of Second Coming Prophecy

    Contributed by Mark Stepherson on May 29, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,348 views

    Many misinterpret second coming prophecy because they do not know its purpose. It is not to inform us about events. It is not to identify the anti-Christ. It is to inspire us to obedience.

    The Purpose of Second Coming Prophesy 2 Thessalonians 3:4-13 Thomas Fuller was born in Africa about 1710. He was sold as a slave in Virginia in 1724. There is some disagreement about whether someone taught him to count to 100 or if he taught himself. He never had a day of formal education. He ...read more

    The Turning Point

    Contributed by Scott Spencer on Sep 12, 2013
     | 5,133 views

    What is in view here is our salvation. God is revealing how He saves us. He is revealing how we are made right with Him. We call this justification. It is how we are made righteous before God.

    Up to this point in the book of Romans, we have seen how every human being stands condemned before God. The picture has been painted of a humanity that is utterly and totally without any hope. All of us stand before God guilty as charged. And there is absolutely nothing that any of us can do about ...read more

     | 4,670 views

    Any outpouring of the Spirit has its origin in the heart of God Himself. But, it’s birthed in the burden of believers who are in prayer.

    Revival: A Surprising Move of God (Pt.2) September 9, 2015 CFBC, Chester, IL Dr. Mike Fogerson A “Lord, what will You have me to do?” 1 On September 23, 1857, Jeremiah Lanphier (a missionary, street corner preacher, door-to-door soul winner) prayed this prayer out of a heart that ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 12,376 views

    In one word in the Greek, "Tetelestai!", Jesus proclaimed that his mission was finished. His death covered all our sins, and the pursuit of his mission to the end motivates us to pursue our God-given mission as we accept his forgiveness from the cross.

    Unfinished Business Seven Last Words from the Cross Part 6 * John 19:28, 30 It must be spring! In the last couple of weekends, I cut the grass twice, weeded, helped prepare a gravel and stone walkway, gathered up dead branches, and pruned the shrubs.

     | 1,390 views

    Either Jesus is who He said He is – or He is a liar … He cannot be both. We come to church today (of all days) to celebrate where our hope comes from; but we must see/admit our need for a Savior.

    Resurrection Sunday (Luke, Part 13) Luke 24:1-12 Introduction / Recap - Last week, we discussed the arrest, trial, crucifixion, and burial; saw three things: - First, a natural response (sadness, etc.) to Jesus’ suffering is not enough - Second, the cross is the most vivid illustration of John ...read more

    Obscure Patriots in the American Revolution brought about liberty from tyranny. The same is true today for the cause of Christ.

     | 11,228 views

    Not long ago, my wife Jane, asked me what was the difference between grace and mercy? I began rattling off some stuff, but soon realized I didn’t really know the difference either. I have researched it and found an answer.

    Let me share with you the difference between grace and mercy. I. Definitions A. Mercy is compassion shown to a law breaker or enemies. Mercy is not getting what we deserve. We deserve Hell for our sin, but God shows us mercy because of Jesus. This story will put mercy into a life situation: A ...read more

    The believer’s life is to be focused on the will and work of God. A Christian’s purpose for being on earth is to serve God, to obey and work for Him.
