    Jesus is coming soon. Are you ready?

    BEHIND THE CLOUDS Mathew 25:1-13 1. Then shall the Kingdom of Heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the Bridegroom. 2.

    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

    Waiting for Jesus return can make people grow complacent about the fact that He IS indeed coming back, and it really will be soon.

    Ready and Waiting? by Steve Keeler Matthew 25:1-13 Jesus is telling a story about ten virgins who are like bridesmaids at a wedding. In order to make sense of Jesus' story, we need to understand a bit about Jewish wedding customs. Traditionally, the groom would leave from his house and travel, ...read more

    How Gideon Formed His Attack On The Enemy Camp Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 10, 2019
     | 4,302 views

    Gideon’s battle plan appears to have been carefully worked out, but whether it was beholden to his spiritual illumination we cannot say. But what we can say is that his methods were a type of psychological warfare.

    Chapter 25 How Gideon Formed His Attack on the Enemy Camp [Judges 7.16-7.20] Scripture 16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. 17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do ...read more

    The "Holy Place" was the ultimate place of worship for Old Testament Priests. What was it about the furniture in this room that God wanted to teach us?

    OPEN: One Sunday morning an old cowboy entered a church just before services were to begin. Although the old man and his clothes were spotlessly clean, he wore jeans, a denim shirt and boots that were very worn and ragged. In his hand he carried a worn out old hat and an equally worn out bible. ...read more

    I compare this parable to 10 people go to church 5 are ready to meet Jesus and 5 are not. 5 think they are but are fooled when Christ returns for the rapture of the church.

    The Midnight Cry Mathew 25:1:13 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 them: 4 But the ...read more

    Will You Be Ready?

    Contributed by Scott Nichols on Jan 18, 2019
     | 12,618 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

    Holiness

     | 51,378 views

    Explains that holiness is more than righteous actions, but is being specially set apart as the Temple of God and for the purpose of sharing the Good News. Also shows that the means of attaining holiness is the empowerment of the Holy Spirit of God.

    “Holiness” As someone who has grown up Pentecostal, I am very familiar with the term “holiness.” I’ve heard sermons on holiness from before the time I could even say the word. And I hear all kinds of people quoting “Be holy as I am holy” After all, several times God did say that to his people. And ...read more

    A Question From A Lawyer

    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,414 views

    This sermon parallels the acts of the Good Samaritan to the provisions of Jesus Christ for the sin-sick soul, and then puts each us into that same position as well.

    A Question from a Lawyer By Pastor Jim May Don’t you just love to deal with lawyers? They are just fun people to be around. No – not really! Many of our experiences with lawyers have been, how shall I say it: Less than positive. I rank them right up there with going to the dentist. Now I ...read more

    God Provides In Difficult Times

    The brief account of the widow’s oil illustrates God’s blessing of those who are faithful to His word. God provides a means of income for the widow and her family, using things she has on hand, along with the charity of people around them.

    God Provides in Difficult Times A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.” So Elisha said to her, “What ...read more
