    The Little Apocalypse

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 10, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,101 views

    We do not know the day and the hour when Jesus will return, so we also need to keep awake and be watchful. This message is not just for the early disciples, but for us all.

    THE LITTLE APOCALYPSE. Mark 13:1-37. I. Mark 13, and its equivalents in Matthew 24 and Luke 21:5-36, is sometimes entitled “the little apocalypse.” This passage is poised between Jesus’ teaching in the Temple (Mark 12), and the account of the Passion (Mark 14-15). The main thrust of the chapter ...read more

    In the Christian life, there is only one audience that matters—our Heavenly Father. In Matthew 6, Jesus teaches us to live for the Audience of One. He warns us not to perform righteousness before others but to pursue a life that pleases God alone.

    Go! And Live for an Audience of One: The Secret Life of a True Disciple - Matthew 6:1-18 Introduction: Living for the Audience of One There’s an old story about a young violinist who practised day and night for years.

    The Weapons Of Our Warfare Series

    Contributed by Rick Thiessen on Jan 4, 2006
     | 4,948 views

    God is in a cosmic war with evil that he invites us to engage in. In Lewis’s TLTWTW we see parallels to biblical, spiritual weapons of our warfare in the gifts given to the children in Narnia: Sword, Cordial, Horn

    BE121105 WAR WITH GOD 2. The Sword, Cordial and Horn (TITLE SLIDE) INTRO Samaritan’s Purse put out a story about brutal persecution going on in Southeast Asia and the Sudan.

    Jesus encourages His disciples to pray. We have a right to ask great things of God, knowing that He will do what glorifies His Name.

    “[Jesus] told [the disciples] a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. He said, ‘In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, “Give me justice against my ...read more

    Calling, Purpose And Destiny

     | 10,007 views

    Have you wonder why you are alive at this time and age? What is the mission that God has for you? The Bible tells us God in Jer 29:11 that He has a plan for our lives. Therefore, we seek God persistently to help us to fulfill his plan and purpose for our lives.

    One of the most inspiring story of the Bible is the story of Joseph in Genesis chapters 37 to 41. When he was a young man, he received two dreams from God that one day he would be greatly used by God. He told the dreams to his brothers who were so jealous of him that they sold him to be a slave ...read more

    God’s will is not nearly the mystery we sometimes make it. God wants the lost saved, Christian to live godly lives, and for believers to pray. All three are inter-related.

    What God Wants 1 Timothy 2:1-10 Dr. Roger W. Thomas, Preaching Minister First Christian Church, Vandalia, MO Introduction: A guy was on a diet. His biggest temptation was donuts. As he drove down the street in front of his favorite donut shop, he prayed, “Lord, if you want me to have a ...read more

     | 5,356 views

    Instead of praying that God would just wrap us all up in bubble wrap so we never feel any pain or have any problems, it might help us to look at the prayers that are prayed in the Bible. In Paul’s prayer for the Thessalonian Christians, we can learn a lot

    A Prayer Over You 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 11 With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith. 12 We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus ...read more

    A Prayer For Revival Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 14, 2021
     | 3,606 views

    Many of you are praying for a better life and if God were to grant you your request, you would quickly become overconfident. And you would quickly move to spiritual indifference. Some of you are praying against THE VERY circumstances that God has arranged so you would better experience Him.

    I want to introduce you to a way you can pray for your believing friends to experience revival. Many of you enjoy speaking to your parents as often as you like. I was part of a funeral this week for a good man, a husband, and a father. He had been a member of this church for over twenty years and ...read more

    The Book We Skip And The God We Need

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Oct 27, 2025
     | 640 views

    How would you like to pray to this god to answer your desperate prayers each day? Prayer would be a gamble each and every time. If you were single and you were praying for love and marriage, this kind of mercurial god might give you Hannibal Lecter or Jeffrey Epstein for a boyfriend!

    Find the book of Nahum with me, a small book with a massive view of God. You won’t wake up one day to find Nahum trending on social media. If the Bible were a playlist, Nahum would be the song you’d skip every time. It’s the book we totally ignore. But we shouldn’t ignore it. Here’s why you ...read more

    Beloved, God said that he would withhold no good thing from us therefore do you have a desire to know the one who delivered us from sin, and do you have a burning desire to be in his presence knowing that your prayers are heard, then I invite you to pull up a chair and feast from this message.

    A true unity in the Lord is something we must never take for granted, and something for which we ought always to pray and work

    A few weeks ago another pastor told me, "Dan, things are not going the best at my church. It seems there is always controversy and division over something or someone. But, I guess church fights are normal. From what I understand, it is unusual for a congregation to go more than two years without a ...read more

    Ministering to others begins with praying to God for his guidance, power and blessing in opportunities to make his grace known through ministry.

    Ever notice how you pick up little habits from people without even noticing it? When I first became a Christian, the preacher at the University Church was a positive, encouraging gentleman named Harold Jones. He would always speak about the ‘wonderful love of Jesus’ and bob up and down on his ...read more
