Christ The Coming King

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Dec 28, 2015

In Revelation 1:7-8 John presents five truths about His second coming and answers these questions in considering its 1) Necessity (Revelation 1:7a), 2) Glory (Revelation 1:7b), 3) Scope, Response (Revelation 1:7c), and 4) Certainty (Revelation 1:8).

As the end of the year approaches, it is natural to consider what comes next. We spend so much time considering the birth of Christ. But for every time the Bible mentions the first coming of Christ, it mentions the second coming 8 times. Despite the scoffers who deny the Second Coming (2 Pet. ...read more

Contributed by Richard Tow on Feb 1, 2016

In many sectors of our society “tolerance” is equated with “love.” But is that a biblical concept? God is love; but was He tolerant of Sodom’s sin? Perhaps current assumptions about what love is should be examined in the light of biblical revelation.

Love Unquenchable (10-18-15 www.LifeChurchSpringfield.org) I take as my theme these words from Song of Solomon 8:7 “Many waters cannot quench love, Nor can the floods drown it….” On November 5, 1982 a precious gift from God was laid in my arms. Jeanie and I named her Kathy Jean ...read more
