    Gratitude transforms our lives; when we return to thank Jesus for His mercy, we experience deeper wholeness and the richness only gratitude can bring.

    Some of the most powerful moments in Scripture begin with a simple cry for help. Think about it: a whisper becomes a waterfall, a sigh becomes a song. When weary people raise faint voices to heaven, heaven hears. In Luke 17, ten tired men lifted ten shaky prayers. They were outcasts, pushed to the ...read more

    The message of “Behold, I come quickly” is a wake-up call to every believer. Jesus’ return is not only certain but also imminent, and it will bring both reward and judgment. We must be watchful, live holy lives, and keep our hearts focused on Christ, ready to meet Him at any moment.

    The parable of the ten virgins is given to accentuate the incalculable importance of being spiritually prepared to meet Christ when He returns to earth, because after He appears, unbelievers who are then alive will have no further chance for salvation.

    A fun part of summer are the frequent weddings that occur. So much has changed over the years with weddings.

    Paul reassures the believers in Thessalonica who were afraid that those who had died would miss the Second Coming as he writes of the Return, the Resurrection, the Rapture and the Reunion.

    OUR BLESSED HOPE - THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS There’s often an interesting background to what we read in Paul’s letters to the young churches he had founded.

    The reason is that we, the church, are those to whom the vineyard was given and we need to be committed to tenant work. We are now those to whom the vineyard is rented and God expects returns!

    COMMITTED TO TENANT WORK LUKE 20:9-19 READ LUKE 20:9-19 I.
