     | 9,567 views

    Just days prior to the crucifixion, Jesus spoke to His disciples regarding the events surrounding the end times. While we cannot predict the day, nor the hour, we can see the stage being set for His return!

    Signs of the End (Part 1) Matthew 24: 3-14 Today I want to begin a study on what is known as the Olivet Discourse. Jesus spoke these words in His last days prior to the crucifixion in response to the disciples’ questions regarding His return and the end of the age. These verses have been ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Nov 15, 2017
     | 12,278 views

    Jesus speaks of our need to prepare for His return. We are encouraged to live lives of worship and devotion to God as we watch and wait for the Bridegroom. (This is part of our lectionary-based series for November 2017, "BE the Church.")

    Last Sunday we had a gender reveal party to find out if we’re having a boy or a girl in April. I was so convinced it was a boy, based on how different the first trimester had been this time around. But then, with friends gathered around, we popped a large black balloon with question marks all over ...read more

    Jesus Answers The Divorce Question Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Sep 11, 2023
     | 1,690 views

    When Jesus returned to His public ministry in Mark 10, the Pharisees tried to trap Him with a question about divorce. Jesus dealt with their question by directing them back to God's original design and intent in creation.

    A. In the last two sermons in our sermon series on the Gospel of Mark, we have been watching Jesus privately teaching His disciples some very important lessons on discipleship. 1. The topics He discussed with them were about prayer, the passion of Jesus, pride and prejudice. 2. I trust that we have ...read more

    These scriptures refer to the second coming of Jesus Christ. Sooner than most of us believe, Christ will return to catch his bride away. A warning is found here to those who are not prepared to stand before the judgment seat of God.

    If we are to have a part in God's Kingdom, if we expect to be saved from the judgment of God, we must be prepared. To expect heaven to be our home one day, doesn't come by chance. Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people. John 14. There will be no time for preparation at the end of ...read more

    Believing Without Seeing

     | 9,447 views

    On the day of Jesus's return we will see him, in person, face to face. Until that great day, we are those who have not seen, yet believe. We are those who have not touched and seen and heard.

    There are some things about us that we just have, naturally. Think about how children look. Every child receives some features from his or her parents, like red hair or brown eyes or a certain shape of nose or chin. And sometimes we think faith is like that too. We say, “I’m pretty sure I have ...read more

    A Word Concerning Confrontation Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 1, 2021
     | 2,775 views

    Most of us have, at some point, desired to get even with those who have wronged us. There is something within our human nature that desires to “return the favor.” These attitudes are contrary to God's will for our lives.

    A Word Concerning Confrontation Matthew 5: 38-42 As we continue our study in the Sermon on the Mount, we come to a passage that we all have heard a portion of quoted many times in our lives: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. This is often quoted in anger, or in a desire to repay a wrong ...read more

    In the end of times, Israel can expect a huge battle and much suffering, but Christ will return to deliver them and rout the enemies, establishing His millennial kingdom of holiness. The glorious end is certain for Israel and the world. We trust Him.

    We started the book of Zechariah in OCT last year and we’re ending it today. The last oracle (chapters 12-14) talks about the future of Israel. • Everything is uncertain to the returnees in Zechariah’s time (520BC) but the future is certain to God; He planned it.

    David returns with his 600 men to find the Amalekits have ransacked his town (Zicklag), and carried off his and all his men's families and possessions. What a tragedy! How did David respond?

    Who Judges And When?

    Only Jesus can shed light on the nuances of every human judgement, and He will do that either when He returns in glory to judge everyone, or when each of us dies and renders a report on our gifts and thoughts and actions.

    Friday of the Twenty-Second Week in Course 2024 Living in the kind of highly polarized society we have today, one must be uncommonly careful about what you say to others, or even what your face does when you are interacting with another person.

    Waiting With Expectation: Living As Ready Servants

    Jesus calls us to live with anticipation and readiness for His return. He reminds us that our Heavenly Father has prepared a wonderful inheritance for us—His kingdom—and that we should live in a state of vigilance and faithfulness.

    1. The Comfort of God's Pledge (Luke 12:32) Jesus begins with a word of reassurance: “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.” This is a comforting reminder that our Heavenly Father’s desire is to bless us with His kingdom. His love is ...read more

    On this Father's Day, we honor all fathers and inspire them to be the best they can be through the strength of Christ. We delve into the story of the Prodigal Son, not only focusing on the son's return, but also on the unwavering faith of the father who waited.

    Today, we honor fathers and trust that, through faith, we can be the best we can be with the strength of Christ. In this sermon, we will not only look at the return of the Prodigal son but also the faith of the waiting father. In Luke 15:11-31, Jesus tells a parable about a father and his two sons. ...read more

    As followers of Christ, we find hope in the promise of His return and the renewal of all things. But what about our present circumstances? The Bible provides numerous instances of God's restorative power, demonstrating His glory and our benefit.

    As believers, our hope rests in the promise that Christ will come back for us and make all things new. But what about the present? The Bible shows us how God restores and makes things new for His glory and our good. 1. 2 Kings 8:1-6 - The Woman's Land Restored: Elisha tells a woman to leave her ...read more
