    During this difficult "shelter-in-place" time, we have had hopes, dreams, plans, anticipations but mostly disappoints. During this global pandemic, the most common thing we have in common is DISAPPOINTMENTS. But disappointments do not have to lead to DISCOURAGEMENT.

    During this difficult “shelter-in-place” time, perhaps we had hopes, dreams, plans anticipations but surely disappointments. We had hoped to have a Sunrise Service at the cemetery. We had hoped to have a special Easter service at the church. We had hoped to have our family ...read more

    Everyone waits for Christmas. Christmas is the promise of gifts. In Simeon and Anna we see that finally the Christmas promise has arrived. The silence is over in these latter days God has spoken to us in His Son.

In the 400 years of Gods silence Rome has risen to power and controls the Promised Land. A remnant of the people of Israel are still ...read more

    The Signs Of The End Times

    When we see natural disasters and conflicts, we can be sure that Christ’s return is near. We must be ready, because he could return at any time. The promise of his return offers us hope.

    At first glance the reading we just heard from Luke 21:25-36 seems to be out of place during Advent. After all, most of us think of Advent as a time to prepare for Christmas. That is only partially true. Advent is also a time to remember and prepare for Christ’s Second Coming, and that ...read more

    When Joel wrote about the day of the Lord it was understood that this was some dreadful event coming like the invasion of a foreign army or a natural calamity like locusts destroying the crops and causing a famine. There was also a hopeful expectation to the day of the Lord that in the end it ...read more
