    Jesus described the next end time event in the program for Israel following His return to earth, also referred to as the Second Advent, namely, judgment on living Israel in order to separate the saved from the unsaved.

    In Jesus’ last sermon before He was betrayed, He stressed the need to keep watch and be ready for His return, emphasizing it with three parables. Are you doing what He expects from you? This ought to be our concern today.

    We’ve just read a portion of Jesus’ last sermon to His disciples before He was betrayed. • It stretches from Chapter 23 to 25, with a large part of it about His second coming. • This is the main theme of His long message. It is understandable, since He is about to leave them. • Jesus needs to tell ...read more

    Christ prepares His disciples for his death and resurection in concert with the story of Lazurus.

    The sermon today is from John 11, the first 45 verses. If you really want, I will read it, but I think it best if I paraphrase it a little. Jesus is with his disciples a couple of weeks, maybe a month before Passover when he gets word from his friends Mary and Martha that their brother Lazurus ...read more
