    In these three stories about what to do until while waiting for him to come back, Jesus encourages the faithful and warns the faithless.

    If you’ve been following along this series in your Bible at home, you’ll know that we finished the series on the Sermon on the Mount last week.

    Contributed by David Owens on Oct 23, 2023
     | 4,460 views

    In Mark 13, Jesus prepared His disciples for two future events: the destruction of Jerusalem and His second coming. The first event would come with warnings, but the second will be a surprise. Readiness and alertness and trust in the Lord were necessary for both.

One day there was an airplane that was having engine trouble, so the pilot instructed the cabin crew to have the passengers take their seats and get prepared for an emergency landing. 1.

    Preparation is so important. In Mark 14, in Jesus' final days before His crucifixion, we see Him making final preparations for Himself and His disciples. If we haven't made spiritual preparation in advance, then i will be too late when the storm arrives, or the battle begins.

    Introduction A. The story is told about a football game that took place between the big animals and the little animals. 1.

    Living Like There’s No Tomorrow

    We have a high life expectancy; we've got plenty of time. So Peter’s warning that the end is near is shocking. Peter speaks as if this truth ought to change our thoughts and actions! Peter’s living life by a different paradigm!

    LIVING LIKE THERE’S NO TOMORROW 1 Pet. 4:7-11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. One day at the Church, Father O’Malley answered the phone, “Hello?” A voice said, “Is this Father O’Malley?” “Yes, it is.” “This is the IRS.

    This sermon is a take off from a previous sermon of mine entitled "For the Love of Christ." It discusses the return of Christ and how we must live today for our hope of tomorrow.

    WE’VE ALL HEARD ABOUT ··· The return of Jesus Christ, and how He will then take us home with Him. WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG ··· I was afraid of Jesus. My older brother said if I wasn’t careful, Jesus would reach out from the radio and pull me in with Him. THAT’S THE SAME BROTHER ··· Who told me I ...read more

    Eschatology 3 Of 16 Our Glorified Bodies (2 Of 2)

     | 1,645 views

    In the last two sermons, we have been talking about the rapture of the church. I want to remind you again, the rapture is different from the second coming of Christ.

    • At the Second Coming, the Lord will literally come to the earth and set up His kingdom on earth for a thousand years. • When the rapture of the church takes place, the Lord will not come back to the earth, but the church will be caught up to meet Him in the air. Look at 1 Thess 4:17 “Then we ...read more
