Last week, we talked about the story of a guy named Daniel and the Lion’s Den. This week we are going to continue the story about the Babylonian captivity. Specifically, we ...read more

    There are times when we might stray from the Lord. Sometimes it lasts for a short period; sometimes it's for a longer period. When it happens God longs for our return and he never gives up on us.

    RETURN TO ME There are times when we might stray from the Lord. Sometimes it lasts for a short period; sometimes it's for a longer period. When it happens God longs for our return and never gives up on us. He'll go out of his way to try to bring us to our senses so we would return to him. ...read more

    For those who are alive at the start of the Millennium, they are ones who will have lived through the cataclysmic events of the return of Jesus Christ—called the “day of the Lord” in the Bible. Their physical lives will continue as the Kingdom of God is established here on earth

    1st Thessalonians 4:9-18 offers words of fraternal love and how we should work towards an orderly life while awaiting Christ's return. “But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another; and indeed you do so ...read more

    Superheroes have captured Americans’ imagination for a long time. We all know the saying, “It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no, it’s Superman!” It’s not an angel coming. It’s not a prophet coming. It’s the Lord Himself coming. “It’s a prophet. It’s an angel. No, it’s the Lord.”

    I invite you to find the book of Malachi with me if you will [page 954 in your pew Bibles]. Today’s Scripture You have wearied the LORD with your words. But you say, “How have we wearied him?” By saying, “Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delights in them.” Or by ...read more

    The Point Of No Return

    The unpardonable sin. That word is scary, isn’t it? Unpardonable! It’s not something that you normally hear in connection with God, is it?

    The Point of No Return Mat 12:22-32 Mat 12:22-32 Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw. (23) And all the multitudes were amazed and said, "Could this be the Son of David?" (24) Now when ...read more

    In Joel 2:12-17, the prophet renews his impassioned plea to return unto the Lord through a call for repentance. This call has two facets in first a 1) Personal (Joel 2:12–14) then a 2) Corporate response (Joel 2:15–17) to God.

    Joel 2:12–17. 12 “Yet even now,” declares the LORD, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; 13 and rend your hearts and not your garments.” Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and he ...read more

    "This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.” (Acts 1:11)

    The Miraculous Ascension Jesus is a fulfilled Biblical theme. After Resurrection Sunday, Jesus led the disciples out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them. While he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven (Luke 24:50-51). Luke began his Gospel with ...read more

    When a believer dies, others are not to grieve like those who have no hope in Christ. But for believers we are grieving for ourselves and our loss, not for the person that died. This assurance believers have is because of the hope we have in Christ.

    Do we know the exact time of the return of the Lord? Yes, we do! But didn’t Jesus say, “that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven” (Mathew 24:36). Yes, He did say that. Then how do we know the day and hour of the return of Christ? It is when the trumpet sounds. It is just ...read more

    The invitation was to live in the ways of God. It was an invitation to come back to the ways that the people knew were right. When Hosea uses the words “let us”, he speaks in clear terms here to communicate that those who needed to return to the LORD were not alone.

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Play the video “RESTORED.” Israel had wondered far away from its place of origin. As if a child lost in a store, she is drawn away by delights of the eye, sensual insights and an overwhelming urgency to seek her own way. She awakens; finding herself tossed into the gutter of ...read more

    Palm Sunday represents the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem as King of Israel. Although all his life He had been poor and obscure, at last His identity as the Son of David was recognized, nationally. Every knee shall bow & every tongue confess the King!

    THE RETURN OF THE KING Luke 19:12-15,27 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: UNLOADING THE WORD 1. Pastor Ken Sumrall tells a story from his days of pasturing in Mississippi years ago.

    let us take a moment to ponder the depth of these words. Not tomorrow, not next week, not in some distant future, but today! During our trials, our tribulations, and our struggles, Jesus offers us immediate access to paradise, to the very presence of God Himself.

    RETURN TO SENDER. And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”"Luke 23:43, ESV. Brothers and sisters, today we gather in the presence of the Almighty, holding onto the promise that resonates from the lips of our Savior, Jesus Christ. In the midst of agony ...read more

    The fifteenth chapter of Luke gives us a wealth of information about a certain Jewish family.

    For example, we know from this scripture: • “A certain man had two sons.” (v. 11) • The younger son seemed to be a problem child. Look at verse 12. We read, “And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me...” • -The younger son was ...read more
