    In the midst of this turmoil, God speaks of hope, victory, and the arrival of His King. Following Jesus is not simply about moral behaviour—it is about living in anticipation of the King’s return

    Jesus warns us to be ready for His return. He warns us because the danger and threat is real. To do so, He tells us story about 10 virgins who are waiting for the return of the Bridegroom. The parable is explained and applied to the hearer.

    In Annie Dillard’s Teaching a Stone to Talk, she talks about a British Artic expedition which set sail in 1845 to chart the Northwest Passage around the Canadian Artic to the Pacific ocean. Neither of the two ships and 138 men on board returned. Why? They packed their ship like they were going ...read more

    John the Baptist helps us get ready for Advent. He points us to baptism, repentance, and the Mighty One, Jesus Christ. This sermon looks at the text and then shifts into an application with two illustrations.

    To borrow the words of Meredith Wilson: “It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go.” Thanksgiving is done and the leftovers are consumed. Black Friday is over. Cyber Monday and Cyber week are finished. This week, we had our first real taste of winter and Minnesota weather ...read more

    We live between two monumental events: the first Advent, when Jesus came as a baby in Bethlehem, and the second Advent, when He will return as King of kings and Lord of lords. This period is not a passive waiting game; it is an active, purposeful, and hope-filled time.

We live between two monumental events: the first Advent, when Jesus came as a baby in Bethlehem, and the second Advent, when He will return as King of kings and Lord ...read more

    The Prodigal Son was hungry but he couldn’t even eat the filth of the world. His only hope was to go home. Jesus is waiting for you to come home.

All of those parables teach some very important lessons that every one of us should learn and heed. This morning I want to speak to you about one of those parables. It’s the very ...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

    For the child of God, there is the assurance that Jesus will return for them.

    I am so thankful to God that I do not have hope in this life only. For if we do, the Apostle Paul states that we are men that are most miserable. But God gives His children a joy that is unspeakable and full of glory. God has taken the misery of our lives and placed it on Christ as He hung on the ...read more
