    Expectations Series

     | 7,463 views

    Advent is meant to be a time of expectation, a time of looking forward to God doing a new thing. It’s not meant to be a time of passively waiting for Christ’s return, it is a time of actively working toward the return of Jesus

    Expectations Luke 1:26-38 Today is the first day of the year on the Christian calendar, which always starts with the first Sunday of Advent. Advent means “the coming” and Christians have been celebrating Advent since the 4th century. Advent is about looking forward to and working for ...read more

    Jesus has told us we will not know the hour of His return. He does not wish us to spend our time in speculation on His return; instead He teaches us that we ought to be prepared at all times.

    Be Alert And Be Ready 10/25/09 AM Text: Matthew 24:42-44 INTRODUCTION: There is much being said today about the “End of Times” in various circles by people who believe that we are in the midst of apocalyptic prophesy fulfillment and that the return of our Lord and Savior is imminent.

    Israel had wandered from God, even though He sought them to return. He wanted to bless them, but they had to meet God's conditions. The church has much potential, but we too must return to the Lord.

    Now is the Time Hosea 10:12 Over the past few weeks we have considered the condition of Israel and her need for repentance. God loved His people and desired to have a fulfilling relationship with them. Unfortunately they sought the ways of the world and the desires of the flesh while neglecting ...read more

    The first two chapters of Ezra tells us that the exiled people returned to the promised land. But something even more important is taking place. The Lord’s people are returning to God. Now unity among the remnant group is essential.

    Musk oxen are herd animals, and groups of two or three dozen animals are sometimes led by a single female. Herds use cooperation to deal with attacks by arctic wolves. When threatened, they “circle the wagons” and array themselves with their young in the middle and their sharp horns facing outward ...read more

    Parents have the responsibility of preparing their families for Jesus' return. Fathers: leading spiritually. Mothers: examples of faith. We need to be mindful of the evil days we are in and set a positive example so that all are ready for Jesus’ return.

    God Given Opportunity To Do Good

    Contributed by Amar Chandnani on Aug 25, 2025
     | 306 views

    The purest form of goodness is expecting nothing in return. Because there is no hidden motive. When Christ Died for Us, He gave up His very life. Expecting nothing in return from us. He did it out of love!

    Galatians 6:9-10 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. Let’s step back in time to the days of the ...read more

    A sermon examining the fact that God's people should consider their ways and respond by changin their ways.

    CONSIDER YOUR WAYS Haggai 1:1-10 (Antioch Baptist church: Sunday, August 10th, 2025) Have you ever been called out for doing the wrong thing?

    The Day of the LORD may be fearsome to some people, but not to all people.

    AWAITING THE KING. Luke 21:25-36. This chapter contains Luke’s version of Jesus’ temple teaching about the future. The teaching consists of Jesus’ answer to a question posed by the disciples (Luke 21:7). The first part of His discourse (Luke 21:8-24) dealt with the fall of Jerusalem which would ...read more

    Q & A-THE END TIMES Based on a question in an email that I received. And then I gave my answer.

    Q & A: Q. What’s all the fuss about? Why are some Christians giving so much attention to the end times? There seems to be so many different theories about it. And of course, everyone thinks his or her theory is right. Where did these theories come from? It is all very confusing to me. A. ...read more

    THE ASCENSION OF ELIJAH. 2 Kings 2:1-12. I. ASCENSION The taking up of Elijah by the LORD prefigures the ascension of the Lord Jesus, and anticipates our own meeting with Jesus in the air. 1.

    Jesus is the First Born from the dead; raised in a glorified body. Every human from Adam onward will also be raised from the dead. What will our bodies be like? What do the Scriptures say?

    Colossians 1:15-23 (please open your Bibles as we read this passage) The entire gospel is based on the fact that Jesus was and is the one and only Son of God who was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, was crucified, buried and rose again from the dead for our salvation.

     | 7,440 views

    The Gospel of Christ calls us to live boldly, not safely. God calls His people to stand firm in this holy Faith rather than seeking to make people like them.

    “Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

    Jesus teaches us to pray always, never give up, and keep the faith until he returns. This kind of prayer keeps the line open with God throughout the day.

    Luke 18:1-8 Persistent Prayer George Mueller prayed for a man for 63 years to come to Christ, and finally the man did so. When Mueller died, he had documented 50,000 answers to prayer! 5,000 of those were answered on the day he prayed for them, which means that about 90% of the time he had to ...read more
