     | 1,061 views

    You cannot read the New Testament without seeing that any person who names the name of Christ is called to live on the high level of returning good for evil.

    Introduction: This morning we come face to face with a practical problem confronting everyone here; namely, overcoming our resentment toward people we don't like. In our scripture today, Jesus suggests the higher call of Christian discipleship is not how well we get along with our friends, but ...read more

    The return of our Lord Jesus Christ is not a myth, not a metaphor, but a promised reality; a glorious truth that anchors our hope, fuels our mission, and compels our worship.

    Go! And Meet Christ in the Air - 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (NLT): "For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God.

    Renew Nehemiah Pt 1 Series

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Feb 21, 2021
     | 2,359 views

    We need to follow the example of Ezra and Nehemiah who returned to Jerusalem by the direction of the Lord to rebuild, restore, rejuvenate the Temple, the Worship of God and to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

    Opening focus and direction for message: Do you want to change the world? Video Illustrations: Clip 1: It all starts with a prayer: Evan prays and asks God to help him change the world – why because he was given a position of power and with that comes great responsibility to make a difference! ...read more

    So now we talk about the return home. And we see two predictions made, by Jeremiah and Isaiah, old testament prophets being fulfilled here.

    Last week we talked about how Israel was taken into captivity in Babylon. And during that time God continued to be with his people, even after they had failed him so completely. He worked through people like Daniel and Shadrach, Meshach and Abendigo. Daniel saw many dreams and visions, and even saw ...read more

    The transfiguration of Jesus looks backwards to Moses and Elijah, and looks forward to Jesus' passion, ascension and return. The transfiguration is significant for Jesus, His apostles, and all of us.

    Introduction: A. What are the most glorious things you have ever seen? 1. The birth of a baby? A breathtaking sunset? The pounding ocean surf or the shear force of the water going over Niagara Falls? 2. As glorious as those things are, none of those things can even come close to the glorious ...read more

    John the Baptist laid out a specific message that gives us the mission to bring confession and repentance into our life to keep us prepared and ready for the return of Jesus.

    TRUE REPENTANCE HATES THE SIN, AND NOT MERELY THE PENALTY; AND IT HATES THE SIN MOST OF ALL BECAUSE IT HAS DISCOVERED AND HAS FELT GOD'S REDEEMING LOVE.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,528 views

    There have been numerous teaching surges of the "Rapture" and what happens at the return of Jesus over the last 50+ years that have brought confusion and fear.

    Most often, the teaching of a Pre/Mid tribulation ‘Rapture’ re-appears during times of world crisis, social upheaval, pandemics, war, rumors of war, etc., to help bring focus on the soon-coming return of Jesus, who will stop it all and set up His Kingdom on Earth for 1,000 years.

    The very next thing that will happen on God's prophetic calendar is the rapture of the church. It's when Jesus will return in the clouds and quickly snatch away His bride, the church.

    INTRODUCTION I heard about a young, energetic preacher who was preaching in a small country church. He was preaching on the second coming and was quoting the words of Jesus from Revelation 22. He moved to the edge of the platform and shouted, “Jesus said, ‘Behold I come quickly!” Then his mind ...read more

    "Even though the believer wants to be delivered from the guilt and penalty of sin, he will not be free from the presence of sin until he goes to be with the Lord or Christ returns.

    Struggle of a Saved Soul. Romans 7:15-25 15 For what I am doing, I do not understand.

    Jesus was forthright in declaring that He came from the Father, and that He would return to the Father. Christmas is recognition of this truth, pointing especially to the sacrifice of the Saviour for the sin of mankind.

    “I have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father. In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; for the Father ...read more

    The parables of the lost are all about lost sinners returning to the Lord. There is also another message in these parables that give us direct access to God, if you only but look.

    Prayer: My I speak in the name of the father, son and holy ghost, and let the words of my mouth and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable in your sight, Amen, Thanks Martyn. On a different note, today’s sermon is on the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin and the lost son. … Last ...read more
