    Preparing For Christ's Second Coming

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 8, 2025
     | 753 views

    The second coming of Christ is an event that will forever change the course of human history. As believers, we are called to be ready, to live in constant anticipation, and to prepare ourselves spiritually, mentally, and emotionally.

    PREPARING FOR CHRIST'S SECOND COMING By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 25:1-13 "Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom." Supporting Texts: Mark 13:32-37, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, 2 Peter ...read more

    Our Blessed Hope - The Second Coming Of Christ

    Paul reassures the believers in Thessalonica who were afraid that those who had died would miss the Second Coming as he writes of the Return, the Resurrection, the Rapture and the Reunion.

    OUR BLESSED HOPE - THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS There’s often an interesting background to what we read in Paul’s letters to the young churches he had founded. The verses we’ve just read (1 Thess 4:13-17) are his response to a misunderstanding that had caused grief to the new Christians at ...read more

    What Are You Waiting For? Series

    Contributed by Mark Haines on Dec 11, 2001
    based on 56 ratings
     | 4,898 views

    A deductive exposition of the text calling seekers to receive Christ and believers to grow in grace in order to meet him face to face without any shame when he returns.

    Introduction: Does anyone here like to wait? I know many of us struggle with procrastination at times, but do you really enjoy waiting? How many people here look for the longest slowest line when making a purchase at the store? Don’t we prefer to grumble and complain when the line we left for a ...read more

    Significent Signs Of The Times

    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Nov 23, 2002
    based on 24 ratings
     | 4,554 views

    As we review these significant signs of the times that will be in place prior to our Lord’s return, we can "lift up our eyes for our redemption draweth nigh".

    SIGNIFICANT SIGNS OF THE TIMES "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come." "But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived." II Timothy 3:1, 13. I. PERILOUS TIMES WILL COME! The Greek word “chalepoi” can, with equal ...read more

    Meekness: The Bit And Bridle Syndrome

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,345 views

    The reward of meekness, of being controlled by the Holy Spirit, is the assurance that when Christ returns and ushers in the new creation, we will be there to rejoice with the saints and enjoy God’s presence forever.

    I saw a segment on TV the other day about a feature in Cleo magazine which lists Australia’s 50 most eligible bachelors. As you can imagine, they were the epitome of what you might describe as desirable young men. They were the sort who get elected as the school captain, or who get leading parts in ...read more

    Committed To Tenant Work

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Oct 7, 2005
    based on 19 ratings
     | 4,943 views

    The reason is that we, the church, are those to whom the vineyard was given and we need to be committed to tenant work. We are now those to whom the vineyard is rented and God expects returns!

    COMMITTED TO TENANT WORK LUKE 20:9-19 READ LUKE 20:9-19 I. THE SITUATION The situation that Jesus describes in the opening lines of his parable is probably not a situation that the people He is teaching are unfamiliar with. There have always been men who build and then move on. Owners of farms ...read more

    In Memoriam Series

    based on 14 ratings
     | 16,063 views

    In Communion, the people of God declare fellowship with one another because of fellowship with Christ, renew their anticipation of the return of the Saviour, and remember His sacrifice. This message focuses on remembering the Saviour.

    1 CORINTHIANS 11:23-25 IN MEMORIAM “I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, ‘This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way also ...read more

    The Midnight Cry

     | 16,243 views

    I compare this parable to 10 people go to church 5 are ready to meet Jesus and 5 are not. 5 think they are but are fooled when Christ returns for the rapture of the church.

    The Midnight Cry Mathew 25:1:13 1 ¶ Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the ...read more

    Hearing God's Word

     | 6,373 views

    Nehemiah’s reading of the Law to the returned exiles produced a spiritual revival. In today’s materialistic world, do we not need to hear God’s Word afresh

    Nehemiah 8 highlights the fact that after reconstruction there is a great need for reinstruction. We must learn to see life from God’s perspective. We need to change the way we think about ourselves and about life. All of us have been greatly affected by the philosophy of the world, much more than ...read more

    based on 36 ratings
     | 7,308 views

    We must return to the Biblical way of training faithful leaders. God’s word reveals a very different plan than what we typically see today.

    Training Faithful Leaders 2 Timothy 2:1 You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, these entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also. 3 Suffer hardship with me, as a ...read more

    What Must Happen Before Jesus Comes? Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Nov 24, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,730 views

    The imminence of Christ's return has been taken to a point where certain Scriptures are now just ignored. Better to see imminence as a personal thing, which it truly is!

    6. WHAT MUST COME BEFORE CHRIST? From this point on, I am assuming that Paul spoke the truth when he gave the fact of II Thessalonians 2. And that Peter also spoke the truth when he told his people to look for Jesus, though many things were coming first. Assuming there is no secret rapture, since ...read more

    The Parable of the ten virgins - by focusing on 3 symbols, a Wedding, foolish virgins, and the wise virgins leading up to a lesson to be watching for Christ's return and ready once He does.

    The Midnight Cry Introduction: In an a news article from Austin, Texas: The headline read: MAN EXPERIENCES HEART ATTACK AFTER THE RAPTURE Herbert Washington, whom co-workers at Significant Plastics Inc. say was unduly concerned with the rapture and the second coming of Christ, suffered a ...read more

    The Little Apocalypse

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 10, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,103 views

    We do not know the day and the hour when Jesus will return, so we also need to keep awake and be watchful. This message is not just for the early disciples, but for us all.

    THE LITTLE APOCALYPSE. Mark 13:1-37. I. Mark 13, and its equivalents in Matthew 24 and Luke 21:5-36, is sometimes entitled “the little apocalypse.” This passage is poised between Jesus’ teaching in the Temple (Mark 12), and the account of the Passion (Mark 14-15). The main thrust of the chapter ...read more

    Heaven Is A Party Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jun 24, 2013
     | 7,021 views

    Heaven is party-central, and the party starts now, but doesn't get into full gear till we get to Heaven, or when Jesus returns--whichever comes first.

    When Biblical writers speak of Heaven, they often use figurative language. I suspect the reason is that they’re trying to express heavenly realities with the limitations of human language. Trying to describe Heaven to us is like trying to describe this world to an unborn child. And so ...read more

    Paul tells me that God’s people "eagerly await" Christ’s return. But why? Why should we be excited and what is it that will make this such a wonderful event for us?

    OPEN: People’s minds have been focused on the end of the world of late. A few years ago I began to hear predictions the world would end in 2012 (next year) - a speculation based upon an oddity in an ancient Mayan Calendar. This created quite a stir because the Mayan calendar was an extremely ...read more
