    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".

    based on 36 ratings
     | 7,321 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.

     | 33,625 views

    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

    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?

    I saw a segment on TV the other day about a feature in Cleo magazine which lists Australia’s 50 most eligible bachelors.

    based on 19 ratings
     | 4,957 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.

     | 6,416 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

    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.

    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
