    This sermon incorporates and adapts “The Parable of the Ten Virgins—A Picture of the Second Coming”, a sermon by Joseph Wallis, Sermon Central, Jan. 2002, to whom credit is hereby acknowledged.

    (We invite you to visit us at www.HeritageRestorationProject.org or www.ChristianWisdom.info) The prophecy of the Second Coming of Jesus is often either misunderstood by Christians themselves, or, the object of derision and ridicule among non-Christians. And yet, it is one of the most important ...read more

     | 5,563 views

    You may think that when you step out on faith that God is going to sit back and just watch you work. God will go before you and get the conversation started so when you get there all you have to do is show up prepared and God will show out!

    2 Kings 8:1-6 (NKJV) When the King Restores March 5, 2023 Today’s scripture begins with the Shunamite woman we preached about in chapter 6, where we learned that she had prepared a rooftop room with a bed, a desk and chair for Elisha.

    The King Has Come Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Dec 24, 2021
     | 2,570 views

    Since the King has Come and is coming again, the Apostle Paul presents four aspects of the Father’s exaltation of the Son: 1) The source (Philippians 2:9a), 2) The title (Philippians 2:9b), 3) The response (Philippians 2:10–11a), and 4) The purpose (Philippians 2:11b).

    Philippians 2:9–11. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. ...read more
