The End Times - Signs Or Salvation Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 22, 2005

Jesus gives His disciples some signs to look for in the end times - but not so they would focus on the signs, but so that they wouldn’t panic and would do the Master’s will instead

Today we’re going to study the end times. No, I’m not going to set a date for Jesus’ return. No, I’m not going to answer all questions about the Tribulation or the Rapture. But what we are going to see is what Jesus tells us to think about the last days. And it might actually surprise you. 1 As ...read more

Reading The Times Series

Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Dec 1, 2008

Christians wait and watch for Jesus’ return. We know the season, but we don’t know the time, and we live in the paradox.

Mark 13:24-37 “Reading the Times” INTRODUCTION There is probably not a day that goes by that we don’t wait. We might wait for a train at Bell and Grand, or wait in a line at the grocery store, or twiddle our time away waiting to see a doctor. Waiting is a part of lives, even though none of ...read more
