     | 39,325 views

    Only someone who is completely out of touch with reality would dispute the fact that we are living in the last days. The question is... What is the church going to look like in the last days? What can we expect to see through the church?

    The Holy Spirit witnesses to us concerning the last days, and he tells us what to expect. He tells us the attitude and the spirit that will prevail in the hearts of the wicked. (2 Timothy 3:1-5 ) KJV “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. [2] For men shall be ...read more

    Murder, strife, envy and pride. All of these character flaws are all apart of today’s sermon. Righteous living as a church begins with righteous lives of our members.

    James 4:1-12 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? 2) You want something but don’t get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. 3) When you ask, you ...read more

    It is not enough to have great potential or show great promise. It is what you do with that potential that makes all the difference. A good beginning does not guarantee a good end. End your life well, to the glory of God.

    Whatever we start, do it well and end it well. Put your heart in it and do a good job. It is more important how we end than how well we start. • This is so true of Saul’s life. He started well, but did not end well. • We are going to read about his death today (1 Sam 31), and ...read more

    Here, we find some of Christ's last words before He ascended into heaven. Jesus asked Peter numerous times if he loved Him. In doing so, He sought to instill within Peter four keys that would help him serve the Lord more effectively.

    In John chapter 21, we find some of Jesus’ last words before He ascended to be with His Father in heaven. Jesus was preparing to confer His ministry to Peter; and according to Warren Wiersbe, we see in this passage a threefold commission that was given to him.(1) Jesus wanted to instill within ...read more

    We were created by God, deformed by sin, reborn in Christ Jesus and reclaimed for his Glory. We were made for the Lord’s use and glory. Our spirits have been revived, our minds are being renewed, and our bodies were designed to serve the Lord in this life and in the life to come.
