    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,634 views

    Jesus' coming is delayed to give the greater number of people the greater opportunity to repent.

    TIME FOR TRUE REPENTANCE. 2 Peter 3. After the description of the false teachers who deny the second coming of Jesus - which is concluded with the horrible picture of 2 Peter 2:22 - Peter turns to his protégés and effectively says, “I am assured of better things concerning you” (cf. ...read more

    Three negatives negated, and three positives endorsed. Redeeming the time. The Holy Spirit and the word of Christ. An exhortation to praise and thanksgiving.

    A WISE USE OF TIME. Ephesians 5:15-20. Despite popular opinion, the Christian “life” or Christian “walk” is not a style of living or a level of morality that we must first attain before we can ever be recognised as true Christians. On the contrary, the Christian “walk” or the Christian “life” ...read more

    Just as the disciples felt they were winning the game, the second half came and they lost badly. Or so they thought.

    Half-time speeches are meant to motivate. My son Shane forever complains that the Panthers should make “adjustments” at half-time. So half-time is when things happen to win games. Today we are looking at Jesus half-time speech. Jesus and his “Fantastic Twelve” have been on ...read more

    3 Moments In Time

     | 6,187 views

    The word "moment" is used 3X in the N.T., KJV. 3 Greek words are used and applied to 3 areas: temptation, trials, and the Rapture. It's amazing how God can intervene during each "moment" and how He turns them around for our good!

    When Jesus returns the world will be purified so that he can set up his kingdom here on earth. He will begin the purification process by judging the people.

    The passage we heard from Nehemiah a few minutes ago occurs after the completion of the wall around Jerusalem. The foundations were laid both physically and spiritually. The people celebrated because they had experienced a great revival, much like the revivals and crusades led by people such as ...read more
