Instead of focusing on all the attention to the Mayan Calendar and 2012; we need to hear what the Word of God says about the end of time.

Contributed by Steven Chapman on May 7, 2007

This morning we are going to look at 17 verses that end the book of Luke, and from those verses, we will glean the difference that the Resurrection made in the lives of the disciples then, and can make in the lives of disciples now.

The Uptake On The Resurrection Luke 24:36-53 It’s Resurrection Sunday, and as is typical, we, as Christians, enter into worship with an upbeat spirit. Why is that?

Vital Signs

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 17, 2023

Apocalyptic signs are signs of evil, not of the end of the world; they point us to a person, not to a particular time.

You wouldn’t believe how many internet sites are devoted to Biblical prophecy about the end times. Or maybe you would. Some of them focus on natural disasters, some identify various world leaders as the Antichrist, others see events in Israel and the Middle East as key. One site highlights UFO’s, ...read more

Waiting! Expectantly!

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 30, 2022

One day Jesus is coming back, and the signs of His return will be clear and unmistakable. It will be obvious. Even though we don't know for sure when it will be, Jesus’ return will be a powerful, can't-miss-it event.

Herod Killed By An Angel Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 18, 2017

Many heathen kings claimed and received Divine honors, but it was far more horribly impious when Herod accepted such idolatrous honors without rebuking the blasphemy, for he knew the word and worship of the living and true God. And such men as Herod....

The Blind Man With 20/20 Vision

A little girl told to her parents what she had learned in Children’s Church about the creation of Man & Woman. 2. “The teacher told us how God made the man first.
