    The birth of Christ and the Second coming are all about Hope

    Every year about this time television stations reach way back in their vaults and grab an old black and white film that I think still speaks to people's lives even today.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,700 views

    The Bible tells of a man kept in suspense all his life -- waiting for the moment Jesus would come. Since we're waiting like he did, there's a lot of lessons we can learn from him; why God chose him, how he waited daily, and what happened when he saw Jesus

    RAPTURE SUSPENSE Lk. 2:25-33 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: SUSPENSE JOKE 1. A man came to the border of a country on his bike. He had three large sacks in the basket. The border guard asked him, "What's in the sacks?" "Sand." The guard searched through the sand and couldn't find anything. 2. A week ...read more

    Theme: God is a loving and forgiving Father Text: Josh. 5:9-12; 2 Cor. 5:16-21; Lk. 15:11-32 We have no problem believing that God is love, yet at the same time we doubt God’s love. Today’s story from the gospel is all about the Fathers love. When the father saw his rebellious son ...read more

    One of the pressing questions of our day, or any day, is how do we make lasting social change which reflects the values of God’s Kingdom. The short answer for many is the ballot box.

     | 6,257 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!
