    We Will Stand Before God’s Judgment Throne 1) Are you ready for what you’ll see? 2) Are you ready for what He’ll see?

    The Internet is a handy tool, don’t you think? For example now, before you go on a trip, you can see whether or not that lodge described as “rustic” is a comfy place with oversized chairs and fireplace, or whether it’s nothing more than a bunkhouse that lacks indoor plumbing. You would want to know ...read more

    The imminence of Christ's return has been taken to a point where certain Scriptures are now just ignored. Better to see imminence as a personal thing, which it truly is!

    6. WHAT MUST COME BEFORE CHRIST? From this point on, I am assuming that Paul spoke the truth when he gave the fact of II Thessalonians 2. And that Peter also spoke the truth when he told his people to look for Jesus, though many things were coming first. Assuming there is no secret rapture, since ...read more

    THis sermon is about the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25:1-13. It is about not knowing the day or the hour of Christ's return and being prepared for that day. it is a reminder of Correctness, Committment and Companions.

    This parable of Christ seems to be pretty simple. Even though there doesn’t seem to be much hidden meaning here, somehow, most of humanity seems to ignore it completely. What I mean is, the lesson may be simple, but the action we are called to, seems to be hard for many people. Is it ...read more
