    The Signs Of The End Times

     | 9,912 views

    When we see natural disasters and conflicts, we can be sure that Christ’s return is near. We must be ready, because he could return at any time. The promise of his return offers us hope.

    At first glance the reading we just heard from Luke 21:25-36 seems to be out of place during Advent. After all, most of us think of Advent as a time to prepare for Christmas. That is only partially true. Advent is also a time to remember and prepare for Christ’s Second Coming, and that ...read more

    What Do We Learn From The Trinity?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jun 3, 2012
     | 7,444 views

    This is my latest attempt at an all-age talk to explain something of the nature of the Trinity and what it means for us as believers. Please note, I make the point that we can't fully understand the Trinity. It is a paradox.

    [Note to the reader: this is NOT an expositional sermon. It is a talk about the doctrine of the Trinity. So please don't be disappointed that I don't explain this passage verse by verse :-)] Today is traditionally known as Trinity Sunday; and it has been said that Curates and newly appointed ...read more

    Joy Is Restored Series

    Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Dec 17, 2017
     | 11,988 views

    Sorrow is but for a time. The power of prayer, memories of God’s past healing and His loving-kindness sustain Israel. God heals the pain of the present in the same manner as He has healed the pain of the past.

    Joy is the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying: it is keen pleasure, or elation. Joy is more elusive, subtle, and nuanced than happiness. We can manipulate circumstances to our own advantage to obtain what we think will bring happiness, or ...read more
