    A sermon that encourages those who are just playing Christian to be ready for Christ’s return

    Tell Me a Story The Ten Virgins Matthew 25:1-13 Slide Can you believe the price of gas? It is becoming more and more costly to go to the gas station. So much so that I continue to delay buying gas, even when I am running low, and then I sometimes will by only part of a tank because it is just too ...read more

    We get excited about so many things; how about the return of Christ?

    Last week we noted that Jesus will be coming back to earth soon. There are many signs telling us that Jesus can show up on earth at anytime now! We also noted that Jesus’ return to earth is a double edged sword: God Jesus Christ will return to earth soon to judge the world of its sin but also to ...read more

    Sermon encourages us to live with the expectation of the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

    “Living With Expectancy” 1 Peter 4:7-11 I recall growing up, when my parents would leave the house for a while and they would leave certain responsibilities for me and my siblings, to be done by the time they returned. How cognizant I was to make certain that everything they asked me ...read more

    The one leper who returned to give thanks encourages me to be thankful in 6 ways.

    One Gave Thanks November 22, 2009 I heard about an episode of the Simpsons, where the family was sitting down for supper and Homer asked Bart to give thanks before the meal. Bart bowed his head and said, “Dear God, we paid for all this stuff ourselves… so thanks for nothing.” Now to some people ...read more

    After the paralyzed man was healed and the crowd returned home what happened to the hole in the roof?

    He stood there staring up at the sky, he still couldn’t believe his eyes, and it was as if he was seeing the sky for the first time. In a way he was, even if it was the same old sky that he’d always looked at it, he was seeing it through a whole new perspective. Actually he was seeing ...read more

    The downward movement of God becoming man is mirrored by the upward movement of Christ returning to the Father

    Tuesday of 6th week in Easter Acts/John Earthquake! What a terrifying sound that must have been to a first-century Greek. We in South Texas, sitting on this tapioca-karst bed of limestone as we do, far from any real tectonic plate junctions, have no idea what fear the word “earthquake” provokes. ...read more

    We Christians are a privileged people, given awesome responsibilities to fulfil until the Master returns.

    “You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you ...read more

    The Great Reunion Series

     | 29,075 views

    The object lesson of the two sticks pictures the great reunion that will take place at the return of Jesus.

    I’ve never been a big fan of reunions. Somehow the idea of getting together with a bunch of people you haven’t seen or even talked to in years so that you can all try to impress each other just isn’t something that I look forward to. And as I get older, the thought of taking part ...read more

    Having faith isn’t about expecting something back in return, not in this life anyway

    Faith I don’t have cable TV or a satellite dish. Several years ago I came to the conclusion that it was pointless to pay fifty dollars a month for two-hundred channels and still find nothing worthwhile to watch on TV. I cancelled the satellite subscription. We live out in the sticks so our “air” TV ...read more

    Someone suggested that we return to radical Christianity. I’m for it but are we up to the demands?

    There is a group on one of the social networks that was issuing a call to return to radical Christianity. I love the concept and joined the group but I wanted to feel out how they defined radical and if they were really up to radical Christianity thus I posted this in the group’s discussion ...read more

    WE need to keep our focus in the right places as we await the return of the Lord!

    INTRODUCTION • SLIDE #1 • As we live our lives, it is easy to lose focus on what is important.

    THE LIVING WATER John 7:1, After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him. 2 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand. 3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see ...read more
