    While We Wait

     | 12,236 views

    We are commanded to pray for the Master to send forth harvesters into His harvest fields while we wait for His return. The message is a call for us to fulfil His charge.

    “Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. ...read more

    What Must Happen Before Jesus Comes? Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Nov 24, 2015

     | 6,720 views

    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

    Jesus returns from Bethany to Jerusalem to Curse the Tree, Cleanse the Temple and Convey the Truth. He rallies His enemies in His last week of His earthly ministry!

    Countdown to Calvary The Final Week of Jesus’ Earthly Ministry Mark 11:12-26 (NKJV) 12 Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry. 13 And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it.

    The Little Apocalypse

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 10, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,094 views

    We do not know the day and the hour when Jesus will return, so we also need to keep awake and be watchful. This message is not just for the early disciples, but for us all.

    THE LITTLE APOCALYPSE. Mark 13:1-37. I. Mark 13, and its equivalents in Matthew 24 and Luke 21:5-36, is sometimes entitled “the little apocalypse.” This passage is poised between Jesus’ teaching in the Temple (Mark 12), and the account of the Passion (Mark 14-15). The main thrust of the chapter ...read more

    Heaven Is A Party Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jun 24, 2013
     | 7,003 views

    Heaven is party-central, and the party starts now, but doesn't get into full gear till we get to Heaven, or when Jesus returns--whichever comes first.

    When Biblical writers speak of Heaven, they often use figurative language. I suspect the reason is that they’re trying to express heavenly realities with the limitations of human language. Trying to describe Heaven to us is like trying to describe this world to an unborn child. And so ...read more

    Psalm 126 chronicles the joy of their return from captivity, their prayers for others still in bondage, and God's instruction to plant the seed of the Gospel, even in tears, for a great harvest will come.

    WE WERE LIKE THOSE WHO DREAMED Ps. 126:1-6 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE CATCH 1. Ever since the firm he worked for went bankrupt, Benny has been looking for a job.

    Christians have a blessed hope on which they can govern their lives by, Jesus is returning and He expects them to be about their assigned task when He comes back.

    Hope of Christ's Coming Act 1:9-11 Holds a truth not spoken of much these days, "He [Jesus] was taken up before their very eyes... they were looking intently up into the sky as He [Jesus] was going up, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.

    A little different look at thanksgiving. If we are thankful for God's blessing, what we doing to be a blessing to others, thereby increasing the thanksgiving, glory and praise being returned to God?

    2 Corinthians 9:10–15 (NKJV) Ever wonder how family fights begin on Thanksgiving? (show picture of pie with slice out of the middle). In fact we often think of Thanksgiving as a day of excesses.

    The Second Coming

     | 11,981 views

    As Jesus spoke with the disciples during the Olivet Discourse, He revealed that He would surely come again. Many deny and reject it, but the Lord will return as He said.

    The Second Coming Matthew 24: 23-31 Jesus has revealed much about the events leading up to His return and the difficulties associated with the Tribulation. Our text today focuses on the time when the Tribulation will be coming to an end and the Lord makes His glorious return to earth. His second ...read more

    Jesus rose the victor on the third day, ascended to heaven forty days later, and is waiting to return. He has sent a message to us in the interim. Think of it as an Easter card!
