    The Night Before In That Upper Room

     | 8,373 views

    The disciples were looking for a position of honor or a place of privilege at the table. They were rushing to get a good seat. It seems that Jesus waited until all were seated and while it was fresh in their minds and then John 13:4

    It was the night before when in the upper room Jesus and the disciples meet for the last supper. As they came into that room each one passed by a basin and a pitcher full of water. Every one of those disciples knew what that pitcher of water and basin was there for. It was the job of the servant ...read more

    Occupy Till I Come

    When you look at the modern church, you see it is busy as a whole, but are they accomplishing what God has given to them? Is the church occupying, or is it just setting on its laurels of past glories and waiting for the Lord to return? ...

    Luke 19:13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. Other translations say; Do business - till I come. In other words engage in trade with what you have been given. Take what you have and put it to work. Stay busy with what I have ...read more

    Pray Without Ceasing

     | 8,015 views

    Luke included the Parable of the Unjust Judge to encourage the people. The parable is about waiting and not losing hope, heart or faith. If we pray earnestly, faithfully and regularly, Jesus will find faith when he does return.

    Have you ever wanted something so much that you kept asking for it time and time again until you finally got what you wanted? If so, you can understand how the widow in the Parable of the Unjust Judge felt. She kept going to the judge until he finally decided to hear her case. In Jesus’ ...read more

    The one point that I wish to spotlight is the fact that Caleb was a visionary with a long term vision in mind. For forty five long years Caleb waited for the promise to be fulfilled because his faith on God and His word.

    We will turn our attention to Numbers 14:24, “But my servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and has followed me fully, I will bring into the land into which he went, and his descendants shall possess it.” (ESV) The focus of this message is based on the above mentioned verse.

    The Thessalonian church was a shining example of believers in ministry and gospel outreach. They had all the fruits of the Holy Spirit as we see in the verses of Chapter 1. They radiated faith, hope, love, and steadfastness. They waited patiently for the Rapture.

    IN CHRIST AND ALL OF CHRIST - 1Thessalonians 1:1-10 We are going to embark on a series of messages in this magnificent book of 1Thessalonians.

    Today is a day to praise God for their faith and the peace they are now experiencing. We can be assured that the Lord who walks with us each and every day of our lives is the same Lord who will be waiting for us in heaven.

    Have you ever wondered what it will be like in heaven? Revelation 7:9-17 is a priceless picture of the blessed dead. It has comforted many people in the face of suffering and death. Some ministers believe that the multitude in this reading consists of those who have been saved during the Great ...read more

    Life can be hard and unfair. We cry out for justice and wait for it. We may never experience justice in this world, but God promises us that He is a just God and that justice will prevail in the next world.

    A. Have you noticed in life that justice can be hard to come by? 1. One day a defendant stood before the judge and the judge announced, “Tell me, sir, do you have anything to offer this court before it passes sentence?” a.

    Be careful! Be on guard against false teachings and teachers. These are warnings Jesus makes as we wait for Him to come again. Luther fought against the false teachings of his time, and we must within ours as well.

    10.27.24 Mark 13:5–11 (EHV) 5 Jesus began by telling them, “Be careful that no one deceives you. 6 Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many. . . .

    When God Confuses Us

     | 104 views

    When God’s plans confuse us, as they did John the Baptist, Jesus reminds us that His kingdom begins with mercy before judgment—and blessed is the one who trusts Him even in the waiting.

    Good MORNING. Advent, Christmas and the New Year invite us to look at expectations, not only expectations for our own lives, but also the expectations we can make about God. Our Gospel lesson from Matthew shows us how even the best of us, someone like John the Baptist, can make assumptions about ...read more
