    "What time is it for God’s people at this point in history?" That is the question the church must answer.

    WHAT TIME IS IT? Romans 13:11-14 INTRO: Many inventions have been contrived to provide the answer to this question. The sundial provided an answer only during the day. The hourglass could measure the hour—day or night—but not the minute. Finally, the clock provided the best answer, day or ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 10,796 views

    End-times living won’t be easy. Jesus doesn’t promise that it will be. How can it? This universe is plummeting down to its death, and such death throes are never pleasant.

    Intro The end of the church year draws near. With the end of the church year comes preaching of the end: the end of this creation, the coming of Jesus Christ, and the new creation on the Last Day. When Jesus comes on the Last Day, the world as we know it ends. That probably doesn’t cross ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,162 views

    Why are we rarely as thankful as we should be? Perhaps it is because we are so wrapped up with God’s blessings that we forget their source; we are not willing to take the time or expend the patience it takes to say, "Thank You, Lord."

    Greedy for Good Times (Deuteronomy 8:10-11, 17-18, Luke 17:11-19) 1. Many of us have families spread throughout the nation. It is hard to get together, even for the holidays. 2.

    When I was a kid, my TV hero was Superman. I, and every other kid on the block, zoomed through the neighborhood with a cape (towel) around our shoulders as we fought the bad guys. Superman was so cool!

    In the Nick-of-Time! Text: 1 Corinthians 10:13 Timing is God's, not ours. We tend to be impatient because of our view of the tough circumstances with which we are dealing.

    As Jesus’s disciples went with him into Jerusalem, they were afraid. Even so, they show us how to live in uncertain and fearful times: Obey Christ as your Sovereign; Follow Christ as your Servant; & Trust Christ as your Savior.

    Just this last week, I came across an article from The Futurist magazine, which listed some of the worst predictions of all time. They are very interesting. For example: A Roman engineer, Julius Sextus Frontinus, in A.D. 100 said, “Inventions have long since reached their limit, and I see no ...read more
