    Before It’s Too Late

     | 6,374 views

    As a spiritual people it is important for us to realize the spiritual signs of the times that we are living in. By the time that Jesus arrived the Jews fell into a kind of spiritual numbness that led to complacency. For them it was just another day.

    Before it’s too Late Luke 12:54-59 54 He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does. And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the ...read more

    We delve here into the concept of watching for Christ, watching for prophecy fulfillment, watching for our own taking away to heaven.

    4. THE "WATCH" PASSAGES Matthew 24 is key to our understanding of who comes when. Remember the questions of the disciples? "When will you come?" "When will the world end?" Jesus goes into a long description, not of signs of the end, but signs that are not the end, so they will not be confused. ...read more

    Watching for the Lord's return doesn't mean looking up to the sky; it means looking around to show God's love to those who need Him.

    INTRODUCTION This is the third and final message in the miniseries from Mark 13 entitled “Jesus’ Extended Forecast.” Jesus wasn’t predicting the weather; He was predicting the future. In this chapter, He gives us some important details about His second coming. The early church lived in ...read more

    Jesus declared that it was impossible for anyone to know the exact day and hour of His return. While we cannot predict the precise moment the Lord will return, He did provide some definite signs that reveal His return is very near, even at the door!

    Watching and Waiting Mark 13: 28-37 Today we come to the conclusion of Mark’s account of the Olivet Discourse. Jesus had given much detail to the disciples regarding the end times and the Great Tribulation. He concluded this conversation with a challenge for them to be aware of the time, while ...read more
