    This message was preached during a memorial service surrounding the events of September 11, 2001.

    Introduction: Recently I looked up September 11 in reference book that highlighted important dates. The book, written in 1970, had many events and notes of interest for almost every day in the calendar. I was surprised to find that September 11 had no special significance recorded in that ...read more

    Ready or Not....He is coming and we should be ready for His appearing. Here is how.

    There are many weird things you can hear about the return of Christ and the end of time. This morning I would like to share my beliefs up front, and then cut right to the chase of exposition of what Jesus said about His second coming, the "Parousia". Your pastor is a ...read more

    When we are standing before the throne on Judgment Day, perhaps one of the scariest words we will ever hear is, "NEXT!"

    Every Sunday evening, after I get home from church, I start trying to think about what to preach about the next Sunday. I go through many possibilities, and then it happens – every week the same thing. Come Monday afternoon I have one thought in my mind that just won’t go away, and after ...read more

    The One whose coming I’m looking forward to this morning won’t be coming from the North Pole & riding in a sleigh. Instead, He’s coming from Heaven, & arriving on the clouds of the sky! (PowerPoint available - #183)

    While we sing and talk of one coming on a sleigh, we must remember that Jesus will also be Coming to Town but rather than on a sleigh pulled by reindeer, he will be in the clouds and rather than by reindeer, he will come with power and glory!

    INTRO Isn’t it amazing what Christmas has become? How the sweet calm picture of the birth of one named Jesus has become so much about rush, money, and envy.

    The Creed says "from there he shall come to judge the living and the dead". Jesus’ coming and judgment go hand in hand. How should we be living our lives in the light of this?

    The Apostle’s Creed Together: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the ...read more

    This sermon illustrates the unexpected nature of Christ’s return, along with the urgency of making proper preparations for it. The style is that of story-telling.

    (Note: In this sermon, your goal is to describe this community in a believable, relateable way. You can change the names around to make sure you don’t step make anyone think you’re referring to them. I tried to take several of the attitudes Jesus taught against, then create characters based on ...read more

    With summer winding down and school about to start everybody has been cramming in those last minute vacations… I can remember one summer in particular our family made plans to go to Disneyworld!

    That Jesus will return is a constant theme of the New Testament and a basic Christian teaching. His return could be near. Are we ready?

    I’ve read recently about an inscription on the Dome of the Capitol building in Washington. It’s placed where few can see it. It’s a line from the poet Tennyson: One far-off divine event to which all history moves. That ’one far-off divine event’ is the one we pray for every time we say ’Thy ...read more
