    This world is not all that there is, and we have to face the fact of what will become of us when we take our last breath. Are you ready?

    We need to take a long overdue trip to Reality City and deal with the issue of life here on Earth and what lies beyond it. This life is not all there is in terms of existence, accountability, being, and influence. None of us have a warranty or guarantee that we will live into old age. The fear ...read more

    The Scriptures tell us, "Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring." (Proverbs 27:1). Too many people in these last days forget that they may not have tomorrow. The time to be prepared to meet God is now.

    All of us at one time have put things off until the last minute, such as the writing of a research paper for school or studying for exams. We put off important decisions at our place of work, or filing tax returns, buying your family Christmas presents on or near Christmas Eve, or asking that ...read more

    Ready & Faithful Youth Sermon

     | 464 views

    In this passage, we receive the encouragement from Christ to be faithful and to remain ready. We can remain faithful because He is a good shepherd who looks over His flock. We stay ready because we don’t know the day or the hour when Christ will return, but we trust that He is coming soon.

    Today, we're going to talk about being ready and faithful. Life can be pretty unpredictable, right? Sometimes we're prepared for what's coming, and other times, we're caught off guard. But when it comes to our faith, Jesus wants us to be ready and faithful all the time. So, let's dive into our main ...read more

    The most important aspect of being ready is having a saving relationship with Jesus Christ and being vigilant, alert, and awake in our faith.

    Jesus tells us to keep watch because we don't know when He's coming back. It's like when you're waiting for a friend to come over, and you keep checking your phone or looking out the window. We need to be ready and alert for Jesus' return. Now, I want to show you something cool. I have this alarm ...read more
