A terrible time full of plagues is prophesied for this world. It is called the Day of the Lord in the Bible—a period of time that reveals God’s wrath towards humanity. But why are both the Father and the Son, Jesus Christ, so angry that they will pour out terrible plagues on the people of the end times? And how can that be when God is personified love? What is the ultimate purpose of the plagues of God on the Day of the Lord?
Sermons
Comfortable With the Uncomfortable
God’s laws are considered “uncomfortable” for everyone who doesn’t want to obey Him. But if we obey God and keep ALL His commandments and know what God promises to all those who believe and are diligent, then this is how we can be “comfortable.”
Seek
This sermon looks at biblical examples of the practical use of the word SEEK. Some examples show immediate positive outcomes, some long-term positive outcomes, while others do not reflect such immediate or long-term positive outcomes.
The Cruel God of the Old Testament?
Many believe that God the Father is cruel and harsh, but Jesus Christ is the merciful and the loving Son of God who must intrigue the Father on our behalf so that He is less angry with us. This belief is based on the idea that the Father was the angry God of the Old Testament who did terrible things to the people, while Christ, the innocent Lamb, is our loving Mediator to beg the Father to show love to us. Why are these ideas totally wrong? And what DOES the Bible say about God’s love and punishment?
Compassion
Compassion is a product of Christian love. It begins with empathy for others’ circumstances in life. When combined with care, concern, and a willingness to help, compassion bears the fruit of love. What can we learn about compassion from the example of Jesus Christ and instruction in the Bible?
Will an Aborted Child Live Again?
Few understand what the Bible so clearly reveals—all people will die, and all people will live again! Even the unborn will be brought back to life to appear before God!
We Are God’s Workers
Being a Christian involves work. What kind of work are we obligated to do as fruitful laborers in eyes of God? What does it mean to be productive in our work?
Never Let Go
As a child learning to take those first few steps, or as a parent helping our kids do that, we appreciate the clutch of those tiny fingers on ours as the young ones take their halting first steps. There is a certainty and security that we know the child relies on. They have faith that their parent will be there to protect them. It is visceral and without question. We know that a true Christian should have that same absolute confidence in his or her relationship with the Father. If we rely on Him, He is there to protect us, guide us, and lead us in growing in our faith. In this Sermonette, we will cover several Scriptures and examples that illustrate this bond that we who are called have with our Creator.
Biden’s Decline and Trump’s Provocations—Comments on News and Prophecy, July 6, 2024
Many say that Biden must go, due to his perceived mental decline, but he does not want to quit his 2024 bid, unless “the Lord Almighty” comes out to tell him. But realistically, who could replace Biden so late in the game? There seem to be no good choices for the Democrats. On the other hand, Europe’s fear of “Trump’s second coming” is growing. And Trump does not help to alleviate those fears—his posts and comments seem to just accomplish the opposite. Some, like Ivanka Trump and Michelle Obama, say that they want to distance themselves from politics. What do they see that others don’t?
Before You And Behind You
It can be hard as a Christian to always keep in mind that we are God’s children; especially, when we face various trials and tests. When we stop to contemplate just what God does for us, we can see that He truly is there for us in all aspects of our lives, no matter what we will face. How much confidence do we put in God being there for us?
