This is the third article on the signs of the end, and you are encouraged to read the first two as they form the background of this one. (They are readily available on the church’s website). Many are convinced that all that is happening right now points to the end, and Jesus will come very soon to bring the final judgment on…

Do you know anyone who always talks about the same things in every conversation?  It gives you clear insight into what is most important to that person.  What would you say that Jesus talked about continually and was most important to Him?  It is not hard to figure out. After Jesus was baptized, the Bible indicates that He went out working miracles…

It is within the realm of possibilities for Christians to get discouraged. Godly people throughout the Bible have struggled with living in a corrupt world. As we seek to live in accordance with a standard that elevates our living and raises our spiritual focus heavenward, there will be conflict. In that conflict, the fervor of our resolve is tested.

Jesus said it would happen in the generation then living and it did. The destruction of the temple, when not one stone was left upon another, brought a visible end to Judaism.…

So many think that the signs of “the end of the world” given by Jesus the week before He died show that it won’t be very long until Jesus shall appear. It is true that Jesus gave signs when the “end of the world” would come, but what “world” did He have in mind? When the disciples asked for these signs given…

Jesus set us free from the shadows.   “For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His Son” (Col. 1:13).  We have escaped into the kingdom, but a “domain of darkness” waits for those who want to go back.
