Jesus is coming again, not because we say so or even because we believe it. He is coming again because He promised it! Today we examine Jesus's promise that he is returning by answering the six questions: Who, what, when, where, why, and how.
Jesus's promise to be with us is not only for those times when we are lonely, threatened, or frightened. He is with us when we are sharing Him with others and making disciples.

The women who went to the tomb on that morning were expecting to anoint the body of their crucified friend and teacher. But that is not what happened.
On that first Palm Sunday, the people responded to Jesus with shouts of praise or with disdain. The welcomed Him or they rejected Him. In that sense, nothing has changed. The question every person must ask is, "What will I do about Jesus?"
John Donne wrote, "No man is an island." Indeed, it is virtually impossible, in today's world, to live without influencing and impacting others. The book of Ruth is an excellent example of how our actions today can be used by God to carry out His plan in future generations.
This morning Bobby and Sharon Watkins share from their mission trips to Ukraine and include the stories of some of those who have fled as well as those who have remained.
The key to forgiveness is the foundation from which it springs. When we receive God's forgiveness, we are then able to ask others for forgiveness as well as able to forgive others.
Is being tempted the same thing as sinning? Is it an excuse to sin? In what ways do temptations come upon us? What can we do when we are tempted?
Current world events have caused people to worry and be afraid. One unspoken fear is, "How long before something like that happens to us?" Fear is a destructive force but God is greater! We can trust Him will all our hearts.
1 Timothy 2:1-4 instructs us to pray for everyone, including those in authority. But, why? Really, does it do any good? The answer has less to do with our nation than it does our relationship with God.
This Valentine's Day weekend, we focus on God's love for us and the love we strive to have for God and one another.
God appoints and equips leaders but He uses everyone to accomplish His purposes.
Today's video is limited to Pastor Jim preaching the sermon from home after it was discovered that the recording of the worship service had somehow become voided.
Sometimes it is hard to understand what the Bible means. It can leave us feeling like we are on the outside, looking in. A frequent cause is the many Hebrew idioms that appear in the Bible, some of them translated into the Greek New Testament before we read them in our English translations.
Can a person live by God's values and, at the same time, embrace the world's values? Today, we examine what God's word says regarding this questions by turning to James 4:4.
Let's face it, when you are in the middle of a spiritual high, it is pretty easy to keep going. But what happens when that high is over and you return to the same world—the same environment—you had before the high? By taking a look at how the shepherds responded, once the angel and the heavenly.
What do you think of when you read or hear the word, "Peace"? One thing is certain: Every person wants peace in his/her own life. But the history of mankind has demonstrated that we are incapable of maintaining it. Yet, there is a perfect, permanent, and freely provided peace to anyone.
When the shepherds suddenly found themselves in the presence of an angel, they were filled with fear. In the Bible, many people were filled with fear when in the presence of God or an angel sent by Him. What would cause them to be afraid and how can joy overcome fear?
On this second Sunday of Christmas Advent, we focus on love. Since "the greatest of these is love" (1 Corinthians 13:13), what is the nature of that love, from where does it come, and how should it change our lives and our world?
Can a person be a secret believer? Can a believer follow Jesus and obey Him in secrecy? What would cause anyone to keep it a secret? We look for the answers in God's word.
Fear is an influence in our lives that we may not be able to avoid but we can choose how we will respond to it. Jesus taught his followers what to fear and what not to fear.
Sometimes our heroes disappoint us—they fail to match the image we have of them. What happens when God does not fit our mold?
There are many occasions when we can not do anything about our circumstances. But we can alter the way they influence us. A thankful heart is how God wants us to approach Him and it is also a very effective way to change our mood when our circumstances bring us down.
