The Times PL
During Holy Week, Jesus announced that the temple would be destroyed, and that started a discussion about calamities in history and the Last Day. All that Jesus said would happen is already part of history: wars, earthquakes, famines, floods, and astronomical events. The signs of the times tell us the Last Day is near. For some people, it will be a time of judgement, but for followers of our Lord, His return will be a sign that our "redemption is drawing near." Malachi says in joy they "shall go out leaping like calves from the stall." And the psalm calls on all creation to rejoice. Even the rivers should "clap their hands!" Before that Last Day, Paul urges, we ought to rely on the Lord's faithfulness, get to work, and try not to be a burden to anyone. Today is already a day to "sing to the Lord a new song, for He has done marvelous things" (Psalm 98:1).

    Passion “Change & Challenge”
    Why should Christians have a passion for God's Word and Worshiping Him?  The Word of God changes us! The Word of God challenges us!

    By Faith
    "By Faith...". With these words the writer to the Hebrews describes the manner of life of the saints of old. The writer records that "by faith God's people did things. They did not just believe stuff! They acted! Today's message is a look at how Nehemiah stepped out in faith and we are called to do the same.

    Distractions
    "Distractions". Our only hope is Jesus! He is the eternal Word of God who in love entered our world to bring life and salvation to all people. We gather to hear Jesus speak.

    A little while
    "A little while" says Jesus, and He will not be seen and then seen again - because He is going to the Father. Jesus is nothing but blunt with His disciples, telling them what will happen. But they do not want to hear it. They did not want to hear His words of suffering and death to come on the cross, and they missed His promise to rise again. Jesus knew their aching hearts were full and promised the Spirit to lead them into all truth. A little while and death will give way to life - for Jesus and also for His disciples. Because He goes to the Father, preparing the way, we also look forward to going to the Father. This hope sustains the weary through their trials in this mortal life. We belong forever to the Lord.

    As We Gather
    Easter changes everything. Without the resurrection of Jesus, we have no hope; we have no true peace; we have no forgiven life now nor the eternal life assured. Easter changes everything!

    Giving Love (2/24/19)
    "Be still and know that I am God". Throughout all the chaos in our world and within ourselves, God never changes. He knows of all our flaws, yet His promise of everlasting life through Jesus still stands.

    Glory Everlasting
    We are reminded that in the midst of trouble, stress, and the mess of this world we are able to take joy and comfort from knowing that whatever may befall us-it's just temporary. Christ shall return and all things will be made right, perfect and holy!  Even in the difficult times, we receive blessings from our God which are beyond measure!
