When will the end come?  When will Christ return?  Jesus tells us that no one knows the day or the hour.  But we can know that the season is approaching.  Yet, until it all unfolds, we must watch and wait.  http://archive.org/details/WatchingAndWaiting_438

The end times is a subject that fascinates just about everyone.  We want to know exactly what's going to happen, and we want an idea of when it will take place.  However, when asked about it in Mark 13, Jesus focus was a bit different.  He told his followers how they were to live in the end times.  To hear this message, go to this link  http://archive.org/details/LivingInTheEndTimes

In 1 Timothy 2, we're called to pray for all people.  In particular, we're called to pray for those in authority over us.  Yet, for whatever reason, this is an area where many of us tend to fall short.  http://archive.org/details/PrayingForOurAuthorities

We're often discouraged in evangelism because of the response of the world to the gospel, and because of our own failures.  It feels like we'll never accomplish the mission entrusted to us by Jesus, to make disciples of all nations.  However, in Revelation 7, we see that it will be accomplished; we see that God's plan will be fulfilled.  He will use imperfect vessels like us to gather people from all nations before the throne.  This message can be heard at http://archive.org/details/TheFulfillment

In the church today, the teaching is often controlled by the people.  Our goal is to keep people comfortable and happy.  We don't want to offend people by what is said.  So we fail to proclaim the whole of God's Word.  However, like Jeremiah, the faithful proclamation of God's Word must be our first concern.  http://archive.org/details/OurFirstConcern

We know that we can't take it with us.  Yet, even with this knowledge, we continue to live only for wealth.  In Ecclesiastes 5, Solomon points out that this is meaningless and shares with us about a greater blessing.  http://archive.org/details/ClingingToTheMeaningless

In Mark 10, we hear about a man who came to Jesus, asking how he might receive eternal life.  This seems encouraging.  He's seeking salvation from Jesus.  However, when Jesus tells him to sell all he had and to give to the poor, the man turned away.  Because he loved his wealth, it was too great a sacrifice.  In the same way, many of us have sins that we're unwilling to give up for the kingdom of God.  We value our sin more than the Lord.  This message can be heard at http://archive.org/details/TooGreatASacrifice

After God miraculously provided for the needs of his people in the wilderness, they became discontent.  Instead of being thankful for his blessings, the people grumbled against them.  Are we content with the blessings God's given us?  This message can be heard at http://archive.org/details/ContentWithGodsBlessing

What is your background?  Where have you come from?  Many of us are interested in genealogy; we're interested to learn about our roots.  One thing we discover as we look at our roots is that we're a sinful people.  We learn that we were once separated from God; we were once outside of his kingdom.  But we've been brought near because of Jesus.  It's only through him that we are saved.  This message can be heard or downloaded at http://archive.org/details/RememberYourRoots
