Thoughts for Today

Jesus is Returning One Day: You Can Take it to the Bank! 2 Peter 3:1-10 : This is my second letter to you, dear friends, and in both of them I have tried to stimulate your wholesome thinking and refresh your memory. 2 I want you to remember what the holy prophets said long ago and what our Lord and Savior commanded through your apostles. 3 Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires. 4 They will say, “What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the world was first created.” 5 They deliberately forget that God made the heavens by the word of his command, and he brought the earth out from the water and surrounded it with water. 6 Then he used the water to destroy the ancient world with a mighty flood. 7 And by the same word, the present heavens and earth have been stored up for fire. They are bei

"These Last Days"-Be Ready! Sunday was an amazing day at United! As your Pastor, I am blessed to be able to fellowship with you and to meet your friends, family and neighbors! As a matter of fact, many Pastor's in America very rarely see new faces such as we do. Let's keep inviting and encouraging others to join us on Sunday mornings. Several made new commitments to Christ yesterday!  Here us a summary of what we discussed on Sunday: Matthew 24:36 “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows. 37 “When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. 38 In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat. 39 People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes. 40 “Two men

The Last Days=Many Earthquakes in Diverse Places Good Monday morning everyone! I know that we were truly blessed yesterday by the Southern Wesleyan Singers and by the fellowship of others that love the Lord.  We always look forward to this gifted group of musicians to come to United and yesterday they were at their best. We continue our sermon series on "The Last Days" and what Jesus said about how Earthquakes will play a big part of the end times.  Jesus predicted many earthquakes for the last days as a sign of His second coming (Matthew 24:7; Mark 13:8; Luke 21:11).  Several are mentioned in Biblical history (Amos 1:1; Zech. 14:5; Matthew 8:24; Matthew 27:51; Matthew 28:2; Acts 16:25).  The greatest earthquake of all will take place at the end of the Millennium (Haggai 2:6-7,21-22; Hebrews 12:25-29; 2 Peter 3:10-13; Rev. 20:11).  This will result in the renovation of the heavens and earth, making the third perfect earth, and the end of the earth's second si

The Last Days 2 Timothy 3:1-6  You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. 2 For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. 3 They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. 4 They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. 5 They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that! “Evil prevails when good people do nothing” Wow! What a quote and what a truth. Most of us that are reading this today know the truth. However, the big question is what are we doing with the truth? Are we just keeping it to ourselves and sailing on to heaven alone and letting others fall off the moral c
