The Beginning of the End (part 2)
Pastor Hamilton
Jesus told his disciples not to have prepared statements, but to trust the Lord to give a solid answer (v. 15). Answering the question, “When will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age” (Matt 24:3), the Teacher gave an eschatology lesson. Jesus was clear that […]
The Beginning of the End (part 1)
Pastor Hamilton
These verses form a long answer to a short question (v. 7). In his eschatological address, Jesus moved his listeners from what they saw to what they would be seeing to the One who would be seen. Bible prophecy should thrill us when we realize that it all points to the Messiah ruling in all his […]
Witness and Warning

Brian Bollon
We’re tempted to rejoice in numbers or professions, rather than patterns of true repentance and faith (conversion). Instead, we should rejoice in real conversions—nothing less—because they display God’s salvation at work.
A Missionary Heart
Pastor Hamilton
What does a missionary’s heart look like? The apostle Paul lays bare his own heart to the Ephesian elders in Acts 20.
Temple Turn-Out (part 2)
Pastor Hamilton
The religious leaders claimed to have authority, but their message was not in line with that of John or Jesus. So then, was theirs legitimate (from God) or not? Instead of endangering or incriminating themselves, they chose the cowards way out. They were out to hang Jesus, not to put the noose around their own neck.
