Brent Smith: Man of Sorrows | Revelation 1:17-18

We will be looking at a couple of verses that has caught our attention regarding Jesus’ resurrection and victory. Looking at the book of Revelation in its relation to the conquering King Jesus we’ve been seeing at His second coming through our study of the Olivet Discourse these past few Sundays. And the book of Revelation certainly details the victory Jesus holds over death.

Brent Smith: Man of Sorrows | Isaiah 53:1-6

Isaiah 53 (and really beginning in Isaiah 52:13) details the suffering of the Messiah. It’s an incredible thing to have a Saviour that has come down to this world on an incredible rescue mission to save us. As we’ve been in Matthew 24 on Sundays recently, we’ve been looking at the second coming of Christ. And when He returns, He comes back in power and great glory. But His first coming took on a very different look. So much so…

Brent Smith: The Parable of the Ten Virgins | Matthew 25:1-13

Matthew 25 is still dealing with the Olivet Discourse. The Olivet Discourse deals with the end times – the sign of Jesus’ coming and of the end of the age, based on the disciple’s question in Matthew 24:3. Jesus took us through the events of the tribulation leading up to His Second Coming. So as we get into Chapter 25 Jesus continues to share some parables that are meant to give some warning to be ready for the end of…

Brent Smith: The Comeback King | Matthew 24:29-51

We’re in Matthew 24 and this chapter has been a clarification for the disciples as to what will be the sign of Jesus’ coming. They figured He would be returning in just a few days – in their lifetime at least. But Jesus’ return will look much different than what they expected. And it will be on an entirely different timeline. So in Matthew 24 Jesus has been essentially sharing what things are going to look like before He returns,…

Brent Smith: The Arrival of Samuel | 1 Samuel 1-2:11

The book of 1 Samuel is quite a transitional book. Remember, the Lord’s desire for Israel is that He would be their God, and they would follow Him in obedience. They were to be a theocracy. But coming out of our study in Judges, we see that they were not doing so well with this. Instead of being a theocracy, they were living in anarchy! The last words of the book are: “In those days there was no king in…

Brent Smith: Sign of the Times | Matthew 24:1-8

At the end of chapter 23 we saw Jesus dismissing the religious leaders and the many Jews who followed them instead of Jesus. He announced that their house is left desolate. They’re going to come to ruins. And from that point on Jesus no longer spoke to the crowds or addressed the nation of Israel publicly. They were sadly now in a time of judgment. But this didn’t mean that Jesus was silent. In fact, in these last few days…

Brent Smith: Hypocrisy Confronted | Matthew 23:1-24

Since Jesus came into Jerusalem on this Passover season, starting with the Triumphal Entry in Matthew 21, the religious leaders have been attempting to find fault with Jesus. They’ve been trying to expose Him as a false teacher, but now Jesus flips things on these religious leaders, and He now unleashes His exposé on them. And boy, these guys are going to get an earful and it’s deliciously good!

Brent Smith: Civil War | Judges 20-21

Chapter 19 dealt with a disgraceful act causing the death of a man’s wife. That then led to another horrible act which leaves you wondering how anyone can sink to this sort of action. It’s horrendous and meant to shake you to your core to realize the depth of sin and wickedness that is possible when people walk away from God’s ideal. And it affects many people. One groups deplorable act will lead to the death of 65,000 people in…
