Brent Smith: Preparation for the Cross | Matthew 26:1-30
Jesus prepares for His crucifixion with deliberate movement. We see Him predicting His death, Mary preparing for His death, Judas plotting His death, and the Passover pointing to His death.
Brent Smith: Watching, Waiting and Working | Matthew 25:14-46
Jesus warns His disciples that He is coming again, but not according to their timing. So, they need to live ready and expectant otherwise they may be caught off guard. When He returns there will be a reckoning and a separation of those who are His and those who are not.
Brent Smith: Man of Salvation | 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 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: Troubles and Tribulations | Matthew 24:9-28
Jesus shares on events that will be taking place during the Tribulation. As hard as those times may be, He gives insights of what to expect, and encouragement for those that will be alive at that time.
Choose Life – Jeff Thompson | Deuteronomy 30:11-20
Deuteronomy 30:11-20 emphasizes the Israelites’ responsibility to choose life by obeying God’s commandments, promising blessings and long life in the land, while warning that disobedience leads to death and a shorter time in the land.
Stewart Karpiuk: The Power of One | John 1:35-42
John the Baptist, seeing Jesus walking by, proclaims “Behold, the Lamb of God!”. Two of John’s disciples, hearing this, follow Jesus who then asks them “What are you seeking?”. After they stay with him for a day, Andrew, one of the disciples, finds his brother Simon and introduces him to Jesus, who then renames him Peter.
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 part 2 | Matthew 23:25-39
Jesus continues His pronouncement of ‘woes’ on the hypocritical religious leaders all the while maintaining a grief of heart for their fake showing, their feigned support, and their failing submission.
