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.

Brent Smith: The Parable of the Ten Virgins | Matthew 25:1-13
Matthew 25 is still dealing with the Olivet Discourse.

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…
