Can I Ask That? | Is Jesus really coming back?

Mark. 13:24-27, 32-37

May 5, 2024 • Pastor Mike Curtis • Mark 13:24–27, Mark 13:32–37

It sure seems like it has been a long time since Jesus left us and ascended off into heaven. Most scholars and historians believe that Jesus was born about 6 B.C. That means he ascended into heaven about 1,997 years ago. That’s a long time! It leads us to the real-life question, “Is Jesus coming back?” Join us as we explore this question and seek real and relevant answers as we explore James 5:7-11 and Mark 13:24-27, 32-37. We hope you will worship with us as we continue our “Can I Ask That?” sermon and Life Group series.

As we explore these prophetic passages, we'll uncover the threads of prophecy woven through the tapestry of Scripture, demonstrating the divine design that prepares us for the Savior.

We will continue our "Majoring in the Minors" summer series as we dive into the compelling book of Haggai with our sermon, "First Things First."

We'll explore passages from Haggai 1:1-15 and 2:5-9, challenging us to reassess our priorities and place God’s work at the forefront of our busy lives. How often are we, as 21st-century American Christians, distracted by our own "paneled houses" at the cost of spiritual growth and community engagement? This sermon will not only prompt a reflection on our priorities but also motivate us to align our daily actions with the values of God's Kingdom. Don’t miss this vital message about what it really means to put "First Things First."
