The first time Jesus came, He arrived in obscurity in a small town, born in a manger. The next time He comes, the sky will split like a scroll and He will be revealed from Heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire. He is no longer a carpenter but King. Are you ready to meet Him? All will face Him as Judge or Savior.

It Is Finished
December 19, 2021 • John 19:25–30
At the cross, Jesus uttered His final declaration when He said, “It is finished.” When He died, He finished the wrath of God for all who will believe. He finished the separation between God and man created by sin. He finished the power of death and furnished evidence of the resurrection to come by raising dead saints to life at the time of His death and resurrection. All people will respond to his truth by either believing in Him or rejecting Him.

Two Criminals
December 12, 2021 • John 19:17–22
Two criminals were crucified on either side of Jesus. As the crowds mocked Him, both criminals joined in the mockery. Despite the venomous hatred of Jesus, He declared from the cross, “Father, forgive them.” In the final moments of his life, one criminal repents and turns to Jesus asking for entry into His kingdom. In an instant, Jesus promises, “Today, you will be with me in Paradise.” Everyone will respond to Jesus. There will be no middle ground or escape. How have you responded?
