Worship

A Word from Our Pastor

Welcome to worship, First Baptist Family

If you went to the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., you would see a plaque on the wall that would certainly grab your attention. It is a quotation from Alfred Lord Tennyson’s poem, In Memoriam. It says,

 “ONE GOD, ONE LAW,ONE ELEMENT, AND ONE FAR OFF DIVINE EVENT

TO WHICH THE WHOLE CREATION MOVES.”

It’s referring to the Second Coming of Jesus! And let me confidently declare to you this morning that Jesus Christ is going to return to planet earth!  This is the main event to which all of creation is moving!

In today’s sermon, we will study Mark 13 when Jesus looks ahead and predicts 3 things that will happen before He returns.

Pay careful attention, because we all have to be ready.

Listen carefully today, for God is speaking,


Pastor Danny
