• WHY ARE WE PILGRIMS? •
DO YOU LIVE EVERYDAY IN JOYFUL PREPARATION
AND EXPECTATION FOR THE MOMENT YOUR BRIDEGROOM WILL COME TO TAKE YOU TO THE WEDDING FEAST?
If you walk a narrower path, and eternity with Christ is your goal, this may be you.
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven,
nor the Son, but only the Father".
Matthew 24:36
nor the Son, but only the Father".
Matthew 24:36
Our desire is to be prepared for that moment, (Colossians 3:23-24),
just as in the parable of 10 virgins (Matthew 25)
when they are called out of darkness into light (Ephesians 5:7-14).
(For those who do not know... a parable is called an earthly story with a heavenly meaning.)
We also want to please Him doing the good works
He has prepared for us (Philippians: 2:13, Ephesians 2:10)
as we keep in daily fellowship with Him (1 John 1:6-8).
Jesus used many parables to teach His followers.
If you know His parable of sowing the good seed into four different soils (Matthew 13)
you may not have been aware that it shows us that as we do our job of sowing seeds (sharing the gospel) we are not to worry about the what type of soil or method of we use, as long as it is for His glory.
Your mind is to be guarded. The Word tells you to not lean on your own understanding.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable,
whatever is right, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute,
if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise,
dwell on these things.

We must each do as He commands and share the gospel, (1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Mark 16:15-16)
whether it is planting, watering or harvesting, knowing each worker is rewarded (1 Corinthians 9:10)
and let the Holy Spirit work on every heart (Ezekiel 36:26).
To make the most of our time (Ephesians 5:16), as we wait for that wedding feast, (Revelation 19:7-8)
we offer ways for you to be as the Bereans (Acts 17:11) and focus on Him too (Colossians 3:23-24),
in hopes that our site will inspire you to grow in grace and knowledge (2 Peter 3:18)
shared by lovers of the Word of God, and to linger here (Philippians 4:6-7),
in His presence, returning often.
In order help teach and comfort you (2 Timothy 3:16, 4:2), and show you how to live
in today's world without becoming a part of it, and by relying on God
and His instructions from the Bible (Psalm 95:10 & 11, 2 Peter 1:3), we hold in-home 'study-services',
and have this free website (Luke 14:28-30) to share videos,
audios, classes, links and tools,
many of which are presented by other believers.
We pray that this site, and our local fellowship,
will not only bless you but also increase your desire to draw closer to
the Bridegroom, preparing you for the wedding feast too.
