 The Second Coming of Jesus Christ (Matthew 24; Revelation 19) — What Jesus Said About Your Future, Part 3Jesus promised, “Surely I come quickly” (Rev. 22:20). In this message we open Matthew 24:29–30 and Revelation 19:11–21 to see His literal, visible, victorious return—and why it matters today.The Gospel: Jesus died for our sins and rose again (1 Cor. 15:3–4). Turn to Him in faith and be ready for His return.Scripture refs: Matt. 24:29–31; Rev. 19:11–21; Acts 1:9–11; Titus 2:13; 2 Thess. 1:7; Ps. 2; Zech. 14; Rom. 11; Rev. 20.Follow the podcast, and share the episode.

The Great Tribulation — What Jesus Said About Your Future (Part 2)From Matthew 24 we trace Jesus' end-times outline and tie it to Daniel 7-11, 2 Thessalonians 2, and Revelation 6–18. You'll hear: the rise of a world ruler, the abomination of desolation, global control (government/religion/economy), God's righteous judgments, and the triumphant return of Christ. We close with solid hope for believers and a straightforward Gospel invitation.Scripture References: Matt. 24:15, 21–31; Dan. 7; 8:23–25; 9:26–27; 11:36–39; 2 Thes. 2:3–12; Rev. 6; 13; 16–18; Ps. 2; 1 Thes. 1:10; 5:9.Episode Breakdown (with time cues).

Stop when you're close to the time you want.If this message has blessed you, don't just stop here—take the next step!Philippians 3:1; 4:4 reminds us: “Rejoice in the Lord always.”The true joy and safety of life is found in Jesus Christ—He alone forgives sins, secures eternity, and gives peace that the world cannot take away.

Our Spiritual Safeguard — Philippians 3:1; 4:4From a prison cell, Paul commands believers to rejoice in the Lord always. In this sermon, Pastor Monroe unpacks why joy is a safeguard (Phil. 3:1) and strength (Neh. 8:10), how it differs from happiness, and how the Holy Spirit grows joy as fruit in the Christian life (Gal. 5:22–23). We also anchor joy where Jesus did: “Rejoice that your names are written in heaven” (Luke 10:20).The Gospel: Jesus died for our sins and rose again. If you'll turn to Him in repentance and faith, He will save you, forgive you, and give you new life.Scriptures: Phil. 3:1; 4:4; Neh. 8:10; Prov. 22:24; 17:22; Luke 10:17–20; 1 Pet. 1:3–8; John 15:11; Ps. 30:5; Gal. 5:22–23.

In this kickoff message, Pastor opens Matthew 24 and lets Jesus explain Jesus—deception, wars, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, persecution, and worldwide Gospel witness—with the command: “Be not troubled.” Cross-references include Luke 21:20–24, 28 and Luke 19:41–44 to set the context and urgency.Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again (1 Cor. 15:3–4). Turn to Him in repentance and faith today.Scripture References: Matthew 24:1–14; Luke 21:20–24, 28; Luke 19:41–44; Matthew 24:30–31Follow the podcast, share this episode, and invite a friend for Part 2.

From a prison cell, Paul penned the Epistle of Joy to teach us how to live faithfully “whatever happens.” We are called to work out what God has worked in, to trust His Spirit at work within us, and to shine as lights in a crooked and perverse world.In this sermon, Pastor Bill Monroe explains the gift of salvation (Eph. 2:8–9), the daily work of the Holy Spirit (1 Thess. 2:13), and the call for believers to live with joy and courage.Listen, share, and let God's Word strengthen your walk today.

The Mind of Christ (Philippians 2:5-11)In this episode, Bill Monroe unpacks one of the most powerful passages in Scripture: the humiliation and exaltation of Jesus Christ. From heaven's glory to a manger, from the cross to the throne, Jesus shows us the mind and attitude we are called to live out.Hear the Gospel clearly: “Christ died for our sins and rose again” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). Salvation is the gift of God by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). Receive Him today.If you're already a believer, let this message strengthen your walk and remind you: “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.”Scriptures: Philippians 2:5-11, Ephesians 2:8-10, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4Follow our podcast for more messages, and share this episode with someone who needs the truth of God's Word.

RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTHThe Key to Understanding Your BibleText: 2 Timothy 3:15 | Ephesians 1:10 | Ephesians 3:2The Bible is God's inspired, infallible, inerrant Word—but how do we make sense of 1,300+ pages of people, places, covenants, and commands? In this timely message, we'll discover the simple method God gives us to interpret His Word clearly: Rightly Dividing—a principle we call Dispensationalism.You'll learn why this Bible-centered approach has been embraced by generations of faithful preachers and missionaries—and why it's under growing attack from influencers, celebrities, and theologians who deny Israel's role and blur God's promises.From Eden to Calvary, from Law to Grace, the plan of salvation has never changed: a blood sacrifice for sin, fulfilled in Christ. The question remains: What will you do with Jesus?Don't miss this foundational teaching. Watch. Take notes.

SURVIVAL GUIDE: Whatever Happens—Hope in Christ | Philippians 1 | Pastor Bill MonroeLife doesn't always go like we planned, but whatever happens, Christ is enough.In this powerful and practical message from Philippians 1, Pastor Monroe shares Paul's survival guide for uncertain times. From a cold Roman prison cell, Paul penned the most joyful letter in the New Testament. Why? Because his hope wasn't in comfort or control—it was anchored in Christ.“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” (Phil. 1:21)“That Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.” (Phil. 1:20)In this sermon, you'll discover three unshakable truths that will help you thrive—not just survive:Whatever happens—my hope is in ChristWhatever happens—to live is Christ, to die is gainWhatever happens—live a life worthy of the GospelPaul's message still speaks loud and clear: You may not get to choose your circumstances, but you can choose Christ as your center, source, and strength.Gospel Message: Salvation isn't in religion, politics, or success—it's in a Person: Jesus Christ. If you've never trusted Him, today is the day. He died for your sins, rose again, and offers eternal life to all who believe. (John 3:16, Romans 5:8)If you need hope, if you're tired of just “muddling through,” this message is for you. Let Jesus become your anchor in the storm.

What is really happening with Israel today—and why should it matter to every Bible-believing Christian? In this powerful message, Pastor Bill Monroe walks through Zechariah's prophecy and explains the prophetic significance of Israel as “that burdensome stone.” With antisemitism on the rise—even among evangelicals—this sermon offers both biblical clarity and a Gospel-centered warning.You'll learn why Israel is the most unique nation in history, how the Abrahamic covenant still matters today, and why we must keep our eyes on the “bellwether” of prophecy. And most importantly, you'll hear a clear call to know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior.Don't just scroll—watch, worship, and share. We're living in prophetic times. If you don't know Christ, now is the time to run to Him.Key Scriptures:Zechariah 12:1–3Genesis 12:1–3Romans 11:1–26Ezekiel 37Deuteronomy 7:7–9Subscribe to stay grounded in biblical truth.

"Freedom Indeed" — John 8 | Pastor Bill Monroe | Florence Baptist TempleThis week as America celebrates Independence Day, we paused to remember a far greater freedom—the kind only Jesus Christ can give.From John 8, Jesus declares, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” That's not political. That's personal. That's eternal.Freedom from the penalty of sin. Freedom from the power of sin. And one day, praise God, freedom from the very presence of sin. You don't have to live in spiritual slavery another day. If you're bound by guilt, addiction, or the weight of sin—Jesus Christ offers real, lasting freedom.Come hear the full message of hope, forgiveness, and victory in Christ alone.Have you been set free? Do you know where you'll go after this life ends? Today is the day to make that decision.Scripture References:John 8:12–36Romans 6:18Galatians 5:12 Corinthians 3:17Isaiah 61:1

Have you ever asked, “Who am I, really?” Philippians 1 gives us the answer straight from God's Word: If you're saved, you are IN Christ—a saint, a servant, a recipient of grace, and a work in progress that God promises to finish. In this message from Philippians 1:1–6, we take a close look at four little prepositions—IN, OF, FROM, and UNTIL—and uncover big spiritual truths about our identity, our position, our daily experience, and our confidence in Jesus Christ.Being “in church” is good… but it's not the same as being in Christ. True salvation isn't about behavior or trying harder—it's about a transaction: exchanging your sin for Christ's righteousness by faith alone. That's the Gospel. And the moment you trust Christ, you're declared holy, sealed by His Spirit, and held by His grace—not just saved, but kept saved. If you've never trusted Christ as your Savior, I urge you—come to the cross today. Repent of your sin, and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. He will save you, and He will finish the work He starts in you.(Phil. 1:6; Rom. 5:1; Heb. 9:26–10:14; 1 Cor. 6:19–20)Be sure to like, subscribe, and share this message so others can be encouraged by the truth of God's amazing grace.
