THE SERMONS ARE PRESENTED IN ORDER OF THE RELEASED DATE
This video, concerning the times of the end, will address the popular approaches to the timing of events spoken by the prophets of both Old and New Testaments. The words of Jesus would never contradict the words of the true prophets and both the prophets and Jesus talk about the end of all things and the timing thereof. One big Christian controversy is the whole discussion about the rapture of the church, to the extent that some say there is a rapture and others say there is no rapture. Did Jesus talk about the rapture? Is it happening before the tribulation, during, or after? Does the church go through the tribulation? As you watch this video, keep an open mind and you will learn something that will help inform your position on these matters. I personally really enjoyed this message as Pastor James Kirby has brought to the fore the biblical information giving rise to the understanding of the times of the end.

Seems like something everyone would like to understand, or at least be able to take an informed, intelligent position thereby. Blessings
Jim's Sermon 10 27 2024 Part 3 Olivet Discourse
YouTube Video UExOS2s2bk56bGJJa0Q1UVpWTDNMVFhoc0tzcnlGc1MwMS42RDgxQ0M2OUIwREZCNjZF
This is part 2 of the series that will give the answers to the questions that the disciples asked Jesus about the timing for His return and the end of the world as we know it. (Matthew 24:3 3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?”) When you think about it, those two questions are really significant on the scale of all questions that can ever be asked. Elsewhere in the gospels, Mark 13:32-33, speaking to these same questions, (Mark 13:3-4... Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?) Jesus says (But of that day and that hour knows no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. 33 Take heed, watch and pray: for you do not know not when the time is.) Is there an answer with the exact date and time so everyone can get their "act together" at the last minute? NO! It is not an exact time so that the church would keep itself in a state of readiness. Part of this deliberately ambiguous timing is so we would not believe any false teacher or prophet that announces a specific day or hour for Jesus's return, misleading the believers into following that false teacher of prophet. It's a very kind, yet serious warning by Jesus that we should be aware of self-appointed prophets in every age since the crucifixion. Helping us to understand the times of the end, this video will alert the church as that time draws nearer and nearer. We are to discern the times and seasons, yet without knowing the exact time of the return. There are distinct signs of those times that Jesus wants His church to recognize. This series is designed to help us discern the moment in His-Story in which we are, and even more so as the END is nearer than we think. How can we be sure that this is the case? Hear Jesus where He says in Luke, "Luke 12:40 Be therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when you THINK NOT.)

Olivet Discourse Part 2

Do the words of Jesus help us understand the book of Revelation? Do the prophets in the Old Testament speak of the last days for the church?... the world? Here is just a bit of what Jesus said when warning His hearers about "The Last Days." Mark 13:20-27 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, which he hath chosen, he hath shortened those days. 21 Then if any man say to you, Lo, here is Christ, or lo, he is there, believe it not. 22 For false Christs shall rise, and false prophets, and shall show signs and wonders, to deceive if it were possible the very elect. 23 But take heed: behold, I have showed you all things before. 24 ¶ Moreover in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall wax dark, and the moon shall not give her light, 25 And the stars of heaven shall fall: and the powers which are in heaven, shall shake. 26 And then shall they see the Son of man, coming in the clouds, with great power and glory. 27 And he shall then send his Angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, and from the utmost part of the earth to the utmost part of heaven. (1599 Geneva Bible) For the next nine weeks, the church on the corner of Little Lake and Kasten in Mendocino, is going to take the appearance of a classroom with tables and chairs and notebooks for all. Pastor James Kirby is going to be examining our times in the light of biblical prophecy to help us understand just where we are in the prophetical timeline and what signs or evidences we should be looking for to be able to discern the moment in history of which we are. Beginning with the discourses on the Mt. of Olives with Jesus's own words as our guiding voice, and moving through the various prophecies in both the Old and New Testament, we will discover not only the continuity of Bible-prophetic voices through centuries, but we will begin to understand and discern the signs depicting the season of His returning to the earth to gather his church and initiate the final judgment of all mankind. If you are not a believer, you may want to attend this classroom opportunity to learn what the Bible has to say about God's plans that are even now unfolding in this tumultuous world of ours. Even if you have a different world view, this study will help you understand why the church believes what it does concerning Christ, His promised returning, the signs of the end, and the goodness of God who has not left us clueless or ignorant of what He has planned for all people from all times, places, and beliefs. This should not only be an intellectually stimulating learning event, but also a time for clarity of understanding for discerning the times and events we are living through today. This class will help you see the "Sign" hidden in these words of most "Significance." The class session begins at 11:00 AM every Sunday for the next 9 weeks. This WILL BE a life-changing event for all who attend or watch this video. If you benefited from this message, please return to watch the other eight in this series.

If you really needed something and it seemed out of your reach, to which of these three would you resort? A WISH, A DESIRE, or A HOPE? In this video, Pastor James Kirby sets out the distinctions among the three and offers an answer for the Believer. I often find myself using the word, "wish" when there is something I really want or want to happen. Sounds like the stuff of fairy tales. "Just wish hard enough and it will happen." well, we all know that's not true. How about, "If I want something bad enough, it will come to me?" I don't think I would bet my life on that one either. But is there something called "hope" that runs through the human soul and provides a kind of substance that can go the distance in meeting a need? I think there is a song with the words, "You don't always get what you want." Watch this message and glean the hope you NEED for today, tomorrow, and FOREVER. It is our hope that you grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We all are familiar with the scriptures that talk about the Armor of God, including equipment such as The Helmet of Salvation, The Sword of Truth, The Shield of Faith, etc.. But, this is just the beginning of our equipping. In this message, we learn about how the man or woman of God is "Thoroughly furnished for every good work". There are, in fact, many more provisions that God will give us for the asking when we ask in faith. Luke 12:32 says, "Fear not little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." One wonderful equipping for living our day-to-day lives is written in James, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally...and it shall be given him." This talk is about the six areas of life where God says his wisdom is readily available to all believers. These six aeras cover every aspect of living. God wants you to ask Him for His wisdom and not rely on your own wisdom or the wisdom of this world. After you watch this video, please take a minute and ask God for the wisdom for whatever you are facing or attempting to do. God's wisdom will be yours when you ask in faith. Please remember to click, SUBSCRIBE and comment how God's wisdom has changed your situations in life. Blessings.

Love is the heart of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In this message, Pastor James Kirby is responding to a visitor that said "Shouldn't love be at the core of every religion?" We know that love is universal but it is also subject to much misrepresentation. Some very bad things have been done in the name of love and most of those bad examples have at their core, selfishness. Please watch this video to appreciate what could possibly be the most credible act of love of God towards man and how men and women can best express perfect love towards each other and towards God.

This is a very good teaching on God's relationship and actions towards the Jews in these last days. "The Judgment of the Jews" looks at some of the fallacies of belief about the Jewish nation as cultured through history and still extant today. What do you think about the last days and the plan of salvation for the nations? Watch this video and subscribe if you will. Good teaching is a very valuable source for joy. Enjoy!

This is the best message on the nature of the Christian experience I have ever heard. What God has done through salvation for us is absolutely life changing. He takes us from the maze, with dead ends, blocked passages, and miserable traps and places us in a labyrinth with one predetermined destination if we just stay on the path and move forward. Without a doubt, the best explanation of predestination that anyone, including non-Christians can understand. You are going to really love this message.

"Living For Your Future" is a video that shares 5 different things we should all be doing to assure and ensure not only the best quality of life here and now, but also how we should be preparing ourselves for judgment. Now, if you don't believe that judgment is coming, well, I would say you are ignoring that scripture which declares, "It is appointed unto man once to die and then the judgment." That's a pretty hefty biblical declaration to just set aside and to not consider as maybe it is there to give you fair warning that God is just and will see to ultimate justice. That which is within you that cries out for justice while you are living here on planet Earth, has in fact been placed in you by an altogether just Creator and righteous judge. Try these scriptures on for size. Romans 14:12 So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God. (NIV) 1 Peter 4:5 But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. (NIV) 2 Timothy 4:1 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, (NIV) Please watch this video for your soul's sake. Blessings.

You know the Bible tells us that we will be a nation of kings and priests. (And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Revelation 1:5-6) We don't have to wait to receive our crowns. How many crowns? What kind of crowns? Pastor James Kirby tells us about 5 crowns the believer may be given. Learn how we can use these crowns to live our lives every day. We, who are flesh and blood, cannot see those crowns with our natural eyes, but rest assured, the powers that exist in the world of the Spirit are well aware of the crowns we have been given. As Christians, we wear these crowns of authority and privilege that we have in Christ. We invite you to examine these crowns so you can appreciate just how much you have already been given of your inheritance as a result of Christ's death for you and to all those who love His appearing. (I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8) Now you may discover the 4 other crowns offered to the believer by watching this video.

The scriptures tell us that "The last enemy to be destroyed is death." Well that's great news, but the Bible also says, " Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage." That's one inspired mouthful. Pastor James Kirby is sharing with us the three kinds of death with which we all must confront in our lifetime. Knowledge is power and herein is the knowledge you need to overcome the fear of death. Don't take my word for it. Take the words right out of Jesus's own mouth. We all will face physical death. What is equally inevitable is that the other two deaths are also nipping at our heels. Enjoy the video and be strengthened. Blessings.

How different would your life be if you had no fears? It turns out that just asking the internet to create a list of fears, produces an answer of the first hundred only! Pastor James Kirby teaches us that most fears can be summed up in just a "handful" of major fear categories. This week, he discusses 2 of the biggest fears facing every human being on earth. If you want to learn what these major topics of fear are, then please watch this video and discover how God has given us the means and the knowledge to be free from them all. It takes understanding, wisdom, and knowledge to even hope to overcome inabilities and failings in our lives. self-discipline without content and structure is tantamount to saying, "I can do this without God's help." But, as we learn herein, We can do all things.....THROUGH Christ who strengthens us. Believers, we cannot "go around" Christ if we want to please Him in our faith. This is markedly clear when dealing with our fears. The great news is, if you are in Christ and he is in you, then he will show you how to confront and deal with every fear you will ever encounter. So how different would your life be if you had zero fears? Please feel free to comment on this video as we truly believe that "You shall know the Truth and the Truth will make you free"...including freedom from all those crippling fears. Next week, "The Fear of Death."

Being transformed by the renewing of your mind is a glorious change that brings about the abundant life Jesus spoke of when he said, "I came that you might have life, and that life more abundantly." He doesn't just change our mind, he equips us with thinking capacities that take in the Eternal with a renewed knowledge and perspective of the temporal. This transformation is nothing short of phenomenal as it contains the mystery of Godliness and the knowledge of the Holy One. His wisdom, knowledge, and understanding gives us every advantage in and over life as we grow in the graces that come with being his children and by being partakers of the Divine nature. No mind can comprehend or process the truth of the gospel unless that mind has been transformed and renewed by the gift of God, which is in Christ Jesus. The Good News just keeps getting better the more our transformed minds are given to pursue the knowledge of God and the hungering and thirsting after His Righteousness.

When God formed Adam's (BODY) out of the clay, God, the Creator breathed (SPIRIT) into Adam, he became a living (SOUL). But Alas! Adam sinned and the scriptures tell us he "fell". He and Eve were banned from the garden where before times, both enjoyed an intimate relationship with their Creator. Adam and Eve were made in the image of God, but when they fell, they fell BODY, SOUL, and SPIRIT. In this message, Pastor Jim tells us that Christ came to model and restore the image of God in each of us and that the Holy Spirit has taken Jesus's place on Earth for a season and is working on all three fallen areas in us to restore us to fellowship with God. To the extent we cooperate with the Word of God and the Holy Spirit's sanctifying work in us, we will be transformed from our deformed state of fallenness back into the child of God we were meant to be. Some resist the spirit, are deceived, or haven't heard the Good News. Others are not really committed to follow but they do have a beginning understanding, yet just aren't moving towards God in their behavior or knowledge. Then there are those who are his disciples and are doing their best to please God with their choices and behaviors. Nobody has modeled this discipleship as thoroughly and convincingly as Jesus. As you watch this video, take the time to identify where you are spiritually as presented in these graphic illustrations of the state of each example of BODY, SOUL, and SPIRIT as it is evidenced in your life choices and actions.

There are nine fruits of the Spirit mentioned in Galatians. I think it is interesting to note that the actual scripture refers to "Fruit of the Spirit" and not "Fruits of the Spirit." When I thought about it, I considered that this is a picture of one tree with a whole variety of fruit on it. Just so, every Christian that has been growing in the Lord is a "tree of righteousness." Here is the scripture that comes to mind. "...that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified." Isa:61-3. The more fruit we grow, the more the Lord is glorified. As you watch this video, be on the lookout in your own life for all the fruits mentioned in Galatians. As Pastor Jim has requested. let us also ask ourselves, "What fruits do I need to water more in my life and what can I pray in asking the Holy Spirit to help my tree bare more fruit. One last scripture: "In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations..." Rev. 22:2 Please don't forget to click SUBSCRIBE. Thanks!
