When the Son of Man comes... will he find the faith on earth?  Exposition of Luke 18:1-11.  The parable of a widow whose persistence is an example for believers to keep the faith until Jesus comes.  There will be difficulty and a time interval until He returns, but be assured, He's coming back.  English and Hebrew, 43 minutes.
Herod the Varmint Sometimes political rulers need to be put into place.  God's plans won't be affected or even postponed because of human political rulers - those little destructive varmints.  Political rulers, in general, oppose God's work in Jesus. An exposition of Luke 13:31-35.  English and Hebrew. 47 minutes.
Knock, Knock, Knocking on Heaven's Door Or, "Salvation:  A Limited Time Offer".  Sermon: an exposition of Luke 13:18-32.  Someone asked Jesus if "Those who are saved are few?"  He taught with parables (and illusions to the Old Testament) that the door to salvation is open now.  But a time will come when the door is shut.  Many will come knocking, thinking they will be granted entrance.  But they will end up outside, weeping and gnashing teeth over their lost opportunity.    English and Hebrew, 54 minutes.
His Kingdom Will Come Get on the right side of history.  An exposition of Luke 11:1-4, the so-called "Lord's Prayer".  This short prayer, about 35 words total in most English translations, says a lot about God, and how believers (should) view life.  The Fatherhood of God is emphasized.  English and Hebrew, 47 minutes.
Losing Your Soul An exposition of Luke 12:13-21, the parable of the rich fool.  Does a human being own his/her own soul?  Can we have security in a retirement fund?  The Jesus of today is kind of a love-all wimp, but the Jesus of the New Testament tells a story in which God calls a man who thinks he's got it all together -- a fool. (42 min, English and Hebrew)

Are we ready?

Be Ready: The Return of the Son of Man may take Longer than People Think An exposition of Luke 12:35-48.  Jesus taught parables to encourage and warn His followers to be faithful in His absence.  Don't let a longer than expected absence cause us to be lax, or doubt His return.  Believers know the Son of Man is returning in glory and won't be caught off guard "like a thief in the night" when Jesus comes.  52 minutes.
