Edith Waugh, Death, and Maranatha

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on January 9, 2021 by Steve DurkacJanuary 10, 2021avatar

I’m contemplating death today, because I just learned of the passing of Edith Waugh, a former church member from my Rock Hill, South Carolina days and wife of Les Waugh, whom I wrote about in a previous blog post. Edith was also the sitter for my children and allowed me the opportunity to be out and involved with church ministry, most times that was with Les as we both stuffed ourselves in my Suzuki Samurai. In fact, here’s a picture … Continue reading →

Revelation 13:11 and The United States of America?

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on January 7, 2021 by Steve DurkacJanuary 8, 2021avatar

I realize that many Bible prophecy teachers are quick to say that the United States of America isn’t in Revelation. Many of these preachers pinpoint other countries in prophecy but emphatically conclude that the United States is not even mentioned. While I hold a great deal of respect for the ministry of those who are doing all within their power to keep the great themes of prophecy before God’s people, I am not so quick to agree with them on … Continue reading →

Don’t Lose Heart

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on January 6, 2021 by Steve DurkacJanuary 6, 2021avatar

The disciples had lost their confidence that their Master was going to rise to prominence in the land, and that meant their hope of being exulted with Him was fading. Jesus was talking about dying, and within a few days He would. The mood among the band of followers was turning grim. The opposition of the pharisees and the elite class seemed to have gained a following of their own against the One who claimed to be the Messiah. This … Continue reading →

Globalism? Maranatha!

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on January 15, 2019 by Steve DurkacAugust 13, 2020avatar

The early followers of Jesus, who faced trials, persecution, and uncertainty about their future, took heart encouraging one another with an Aramaic greeting, “Maranatha!“ Maranatha means “the Lord is coming!” or “come, Lord Jesus” as in Revelation 22:20 “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!” (ESV). At CrossHope Chapel Bible Church we share in the encouragement of knowing the Lord is coming back, especially as current events remind us that our “redemption is drawing near“ (Luke 21:28). I recently viewed an hour … Continue reading →

As It Was When Jesus Was Born

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on January 4, 2019 by Steve DurkacAugust 13, 2020avatar

“Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.” -Matthew 2:1-3 (ESV) The wise men must have been surprised that everyone was troubled, which is to say perplexed, by their expectation that the Messiah has … Continue reading →
