    <description>Let's face it...life sometimes is hard and can just suck. When we are faced with life's challenges we can be discouraged, get tired, and become weary. What we need is motivation, encouragement, and a helping hand that keeps us going. That's the idea of GRINDIT! We find our strength to endure when we focus on Jesus. God's own Son wasn't exempt from life's challenges and He didn't do anything to deserve what he went through! And yet He did...willingly, therefore we find our hope in Him.

  <description>There has been person after person trying to predict when Jesus is coming back. They have sold books, made videos, movies, tv programs, etc talking about Jesus’ return. We talk about it in this podcast because Paul talks about it to the church in Thessalonica. He does so because he wants them to be encourage by it. They had lost loved ones to persecution and they thought they would never see them again, so Paul comforts them by telling them, “Jesus is coming back and when he does, your loved ones that were following him, they’re coming with him...” We’re going to look at the facts and stay away from the fluff...

  <description>Jesus tells four stories to try and help his disciples understand his returning. In this podcast we talk about the first two but all four of them have a certain theme: 
1.  We don’t know when Jesus will return,
2.  His return will take a long period of time,
3.  Keep watching,
4.  Keep waiting with anticipation, 
5.  And keep working.
If we will keep these five things in mind, no matter when it happens or how it happens, we will safe and living with Jesus for eternity!

  <description>Jesus was leaving the Temple with his disciples when he tells them "This building you see will be completely destroyed and not one stone will be left on top of another." They were curious and wanted to know when this is going to take place so Jesus gives them some signs to look for. However, he ties these signs into his returning toward the end of Matthew 24 and we discuss these signs so that you will be prepared! Even so come quickly Lord Jesus!
