      <title>Mark 8:22</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;September 7, 2025&#xA;&lt;div class=&#34;sermonaudio-video&#34;&gt;&#xA;    &#xA;&lt;div style=&#34;position:relative;width:100%;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%&#34;&gt;&lt;iframe tabindex=&#34;-1&#34; width=&#34;100%&#34; height=&#34;100%&#34; src=&#34;https://embed.sermonaudio.com/player/v/9925137206931/&#34; style=&#34;position:absolute;left:0;top:0&#34; allowfullscreen frameborder=&#34;0&#34; scrolling=&#34;no&#34;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;/div&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1 id=&#34;sight-restored&#34;&gt;&#xA;  Sight Restored&#xA;  &lt;a class=&#34;anchor&#34; href=&#34;#sight-restored&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Mark 8:22-26&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Introduction&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We have before us a unique passage.  The blind man of Bethsaida is only given to us in the Gospel of Mark.  It is therefore unique.  It is further unique because it is the only miracle done in the Scripture, which is described as being done partially, or requiring two different times.  I have often wondered about the meaning behind this miracle.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Revelation 22</title>
      <link>https://ricefamilyministries.com/docs/bible_outlines/revelation/20230723-revelation22/</link>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;July 23, 2023&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;div class=&#34;sermonaudio-video&#34;&gt;&#xA;    &#xA;&lt;iframe tabindex=&#34;-1&#34; width=&#34;100%&#34; height=&#34;150&#34; src=&#34;https://embed.sermonaudio.com/player/a/81723201596096/&#34; style=&#34;min-width: 150px;&#34; frameborder=&#34;0&#34; scrolling=&#34;no&#34;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;/div&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1 id=&#34;the-closing&#34;&gt;&#xA;  The Closing&#xA;  &lt;a class=&#34;anchor&#34; href=&#34;#the-closing&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Revelation 22:1-5&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Introduction&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We have arrived at the final chapter of Revelation. We started our&#xA;series on July 24, 2022. So it has taken us exactly one year to get&#xA;through the book of Revelation on Sunday nights. In one year, we have&#xA;only heard 35 messages on the book of Revelation. We took a little more&#xA;time in the first three chapters, then we took one chapter per service.&#xA;Through the series, I hope it has been educational, exhorting, and&#xA;encouraging to you.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;July 20, 2025&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;div class=&#34;sermonaudio-video&#34;&gt;&#xA;    &#xA;&lt;div style=&#34;position:relative;width:100%;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%&#34;&gt;&lt;iframe tabindex=&#34;-1&#34; width=&#34;100%&#34; height=&#34;100%&#34; src=&#34;https://embed.sermonaudio.com/player/v/722251533576459/&#34; style=&#34;position:absolute;left:0;top:0&#34; allowfullscreen frameborder=&#34;0&#34; scrolling=&#34;no&#34;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;/div&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1 id=&#34;order-of-events&#34;&gt;&#xA;  Order of Events&#xA;  &lt;a class=&#34;anchor&#34; href=&#34;#order-of-events&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Introduction&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;God didn&amp;rsquo;t see fit to give us one clear passage that defines clearly the&#xA;timeline to the end times. We therefore must put our hand to the plow&#xA;and&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2Tim. 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that&#xA;needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The end times are much like puzzle pieces scattered throughout the&#xA;Bible, and we must gather them together and assemble the puzzle. Some&#xA;pieces are easily recognizable, and it becomes clear. My goal tonight is&#xA;not to give you the entirety of the puzzle, but to put enough of the&#xA;edge pieces together, that you can figure out the picture. We are only&#xA;looking at the end times, with concern of what the Bible calls the&#xA;church. This church, will not be assembled until it is called out, and&#xA;assembled in heaven.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
