    based on 134 ratings
     | 13,574 views

    God’s Word has given us ample warning of the coming Rapture. We are each responsible for how we treat and react to these warnings.

    SIGNPOSTS ON THE ROAD TO RAPTURE Luke 21:25-28 INTRO. This is a very important doctrine and yet it is not believed by many church members. [Dad used to tell of a woman who told him that she did not believe all this business about Jesus coming so soon. She asked, "What do you think about that?" ...read more

     | 3,854 views

    A look at the perfect and holy fulfillment of God’s promise of a Savior.

    A CHILD IS BORN Luke 1:30-33 INTRO. I never cease to be amazed by those so-called "scholars" who are continually trying to find errors or contradictions with the flawless Word of God. Jesus prayed, "Thy Word is truth." My grand-dad used to say, "The best part of telling the truth is that you ...read more

    Contributed by Howard Parnell on Oct 16, 2002
    based on 260 ratings
     | 20,140 views

    A Christian’s Christmas wish for the lost of the world is that they may receive these 3 gifts; but they are not gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

    THREE GIFTS FOR CHRISTMAS Luke 1:68 INTRO. The text is taken from the prophecy of Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist. [The story of John’s birth; the prophecy of the angel to Zacharias in the Temple (Luke 1:13-17).] So Zacharias knew that his new born son was to go before the Lord’s ...read more

    The Curse Of Hidden Sins

    Contributed by Howard Parnell on Oct 7, 2002
    based on 117 ratings
     | 22,906 views

    Many are under the misconception that they can get away with trying to hide their sin from God. The story of Achan illustrates the fallacy of that kind of thinking.

    THE CURSE OF HIDDEN SINS Prov. 28:13 INTRO. You will never get by with covered-up sin. Sin that is unconfessed, sin that is unlamented, sin with an alibi, sin that is excused, sin with no self-judgement, is certain to bring the wrath of a holy and righteous and angry God! It would be smart for ...read more

    The call of Jesus Christ to follow comes to every man.

    FOLLOW ME Matt. 4:18-20 INTRO. What would you have done if the incident we have just read had happened to you? If a stranger came into your place of business one day and said, "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men." What would you do? Ignore him and hope he would soon go away? Call a ...read more

    based on 74 ratings
     | 11,830 views

    One day we will all find out that no matter how valuable the materials we use to build with, if the foundation is faulty all effort is in vain.

    BUILDING FOR ETERNITY Matt. 7:24-29 INTRO. This passage comes at the end of the Lord’s Sermon on the Mount in which he gives the beatitudes...shows the importance of his believers in the world (salt of the earth)...tells the Jews that he is the fulfillment of the Law of Moses...gives a new view ...read more

    Faithful Or Fruitful

    Contributed by Howard Parnell on Oct 7, 2002
    based on 51 ratings
     | 6,496 views

    It is possible for one to consider himself faithful but still not produce any practical fruit for the kingdom of Christ.

    FAITHFUL OR FRUITFUL? Matt. 25:14-30 INTRO. Parables defined -- a story used to illustrate a spiritual truth. Why Jesus used parables -- Matt. 13:10-11 So this parable is to teach us some spiritual truth about the working of the kingdom of heaven. In order to find that truth we must ...read more

    Whereby Shall I Know This?

    Contributed by Howard Parnell on Oct 7, 2002
    based on 46 ratings
     | 3,234 views

    This passage illustrates how dangerous it can be to doubt God’s promises.

    WHEREBY SHALL I KNOW THIS? Luke 1:18 INTRO. Isn’t it amazing that there are events in past history that we accept without question as having happened in a most marvelous way but should the same thing happen to us we would be inclined to doubt! Zach. Is an old man and his wife has been barren ...read more

    Contributed by Howard Parnell on Oct 7, 2002
    based on 64 ratings
     | 3,325 views

    Too many of God’s children try hard to be something they are not. God wants us to just be christians.

    JUST BE CHRISTIANS Luke 17:10 INTRO. Generally speaking, there seems to be mainly 3 kinds of church members: 1. Those who mostly moan about what can’t be done; 2. Those who mostly brag on what has been done, in the past; 3. Those who don’t care one way or the other. Some believe God demands ...read more

    Contributed by Howard Parnell on Oct 7, 2002
    based on 24 ratings
     | 7,015 views

    When it comes to holy living, we all have weaknesses. The apostle Paul shows us how God can use our weaknesses to show His strength.

    WEAKNESS AND STRENGTH II Cor. 12:10 INTRO. This entire chapter deals with the Apostle Paul’s very peculiar experience. In vs. 1 he refers to his glorious revelations, the unspeakable visions he had seen (vs. 3-6) and in vs. 7 he mentions the thorn in the flesh which was designed by God to ...read more

    The Plain Truth

    Contributed by Howard Parnell on Oct 7, 2002
    based on 60 ratings
     | 5,589 views

    What people need today more than anything else is the truth concerning their eternal destiny.

    THE PLAIN TRUTH Prov. 23:22-25 INTRO. The world today is hurting for the truth. We hear a lot about the "credibility gap". That is the difference between what the people are told and the real truth. There is a credibility gap in the presentation of the gospel also. Many people are lost and ...read more

    based on 90 ratings
     | 6,512 views

    In the last days there will come scoffers, mocking the Word of God but God has already provided an answer for them.

    GOD’S ANSWER TO SCOFFERS II Pet. 3:3-4 INTRO. A recent poll of so-called theology students revealed that 97% of them did not believe in the bodily return of Jesus. You can be sure that there were scoffers in Peter’s time and in every age since then but as the end time approaches the scoffers ...read more

     | 4,630 views

    In Jesus we find all we need to know about God.

    THE LIVING WORD John 1:1-2 INTRO. This passage is one of the great summits of Holy Scripture. Notice how abruptly John plunges into the depths of eternal truth. He makes no effort to explain himself or his argument. It almost seems as if John was standing at the foot of some enormous ...read more
