    Will you be bored in Heaven? That’s because so many of us make it sound that way. In this message I hope to point out some popular myths about Heaven, as well as to explore some activities/work we'll be doing there, as well as to say "good-bye" to our Earth-bound curses!

    Will You be Bored in Heaven? Revelation 22:1-7 By Dr. Jeffery C. Russell Edenton, NC Mark Twain, the famous American humorist and author of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, was asked at a dinner party where he thought he would like to spend eternity, replied: “I’d rather refrain from saying, ...read more

     | 3,993 views

    It is what it is?" It's usually a string to throw out there to explain how to accept the unacceptable. Isn't life supposed to be better than this?

    "It is What it Is!" Jeremiah 31: 1-6 The other day I prayed and asked the Lord what He wanted me to preach on tonight and by the end of the day He made it abundantly clear. I went to cut a limb using my chainsaw. The chain got stuck and in my attempt to free it, I broke the chain! ...read more

    The Scrooge In All Of Us

    Contributed by Jeffery Russell on Dec 17, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,540 views

    I have adapted a recent J. John’s sermon, using Scripture to compare Herod and our own sinful tendencies with the Dickens’ character Ebenezer Scrooge.

    The Scrooge in All of Us Matthew 2:13-18 Christmas is one of those times that almost demands that we be creative with the familiar- the story of Bethlehem, and the baby Jesus in a manger. The angels we have heard on high. You might feel that you are familiar with the story that you ...read more

    Contributed by Jeffery Russell on Dec 6, 2007
    based on 30 ratings
     | 27,533 views

    Don’t Worry, its not what you think. The Biblical (KJV) word for donkey is often a synonym for a fool. But as we will find, Balaam’s talking donkey was more wise than he was, and wiser than some we may meet.

The story is told of a man who bought a beautiful, exotic, tropical parrot from a local pet store. The pet store owner said that the parrot could talk and after demonstrating a few sentences ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,510 views

    THis message will help us to think critically about marriage- why marriage is to be between one woman and one man, for a lifetime. As society’s definitions change, the Christian idea of marriage needs to be more definite than ever.

    “Mary and Joseph and the Case for Marriage” Matthew 1:18-25 One of my favorite radio programs, when I get the chance to listen to it, is the Prairie Home Companion, In one episode Garrison Keillor tells the fanciful tale of John Tollefson. John leaves Minnesota, moves to New ...read more
