  • Funeral - Certain Vs Uncertain

    Contributed on Apr 4, 2026
     | 101 views

    Somethings are certain in this life and in the life beyond. Somethings are uncertain in this life but not in the life beyond.

    Let me read for you II Samuel 12:14-23 “Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die. And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto ...read more

    Jonah received a Word from the Lord for the sinful population in Niveneh. Jonah was tasked to warn them and call them to the Lord. We have received a Word from the Lord for the sinful population of Planet Earth. We are tasked to warn them and call them to the Lord. WILL WE REFUSE... or OBEY?

    The Star of Christmas is not the star that led the Maji from Mesopotamia to Jerusalem and ultimately to Bethlehem. It's not the star on the top of our Christmas tree, not Santa Claus, not our good feelings, good will, gifts, hopes for peace, celebrations or any of the rest.

    SLIDE – Introduction I want to talk a little while this morning about the Star of Christmas. Now, I’m NOT talking about the Star that appeared to the Maji. That Star they led from Mesopotamia over to Jerusalem. That Star that King Herod couldn’t see and didn’t know about. So, Herod called ...read more
