    A sermon about the Second coming and Resurrection to clear up misconceptions for those who are confused.

    A young woman teacher with obvious liberal tendencies explains to her class of small children that she is an atheist. She asks her class if they are atheists too. Not really knowing what atheism is but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like fleshy fireworks. ...read more

    A Funeral Sermon for a member of the church who died of cancer. When a Christian dies, God would have us understand that there is a right kind of learning, a right kind of grieving, and an right kind of believing.

    Let’s read Paul’s words from 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Today, God would have us understand three things: 1. There is a right kind of learning A. When we see our loved ones die, we must not be uninformed. The King James Version says we must not be ignorant. WE HAVE HOPE! B. Because Don ...read more

    The subject is the return of Jesus Christ to earth and the resurrection of the dead. I get more questions asked about this passage than most any other passage in the Bible. So I thought we would spend about three sessions talking about this passage. Thi

    1 Thess. 4:13 through 5:3 is a passage about a subject that intrigues people. The subject is the return of Jesus Christ to earth and the resurrection of the dead.

    There are six things I want to point out about these 3 verses. The events of the Lord’s return and of the resurrection are clearly spelled out in these verses.

    Last Wednesday in 1 Thess. 4: 13-15, Paul told us he didn’t want us to be ignorant about those who have fallen asleep. He basically told us that it was OK to grieve over the loss of our loved ones, but he said not to grieve as one who has no hope. He assured us that our loved ones who have died ...read more

    "End Of Times" What I Believe And Why. Part 1 "The Rapture" Series

    Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Jul 26, 2011
     | 3,767 views

    The Rapture is the next thing that will happen according to the Bible. When will it happen-What is it-Why will it happen?

    Harold Camping I'm sure has done a lot of things in his 89 years on this Earth. Things that I know of he has done: he has proved that he is a false prophet by predicting the rapture in 1994, he has misrepresented God's word, he has caused thousands to follow his twisted interpretation of the Bible ...read more

    Is it broken? No, come to think of it, it rang at lunch. Maybe you missed it because your teacher was busy scolding Jimmy for chewing gum.

    Paul writes to encourage these new believers that Jesus was coming back for those who were trusting in Him, and for those who had died trusting in Him. They did not need to have hopeless sorrow over their departed loved ones who died knowing Jesus

    Encouraging Words for Troubled Times 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Intro: To the average person you might meet downtown or on the street, the idea that Jesus is coming back for all who believe in Him is a crazy one!
