Hell Series

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Jun 11, 2020

What is hell? a) punishment, b) separation from God, c) ruled by evil. Why would God send people to hell? What should we respond to the reality of hell?

HELL—Matthew 25:31-46 Last week, we talked about heaven, and this week, we talk about hell. Why talk about hell? It is not something we talk about with strangers, or even casual acquaintances. Some people—even people we know well—might consider it taboo, worse than talking about politics or ...read more

Contributed by David Owens on Jun 29, 2020

One day a defendant stood before the judge and the judge announced, “Tell me, sir, do you have anything to offer this court before it passes sentence?” a.

How To Deal With A Bad Attitude

Contributed by Charles Wall, Jr. on Nov 12, 2020

How often have you heard someone say, “I’m just in a bad mood today”? How often have you said it?

How often have you heard someone say, “I’m just in a bad mood today”? How often have you said it? And would you not agree that part of the unspoken implication in that statement is: “I am therefore excused from any responsibility for anything that I might say or do while in this mood?” Is that ...read more

The Judgement Seat Of Christ

Contributed by Michael Grant on Nov 20, 2020

When Jesus returns to establish His Kingdom, He will first judge the works of believers where some will receive rewards while others suffer loss.

Once again open in your Bibles to 2 Corinthians chapter 5 and the subject that we are going to be looking at this morning is the judgement seat of Christ or as it is called in Greek, the Bema which refers to a raised platform. You think of a court room, where the judge sits on a chair that is ...read more

The Believer’s Judgement Part 2

Contributed by Grant Adams on Dec 22, 2020

I want to approach this message concerning the believer’s judgement with several questions. Let me say, it will be our works, the deeds done in the body, not a judgement of self.

I. When is the Believer’s Judgement? 1. When does it take place? 2. From the time of the rapture, until the new Heaven and new Earth. Explain the events, use book. When will it take place? a. I believe there will be two phases to Christ’s second coming. Revelation 22:12 b. The rapture of the ...read more

"i Will Be Diligent: Part 2" Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 23, 2020

The man of God is to not follow trends, fads, feelings, what people would like to hear, or preach messages that make them feel "good", but instead preach the Gospel without compromise or apology and to stay committed no matter what happens.

The previous message based on 2 Timothy began with the definition of diligence. It means being constant in your efforts, finish what you started, stay committed to the task and not quit or become distracted. Preparation and thought are a part of this process. Never start anything without going ...read more

The Second Body Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

Everything made by man is doomed. Only the God-made body, and the God-redeemed world can be the focus of the Christian hope. That is why Paul groaned and longed to be clothed with the heavenly body God had for him.

Most of us could tell true stories of our forgetfulness that allowed us to put a book, a casserole, or some other object on the top of our car, and then get in and drive off. Some of these stories will have sadder endings than others, but it is not likely any of our stories could match that of ...read more

A Heavenly Habitation Series

Life After Death: Law, Eternity, And The Changed Mind

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021

There are two pieces, at least two parts of the human experience that every human will partake of: being born, and dying. That's right. The death rate for humans is 100%. I don't think people like to be reminded of that. It's a shocking thing to consider in fact.

God's Power Toward Us Who Believe

Contributed by Mike Bryant on Mar 3, 2021

Man has always sought unlimited power. God has given believers just that. What is this power that God has given us, and how do we avoid squandering it?

I) The search for unlimited power has been constant theme of history. A) Politically, we see this in attempts throughout history to rule the world. For example, Alexander the Great ruled Greece at the age of sixteen and soon set out on a conquest that saw him ruling most of the known Western ...read more
