    It is worth it to live in Christ’s presence and live out His presence even if it means persecution.

    Scooter…Harley (both on stage). Many of us would like to believe that there is really little difference between a scooter and a Harley. Both of them are shiny, have wheels and handle bars. Both of them can be used for transportation. You can get somewhere on both of them. But let’s be honest. ...read more

     | 7,586 views

    This sermon is based on a study of several books by authors who hold to a variety of views on the doctrine of Hell. Please note that the format of this website does not enable me to include footnotes where they were originally placed in the sermon. Howe

    In contemporary Christianity, many questions have arisen as to the reality of hell. While the Bible teaches a literal view of an eternal hell, there has been a widespread embrace of anything but a literal view. There has been much speculation about what the Bible actually teaches about nature and ...read more

    God’s justice is more than fair, especially when it is stacked up next to his grace.

    GOD IS JUST! I recall playing basketball with my two nephews several years ago. We divided up into teams, the two of them against me. I did pretty well at first… and why not? I was almost twice the size of my nephews. After a little while, though, one of my nephews caught on. He began to make ...read more

    In the light of the Lord’s impending return, we’re to pray that our faith will grow and that our love will increase. Since those who don’t know God will be punished when Christ appears, we must avoid mediocre spirituality and apathetic prayers.

    Praying for the Right Things One of my favorite commercials is for a cell phone company in which cellular static has caused some confusion between a married couple. The wife had just asked her husband to bring home “a movie, something old.” The husband however, thought she said, “Bring home a ...read more

    Are you persecuted? If you seek to fit in with the world, probably not. But if you make a stand with Jesus - watch out!

    Today we begin the second letter to the Thessalonians. This letter was written just weeks after the first letter. In that letter, Paul wrote about Jesus’ return to encourage them and to answer two questions about it. 1. What will happen to those that die before Jesus returns? 2. When will Jesus ...read more
