     | 3,567 views

    This is a sample outline for a believer's funeral. Based on 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, the outline should provide a guide for those who are hurting to have hope and future happiness when we see Jesus!

The text is often used and known as “the Rapture passage” and has words of comfort and encouragement for those still living after their believing loved one has gone to be with the ...read more

    Deceptive Looks

    Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Apr 17, 2018
     | 5,863 views

    Jesus enters Jerusalem as the Messiah—King of the Jews. Kings hate other kings coming onto their turf. The king is crucified—a messenger of love and a victim of hate. In the process, what looks good turns out bad and what appears to be bad becomes good.

    INTRODUCTION There is a Chinese story of a farmer who used an old horse to till his fields. One day, the horse escaped into the hills and when the farmer's neighbors sympathized with the old man over his bad luck, the farmer replied, "Bad luck? Good luck? Who knows?" A week later, the horse ...read more

    “Lost people” have done a cost-benefits analysis and have determined that they do not get enough positive benefits from church participation to merit their continued involvement.

    MEMBERSHIP IS NOT AN OPTION Why do some people who have grown up in the church or having started out so well after being saved as adults run aground or drift away from the Lord?

    Dealing with the death of a loved one is not easy. But Jesus offers hope. He promises eternal life to those who believe in Him. And gives peace to those that mourn.

You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And ...read more
