    "Finding Balance"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Sep 9, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,868 views

    What does this passage say to us as his disciples now living 2000 years later? This is what this passage tells us.  Spiritual growth was not only a priority in the life of Jesus, it was everything.  Jesus taught us how to live a balanced life

    “Finding Balance” Luke 2:41-52 When we look at the life of Jesus and what the Bible tells us about Him we quickly notice that the majority of what we know is from his adult life…those 3.5 years He spent in ministry. There is of course the story of his birth. Also in the gospel ...read more

    This week we’ll discuss exegetical issues and the context of the last sentence (vv. 20-21), then next week we’ll observe this very disturbing response of the world to the suffering torment created as God’s judgment is poured out on the earth-unrepentance.

    Revelation 9 The Destroyer, the Army, and the Rebel: (The Bad, the Worse, and the Ugly) This morning I wanted to focus on the last sentence of this chapter: The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping ...read more

    Don’t Look Back!

    Why should Christians remember Lot’s wife? Just like Sodom and Gomorrah, before Christ’s return, the world will be saturated with evil. Christians are warned to come out of the world and not be a part of it.

Why is it, then, that a Christian who accepts what God says in the Bible about hell and tries to warn people is ridiculed as an ...read more

     | 8,021 views

    In common usage, Hell designates the place of future punishment for the wicked. Satan hates the doctrine of an eternal hell. As a result, many groups today (some supposedly evangelical) either deny the existence of hell or make it a place of annihilatio
