Crash And Burn

Contributed by Pat Cook on Jun 28, 2003

I looked at the Feb 2003 S.S.Columbia disaster for 2 thoughts: 1) where do we go when hard times hit and 2) what happens when Christians wipe out and give up in their faith?

Psalm 46:1-3 – Crash and Burn Yesterday was a sad day for the world. It was not a tragedy to the same scale as September 11, 2001. In fact, even normal plane crashes take more lives than the disaster yesterday. Yet there is something very sad of the explosion of the Space Shuttle Columbia ...read more

Where You Can Find Security Series

Contributed by Brian Atwood on Sep 15, 2003

The prophetic dream of Daniel in the 7th chapter of his book applied to our security in changing times.

In chapters 1-6 of his book Daniel revealed the past. In chapters 7-12 he reveals the future. Keep in mind that the future has already taken place in the mind of God since He is an eternal being. The basis of Bible prophecy is the fact that God has no future. The terms, "past", "present", and ...read more

Surely, Not I!

Contributed by Wann Fanwar on Sep 21, 2003

This sermon examines the betrayal of Jesus in Matthew 26 and proposes that there are different ways to betray Jesus. Perhaps the more incipient danger is the indifference of the eleven. The sermon also portrays the manner in which God handles human failur

God's 20/20 Foresight
