Demons Never Beat On Jesus

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Aug 21, 2021

Bad theology is still bad even if it makes "great evangelistic" preaching.

Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. I do not know where this heresy about Jesus going to Hell started, but it is clearly wrong.

Certainly, any book begins with the first chapter and that is certainly the ...read more

It’s Friday, But Sunday’s Coming!

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 21, 2019

I took S.M. Lockridge’s message, probably preached 70 years ago, and adapted it by making it into rhyming verse which increases it's power. You can add this at the end of your next Easter message for a powerful ending.

A. IT’S FRIDAY, BUT SUNDAY’S COMING 1. It’s Friday! Jesus is praying, Peter’s straying, Judas is betraying -- But Sunday’s comin.’ 2. It’s Friday. Pilate is judging, the council is fudging, the crowd’s are shouting, the disciples are pouting. Mary is crying & Peter’s denying. But they don’t ...read more

Hippology Series

Contributed by Jonathan Campbell on Nov 19, 2007

Song Of Solomon - Chapter 3 – The Bride's Dream Series

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Sep 28, 2024

The young Bride experiences Divine discipline. The Beloved withholds His presence from her because He wants her to discover that the only safe place in all the world is in rising up in partnership with Him. He holds out until we come to Him in obedience.
