    Hell is a real place of real suffering that we should want every person to avoid

    Keith Green had a song. It’s the devil’s words: Well I'm gaining power by the hour They're falling by the score You know, it's getting very easy now Since no one believes in me anymore I’m afraid that’s where a lot of people are where hell’s concerned. Our concept ...read more

    So what happened with Adam and Eve in the Garden?

    1. Imagine a time when sin doesn’t exist. Wouldn’t that be great! • A time really, of perfection and beauty. • No sin. No sinful nature directing to sin. No flesh/spirit struggle. • Everything is just perfect, exactly as it was meant to be! • Immediately we think forward don’t we? 1 John 3:1-2 ...read more

    God calls his church to broadcast his warnings loud and clear in today’s world. He wants our hearts to be broken by the careless, godless people who are paying no attention to God’s warning signs and he wants us to take seriously our responsibility to do

    A man living on the first-floor of an apartment got upset every night because the guy living above him dropped his shoes on the floor when he got ready for bed. Every night, the same thing happened. First, the noise from one shoe, then the noise from the other. Finally, the man downstairs ...read more

    Penitence And Repentance

    Confession is the act of inviting God to walk the acreage of our hearts and clear our hearts of anything that hinders our relationship with him. Once he has done this, we can come before him with thankful hearts.

    How many of you have ever had a spotlight shined directly on you? Was it a comfortable experience? In 1 John 1:5-10 God is described as light, and sometimes that light is very uncomfortable when it’s shined on us. God is infinitely holy, utterly righteous and morally pure. He shines his light ...read more

    Demonstrating through the story of Babel how to avoid unhealthy pride and fear by trusting God.

    COME, LET US……. Genesis 11:1-9 Read all of Genesis 11:1-9. Today’s message addresses human pride, fear, and sin. Very apparent to us at this point: It is a message of judgment; but upon closer examination of its context, we also find a message of grace. When a televised baseball game ...read more

    Staying Pure In Heart

    In our world today, many are doubting God and turning away from Him. So how can we strengthen our faith and remain faithful? We only need to remember that Christ will one day return and rid this world of all sin, immorality, and suffering.

    I want you to think about your spiritual life for a moment. How would you rank your spiritual life? Is it backsliding? Is it stagnant? Or is it growing? We're going to again use the Book of Revelation and a letter that Jesus wrote to the church in Thyatira to examine our own spiritual ...read more

    Road Signs Of Danger

     | 5,248 views

    Most of my preaching has to deal with what the scriptures tell us to do to DRAW NIGH TO GOD. But sometime it is important that God’s preachers preach on the warning of drifting from God. Leaving the Lord is not usually a thing one does overnight. It is a slow process.

    I have called this sermon “ROAD SIGNS OF DANGER”, because the Christian life is similar to traveling down a road. Illus: Have you ever traveled down a road and you came to a road sign that indicated that a curve was ahead? Once you got to the curve, it was so sharp that you could almost see your ...read more

    What Is True Love?

     | 307 views

    What is true love? How do you know if you have found it? In this message, we're going to explore Scripture to find the answers we need to know the love we have is the love meant for us.

    There’s a lot of so-called love in our world today that is not really love but is instead based on selfishness and even lust. Many couples marry to satisfy their own selfish needs, realizing later that it doesn’t work. There IS such a thing as true love, which is a selfless love. This is the ...read more

    Most religions teach, along with the Bible, that God hates and despises the iniquity of sin and holds every individual responsible for their sin

    Part 1 INTRODUCTION It is the amazing and profound love of God that is the most powerful force in the Cosmos and the reason people exist. The Bible declares that God is love and is infinitely loving and just (1 John 4:8-10). It is because of His love He must deal with sin, which is the breaking ...read more

    On the cross Jesus saved us from our sins, from slavery, from oppression and conformity to this world; He saved us from spiritual death, but most of all He saved us from the wrath of God.
