    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Mar 16, 2006
    based on 45 ratings
     | 17,632 views

    Had the church been built upon any other person than Christ, it would never be able to withstand the torment of Hades. It is not one of the wonders of this world - it is THE wonder of this world.

    A huge metal structure was built in 1889 for an international exposition. It was larger than anything that was built like it before, and it was considered by many as a ‘monstrosity that was to grotesque to see.’ But the creator, who had spent over a year building it, knew it was destined for ...read more

    You can never spot a counterfeit dollar if you don’t know what a real one looks like. And you will never be able to spot the false teachers if you do not know the real Teacher.

    Yogi Berra, the great legend of baseball was known for his confusing sayings. Things like; “This is deja-vu, all over again!”, or “You can observe a lot just by watching.” My favorite was, “Baseball is 90% mental, and the other half is physical.” Mr. Berra should have been known as Mr. ...read more

    based on 61 ratings
     | 15,408 views

    A message for believers & seekers alike, regarding how Jesus stands at the door and knocks. The seeker should feel drawn towards Jesus, and the beliver might feel a little ashamed at how we treat Jesus.

This is our main text for this message. ‘To the angel of the church in Laodicea, write: ‘These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation.

    based on 44 ratings
     | 22,855 views

    We see the miracles. We may have even experienced a miracle. Yet we still turn a blind eye and tend to reject Him. Malchus felt the touch of Jesus, yet still arrested Him.

    There is a stack of rocks about eight feet tall on the outskirts of a small Georgia town. It has been there for well over a hundred years and everyone knows by the way it was stacked, it is probably a monument of some kind. But, the exact reason for this monument has been kept silent for so ...read more

    Jesus wore the crown of diety and because of that, He was put on the cross. But what most have never realized is that He was also guilty. Let’s see what He was guilty of .....

    I am going to talk tonight about the Jesus’ crown, Jesus’ cross, and the Jesus’ guilt. I will show you a crown you have not noticed; I will talk about a cross in a light you have never seen it before; and I will prove to you that Jesus was, in fact, guilty. 1.

    When we are standing before the throne on Judgment Day, perhaps one of the scariest words we will ever hear is, "NEXT!"

    Every Sunday evening, after I get home from church, I start trying to think about what to preach about the next Sunday. I go through many possibilities, and then it happens – every week the same thing. Come Monday afternoon I have one thought in my mind that just won’t go away, and after ...read more

    77 words of distress being called out from hell, but nobody can help. LUKE 16:19-31.

    There was a movie in recent months about a man who was talking on a short wave radio and ended up talking to his father who had died many years before. Now, that is what I call imagination. But, for the sake of tonight’s message, I want you to imagine something, too. I want you to imagine that ...read more

    based on 83 ratings
     | 21,578 views

    What was God looking for when He called Noah? He was not looking for perfection, intelligence, or strength; He was looking for faithfulness. And in being faithful, Noah found that one person can make a difference.

    As you look around at the world in which we live, it is easy to see lots of problems. There is corruption in the government, obvious moral decline, and an almost total disregard for others. We see a growing lack of respect in our youth toward their elders, and this is encouraged in most of the ...read more

    Personal testimonies; showing we never know when, so it would behoove us to get right - right now! Sunday evening service that proved to be very powerful within the congregation!

    We have all heard many people in our lives give their personal testimonies. Some were delivered out of a life of drugs; some out of the occult; some out of lust; and yet others right out of the gates of hell themselves. Tonight, we are going to be talking a lot about these testimonies. You will ...read more

    based on 88 ratings
     | 23,017 views

    Too many church goers think they are Christians because they do not know the real definition of the word "Christian".

    We were created by God to worship Him. That is our purpose. God’s plan is for us to worship Him. But, there is something else we are supposed to do, too. We are supposed to be like Christ. If you would take a random poll and ask people in America what they think being a Christian means, most ...read more
