    Why I Believe In The Pre-Tribulation Rapture Of The Church Series

    Contributed by Cris Willis on Dec 27, 2007
    based on 29 ratings
     | 7,510 views

    How will it end? Can we know? Yes, we can. The Bible gives a very clear, direct answer. The world as know it will end with the return of Jesus Christ. The history of the will climax in His literal, bodily return to the earth.

    Introduction: Scripture is neither vague nor equivocal on the promise of Christ’s return. A large proportion (as much as one-fifth) of Scripture is prophetic, and perhaps a third or more of the prophetic passages refer to the Second Coming of Christ or events related to it. It is a major theme of ...read more

    The sixth seal begins to demonstrate God’s direct intervention into world affairs. All of this is just part of God’s plan. The Lord is in the process of fixing what is wrong with our world as only He can do.

    Revelation 6:12-17; 13:1-10 Purpose: To describe Satan’s futile efforts to rule the world. Aim: I want the listener to wait confidently for Christ to return. INTRODUCTION: Up to now, the effects of the first five seals, although unparalleled in their impact on the world, could still be ...read more

    Our witness is compromised because we dash about with urgency but no direction. We have not yet gotten past our fear of embarrassment when sharing our witness, nor have we acknowledged the urgency of witnessing.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC January 12, 1986 It was the Mad Hatter, wasn't it, who in one version of “Alice in Wonderland” spent his energies darting around the scene, here and there, hither and thither, screaming at the top of his voice, "I'm late, I'm late, for a ...read more

    If you are willing to seek God to be the source for the direction in your life, He won't let you down. He will keep His promises to you and He takes each one of His promises very seriously!

    He's Preparing the Way! Ephesians 2:7-10 MSG 7-10 Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It’s God’s ...read more

    Jesus gives us: 1. a new desire (vs. 46-47). 2. a new determination (vs. 48). 3. a new dimension (vs. 49-52a). 4. a new direction (vs. 52b).

    Your unchurched, non believing friends and neighbors are thirsty for security regarding their eternal address. Leonard Sweet calls them “day trippers asking for direction…..scouting the horizon for hope, spiritual truth, our souls are thirsty.

    There were 2 ways from Egypt to Canaan: 1 straight & smooth direct to Canaan taking 4 or 5 days; the other was a crooked, winding, dry & difficult passage through the wilderness and that was the way God chose. Why?

    THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED Ex. 13:17-22 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. There have been a lot of changes since I was in college. Computers have advanced incredibly. 2.

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 11, 2018
     | 9,695 views

    Being saved by grace through faith in the finished work of Christ creates an eternal bond with the Gospel. As we grow and mature in the Lord, the Gospel continually shapes our lives. The life of every believer should be directed by the Gospel.

    The Bond with the Gospel Philippians 1: 27-30 For the past few weeks we have been considering the impact of the Gospel in our lives and the challenge of allowing the Gospel to be central in our lives. Clearly the Gospel brings about an immediate transformation, from the inside-out. 2 Cor.5:17 – ...read more

    When the Holy Spirit comes into our lives is there a radical change? Should there be a radical change? Is there a difference when the Holy Spirit infills and directs a church and when He does not? Let's see what the Bible says!

    If you would, please stand as we say together our memory Scripture for this quarter: Romans 12:4-5 “Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” ...read more

    Jesus chose you where you are. He walked past you, knowing that what makes you different will be used so that "God might be displayed in [you!]" Obedience to Jesus' directives is where seeing occurs.

    When I look at my life, there seems to be two components that stand out: What people see from me and what people perceive of me. Let me repeat that: What people see from me and what people perceive of me. The unfortunate thing is the “what people see from me” and the “what people perceive of ...read more

     | 4,131 views

    This message examines the third person of the unholy trinity, the false prophet. His job during the Tribulation is to direct the world to worship the beast, and he is given power to kill any who refuse to bow down and worship Satan.

    The False Prophet Revelation, Part 19, Revelation 13:11-12 Introduction Last time we concluded with the understanding of the religion of the beast -- Discussed how it will affect all nations in the world -- “Worship Satan or die” is the message given to all alive in this day -- ...read more

    For the disciples, prayer was a normal part of their spiritual lives and they knew that Jesus Christ could show them a better way. He could show them a direction in prayer that pleased God. What do we find in this prayer?

    Your World - Own It! Series

    Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on May 10, 2020
     | 3,024 views

    The garden was given to man as a ‘rectangle of control’; a world in which were rules, guidelines, and established systems. Man was placed there to ‘dress it’ and care for it. Man was given full and direct charge over that garden and EVERYTHING in it.

    To own something is to acknowledge it as belonging to one’s self; recognized as having full claim, authority, power, dominion… even to have or hold as one’s own; to possess. Now… how one came about the ownership does not change the ownership, itself. Don’t let the two intertwine, for now. The ...read more

    I Thee Wed: Jesus' Teaching On Marriage And Divorce Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 16, 2021
     | 1,877 views

    Jesus taught that marriage is a sacred and serious undertaking by any man and woman who want to unite as one under the protection and direction of the LORD. We tend to make it less than God's ideal for us.

    What I am writing down here is the product of a message I originally presented to a group of men and women during a chapel service at our local rescue mission. The topic of marriage was probably not on their list of favorites for the fact that many of them had left abusive and toxic ...read more
