Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 18, 2021

This is a revision of a sermon I posted over a year ago on another website. The subject matter is more timely than ever considering the rapid descent into evil and chaos we have witnessed recently. Come quickly, Lord Jesus.

Pilate had to face the decision of what to do with Jesus. With sins dragging on him and forces of evil crying for Christ's blood, Pilate stood in the balance. Just then, his wife had a dream from God to warn him. We all are warned not to decide this wrongly.

The Peril Of False Prophets (Part 2)

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 20, 2022

The Peril of False Prophets (Part 2) Matthew 7: 15-20 In our last study we began to consider Jesus’ teaching concerning false prophets, those who come in among the church in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. I remain convinced that this passage needs to be preached and ...read more
