Generational Curses

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Mar 1, 2005

Due to misinterpretations of God’s Word people have developed the concept of Generational Curses in order to try to blame God for their wrong doing. This lesson explains how Generational curses are not Biblical at all.

“Generational Curses” by Elder Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. One of the most misinterpreted scriptures of the Bible has caused much confusion for many years.

Are There Many Paths To God Or Is Jesus The Only Way? Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jan 13, 2013

In this sermon we learn why is it not arrogant or narrow-minded to say that Jesus is the only way to God. I borrowed a lot from Lee Strobel's sermon on this subject.

Introduction: A. The story is told of two rival rabbis who came face to face in a narrow alley way. 1. The alley was so narrow that it was impossible for the two to pass by each other. 2. The one rabbi, pulling himself up to his full height, said, “I never make way for arrogant, ...read more

This is lesson 2, in the sermon-series entitled: “He walked not uprightly.” This sermon deals with an important truth to be heard again by the church, and maybe for the first time the religious world.

The Gog/Magog Prophecy Revealed

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 14, 2022

Who is this Gog and Magog Ezekiel tells us about? And when will they invade Israel? The answer lies in Scripture. But we must be careful not to assume anything by our own understanding. We need God to show us the truth of this prophecy. Which I believe He has done today.

Ever since Russia made its invasion of the Ukraine, pastors, preachers and evangelists all over the world have been quick to get on their proverbial "soap box" and claim that this is the fulfillment of the prophecy found in Ezekiel 38. And for a time, I also believed this was the prophecy ...read more

Tickle My Ears, But Don’t Scratch My Heart

The Apostle foretells a day when Christians will deliberately turn their backs on sound doctrine, embracing error because it makes them comfortable and because the error is convenient.
