    A sermon that can also be used as a marriage or relationship seminar. Ephesians 5:22-30

    Have you noticed that, as much as couples seem to ’get along’, they also spend just as much time ’not’ getting along? Statistics show that in the late 1800’s, only one out of every 34 marriages ended in divorce. By the mid 1900’s, one out of every 7 marriages ended in divorce, and through ...read more

    A message showing that we have the same attitudes that the Israelites had while traveling in the desert with Moses.

    How many times have we gone to God and asked Him for things we wanted or needed? The Israelites had been slaves in Egypt for 400 years and were brutalized, beaten, and killed. Many of them had asked God to help them get out of that mess, but it was not until the entire nation of Israelites ...read more

    To fear the Lord is to hate evil. Maybe we have sin in our lives because .....

    We Christians try so hard to live a good and pure life for God, don’t we? But we are all-too-often beleaguered down with the burden of sin. It seems that the harder we try, the worse we get. And so, we must ask the question, “Why do we have sin in our lives?” PROVERBS 8:13 might give us a ...read more

    We study what the real truth is, as found in John 17:17

    JOHN 17:17 “Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.” The word “truth” in this verse comes from the Greek word “aletheia” which means “factual”, “a reality” or “real.” And we understand that God’s Word is a reality. But another English equivalent is the word "genuine" - God’s Word is ...read more

    A recap of the teaching already given on Revelation, chapters 1 through 6.

    In Daniel 12:4, the prophet is commanded by the angel-interpreter: “Close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end.” Directly contrasting that, John, the writer of Revelation, is commanded by an angel: “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of the book, because the time ...read more

    I remember when I was in the seventh grade; I was the new kid in school and had the great misfortune of standing up against the school bully. To make a long story short, and because I actually had the audacity of arguing with him in front of his friends, he began to hit me. I saw the fist ...read more

    We draw similarities between the peoples of Noah’s time, Lot’s time, and our time. In each step of their growth, the societies mirror one another- even until the end.

    I have a photograph, taken of my paternal grandfather. It was taken around 1910, when he was 28. I put that photograph next to a photo of me that was taken in 1977, when I was 30. The poses were just about the same. Surprisingly, the only real different between the two photos is he was ...read more

    based on 15 ratings
     | 10,443 views

    A contemporary study on Revelation, chapter 9

    The book of REVELATION is an odd book when compared to the rest of the Bible. It is a warning for everyone, even though some will not be here to see these warnings unfold.

    This is the 5th message in our walk through Revelation. Here, we are offering an understanding of chapter 10 and the mighty angel and the little scroll.

    In studying the book of Revelation, we find that the first nine chapters bring us almost to the middle of the Revelation, or to the 50-yard line. And now, it is time for mankind to receive a message from a “mighty” angel. That message is described as something sweet to the mouth but bitter to ...read more
