     | 4,368 views

    Sometimes we see Christ as a street beggar, if we throw him some change, we expect him to rejoice. But Christ is not begging, he is giving a choice. Take me or leave me, it is up to you.

     | 6,546 views

    Most people believe in existence beyond the grave, with the majority assuming everyone will eventually wind up in heaven, or some place of euphoric bliss. Heaven is reserved for the saved, but hell will be a reality for those apart from Christ.

    An Honest Word about a Horrific Place Mark 9: 42-50 As I studied this passage, I was reminded of the common attitude that permeates modern society. We live in an age when most believe that truth is relative, rather than absolute. Most believe in existence beyond the grave, with the majority ...read more

    Jesus’ captors tied Him up and led Him from the Garden of Gethsemane to the palace of the high priest, Caiaphas. Some Bible scholars believe that Christ was led by a chain that was placed around His neck.

    HARMONY OF THE GOSPELS (28) Peter’s Triple Denial Scripture: Matthew 26:58, 69-75; Mark 14:54, 66-72; Luke 22:54-62 (focal passage); John 18:15-18, 25-27 Tom Lowe 2/3/2008 We have here the sad story of Peter’s denying his Master, at the time when He was arraigned before the high priest.

    This sermon explores why God gives us gifts and how we should perceive them in our lives

    As a child I loved Christmas and I loved birthdays, and not just my own birthday because there were plenty of gifts around. Gifts are an important part of life.

    True Repentance

     | 6,153 views

    Backsliding itself is of course horrendous. But it gets doubly shameful and we’ll end up dishonoring God even more when we repent without fully knowing exactly how we have offended God.

    Seeing and hearing the reactions of different people in the midst of the recent calamities in the world, I find myself grieving because most of us, even the supposedly veteran believers, do not fully understand and recognize God’s clear message behind the events. We just hear and do what we like to ...read more
