Urgency Of The Gospel

Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 26, 2017

Message focuses on the Great White Throne Judgement of unbelievers, emphasizing the seriousness of passing into eternity without Christ. Unbelievers should be alerted to these realities, and believers should be equipped and motivated to share the gospel.

Rev. 20:11-15 5.31.15 Last week we talked about what the Gospel is and the importance of that message. Today I want to take as our subject, the Urgency of the Gospel. I want to use a passage in Revelation 20 to impress this upon our minds. Come with me to the last great event of human history. ...read more

The Ongoing Revelation Of God Or Growing In His Knowledge

Contributed by Mike Hullah on Mar 11, 2018

Revelation and relationship is a result of growing in the knowledge of God. This sermon looks at Abraham as a model of intimacy with God.

Feeding On Christ

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 13, 2019

What does it mean to feed on Christ? Why doesn't everyone respond positively to the gospel?

Today’s passage is challenging. The passage is difficult in two ways; first, it is difficult to understand, as it requires unpacking a figure of speech, a metaphor. What does it mean, really, to “eat the flesh” and “drink the blood” of Christ? So it’s difficult to understand. And perhaps more ...read more
