    Resurrection Deception

    Contributed by Robert Sickler on Jan 9, 2015
     | 3,829 views

    It is very difficult to recognize that which we are convinced cannot exist in our life time. This then is the point; the rapture is real but pre-tribulation-rapture doctrine has a very high potential for supporting Satan’s deception, which masks the coming of the antichrist.

    RESURRECTION DECEPTION SNAKE OIL There has always been someone who was willing to sell worthless crap to those gullible enough to buy it, and this is also true for Christians. Christendom is over flowing with those who are simple enough to buy almost anything the snake-oil-doctrine purveyors are ...read more

    Jesus continues to call His Disciples and they reveal that He is the Son of God and Son of Man, King of Israel, and their "rabbi".

    Love Conquers All

     | 37,590 views

    Paul describes what love is, what love is not, and what love can do in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

    Love Conquers All Introduction: Perhaps you've seen this Peanuts cartoon: Linus announces to his cranky sister, Lucy, that he's going to be a doctor. "You, a doctor?" she asks. "How can you be a doctor? You don't love mankind." Linus replies, "I do too love mankind. It's people I can't stand." ...read more

    Children Of Light Series

    Contributed by Scott Spencer on Feb 14, 2015
     | 7,816 views

    Christianity, unlike a political or social philosophy, should make a difference. In Christianity, we are made new people. Repentance and faith turn us around. We are set in a new direction, and our lifestyle should reflect that new direction. Does yours?

    Ephesians: Our Identity In Christ~Part 19 Children of Light Ephesians 5:3-14 3. But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints; 4. and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of ...read more

    Message for the first Sunday of the New Year. Can we live like we want then make it all up to god on Sunday? Will God accept our worship if our lives are full of sin?

    In this, the first Sunday of the new year, this message is about putting first things first. Too often we get wrapped up in non-essentials and we put the cart before the house, we major on the minors, rather than major on the majors. Read Micah 6:1–8 Naples, Italy, is a city on the verge of ...read more

    Prayer is a two way street Illus. By Fred Markes?

    We have a responsibility as a believer to share our faith and experiences of God. We are to be disciples to those we live around, work around and have relations with. We are to be the light to a darkened world.

    Winning the Lost Jude Scripture Introduction- Good Morning, I want to speak to you about winning the lost to Christ – You know that is for each one of our responsibility of those who profess Christ.

     | 12,736 views

    Jude warns us from false teachings, but in the final two verses of this little letter, Jude gives a doxology that states our security in Jesus.

    Something I seldom do and that is switch to another translation of the Bible. This morning I will be using the English Standard Version rather than the New King James Version for our text of Jude 24-25 because of the differences between the different versions based on different Greek manuscripts. ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,817 views

    This isn't the first time a "stay at home" order's ever been issued -- Jesus issued one! The man wasn't excited about it, but he learned that there were "silver linings" in what looked like a dull assignment and because of his obedience, he changed history!

    JESUS’ “STAY AT HOME” ORDER Mark 5:2-20 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Clara Null said it was one of the worst days of her life. Her washing machine line broke and flooded her house, her baby-sitter called in sick so she had to cancel her hair appt, and she got a bill in the mail that she couldn’t ...read more

    Thanksgiving At Christmas Series

    Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Dec 2, 2019
     | 6,617 views

    Thanksgiving and Christmas go together because we all want to "thank God for His indescribable gift" of Jesus and His salvation." (2 Corinthians 9:15)

    THANKSGIVING AT CHRISTMAS “Thanks be to God for His inexpressible gift.” 2 Corinthians 9:15 What Paul is sayIng here is that he cannot find the words to express how grateful he is for all that God did for him and the whole world when He sent His Son to be our Savior.

    This message addresses the "Sufficiency of Scripture."

    I’ve been looking over my sermons for the past 9½ years and I seen that every year I have peached some sort of message or group of messages centered on the Word of God, emphasizing our need to read, study, memorize, meditate upon the Word of Scripture continually. I have over and over again ...read more

    Parables are illustrations that compare something earthly with something that is spiritual.

    The PARABLE OF THE MUSTARD SEED is mentioned three times. We find it in: • Matthew 13:31-35 • Mark 4:30-32 • Luke 13:18 The Lord must have considered this parable to be important to allow it to be mentioned three different times in the Scriptures. We want to look at Matt. 13:31-35, we read, ...read more
