    Do Children Who Die Go To Heaven?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 16, 2016
     | 4,672 views

    The recent growth in Calvinistic doctrine & teaching on original sin has reignited the debate on whether children are guilty of sin & where they go if they die. This looks at that & gives 5 reasons why I believe they go to heaven.

    DO CHILDREN WHO DIE GO TO HEAVEN? Mt. 19:14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. 2. Because of hectic schedules, it was ...read more

    Our Obligations In Christ

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016
     | 5,442 views

    I approached this text with fathers in mind, for a Father's Day message. Our society needs men who understand their spiritual obligations and are willing to invest in the lives of others.

    Our Obligations in Christ Philippians 2: 12-16 Today we celebrate Father’s Day and seek to honor those men who have made an impact in our lives, particularly our dads. I can honestly say that being a father is one of the greatest joys in life. I am thankful for the children God has blessed ...read more

    We talk, sing, and pray using the language of the Kingdom . . . words like Lord, King, and sovereign. However, citizenship in a democracy keeps us from understanding the throne.

    Game of Thrones

    Faith vs science

    A wife comes homes and catches her husband in bed with another woman.

    Motivated To Follow Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 2, 2016
     | 8,844 views

    Following his discourse on the obedience of Christ, and an admonition for the believer to possess the mind of Christ, Paul discusses what that looks like in a mature believer. This is humbling, and impossible within ourselves, but possible in Christ.

    Motivated to Follow Philippians 2: 12-18 One of the greatest means of motivation is a great illustration or example. Following the great discourse on the obedience of Christ, having provided the great example for believers to follow, Paul offers a discourse on our obligations to follow the example ...read more

    Praising God At The Dung Gate

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 26, 2018
     | 9,380 views

    Sometimes God allows us to experience bitter trials. The crowning grace is when we can praise God -- in spite of or even for -- the trial. That's what Nehemiah did when he went to praise God at the Dung Gate!

    PRAISING GOD AT THE DUNG GATE Neh. 12:27-43 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A kindly old preacher married a couple and as he did, told the groom, “Son, God bless you. You’re at the end of all your troubles.” 2. A year later, the groom returned and said, “What a year I’ve gone through! It was ...read more

    Matthew 16:13-20 What does this passage actually say and not say to us?

    Prelude, Purpose, Plan Protestants, Orthodox and Catholics largely agree on perhaps 95% of the most important teachings of Christianity. Why do we drift from the message that Jesus taught into partisanship and graceless rivalry? For instance, how do we deal with the claim by Rome of exclusive ...read more

    Contributed by Bruce Hadley on Aug 3, 2021
     | 5,219 views

    We are told to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. However, what do I have to do to work out my salvation? Are there certain steps I must take? Are there some specific criteria for me to work out my own salvation? These are all good questions.

    Phil 2:12-13: Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
