    Jesus Never Tapped Out

    Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Nov 19, 2012
    based on 24 ratings
     | 43,699 views

    Jesus never tapped. When someone taps out, they are surrendering to their opponent. They are throwing in the towel, they are giving up, they are quitting the fight. They are saying you win, its over, I’m done, it’s finished.

    Jesus Never Tapped Out (Note to Pastor’s I started this message with a video made in house of a 5 year old doing mixed martial arts type fighting with his father, it ended with the child putting his father in an arm bar, and the dad tapping out. I used this to explain what tap out means in the ...read more

    There was a common belief at the time of Jesus that the Messiah's kingdom would be a physical kingdom, and that it would include all of Israel (and no Gentiles). Is this belief true that was believed then and today?

    There was a common belief at the time of Jesus that the Messiah's kingdom would be a physical kingdom, and that it would include all of Israel (and no Gentiles). The disciples asked Jesus in Acts 1:6, "Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?" The disciples are showing in ...read more

    Proof That God Exists Series

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 25, 2013
     | 11,175 views

    The technical name for this proof is the 'Transcendental Proof for the Existence of God.' It shows that it is impossible for God not to exist because you cannot have objective truth, morality, knowledge, reason, or science w/o God.

    What would you say to me if I told you that I do not believe in “words.” More than likely you are thinking, “Are you kidding me? That is foolish. You don’t believe in words? Come on! That is ridiculous!” Everyone believes that words exist. It would be foolish to pull ...read more

     | 4,483 views

    How can we explain that some who even prophesy, cast out demons and do miracles in Jesus name will find out on Judgment Day that they have not done the will of God and are headed to hell?

    The Paradoxical Sayings of Jesus Jesus' Chilling Warning, Part II Matthew 7:13-28 As we attended Dallas Seminary in the 1980s, my brother-in-law was attending dental school in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at Oral Roberts University and lived in the student dorms there.

    A Funeral For A Dead Faith

     | 37,788 views

    No corpse can work his way into life. He just can’t do it. He is dead. He has got to receive the life before he works.

    The Christian life is just summed up in Grace but the devil doesn’t want you to know that. The devil doesn’t want you to believe that. What the devil wants to do is to try to mix together grace and works. And when we try to mix together grace and works, then grace is not grace at all. ...read more
