    Lighting Up Hell On Earth Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 29, 2024
     | 1,284 views

    Unbelief is the one sin out of which all other sins grow. Unbelief is the one sin that will damn you and send you to hell. Not believing in the Son of God is self-condemnation.

    Love Takes Work

     | 1,831 views

    Love is something we have to work at. It doesn't just instantly happen. Love at first sight can often be cured with a second look! We are not meant to FALL in love with anyone. We are meant to GROW in love. Growing in love is like planting a garden, it takes a lot of hard work.

    The Bible is a book of signs and wonders. And when God did miracles through his son Jesus Christ here on earth, what it did was it made cynical people into saints. The doubters, who saw Lazarus come out of a grave, no longer doubted that Jesus Christ had the power over death. They just saw it and ...read more

    In this exposition of Hebrews 11:1-6, the nature of faith (v. 1), understanding by faith (v. 3), and essentials of faith (v. 6) are explored. "Without faith it is impossible to please God." Therefore, the subject is of supreme importance.

    We take our text today from Hebrews 11: the great faith chapter. We will begin by reading the first six verses. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. 3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by ...read more
