    A Sermon From Hell

    Contributed by Thomas Mccracken on Feb 14, 2012

     | 9,941 views

    Hell is a literal place that most preachers shy away from preaching in this current "seeker-sensitive" church culture of ours for fear of offending, and to ensure religious correctness and church growth. In our text we find a man preaching from Hell.

    A Sermon from Hell Luke 16:19-31 Introduction: On an airplane a pastor opened his Bible to the story of Jonah and began to study. The man sitting next to him glanced at this pastors reading selection and commented, “Surely you do not believe that a man was actually swallowed by a whale and ...read more

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 4, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,679 views

    What does it mean when Jesus says He is the Light of the World? He spoke to a culture thoroughly verse in the Old Covenant, and so to understand the significance of His words, we will need to explore what the people heard when He spoke.

    ”Again Jesus spoke to [the Jewish leaders], saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’ So the Pharisees said to him, ‘You are bearing witness about yourself; your testimony is not true.’ Jesus answered, ‘Even if I do bear ...read more

    If we're going to accomplish the mission Christ gave us of equipping people to follow Him in a hostile culture, then we need to commit ourselves fully to God, communicate that commitment, and count on God to accomplish His plan in the midst of our pain.

    Having spent much time dealing with the end times, Paul shifted his focus mid-way through the closing chapter. He sought to ensure the church developed and maintained a healthy culture in order to remain effective in the midst of trying times.

    The Heart of a Healthy Church 1 Thessalonians 5: 12-15 We are getting close to the conclusion of the first letter Paul wrote to the Thessalonian church.

    Wonderwoman isn’t the only female Superhero. We have many from our culture and from the Bible. Today, we’re going to look at one of them, Sarah, who laid a foundation for Judaism, Christianity and Islam

    Sarah Genesis 12:1-4 When I was growing up, there was really only one female superhero and it was Wonderwoman. She had it all: the rope of truth, the indestructible bracelet, a tiara which serves as a projectile, and of course, the invisible plane. I never really understood why you couldn't see ...read more

    If there one passage that defines this culture, it is Matthew 7:1-5. Since the Supreme Court legalized same sex marriage, this passage has been pushed to the forefront. This message examines what Jesus meant when he said, "Do not judge."

    A Fractured Fairy Tale Introduction When I was growing up, there was an older cartoon show that I enjoyed watching. It was the Rocky and Bullwinkle show.

    based on 12 ratings
     | 22,047 views

    Justification sounds like a $20 word that nobody would use outside of Church. But surprisingly the words justify and justification are interwoven into our culture and are used in ways that tell us a lot about what God did when He justified us.

    Beloved in Christ, we live in a time where the value of children is often misunderstood or minimized. Psalm 127:3 offers a divine perspective that stands in contrast to the cultural noise around us. It reminds us of a fundamental truth: Children are not burdens; they are blessings.

    The eerie spiritual fog has rolled in over the Western church and Christian culture, it has descended on us because, “There is no fear of God before people’s eyes today.” This created the right atmosphere for fog to roll in and engulf our nation.”

    Sermon 2: The Fog I have shared about being in the fog and the dangers of fog but we have compared natural fog to the eerie dense spiritual fog that has invaded the landscape of western culture and even churches in the last 50 years.

    Have the churches been faithful in relaying the gospel, or has Christianity become something infused into the culture without being a dynamic force? Wicked men flourish. In Judah the people were spiritually blind and deaf. We need to take note ourselves.
