    To be absent from body is to be present with Christ

    2nd Corinthians 5:8 ‘Prefer to be absent from body and present with Christ’. We live in temporary temples – Bodies wear out; time is limited. When we are absent from the body, we are present with the Lord. No Christian ever attends his/her own funeral They are immediately present in the presence ...read more

    Why Seek The Living Among The Dead?

     | 16,110 views

    That penetrating question of the angels to the women on resurrection morning leads to such great assurance that indeed we serve a risen Savior, that the grave is not our final destination and that we do find life when we look where it is found.

    Why Seek the Living Among the Dead? Luke 24:5 Scripture Reading: Luke 23:50 – 24:12 It was completely logical for the women to go to Jesus’ tomb early that Sunday morning. They went to do the final thing they could for him and it was reasonable they’d expect to find his body there. Where else ...read more

    Did you ever think about the implications if the resurrection of Christ never happened?

    WHAT IF THE RESURRECTION DIDN’T HAPPEN 1 CORINTHIANS 15:12–19 BUT IF IT IS PREACHED THAT CHRIST HAS BEEN RAISED FROM THE DEAD, HOW CAN SOME OF YOU SAY THAT THERE IS NO RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD? 13IF THERE IS NO RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD, THEN NOT EVEN CHRIST HAS BEEN RAISED. 14AND IF CHRIST HAS NOT ...read more

    Sardis: Socially Active But Spiritually Dead

    Sardis was the fifth church Jesus addressed in the Revelation. While the letter was shorter than the others, this one was the most severe. Apparently, Sardis has assimilated into the culture - with little difference known between the church and the world.

    Sardis: Socially Active but Spiritually Dead Revelation 3: 1-6 As we continue to examine the churches to whom John sent letters, we come to the fifth – the church at Sardis. Of the seven, the message to Sardis was the most severe. They were content to rely on prior works and a reputation from the ...read more

    Too many Christians settle for being forgiven and fail to recognize that dead sinners do not disobey God. We can live in obedience because we are alive to God and dead to sin.

    My purpose is to be the Holy Spirit’s second witness calling God’s people in my care to surrender their lives to Jesus and to live in obedience to him. Response Goal: Individuals prompted by the Holy Spirit will surrender their lives to God in prayer – at the altar rail if they want to prayer ...read more

    THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST IS ESSENTIAL FOR SALVATION TO BE AVAILABLE TO HUMANITY. BY JESUS CHRIST’S DEATH AND RESURRECTION GOD HAS SOLVED HUMANITY’S SIN PROBLEM AND HAS CREATED AN OPPORTUNITY FOR GUILTY HUMANITY TO STAND BEFORE HIM AND BE JUSTIFIED..

    WHY WAS JESUS RAISED FROM THE DEAD MATTHEW 28:1-8 THROUGHOUT HISTORY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO EXPLAIN THE MYSTERY AND MEANING OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST.

    Proving Jesus Arose From The Dead

     | 3,502 views

    Christianity is based and grounded in the Resurrection of Jesus, the promised Messiah of Israel. Every Born-Again Christian should be able to defend this foundational truth.

    Christianity proclaims that Jesus rose from the dead and hangs its entire existence on that fact. Yet, there is no practical certainty of it because actual eyewitnesses cannot be questioned due to them being dead! However, a logical case can be made on the certainty of historical evidence. The ...read more

    Pastor Darrin Hunt, of Susquehanna Valley Bible Church in Selinsgrove, PA, tells a story about three buddies who were discussing death, and one of them asked the group; ‘What would you like people to say about you at your funeral?’ His own answer was, “He was a great humanitarian, who cared ...read more
