     | 242 views

    The Church was never meant to be a museum of saints but a barracks for soldiers. We were not called to maintain comfort, status, or cultural approval—but to advance the Kingdom against the very gates of Hell.

    Matthew 16:18–19 (NKJV) “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on ...read more

     | 611 views

    The main idea is that hell is a real place, but we can avoid it by accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior, who offers us hope, rest, and peace for eternity.

    Today, we're going to talk about a pretty intense topic: hell. I know it's not something we usually chat about, but it's important to understand because Jesus talked about it a lot. In fact, He mentioned it over 70 times in the New Testament. So, let's dive into a story Jesus told about a rich man ...read more

    Christ builds His church and Satan cannot prevail because he does not have the right. The church has the authority to defeat Satan.

    Jesus said, "On this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it" (Matthew 16:18, NIV). In biblical times, city gates were fortified to protect against enemy armies. The gates were the only entrance to the city, and anyone who wanted to enter had to seek permission from ...read more

    At first blush, God’s wisdom seems so elementary, so foolish even. We as humans love to debate and create big complicated philosophies. Instead, the Apostle Paul shows us how to simplify our understanding to know the REAL wisdom of God.

    A few years ago I preached a message on hell. After the service I walked to the back of the church to shake hands with members of the congregation as they left the church. One lady said to me, “Reverend, I never knew what hell was really like until I heard you preach!” I wonder what she really ...read more

    John Lennon of the Beatles wrote a song and he encouraged us to imagine that there were no Heaven and no Hell. A world where we live as one. Is that possible? There’s one thing for sure though, Hell will be horrible!

    Introduction I. illus. I remember the crackling in his voice. The sense of loss and hopelessness in his words when he said over BBC radio, "John Lennon is dead..." I too felt strange. Was it true, one of the original Beatles dead, how? Shot! Then it dawned on me, John for the first time is ...read more
