The Book Of Revelation (Revelation 14)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 22, 2022

The last days of world history are going to be horrifying days. The dragon of the underworld, that old serpent who is called the devil and Satan will offer the world a utopia.

He is going to empower that man, the antichrist, to bring peace and prosperity to the earth, and Satan is going to build up all the hope that man has ever had and then destroy.

Stumbling Blocks Series

Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jul 6, 2022

The focus of this sermon is how the shift from the Old Testament Laws to the freedom made available through Jesus Christ became a stumbling block to the Jewish converts, and how "matters of opinion" can also become stumbling blocks to believers today.

If you want to follow along, the primary passage we will be looking at is Romans 14. We will be skipping around a little bit, but that is the area we will be in. The good news is that my sermon will probably be a little bit shorter than normal. The bad news is it might be very convicting for ...read more

Having just returned from a trip to Israel, this is the first of my talks about what I learned. Bethlehem is the place God chose for Jesus to be born... but why Bethlehem and what does the present day city tell us about our faith?
