    Daniel's Vision Of World History Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 30, 2022
     | 2,470 views

    What we are about to see in the remainder of this vision is future prophecy that has not yet occurred. Beginning with verse 36, the king referred to in passage is the Antichrist who is to arise in the last days of human history.

    Last time we looked at the first part of the vision given to Daniel and saw that the events in the vision have now already occurred in history. We stopped at Daniel 11:35. There seems to be a definite break between verses 35 and 36. What we are about to see in the remainder of this vision is ...read more

     | 4,205 views

    In our passage today, Jesus illustrates the power and provision of prayer. But we'll see that it isn't always as simple as, 'ask and you shall receive'.

    Psalms 14 And 53 Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Feb 26, 2020
     | 6,167 views

    Psalms 14 and 53 are similar to each other, having only minor differences in the mode of expressing the same thoughts. This sermon studies the two passages in parallel, slightly enlarging the understanding of their combined content.

    For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more

    An Audience Of One Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 1, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,182 views

    This passage of Scripture teaches us that when we pray to the Lord, and even give monetarily, that it is to be done entirely for Him and not as a public display for others. Every act of worship is to be seen only by an audience of One.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “An Audience of One,” based on a song by Christian music artist Big Daddy Weave. Allow me to share some of the lyrics of this song: “I come on my knees, to lay down before You; bringing all that I am, longing only to know You. Seeking Your face, and not ...read more

    PRAYING SCRIPTURE To complete our study of the Beatitudes, we will now use this portion of Scripture as a template for prayer. Learning to pray Scripture will strengthen your prayer life significantly. Some of you may have already learned to use the Lord’s Prayer in this way. That is the most ...read more

    These addresses will examine what the Rapture is, the meaning of the word, the biblical passages pertaining to the rapture, and how history changed the teaching. The Rapture is the blessed hope (glorious hope) and Christians should rejoice in the teaching.

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,258 views

    The identity of the 144,000 survivors of tribulation is a mystery, It takes much courage to venture into areas where clarity is needed. This enigmatic passage is included in the Word, and to ignore it does not contribute to the full counsel of God.

    in Rev. 1:19, Jesus told John to write, what was, What is now, and what will happen later, chapters 4-22 are about what will happen later. Greek word for Revelation is Apokalypses, which means uncovering or revealing of events which will happen in the last days, and end times. I believe the ...read more
