Peace Of God--God Of Peace Series

Contributed by Rob Watts on Feb 27, 2024

We all want peace. It used to be a running joke that when the ladies of the Miss America Pageant were interviewed they were asked what they longed for they answered, "World Peace." Well, I think we all wish for world peace.

Parables Of The Kingdom – The Third - The Mustard Seed - Part 3 Of 4 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 15, 2025

We have seen how the parable of the mustard seed matches to church at Pergamum, and in this study today we look into that letter John wrote. In that church God wanted overcomers. We’ll consider the Nicolaitans, the hidden manna, the white stone with the new name.

PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE THIRD - THE MUSTARD SEED - PART 3 of 4 In the second Part we focused on Constantine who married the church to the State with his Babylonian paganism. The church was weakened after that point as it embraced these evil doctrines of the birds of the air. The mustard ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 28, 2025

How well do you listen? How should Christians listen? This message is about a listening discipline, and we need to discipline ourselves in how to listen. Lots of points from life’s observations are shared here. Allied to listening are attitudes of hearing.

3. THOUGHTS IN 2 PETER - NUMBER THREE - A LISTENING DISCIPLINE - 2 Peter 1:18 “Didn’t you hear what I said?” “Weren’t you listening!” “Pay attention!” - a favourite of teachers.

Contributed by Ron Freeman, Evangelist on Oct 24, 2020

To prove Christ never promised: the rapture, 7-years of tribulation, and 1000-year reign, at His Second Advent. This doctrine is all religious nonsense, conceived by misinterpretation of keys, symbols, and prophecies: in the Old Testament and the Book of Revelation.

A Square Inch Of Hell Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 7, 2022

Why did Jesus talk so much about hell? It's not a real popular topic even today and its hard to think it would have been then. What possible reason would Jesus have for stressing it during His ministry?

OPEN: There’s a small town in Michigan, about 60 miles west of Detroit. It’s a small community of about 80 people, and the name of this little town is (pause) Hell... Hell, Michigan. It always seems to make the news during the winter time, when newspapers joke about HELL FREEZING OVER. They ...read more

A New Creation . . . A New Beginning

Contributed by Charles Lane Iii on Mar 5, 2004

We’ve all needed a second chance at one time or another. Truth is that many of us have also "blown our second chance" and maybe have despaired that it was our last chance. Well, God goes beyond the second chance to the new beginning!

A NEW BEGINNING . . . A NEW CREATION! Text: Romans 5:20 Moreover, the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. Some time ago I was in a Christian book store and they were playing a song that kept repeating, "He’s the God of second ...read more
