     | 456 views

    What could be so unusual about a funeral service that it would get our attention? It is known as The Great White Throne Judgement.

    Why Is It Necessary To Consecrate Ourselves For Service?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 6, 2024
     | 371 views

    Too often we put everything toward the church building and programs, and at the same time we are denying the church body.

    Previously, David had instructed Solomon about the Temple. Now in this passage of Scripture, the people bring gifts for the Temple. It is feasible for us to be so fixated on a church building that we have disregard of the genuine church, God’s children. Yet, the contrary reaction, ignoring the ...read more

    A song that a lot of churches used to sing a lot, was, “I shall not be moved.

    The chorus of that song goes like this, “I shall not be, I shall not be moved; I shall not be, I shall not be moved: just like a tree that’s planted by the waters, Lord, I shall not be moved.” But the problem with many of the saints of God singing that song is that they are not like a tree planted ...read more

    Is preaching foolishness? Believe it or not, that’s what the Bible says. The preaching event seems like foolishness to people. But despite how it might appear, it’s the way that God has ordained to equip His church.

     | 1,707 views

    The focus of this sermon is to help the congregants get sold on the idea that training is a regular part of the Christian life. It is difficult to engage in any sort of intensive training activity unless you are convinced that there is a need for that.
