    Thanks to the book "The Christian Atheist" I gleaned ideas for this sermon. Hell is real, do we care enough to warn others so they do not have to go there?

    The Reality of HELL Rev 20:4-15 As a preacher and chaplain, I’m often confronted by death. One thing I’ve observed is that when someone dies, that person’s loved ones want to believe their relative went to “a better place.” We’ll say things like, “She ...read more

    Goal: To feel the reality of our sonship and call out "Abba/Daddy". Malady: We fear that God is a "dead beat dad." Means: Through the cross, we find the reality of the Trinity and our sonship through Christ. Trinity, Father’s Day, Sonship, Da Vinci Cod

    In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit – the Holy Three In One who grants us sonship that makes us cry out, “Abba, Father!” Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, What is your last name?

    There is no doubt that if Jesus tarries, all will face a physical death. What are some of the realities that come with that. In this message it is pointed out why men die, and what will happen if they die without Christ.

    The reality of death Scripture- 1 Chronicles 10:13-14 (KJV) So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it; And enquired not of the LORD: ...read more

    What about all those whose crimes were never discovered and never received the punishment due them? There is a day of judgment coming. No one is going to get by with anything.

    The first is this: Free will makes hell necessary. Hell is God’s great compliment to the human race — by it he is saying, “If you do not wish to live with me, you don’t have to ” And if people do not wish to live with God, there must be a place where they can be ...read more
