    The Reality Of The Resurrection

     | 11,379 views

    THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL DOCTRINE THAT WE MUST HOLD FAST TO IS THAT OF THE RESURRECTION. IF THERE IS NO RESURRECTION THERE IS NO CHRISTIANITY. IT IS IN THE POWER OF THE RESURRECTION THAT WE GAIN OUR PEACE AND ENCOURAGEMENT AS WE LIVE IN THIS DARK WORLD.

    THE REALITY OF THE RESURRECTION 1 CORINTHIANS 15:1-22 TWO MEN WERE OUT IN A BOAT FISHING ONE SUNDAY MORNING. THEY WERE FEELING PRETTY GUILTY ABOUT MISSING CHURCH, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE FISH WERE NOT BITING. ONE SAID TO THE OTHER “I GUESS WE SHOULD HAVE STAYED HOME AND GONE TO CHURCH THIS ...read more

    Yes God is a loviing God who sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross to atone for the sines of the world, but this does not, cannot, mean that everyone is saved. Universalism is a nice thought, but nor biblical. The worst sinner can become a saint,

    Luke 16: 19-31 Sermon: The reality of Hell Most preachers do not like giving sermons on hell, preferring to use terms such as “lost eternity”. Most pastors don't want to be regarded as a "fire and brimstone" preacher, yet we do no one a favour by avoiding this unpleasant subject. ...read more

    Hell is a real place, with real punishment, for real people.

    We live in a time when so many things about our society have succumb to the forces of capitalism and have become commercialized. No longer do families look forward to sitting down together for a Thanksgiving meal but they look forward to the early sales for Christmas. Even the sacred day of ...read more

    The Bible speaks about a real place called hell, and it’s a place where many people will unfortunately go when they die. But some individuals reason that hell is contradictory to God’s love and mercy and should not be preached.

    I have entitled our message this morning “The Reality of Hell.” Hell is a topic that tends to be avoided in a lot of churches and by a lot of pastors today. One person has accurately identified the perception of hell today when he said, “Since the days of fiery sermons from Puritan preachers like ...read more

    This is the first of four messages looking at the Parable of the Foolish Rich Man. It was part of our annual Money Month

    When you think of a treasure, what crosses your mind? Perhaps something buried by a pirate? When I was a boy, when I thought about treasure, I thought about Jim Hawkins and Long John Silver from Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel “Treasure Island”. By the way, Long John Silver was the ship’s cook, not ...read more

    All of us are interested in things that concern us. On the other hand, when a conversation is about things that do not interest us we become bored.

    For example, many who have too much time on their hands are interested in watching- - THE “SOAPS.” - The people who are interested in the “soap” operas can sit around in a circle and talk about those programs as if what was going on had something to do with real personal friends of theirs. They ...read more

    They are “as the angels of God in heaven” (Matthew 22:30).

    THE REALITY OF RESURRECTION. Matthew 22:23-33. There have probably always been, and always will be, people whose so-called ‘faith’ is defined not so much by what they BELIEVE, as by what they DO NOT BELIEVE.

    Just as the heart pumps life-giving blood to every part of the body, so the truth of the resurrection gives life to every other area of gospel truth. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the pivot on which all of Christianity turns & without which none of the other truths would much matter.

    1 CORINTHIANS 15:1-7 [RESURRECTION REALITIES SERIES] THE REALITY OF THE RESURRECTION [Psalm 16:8–11; Psalm 22; Luke 24:25-27] 1st Corinthians, chapter 15 is devoted entirely to doctrine, to a single doctrine, the Resurrection.

    Many in Paul's day feared those believers who died prior to Christ's return for the church would be forsaken and left within the grave. The apostle offered words of comfort and assurance regarding all the saved and their hope for the future.

    The Reality of the Rapture 1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18 Today, we have come to the most recognized passage in 1st Thessalonians, and one of the most familiar passages in all of Scripture.

    People often question what it takes to get to heaven. People question and wonder what heaven is really like. But you never really hear anyone ask about what hell is like. It makes me wonder if people even realize how real hell is.

    For the last couple of weeks you may have noticed that we have talked about Jesus being the only way to heaven and we considered the question “won't all people ultimately go to heaven?” People often question what it takes to get to heaven. People question and wonder what heaven is really like. ...read more
