Free Forgiveness For All?

Contributed by Eric Sellgren on Jun 18, 2002

WILL EVERYONE GO TO HEAVEN?

That`s a very familiar story – of a woman caught in the very act of adultery, and brought into the presence of Jesus for condemnation and stoning. But Jesus DIDN`T condemn her – He told her to “GO AND SIN NO MORE”. Did you notice that the woman hadn`t said she was wrong – she hadn`t asked for ...read more

The Evidence Of Salvation

Contributed by Rick Kallstrom on Jan 28, 2003

What we do know is that the Bible teaches us very clearly that after a person has received salvation through Jesus that a change should take place in their lives. There should be visible evidence of their salvation!

The most important decision that any of us has ever made, or will ever make in our lifetime, is to accept Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior, and to receive salvation. God never wanted to have to send His Son to die for us, but He knew it was the only way. The Bible tells us in Jon ...read more

When Heaven Opens

Contributed by Darrell Jones on Mar 1, 2003

I recently saw a sign for a store advertising a grand opening. The store manager boasted of great give-a-ways and all sort of wonderful prizes. However, none of these things compare to what we gain when Heaven opens.

In our text Heaven opened to show Peter a vision from God of our world,both Jews, Gentiles and Samaritans. God also showed Peter that he would have to work among the unbelief, prejudices, and despair of this world. Heaven opened to give Peter a promise of continual divine assistance. (1) Heaven ...read more

To Whom Shall We Go?

Contributed by Darrell Jones on Mar 18, 2003

This message answers the question of "To Whom Shall We Go", in matters pertaining to eternity.

Most everyone has someone they can turn to for advice. In time of sickness, they can turn to a doctor. In legal matters, they can turn to a lawyer. However, there are some things man doesn’t have the answer for. As you and I face eternity with a never dying soul, to whom shall we go? (1) To Whom ...read more

Losing Christ

Contributed by Mike Hamilton on Mar 20, 2003

Just as Jesus’ parents lost him, we too can lose Christ if but only for a short time. That which we lose is that close personal relationship.

“Finding Christ” Luke 2:41-52 (Read Text) “Finding Christ” implies that he has been or can be lost. And I want to make clear what I mean by that. I do not mean that a person can lose the grace of God once they have received it, but what a person can lose, because of their actions, is the ...read more

Come And See

Contributed by Darrell Jones on Mar 21, 2003

There are somethings in life where we simply can’t take the word of someone else, we must Come And See for ourselves. This message can be built upon in a number of ways.

The instruction given by Philip was very wise. There is no need for argument, nor to reason. He simply says Come And See for your self. (A) We Must Come And See Who Christ Is! (1) Many are indifferent to Jesus because they simply don’t know Him. (a) They may have heard of Him, yet do not know ...read more

Seeking Shelter-Refusing Refuge

Contributed by Darrell Jones on Mar 22, 2003

To have a place of refuge and to know where it is, and how to get there is not enough. You must stay in the shelter God has provided through His Son.

The Law of Moses has a spiritual meaning, as is seen from the clear references of Scripture. (Zech.9:12) "Turn you to the STRONGHOLD, ye prisoners of HOPE; even today do I declare that I will render double to thee." (Heb.6:18). "That by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to ...read more

What Shall You Do?

Contributed by Charles Gilbert on Aug 9, 2001

Challenges good people to see that they need salvation, and to lay down whatever needed to receive Jesus.

What Shall You Do? Mark 10:17 There is not one thing that you and I can do to receive salvation. There are though, certain obstacles in our lives that we might have to cross over, obstacles or hindrances that effect our desire to yield completely to Jesus. There has never been one person who ...read more
