    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 25, 2009
    based on 65 ratings
     | 26,674 views

    When Jesus comes again, it will be in power, and righteousness and judgment. But what does His 2nd coming mean to us, and what part (if any) do we play in it?

    OPEN: Several years ago Johnny Carson had Billy Graham as a guest on his show. At one point there was a lull in the conversation and Johnny said, "You know what Billy, I bet if Jesus ever came back to earth, I bet we’d do him in again!"

    If you want to gain true wisdom in the midst of your pain, don’t be like those who WON’T SEE, and don’t be like those who CAN’T SEE. Instead, be like those who DO SEE, because they let Jesus touch them not just once, but as many times as it takes.

    A businessman was late for an important meeting and couldn’t find a parking space. As he frantically circled the block, the man got so desperate that he decided to pray. Looking up toward heaven, he said, “Lord, take pity on me. If you find me a parking space, I’ll go to church every Sunday ...read more

    Love Is A Command Series

    Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 30, 2009
    based on 18 ratings
     | 14,628 views

    Jesus said, ’this is my command: Love one another.’ How does that work? It is easy to see how you can obey a command not to lie, or steal or commit murder – but how can you command somebody to love somebody. How is that possible?

    Verse 12: ‘My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you’. Verse 17: ‘This is my command: Love each other’. One of the funniest comedies ever to find it’s way onto our tv screens, arguably, has to be Fawlty Towers. It starred John Cleese as the Torquay hotel owner Basil Fawlty, and ...read more

    Why sing? Isn’t singing just for "singers"? And what if I don’t like the songs? Do I have to sing anyway?

    The Old Testament Law was very strict about how the people of Israel were to clease themselves... but the bronze laver was only used by the priests. What can that mean for Christians today?

    OPEN: Years ago I went to the a seminar for preachers put on by a local hospital. In part, the seminar was an attempt on their part to show appreciation for our ministry to their patients.

    When God’s leaders, whether secular political, secular business, or church religious leaders, fail, the result is disastrous for both God’s people and those around them.

    Some of you are bound to be offended at the title of this sermon. If you are familiar with the slang of a couple of generations ago, this was the ‘40s and ‘50s description of a person who had cast moral considerations aside and wanted to have a hot and heavy affair. It usually denigrated women as ...read more

    Behold The Lamb Of God Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Apr 7, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,282 views

    Why is the Apostle John the only Gospel writer to record the words of John the Baptist referring to Jesus as the Lamb of God? We will discover the answer to that question in this topical message titled Behold the Lamb of God.

    http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com/ The words that John the Baptist chose to describe Jesus are very interesting. As a matter of fact, Jesus is only specifically called the Lamb of God twice in the whole Bible—once here and once a few verses later in verse 36. There is no doubt that John the ...read more
