The Music Of Heaven

Contributed by Glenn Dale Pease on Aug 29, 2014

The book of Revelation has a host of happy hymns of harmony as part of the heavenly scene. Poems of praise are part of paradise. Joyful songs of jubilation to Jesus are a major part of this revelation about heaven.

THE MUSIC OF HEAVEN based on Rev.15:1-8 By Glenn Pease Most of us are not gifted in the realm of music.

God, Are You Sure?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 5, 2022

Chapter five of Exodus teaches us it is the will of God for man to live and worship God in freedom.

In Exodus 4, we saw the RELUCTANT PROPHET that came up with all kinds of excuses for why he could not be God’s man to lead Israel out of Egypt. In Exodus 5, Moses became willing to obey God in the PERMISSIVE WILL OF GOD, BUT NOT THE PERFECT WILL OF GOD. The PERFECT WILL OF GOD was for God to ...read more

Building On The Rock Series

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 18, 2024

Those who heed the message of a false prophet are unwise, building their hope on an unstable foundation. Jesus discusses "doing" vs. "doing his will," as many who proclaim to do works in His name will wind up in hell.

When I preached from that passage, I began with the fairy tale of “Little Red Riding Hood” and the wolf as our opening illustration. This ...read more
