    War in heaven with the dragon

    I have mentioned from the pulpit on different occasions that I get upset about people that give the impression--overtly or in a subtle way--that they are going to take on Satan or his demons. I have heard stories from years ago about preachers dressing up in army fatigues and making a whole lot of ...read more

    The joy and love and peace that awaits us in heaven is beyond our imagination! It supersedes anything we have known on earth.

    People often ask me about heaven. Will my grandpa and grandma be there? Will they be the same age- will they like the same things they like(d) on earth? How about my little poodle, "Itty Bit"? Will my pets and my friends be in heaven? From time to time, I am asked these questions and ...read more

    This ties up my summer series on the Kingdom of Heaven and brings us to what we need to do with what we have learned.

    I have a confession to make and I hope you don’t think less of me after I’m done; That’s right I love country music. I love listening to the new artists like Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood and Dean Brody and I love listening to the outlaws from the seventies like Willie and ...read more

    When we think on beautiful things or objects we naturally can not help but think of the sites and beautiful things that we see here on this earth, and rightly so, because we have never been to heaven, there’s not any words that we can say that would

    1 Corinthians 2:9 HEAVEN #2 5-7-11 Today I want to bring a few thoughts to do with HEAVEN, there’s a lot of people in the world that don’t believe there is a “God or a heaven or a hell”, they believe that when ...read more

    Probably one of the most messed up Christian concepts is that of heaven, our final destination, which is nothing like the pictures created by our church traditions!

    Heaven – it is not what most people think Illustration The two professors stood nose to nose as they shouted at one another. “The craters on the moon are the result of volcanism,” cried one. “You are an idiot,” screamed the other, “the craters on the moon are ...read more

    If you see Heaven or Hell there is no return trip.

    There have been many that claim to have been to Hell and Heaven and came back or were sent back to tell us about it. Atheists have been to Hell and Heaven. Professing Christians also have been to Heaven or Hell. Are these valid experiences or things to distract people from the real Gospel and ...read more

    What Does It Mean The Kingdom Of Heaven Is At Hand?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Mar 10, 2025
     | 280 views

    The Kingdom of Heaven lies before all of us. The problem is whether or not people are actually looking for it.

    What Does it Mean the Kingdom of Heaven Is at Hand? Matthew 3:2 John the Baptist has blasted onto the scene. His subject was "Repent ye!" Repentance is when a person does a turnaround or an about-face, which means a 180-degree turn from the direction that the person was headed. Malachi ...read more

    Couldn’t Jesus have stayed on earth and God would have done all that?

    Ascension Thoughts 2025 Why did Jesus ascend into heaven? Wouldn’t it be better if He remained here on earth. And, besides, Matthew records that He said “Behold, I am with you always, even until the end of days.” We know that when the Church celebrates the Ascension, forty days after Easter, we ...read more

    Eavesdropping On Heaven's Situation Room Series

    God isn’t lonely at all! The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit envelope one another in a mind-blowing love. Heaven isn’t brighter even by scintilla when I arrive there by His grace one day. How could heaven improve when God is there?

    On May 1, 2011, President Obama, his staff, and military brass watched the raid on Osama bin Laden’s Pakistan compound in the Situation Room. The famous Situation Room is not one room but is actually several conference rooms and offices.1 Its abbreviated name is the Sit Room, and it has just ...read more
