What If You Miss Heaven?

Contributed by Robert Webb on Aug 5, 2019

If you miss Heaven you must consider that you rejected God’s promise, , His plan for salvation, or you have fallen away from the truth!

We have all had the experience of missing something. If you miss an appointment, you make another one. If you miss a phone call they can call again. If you miss a meal, you can eat later. Some misses are not so easy to correct! If you miss your plane you’re stuck for hours at the airport trying to ...read more

The Power To Give Life

A Witness To The Faith

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 11, 2017

Although under house arrest, Paul continued to proclaim the Gospel. He refused to remain silent about the grace he had received. We need to share the desire and commitment of Paul to proclaim the Gospel.

A Witness to the Faith Acts 26: 19-23; 27-29 This was a stressful and frustrating time for Paul. At this time he had been under house arrest for more than two years. He was accused and arrested in Jerusalem by the influence of the Jewish Sanhedrin. Following an appeal to Caesar, he was brought to ...read more

Good News Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Jun 24, 2017

In Romans 1:1–7 Paul unfolds 7 aspects of the good news of Jesus Christ: 1) The Preacher (Rom. 1:1) and Promise (Rom. 1:2), 2) Person (Rom. 1:3-4), 3) Provision , Proclamation, Purpose (Rom. 1:5), and finally the 4) Privileges of the Good News (Rom. 1:7)

A quick look at any newspaper, a radio update or TV newscast, reminds us that in our world most news is bad and seems to be getting worse. What is happening on a national and worldwide scale is simply the magnification of what is happening on an individual level. As personal problems, animosities, ...read more

Blessings In Bethsaida Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 11, 2017

As Jesus came into the area of Gennesaret, word quickly spread that He had arrived. The entire region sought Him, bringing the sick unto Him by faith. We need to spread the word about Jesus, and point others to Him.

Blessings in Bethsaida Mark 6: 53-56 Our text today immediately follows the miraculous, and yet frightening night the disciples had spent upon the sea. While we too would likely have responded much the same or worse, we cannot overlook their lack of faith. Jesus had commanded them to get into the ...read more

Gathering Together Under The Word

Contributed by Travis L. Billings on Sep 28, 2020

It is obvious that the Spirit of God was moving and working in the hearts of those in Jerusalem even before reading the Word of God. Generally speaking, people do not often gather together as one for God “unless the Father draws them (John 6:44).”

Last week, we spoke the fact that GOD IS NOT ONLY CONCERNED WITH WHAT IS CREATED, HE IS CONCERNED WITH HOW WE TAKE CARE OF WHAT WAS CREATED. Nehemiah began moving from the building project itself, to taking the necessary steps to insure that what was built (or created) would be protected and ...read more

What Are You Going To Do When The Lights Go Out?

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Nov 23, 2020

The purpose for this message is to bring to your consideration the question, “What are you going to do when the lights go out?” In other words, are you ready for death when it comes? Are you ready to die? Are you prepared to meet your Maker?

(1 Cor 15:13 NIV) If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. (1 Cor 15:14 NIV) And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. (1 Cor 15:15 NIV) More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have ...read more
