Death Of The Righteous

Contributed by Segun Omole on May 3, 2012

Christians pray about heaven but no one really wants to die. Death I have come to understand is a vehicle to glory for a Christian.

To man death of a righteous man means a waste. Their place is left vacant and what they used to do is left undone. We mourn and cry for we see them no more. Wondering whether we would ever see them again even in eternity as we are still on the journey hoping to reach the right destination in ...read more

Searching For Home

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 18, 2022

For many people, life seems dissatisfying. They are actually searching for home; but our true home is in heaven. Until we reach heaven, Jesus is our home. This is the expanded version of a funeral sermon I did called "Looking for Home."

Some say, “Home is where the heart is.” What is home? John Ed Pearce, long-time writer for the Courier-Journal, stated, “Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to.” I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Searching for Home,” and I’m addressing this topic ...read more

Understanding The Kingdom

Contributed by Chidi Ejeagba on Jan 23, 2021

Understanding the kingdom of God is our key to representing it. you cannot represent a kingdom you do not understand.

If you asked me the question “What is the Kingdom of God and what does it mean to be a kingdom person?” I probably would have answered, “Well, I guess that it’s where we all go as Christians when we die – it’s heaven.” And I think that a lot of Christians still think that way.

Do You Want Earthly Or Heavenly Treasures?

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Sep 21, 2021

Did Jesus say that we receive Earthly treasures by following Him? The answer is no. We do receive treasures in Heaven. You will want to look at my Hebraic Analysis of Mark 10:28-31 to see why the Greek and English translation of verse 30 may not be exactly what Jesus said.

Do you want Earthly or Heavenly Treasures? Mark 10:28-31 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 28 Peter began to say to Him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed You." 29 Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father ...read more
