Providence In American History Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021

We celebrate the 4th of July for the same reason the Jews celebrate Purim. It is a day to look back and see the providence of God in our history.

Great leaders are often providentially preserved from what ought to have been certain death. This happens before they rise to a level where they are a blessing to many people. In the history of the Jews, Mordecai is one of these leaders. He came within minutes of being hung on a gallows, and ...read more

The Greatest Comeback In History Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023

The sermon explores the concept of Jesus' statement "it is finished" on the cross, emphasizing that it was not a declaration of defeat, but a proclamation of victory over sin and death.

When Jesus said “it is finished”, as He hung on the cross, He gave up His spirit and He died. To many, this may have seemed like a defeat. The Evil One thought he had finished Jesus. The Roman soldiers thought they had finished Jesus. The religious elite thought that they had finished Jesus. ...read more

Lesson 2 : Truncated History Series

Contributed by Rolland Bouchard on Dec 10, 2009

A very truncated look at the history of christianity. This message presupposes that many people believe restoration history bypasses the reformation and catholicism. However, it is unhealthy to not acknowlege our past. Instead we ought to embrace it.

HISTORY: Very, Very Truncated. “In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.” Hebrews 1:1 In trying to better ...read more
