    The "Day Of The Lord” Study In The Scriptures - New Testament Part 10 – (1 And 2thessalonians) Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 26, 2022
     | 1,596 views

    Paul had to explain to the Thessalonians that they were NOT in the Tribulation just because they were having problems. The man of lawlessness had to come first, The Antichrist, before The Day of the LORD commenced. The Rapture must come first.

    THE “DAY OF THE LORD” STUDY IN THE SCRIPTURES - NEW TESTAMENT PART 10 – (1 AND 2THESSALONIANS) THE NEW TESTAMENT REFERENCES TO THE DAY OF THE LORD The DAY OF THE LORD is “The Day of Jehovah” and its usage is always associated with something dire, with judgement, and with events outside the ...read more

    Three Ways To Deal With God

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022
     | 1,962 views

    In this sermon, I want to deal with a STATEMENT we find in the scriptures that says, “There is no God!”

    But we definitely need to put this statement into context. The whole verse says, “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.” Since God can not be seen, some foolishly say there is no God. Now if He could be seen they would not be able to state that. But just because we can not see Him ...read more

    The Road To Happiness, Joy And Peace

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Mar 31, 2022
     | 3,451 views

    The multitude, like many today had gotten their priorities confused. So much time is spent worrying about "things" that we lose sight of what truly matters and leads to happiness. We seek gold while dismissing God. We seek health while neglecting holiness.

    Sermon – The Road To Happiness Luke 6:20-26 “And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. 22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate ...read more

    Live With Power Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Apr 2, 2022
     | 2,767 views

    Jesus called his disciples one by one at various occasions form their various vocations. He taught them the values of his kingdom, he trained them in healing, caring, and in preaching. He taught them to face the crisis, needs and being faithful civilian.

    Luke 9:1-6 Live with Power in Ministry Greetings: The Lord is good and his love endures forever. A preacher trained his horse to go when he says, “Praise the Lord,” and to stop when he says, “Amen.” One day, the preacher mounted on his horse, and said “Praise the Lord,” the horse immediately ...read more

    The Last Word

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 2, 2022
     | 2,285 views

    Skeptics claim that death has the final word. God claims that life has the final word. Should we abandon the skeptics’ claim for God’s. Should we? John says “yes,” and he gives us three reasons that we should.

    It was Sunday morning. The pastor was planning to preach on the Resurrection of the Lord. And he wanted his sermon to make an impression on the congregation. So he proceeded to shave in front of them. He lathered up, ran his razor over his face, first one side, then the other, then the chin, and ...read more

    The Deity Of Christ

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 4, 2022
     | 1,919 views

    Something we Christians have always taken for granted as we witnessed to the lost is the deity of Christ.

    That is, as we talked to sinners we would take it for granted that they understood that Jesus was the son of Mary and Joseph, but more important, that He is the DIVINE SON OF GOD. In past years very seldom have we come across anyone who did not believe this Biblical truth. However, this is ...read more

    James Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 9, 2022
     | 3,061 views

    Even after more than two years of miracles, James is a skeptic. It would, after all, be rather hard to swallow the idea that the brother you had grown up with was the Son of God.

    Jesus came from a big family. Matthew 13:55-56 names Jesus' brothers: James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas and mentions sisters (plural), so He had at least six siblings. James is consistently named first when Jesus' brothers are listed, which in his day likely meant that he was the eldest of ...read more

    Eschatology 11 Of 16 The Second Coming

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 13, 2022
     | 3,351 views

    In recent studies we have covered some very important things in the Book of Revelation. We saw …

    • The rapture of the church • The receiving of our glorified bodies • The Judgments (The Seal Judgments, The Trumpet Judgments, and The Vial Judgments) All these things will take place on earth during the seven years of the tribulation period. But we also discovered that while this is taking ...read more

    Eighth Commandment (10 Of 12)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022
     | 1,049 views

    This morning we dealt with the commandment, "Thou shalt not Steal." We found out that we can steal in many ways. We found, for example, that we can steal:

    1. Through gossip: We can say many things about people that can rob them of their good reputation. 2. Through being a bad employee. Not doing the job that we are being paid to do, or even perhaps dipping our hands in the till. 3. Through being a bad employer. An employer can easily steal from his ...read more

    "fear"

    Contributed by Ken Sauer on Apr 19, 2022
     | 3,606 views

    A sermon about overcoming fear through the Risen Christ.

    “Fear” John 20:19-31 Our Gospel Lesson this morning begins on the evening of Easter. The doors are shut; they are “locked for fear of the Jewish leaders.” And this is understandable. The disciples were, after-all, followers of this Man who the Jewish leaders hated—hated enough for them to ...read more

    The Peril Of False Prophets (Part 2)

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 20, 2022
     | 1,819 views

    Satan seeks to do all he can to hinder and defeat the church. One of the tools he likes to use is deception. If he can distort the truth, causing people to believe a lie, then he has succeeded in his efforts.

    The Peril of False Prophets (Part 2) Matthew 7: 15-20 In our last study we began to consider Jesus’ teaching concerning false prophets, those who come in among the church in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. I remain convinced that this passage needs to be preached and ...read more

     | 1,477 views

    To encounter Jesus is to find the truth people are seeking! We must learn to listen to, walk in and practice THE TRUTH.

    THE HIGH PRIEST AND PONTIUS PILATE What is the main idea of the message? We must learn to listen to, walk in and practice THE TRUTH. Jesus washed his disciple’s feet in love and compassion. Pilate washed his hands in disdain and rejection. Truth. noun, 'trüth, plural truths\ ...read more

     | 10,063 views

    This passage applies to all people. Whether we make our living in construction or not, we are all builders. Each day we live we are building something that will one day be evaluated by the Master Builder.

    The Two Builders Matthew 7: 24-27 We have come to the conclusion of the longest recorded message in Scripture our Lord preached: The Sermon on the Mount. It has been an insightful journey; much of what we have considered has been very familiar to us, but it has been challenging as well. The ...read more

    Moses objects because he believes that the people would not ACCEPT his word unless he showed them some sign. God gives him the power to work miracles.

    Ex 4:1-5. Moses's rod is turned into a serpent. Ex 4:6-9. His hand is leprous. Ex 4:10-12. He is loath to be sent. Ex 4:13-17. Aaron is appointed to assist him. Ex 4:18-20.

    Jesus Before Pilate Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Apr 3, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,657 views

    The trials on Jesus’ last earthly day picture the religious & political world’s rejection of Jesus & His claims. He came unto His own and they did not receive Him. Sin’s blindness leads to Jesus’ dying because of who He is, God in human flesh.

    LUKE 23: 1–5-7 JESUS BEFORE PILATE [JESUS’ LAST DAY SERIES] [Mark 15:1–5; Mt. 5:10-12] Jesus’ last day begins with Him being rejected and condemned by the Jewish ruling counsel and then being hauled before Pilate. The irony of their judgement is that Jesus will be crucified for being who He ...read more
