     | 2,409 views

    Paul uses the word, “paradise.” It is of Oriental or Persian origin, meaning “the upper reaches of the heavens.” Paul was taken where God and other heavenly beings’ dwell.

    WHAT IS HEAVEN LIKE? TEXT: II COR. 12:2-4 INTRODUCTION: I want to acknowledge Dr. John Barnett as an inspiration for this message, and for stimulating me to my own research on this topic. I didn’t quote him, but after viewing several of his YouTube sermon videos, some of his thoughts inevitably ...read more

    Like A Palm Tree

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 2, 2023
     | 2,895 views

    [Palm Sunday.] Today we wave the palms as we come to this table … a sign that our sin has come to end. Today we wave the palms and come to this table as we profess our desire to serve God wholeheartedly.

    Palm Sunday. A perfect example of the fact that Jesus’ Disciples and His followers get it … and don’t get it. They get that He is a king … a leader … a prophet and messiah sent by God … but … a king … a leader … a prophet … a messiah who rides into the Jerusalem on colt … not a great stallion or ...read more

    The good news for believers is that death is not the last word. Jesus Christ conquered death, and through faith in Him, we have eternal life. Praise God!

    I praise God that He is risen. He is risen indeed. For our friends in Pakistan we say, "Wo jee utha. Wo jee utha, beshuk." It is so good to have 20/20 hindsight. Friday we left Jesus in the tomb. But death could not hold Him. He conquered death and gave us the hope of the ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,290 views

    God is at work, but are we doing our part to fulfill God’s plan? There is also a physical realm and a spiritual realm, and the question is what are we focusing on in our lives?

    Many people have a misunderstanding that everything that happens in their lives depends on God alone, and that there is nothing that they can do or accomplish with their own hands. Some others have resigned themselves to a fatalistic view that everything is controlled by God, and that therefore ...read more

    Why leave John the Baptizer and go follow the Galillean Rabbi Jesus instead?

    Sam was confused. He had been following John for - how long had it been? Almost a year, he thought, it was just before the grape harvest and his parents had been really upset that he hadn’t stayed until the work was finished. But Sam just had to go. The Messiah was due soon, everybody knew it, and ...read more
