    If you knew that you had the assurance of a new life, eternal life with God, a hope that could not be disappointed, prayers that would be answered in accordance with God’s will, you will have a joy that no one can take and a peace that passes all understanding.

    We are at the end of John 16 today and as Jesus is preparing to leave this earth and return to His Father in heaven, He is making sure that His disciples will be well equipped for their mission.

     | 1,618 views

    This is the third sermon I preached in this series. We find a challenge issued by the Holy Spirit through the Apostle John which helps us see how to fulfill the Great Commandments “Love God and Love Others” and the Great Commission.

    Text: 1 John 4:1-11 (1) Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. (2) Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: (3) And every ...read more

    Last week, we looked at the Greatest Command (Mt 22:34-40). This week, we look at the Greatest Question. (Mt 22:41-46)

    The Book of Matthew is filled with many great questions: The disciples asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it (the demon) out?” (Mt 17:19). “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” (Mt 18:1) “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?” (Mt ...read more

    The gift of salvation is the door opened to a relationship with God for people who know they’re separated from God and don’t want to be.

    The country once called Zaire is gone. It’s hard to believe how fast it happened, isn’t it? The suffering has been terrible, but 7 months is an incredibly short time for a civil war to begin, run its course, and end, especially a country the size of Zaire. I mean, the Republic of Congo. It’s as big ...read more

     | 2,815 views

    The Grinch was right, Christmas is not only about presents, but also about God’s gift of His son bringing, light, life and joy into the world. Today, I want to talk about the most hateful character of the Christmas story. Let’s look at Christmas from a different viewpoint.

    Sermon: The Most Hateful Character in the Christmas Story Scripture Lesson: Matthew 2:1-12."Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod. About that time some wise men from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem, asking, 2 “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his ...read more

     | 4,826 views

    We sometimes hear a lot about love during Advent and the Christmas season. May we never forget the incredible love God has for us. John 3 isn't usually a Christmas text but what Jesus said there is good for Christmas, too.

    (Based on and edited from a message preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO on 12-18-22. This is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: There is no greater expression of love, anywhere, when we think about how Jesus left Heaven to come to this earth, to be born like us, live with us, die ...read more

    based on 2 ratings

    This message looks at aspects of the wrath of God where the subject is examined. The great truth is that Christians will never enter the wrath of God because the Saviour bore that wrath for each of us.

    MESSAGE 7 - 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 5 – NOW WE LOOK AT THE WRATH OF GOD AND SALVATION – PART 1 (Verse 9) DESTINED NOT FOR WRATH, BUT FOR SALVATION {{1Thessalonians 5:9 “God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.”}} We will consider just this ...read more

    When the manna is no longer on the menu, it means milk and honey are on their way

    The manna stopped the day after they ate this food from the land; there was no longer any manna for the Israelites, but that year they ate the produce of Canaan.
