     | 12,151 views

    We’ve all heard the great arguments and evidences for the existence of God and those all have their important place but this talk focuses on how God can be more real and relevant in our lives than the very homes we live in.

    1. Is God Real and Relevant? a. Is it really possible for a God you can’t see or touch to be real, personal and relevant in your life? b. We’ve all thought those same thoughts and asked those same questions. c. How do you know whether God is real? 2. That’s what were going to talk about tonight. ...read more

    A message to challenge believers to hear the voice of God and respond in obedience and unbelievers to respond in faith to God’s salvation.

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION (D.L. Moody: listen to audio recording) INTRODUCTION The Bible makes it clear that God has given to us two sets of ears; physical ears with which we can hear physical voices.

    I'll Fly Away

    based on 18 ratings
     | 34,375 views

    I often wondered, especially in times like these, why would the author use the word ‘GLAD’ when referring to this earthly life being over? Can we find a sense of Gladness even when a life has been cut so short and abruptly?

    Biblical Christianity and Biblical Judaism are joined at the hip, because they are founded upon God’s gifts and calling, which are irrevocable.

    You’ve Been Grafted (Romans 11:13-32) 1. One frustration we sometimes experience in dealing with people is when they blame others for things that are really their own fault. 2. A woman met with a counselor and stated, "I want to divorce my husband." ?On what grounds?” asked the ...read more

    Sopater In Biblical Names, the meaning of Sopater is: Who defends the father. Today, we will attempt to discover all there is to know about the person named Sopater. To do this, we will use an acrostic and the name Sopater. First, notice that the name of this ancient man has seven letters, ...read more

    The Resurrection Of Jesus Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 11, 2022
     | 5,078 views

    He is risen! He is alive! Jesus raised never to die again. Others in the New Testament were raised, but died again, like Lazarus. Jesus was raised from the dead and he shall live forever.

    The resurrection is the very central point and essence of Christianity. It is “of first importance” of the Christian faith. That essence and the importance is captured beautifully in For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the ...read more

    Jesus Anti-Evangelism Series

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Mar 16, 2024
     | 525 views

    In John's Gospel, Jesus does something many people find surprising, that of frequently driving away people who claim to be believers in Him. Today we look in depth at those He drove away in John 8, why He did it, and especially how He did it by claiming to be the Great I AM!

    Our move now through the Lenten Season, and to the cross has a purpose: to confront people to make a decision about what they think about Jesus. The TRUE Jesus. This week, we focus on the foolishness of the cross to those who want to accept Him on their own terms. In 1 Cor 1: 18 The word of the ...read more
