Israel - Hated Among The Nations (2 Of 3) Series

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Sep 2, 2002

What Is God's View Of War

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Apr 2, 2003

As Christians we need to know what God says about war. Didn’t Christ come preaching peace? If so how can war be compatible with the life and teachings of Jesus Christ? Isn’t war a contradiction to the teachings of God’s Word?

The Amercian Soldier!

Contributed by Bradford Robinson on Sep 15, 2004

This sermon was preached at a service in honor of Todd Cherry, a young member of our church who was being sent to Iraq. It looks at what being a hero and a patriot means.

We throw around the term hero far to often these days. If a man can outrun a defender to score a touchdown, or if a person can slam dunk the ball we call them a hero. If a person can get on the big screen and pretend to do something great, we call them a hero. We have so belittled the term that ...read more
