    based on 9 ratings
     | 12,799 views

    An explanation of what the Rapture is, and what the Bible says about when it will occur.

    Each time we observe Communion, we read the passage in 1 CORINTHIANS 11 that tells us to eagerly look forward to the return of Christ. But nobody knows when that will be. Today, we will find out what we are supposed to do with that information. Let me begin by telling you a story of a man who ...read more

    Thyatira is a corrupt church. They do many great works, but God does not even address them as His children. It’s still here today and is key to the end of the world. Link inc. to formatted text, audio/video, PowerPoint.

     | 4,240 views

    Do we really make a difference in this world? Has the church become insignificant today? Churches have a high calling to honor God in their attitudes and actions.

    Hebrews 10:23-25 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so ...read more

     | 4,673 views

    Beginning with a scriptural look at why marriage is such an important gift for us, moving on to how marriage looks like a model for our response to the gospel, ending with what this means and how we can join in the glory this leads to.

    Church is a foreign, strange enviroment to seekers. How can we develop into a place of welcome as the church? What habits can we adopt that will make us the place of welcome that God wants us to be?

    A sermon explaining why attending every possible service is almost a mandatory thing: Not just for the church, but for ourselves, other believers, and for the community as well.

    I have spent many years in many churches. Many times I sat as a member of the congregation, having the same viewpoint and expectations as most of you have. And then there were many times I saw something quite different than what you see each week. For many years, I saw the church body through ...read more

    This continues in my expository series through the book of Acts.

    There’s no getting around the fact that today’s text contains a part that strikes us as humorous, and the fact of the matter is that sometimes, we can do some funny things in church. A preacher was completing a temperance sermon: with great expression he said, “If I had all the beer in the ...read more

    Why would Paul list such a long boooring list of people at the end of such a powerful New Testament book? Why waste the ink? The answer to that question is both intriguing and exciting to those of who belong to Jesus.

    I opened the sermon by asking the congregation to join with me in singing: “I’m So Glad I’m A Part Of The Family of God I’ve been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His blood Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod For I’m part of the family, the family of God.” If you’re a Christian here ...read more

    Believe it or not, Paul was a mystery writer. But not fiction. His mystery was the previously unrevealed truth of the union of Gentile and Jewish believers into the body of Christ, the Church. This sermon examines this earth shattering truth.
