God's Unholy Angels

Contributed by Steve Hereford on Jan 15, 2002

What does the Bible teach about demons? Join Pastor Steve as he examines the fall of angels.

In Revelation 12:4 it tells us that the dragon (i.e., the devil or Satan) "drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth." The "stars of heaven" is a reference to angels. These angels, Jude says "did not keep their proper domain, but left their own habitation" (1:6). Here we are ...read more

In The Mist Of The Sea

Contributed by Martin Holland on Mar 30, 2012

The Bible often refers to the population of people as the sea. I find in the scriptures the parallel between the troubles in this life as the trouble sea. How do we sail the sea of life?

In The Mist of Sea With Jesus Matt. 14:22-33 Jesus spent most of His ministering around the Sea of Galilee which is also called the Sea of Tiberias. After the feeding of the 5,000 He sends His disciples unto the other side toward Capernaum, but unto Bethsaida the northern part of the sea. And ...read more

The World In The Church

Contributed by Martin Holland on Oct 18, 2012

This church instead of impacting the world the world had an impact on it. Sadly to say this appears to be much like today.

The World in the Church Revelation 2:12-17 We are about to study the third Church in which the Lord writes. The Church of Ephesus was challenged to fall in love with Him again and the Church of Smyrna was praise for their faithful in the mist of persecution. They were poor by the world’s ...read more

Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 4, 2020

To continue means to persevere, endure, stick to it, or persist. That is the characteristics we must live today. So many are quitting, fading away or slipping back. Let's do our part to continue.

The church received the word of God. First, the word must be preached. Not ideas, thoughts, rules, philosophy, etc. Second, the word must be received. Welcome it, believe it, take it in, practice it, hold on to it, hunger for it, share it. Now the key thought is found in vs. 42 and 46, “they ...read more
