A Brief Glimpse Of Heaven

Contributed by Craig Condon on Oct 13, 2015

In order for us to understand the resurrection, we have to expand our ideas about who and what God is and what we can do. We can’t limit God with our own limited human reasoning. God continually surprises us. The future he has planned for us is glorious.

Have you ever wondered about what life will be like in heaven after we die? If so, you’ll be interested in what Jesus has to say about the subject in the passage from Luke 20:27-38. The Sadducees’ question about the resurrection was a ridiculous one because the Sadducees did not ...read more

The Brief Kiss

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020

There are some things that seem impossible. Is peace really possible? The Word of God says that it is. One of the places where God’s Word gives us the promise of peace is in Psalm 85 where it says righteousness and peace will kiss each other.

The Shortest Sermon Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

The success of Jonah is hard to believe. Skeptical scholars just flatly deny it. The facts are amazing. Jonah was preaching a message he didn't want to, and so his heart really was not in it. He really hoped it would be a flop even though he obeyed the letter of God's command.

As we all know, the Bible is very brief on its account, considering all the centuries that it covers. It was not designed to tell us everything and to give an exhaustive and detailed record of God's working. It was designed to give us basic truths, principles, and examples of their operation ...read more

Transformation In Progress: Brief Sketches Of The Twelve Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 17, 2002

From Christ’s intense ministry with the Apostles, we can see that God looks beyond what we are to what we can become. He wants us to enter the process of transformation and to continue on in that process.
