    The book of Daniel contaians many prophesies. Concerning the end of time Daniel tell us to expect: Resurrection, Retribution, and Reward!

    The End Of Time Scott R Bayles, preacher I’m sure several people here this morning have seen the bumper stickers, "In case of rapture this car will be unmanned," or some else like that.

    If we deliberately keep on sinning ... then there are no sacrifices left, only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.

    If We Deliberately Keep On Sinning Scripture: Hebrews 10: 19-39 Story: Michael De Rosa tells this story: Two elderly, excited Southern women were sitting together in the front pew of church listening to a fiery preacher. When this preacher condemned the sin of stealing, these two ladies ...read more

    Are healings and miracles just for the times of the Apostles, or can we expect to see them today? This sermon attempts to answer that question.

    Miracles I have been asked to speak on the subject of miracles. This subject leaves me with a dilemma. It is not what to say that is the problem, but what to leave out. It is a very large topic. I have decided to split the topic into four different areas. Firstly, what are miracles and what ...read more

    based on 16 ratings
     | 5,480 views

    Adversity is to be expected in the life of a Christian, but how we handle adversity will determine it’s effect and outcome in our life.

    Intro: Paul’s main emphasis here seems to be that God has opened a door for effective ministry and that he has faced much opposition.

    People expect only the ceremonial from the church. But God wants to give us a rich, varied, and outward-reaching life.

    Last week you seemed to get a big charge out of my little story about going to a wedding rehearsal and wasting time waiting for a key person to arrive. When I said that I didn’t know what we’d do on Sunday afternoon if he didn’t show up, you let out a belly laugh. You assumed I was talking about ...read more

     | 77,591 views

    The story of Mephibosheth is a perfect illustration of the Gospel. I used this sermon on a "Friend Day" when we expected many visitors.

    Introduction: A. Today I want to tell the story of a man named Mephibosheth. 1. Now there’s a name for you! Anyone want to use that name for their son? 2. It’s so hard to pronounce that I thought about giving him a nickname for today. 3. I thought about just calling him “M.” 4. Then I thought ...read more

    God looks at us as ‘living stones’ but not many of us live up to the expectation of God, do we?

    Mighty Wall! 1 Peter 2:5 “you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” I would like to share an illustration I read somewhere: “There’s a story about a king of ...read more

    A message from 2 Timothy about what God expect from us after He gifts and calls us.

    Introduction Paul here is giving Timothy some instructions as a father in the ministry. He makes an analogy between three areas of life compared to being a Christian.
