    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 24, 2024
     | 689 views

    When Jesus came and died on that cross in our place, it was not an after-thought. God planned it all ahead of time. Literally ahead of time.

    Alba 3-24-2024 GOD'S PLAN FROM THE BEGINNING II Thessalonians 2:13-17 Anybody who remembers watching cable TV in the 2000s will likely recall a Verizon commercial campaign in which a man sporting thick-framed glasses repeatedly asks in unlikely locations, "Can you hear me now?". ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,491 views

    This is a study of chapter 14 in the book of Revelation. This is a controversial subject but takes a conservative approach to understanding the book.

Title: Triumph of God’s people Theme: Text: Revelation 14 John Calvin said," I would rather be on the side that ...read more

    The end of the year is approaching, and most of us are very busy. The New Year is rapidly approaching. A lot of us look forward to the new year as a time to make changes, new starts, and for many, a time to think about budgets.

    In previous messages I touched upon a process called KT Decision Analysis. There is also a related process called KT Problem Analysis. This process is used to solve problems in industry and the originators of the approach Charles H. Kepner and Benjamin B. Tregoe recognised that problem solving must ...read more

    Jesus illustrates a simple approach of sharing our faith that has results.

    Sharing your Faith *John 4:4-38 “Now he had to go through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well.

    A different approach to the traditional Christmas sermons. From the Apostles John and Paul

    A Christmas Sermon As I sit to write this Christmas Sermon I feel rather strange because it will find its roots in the Gospel of John and the writings of the Apostle Paul and the writer of Hebrews rather than the Gospel’s of Luke and Matthew.

    Upon reading today's text the first thing that springs to mind, quite honestly, is Erich von Daniken's 1968 book, "Chariots of the Gods?," and the several hours of my life that I will never get back for having watched so many of those late night documentaries on the History Channel about UFO's and ...read more
