One Is Bad - One Is Good

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Mar 11, 2009

A message comparing the horrifying attributes of hell to the wondrous goodness of heaven.

I read a news article the other day that said over 50% of society believes in a heaven, but less than 40% believe in a hell. There is a discrepancy in those numbers because everyone wants to go someplace good, and we all recognize that heaven is a good place. Likewise, we do not want to go any ...read more

To Whom Much Is Given... Series

Contributed by Pat Damiani on Aug 17, 2009

Amos uses a masterful literary technique to remind Israel that their responsibility before God is much greater than the surrounding nations because of what God has given them.

Is It Worth It?

Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 11, 2007

Is it worth it to follow Christ? Is it worth it to live faithfully? Is it worth it to give faithfully? Paul’s answer is, "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us."

This message is based on three verses: Romans 8:18, 26, 28. The Bible states that those who sell out to Jesus Christ have the power of God at work within them. We’re not going to be living perfect lives. All of our lives, we’re going to be saying with Paul, "Wretched man that I am! Who will set me ...read more

Vision Of The Lord Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Oct 1, 2007

Just as Israel had a skewed picture of God, sometimes we do too. Instead of seeing God in His fullness, we only pick out certain attributes to focus on like His love and mercy. Do we see God as He is, or made Him into somthing He isn’t?

If you don’t see Him as He’s revealed Himself, He will show Himself to you as Judge (8-10) b. If you see ...read more
