    Peter told the crowd at Pentecost: "Save Yourself from this crooked generation." But there's a few problems with that statement. Do you know what those problems are, and what the Bible says about those objections?

    OPEN: In a third-grade class, the teacher asked Johnnie, “Is the world round?” “No, ma’am,” was the reply. “It isn’t?” exclaimed the teacher. “Then I suppose it’s flat?” “No, ma’am.” “Well, honey, if the world isn’t round and it’s not flat… then what is it?” Johnnie smiled and replied: “My dad says ...read more

    Three schemes are examined to see Satan’s division and hurt in the human race. The wide net of PLEASURE is first; followed by the corruption of CHRISTMAS and EASTER; followed by what FEMINISM is doing to our world. These might be hot issues but Satan has created the trouble to damn people

    Prime Number

    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,164 views

    On Friend Day we looked at many of the numbers that are important to God. But there is ONE number that I believe is more important than all the others. Do you know what that number is, and why it is a "prime" number for Him?

    Today is May 7th, 2023 – or 5-7-23. Those are all PRIME numbers, which means you can’t divide them by 2, 3, 4, or anything else. Primes are numbers that can only be divided by themselves and 1. Now, I’ve never given much thought to “prime” numbers, but there is an entire discipline of mathematics ...read more

     | 2,544 views

    Do not seek vengeance on others or render evil to anyone. Injustice is everywhere but leave it in the Lord’s hands. Then we have the words “Pray without ceasing” and we look at a lot of references for that. We will consider joy and rejoicing as well.

    MESSAGE 11 - 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 5:15-17 – VENGEANCE, REJOICING ALWAYS, AND PRAYING WITHOUT CEASING There is a fair bit of scripture in this message. It deals with vengeance, injustice, persecution and rejoicing and we look at a lot of verses dealing with those matters. PART 1 ...read more

    Revelation 6 talks of God's vengeance upon the evil of this world. But it also speaks as if there's no hope of repentance for those who are mentioned here. Can that really be true? Can man reach a point where he can't repent?

     | 11,218 views

    The cornerstone of Christian worship is The Lord's Supper. But sometimes this foundational part of church is buried by other stuff. What could bury Communion and how can we avoid that danger?

It was made of pure white marble weighing 24,500 pounds and had been dragged through the streets of Washington from the railroad station to the site.
