    Tomorrow Is Not Yours

    Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on May 23, 2022
     | 3,904 views

    Yesterday is a memory. Today is in your hands. Tomorrow is not yours. The breath in you is not yours. Your life is in God's hand; you are alive because the breath of God sustains you.

    TEXT: Luke 12:16-21 "Then he told them a story: “A rich man had a fertile farm that produced fine crops. He said to himself, ‘What should I do? I don’t have room for all my crops. ’Then he said, ‘I know! I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I’ll have room enough to store all my ...read more

    A Warning That Bears Repeating

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 10, 2022
     | 1,985 views

    As the days draw nearer for the Lord's promised return, more people are choosing the wealth of the world rather than taking care of the most precious commodity they have, and that is their soul. Nothing of this world is worth the loss of eternal life with Christ.

    Some time ago, I watched a series of programs that the BBC (British Broadcasting Company) had produced which centered on a variety of individuals who had encountered the Lord Jesus Christ at some point in their lives yet walked away with nothing more than faint curiosity, some conversation, or ...read more

    Borrowing From Tomorrow

     | 2,691 views

    The Scriptures tell us, "Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring." (Proverbs 27:1). Too many people in these last days forget that they may not have tomorrow. The time to be prepared to meet God is now.

    All of us at one time have put things off until the last minute, such as the writing of a research paper for school or studying for exams. We put off important decisions at our place of work, or filing tax returns, buying your family Christmas presents on or near Christmas Eve, or asking that ...read more

    What Ever Happened To Hell?

     | 6,163 views

    Sometimes we hear about the “Endangered species” list. That is, there are certain kinds of birds, fish, animals, and insects that die and become few in numbers because of hunting or natural disasters.

    When this happens, they are placed on the “Endangered Species” list so that they will not become extinct. Once they are placed on this list, everything that is imaginable is done to preserve them. This is good, because if they were not placed on this list, soon these birds, fish, insects and ...read more

    7 Facts About Hell: A Guided Tour Of Hell

    What is hell? I prayed about this topic, just seeking God’s guidance and indeed the Lord indicated that it would be wise to study such a place, even though such a place is best left forgotten, in the end.

    He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Rich Man And Lazarus) # 18

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022
     | 1,920 views

    This parable is different from most parables because it conveys to us a number of vivid contrasts, such as:

    • Riches and Poverty • Heaven and Hell • Compassion and Indifference • Inclusion and Exclusion As we teach this parable, I need to mention that there are some who refuse to teach Luke 16:19-31 as a parable. Their objection is for two reasons: (1) It is the only one of the parables in which ...read more

    What In Hell Do You Want?

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 23, 2022
     | 4,318 views

    Eternity without God should lead us to shout, "There is nothing in hell that I want!" Yet, far too many of those living about us act as though there is something wonderful about hell. If that were not so, wouldn't we seek to please the Lord? There is nothing in hell that I want.

    “There was a rich man who dressed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. But at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus whose body was covered with sores, who longed to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. In addition, the dogs came and licked his sores. “Now the poor ...read more

    Twenty-Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time, C-- Lazarus And Therapy Dogs

    Someone has said that this is the only prayer in the Bible addressed to a saint that was not answered.

    We heard today from Luke 16:21, which says “Dogs even used to come and lick his sores.” Admittedly, the grammatical construction in the Greek can be translated as “worst of all" dogs would lick his sores. However, the ancients knew when a dog licks a person's sores or wounds, healing ...read more

    This is the only parable which actually names a character. What does this mean?

    The Parable of Lazarus and the rich Man Luke 16:19-31 The “Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man” is one of Jesus’ most well-known parables. It has been used by those who would show that Jesus taught about hell. Jesus taught that hell and eternal punishment were real. There are those who try to ...read more

    A sermon about the opportunity to be blessed by God by blessing others.

    This sermon is based in large part on a sermon by Rev. Tom Long given in 2016 called "The Open Window" “Don’t Miss It” Luke 16:19-31 What are we to make of this parable? What do you think Jesus wants us to get out of it? The word “parable” is kind of hard to define. It means a lot ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,029 views

    Two men in the bible are called Lazarus . The interesting thing about these two men is that both were dead. Dead men don’t speak; they are silent – or are they? Both men spoke from the grave in a very special way. Both are unique. We look at both but mainly Lazarus from John 11.

    THE SILENT MAN WHO SPOKE NOT A WORD – Message John 11 LAZARUS Part 1 THE CHARACTERS OF JOHN’S GOSPEL Today we are looking at a very interesting but important episode in the Gospel of John. It takes up most of one chapter and a bit of the next. The character we are studying is known as ...read more

    "is Hell Real Or Merely A Terrible Dream?"

    Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Aug 8, 2022

     | 3,470 views

    This message raises some thought-provoking questions: What would you do if you were God and your prized creation was in rebellion? After death, do the souls of wicked people go to a place of torment called Hell to later get resurrected and stand before God in the last judgment?
