     | 1,216 views

    Today could have been the last morning that someone may have eaten their last breakfast. Today could be the last sermon that someone will have heard preached. Today could be the last day someone will spend on this earth.

    Today could have been the last morning that someone may have eaten their last breakfast. Today could be the last sermon that someone will have heard preached. Today could be the last day someone will spend on this earth. Not many preachers speak on hell anymore. I want to warn those that do not ...read more

    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

    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

     | 3,198 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?

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (Luke 16:19-22) (19) "There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:" (20) "And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was ...read more

    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

     | 3,835 views

    If we listen to the word of God and trust in His promises, we will have a happy, fruitful life even if everything around us is going to pieces.

    Thursday of the 2nd Week in Lent 2019 Karma or Compassion? Only St. Luke among the four Gospel writers records this story of the rich man and the poor beggar, Lazarus. A superficial reading of the words may suggest to us that this is an example of the Asian principle of “karma,” where the good or ...read more

    A dream birthed this sermon: LET GOD? Let not your heart be troubled? Let us consider the power of permission?

    Third in a five part series that attempts to answer hard questions about God, the Bible and faith.

    ENGAGE Growing up, I wasn’t particularly opposed to God. In fact, as I look back, I certainly believed there was a God, and for much of my early life I just assumed that since I wasn’t an axe murderer or a thief and that I’d done more good things than bad things in my life that one day I’d go to ...read more

    Hell and Being a Disciple Luke 16: 19-31 Dan Kimball writes, “I am passionate about hell. That sounds odd – but I am not passionate about hell itself, but passionate about studying what it is because of the seriousness of what it is. I am passionate about it as I don’t want ...read more

    Hell is definitely taught in the Bible. The purpose of this message is to inform of the Bible’s teachings about hell
