Easter, The Gospel Of Hope

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Apr 19, 2022

The great question of the Resurrection is not whether it really happened - it did — and the evidence is overwhelming, so that’s not the question. Instead, the great question of the resurrection is - now what?

TITLE: EASTER, THE GOSPEL OF HOPE SCRIPTURE: ST. MARK 16:1-8 One of the great disparities between the first Easter and our Easter today is that today Easter has become that time when we as Christians at least appear to have everything together — and that’s not a bad thing - this is just part of ...read more

You Can't Run From God

Contributed by Jonathan Newlon on Apr 19, 2022

Many people have tried to run from God. Even in the Bible, different folks tried to escape God's will or His presence. In this sermon, we take a look at Jonah and how he tried to escape God's will. As we learn through looking at Jonah and others, you can't run from God.

Introduction I recently had an encounter with a man who wanted to run away from all his troubles.

The Book Of Revelation (Revelation 22)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 20, 2022

In Revelation chapter 21 we talked about the New Heaven and the New Earth that God has prepared for His children.

Christians have no idea of the beauty of this place, if they did they would be talking about it constantly. We learned something that was very interesting in Revelation 21:25 speaking of heaven, we read, And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. ...read more

The Word Of God Is Not Bound

Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 13, 2024

Paul was a prisoner, bound with a chain, but he told Timothy, "But God's Word is NOT bound!" Religions nor Govts can bind the Word; our unworthiness can't bind it, and it can't be stopped!

THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT BOUND 2 Tim. 2:1-5, 8-9 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. It was the 9th of July and the judge, a veteran, was in a good mood as he asked the prisoner, “What are you charged with?” 2.

The Thessalonians # 15a (1 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

This is the last chapter of Paul’s letter to the Christians that he loved and respected at Thessalonica.

As far as we know, this was the last time Paul communicated with them. You can sense the love he had for them as you read this last chapter he wrote to them. There are many things that take place in a church that are not obvious, but one thing should be obvious to all, and that is the love God’s ...read more

The Thessalonians # 1 (1 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

On of the things that hurts the Lord’s work is that sometimes people join the church who are not sincere in their relationship with the Lord.

These join for wrong reasons. For example, if you ask people what kind of church they are looking for, some answers will be: • “Well, I do not really like that church, but I probably will join the one down the street because it is convenient.” • “I am looking for a church with a good youth ...read more

God Isn’t Fair

So This Is Sin Too?

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jun 28, 2022

It says that “whatever is not from faith is sin.” So even that is sin??? So if we are doing something just to go along, even though we are convinced it is wrong, we are sinning? That is what it says.

Alba 6-26-2022 SO THIS IS SIN TOO? Romans 14:22-23 A man went to see a psychiatrist and told him, "I’ve been doing some bad things, Doc, and my conscience is troubling me." The psychiatrist thought about that and then said: "And you want something that will strengthen your will ...read more
