     | 2,538 views

    The resurrection of Jesus is our hope for eternity. All Scripture references (except where noted) is from the NASB.

    The resurrection of Jesus is our hope for eternity. A week ago last Friday, Mr. Merle (a prominent man in our congregation) went to be with Lord. We buried his earthy remains last Thursday. There was hope in that funeral service because Jesus said: John 14:19b … because I live, you will live ...read more

    The Thessalonians 1 Of 13 (1 Of 2)

     | 1,486 views

    The record of the Thessalonian church being established can be found in Acts 17:1-9.

    This church was established on Paul’s second missionary journey. It was when Paul and Silas had just left Philippi and passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia to arrive at Thessalonica. Many of the people who heard Paul preach came to believe in the gospel that he preached. The unbelieving Jews ...read more

    The Thessalonians # 3

    It was about nine o’clock at night. A man dashed into the doctor’s office in a highly nervous state and explained to the doctor he had been in a very bad state all day.

    The doctor, in his best professional manner, asked if anything had happened to shock or upset his nerves. “No,” the man answered, “unless it was a letter I received this morning.” He showed the doctor a letter which stated in part, “If you don’t stop running around with my wife, I am going to ...read more

    Many of us have learned to categorize our days as GOOD DAYS or BAD DAYS! To listen to some folks talk, they seem to have more bad days than good days!

    Illus: Someone said that YOU KNOW IT IS GOING TO BE A BAD DAY WHEN: • You call suicide prevention and they put you on hold • Your birthday cake collapses from the weight of the candles • Your twin sister forgot your birthday • Your horn goes off accidentally and remains stuck as you follow a group ...read more

    Most of us are compassionate, caring people in many ways.

    Our compassion can be seen clearly in our daily lives. For example: • When we see someone in danger we try to warn them • When we see someone discouraged, we try to encourage them • When we see someone needing some assistance, we try to assist them • When we see someone who is hurt, we try to help ...read more

    Eschatology 3 Of 16 Our Glorified Bodies (2 Of 2)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 13, 2022
     | 1,704 views

    In the last two sermons, we have been talking about the rapture of the church. I want to remind you again, the rapture is different from the second coming of Christ.

    • At the Second Coming, the Lord will literally come to the earth and set up His kingdom on earth for a thousand years. • When the rapture of the church takes place, the Lord will not come back to the earth, but the church will be caught up to meet Him in the air. Look at 1 Thess 4:17 “Then we ...read more

     | 4,052 views

    Resurrection Day Message, last sermon in the series "The Believer's Hope." Like Jesus, we too can have the victory over death. All Scripture references are from the NASB.

    The pyramids of Egypt are famous because they contain the mummified bodies of ancient Egyptian kings. Westminster Abbey in London is renowned, because in it rest the bodies of English nobles and notables. Mohammed’s tomb (medina, Saudi Arabia) is noted for the stone coffin and the bones which it ...read more

    The Parable of the Good Samaritan show us the three approaches to like- beating people up, passing people up and helping people up

    THREE APPROACHES TO LIFE Luke 10:25-37 From the Book, “Parables Found Only in Luke” bmarcaurelle@charter.net Last week we saw that the religion of the Scribes and Pharisees lacked love for people. They looked down on people socially, racially and religiously. This was strange because the Old ...read more

    Jacob-Finding True Love--And More Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,736 views

    Jacob had traveled many miles from his home. He finally reached his uncle's land and in an almost "deja vu" moment, found his first true love!

    Introduction: Jacob had stopped near Bethel (Luz), many miles away from his home and family. He had a dream, probably one of the strangest but most striking he would ever know. He woke up, set up a stone as a pillar, and made a contract, so to speak, with God. Now he’s closer to Haran, the land ...read more

    How We Love His Promise Series

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Mar 3, 2022
     | 2,045 views

    He keeps his promises, He answers prayers, he solves problems. But in our experience, there have been times when we weren’t sure about these things. Have you ever wondered, when things go wrong in life, if you can count on God?

    How We Love His Promise John 11:17-44 Introduction Adrian Rogers said, “There is no promise God cannot keep, no prayer God will not answer, and no problem too hard for Him to solve.” That is a great expression of the life of faith in God. He keeps his promises, He answers prayers, he solves ...read more

    Jesus Paid It All

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 4, 2022
     | 6,910 views

    A woman's bank account showed a $50B deficit. Turns out, that's similar to the debt Jesus named in the parable THAT WE OWE! There's only one solution for our huge debt: the precious blood of Christ paid it all. Praise You Jesus!

    JESUS PAID IT ALL 1 Pet. 1:18-20 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: “4 worms in Church" 1. A minister decided to add a visual demonstration about the evil habits of modern society. 2. Four worms were placed into four separate jars. a. 1st - put into a container of alcohol. b. 2nd - put ...read more

    Thermometer Or Thermostat: Which Are You?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 9, 2022
     | 5,446 views

    A thermometer tells how hot or cold something or someone is. It doesn’t try to change its environment. A thermostat, on the other hand, alters the temperature. Christians should be thermostats, changing their neighborhoods, families, work, etc.

    THERMOMETER OR THERMOSTAT: WHICH ARE YOU? Mt. 5:16 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A Pastor told one of his faithful church members, “Mrs. Smith, I appreciate your devotion. You are present at all the services!” 2. Mrs. Smith: “Yes, it’s such a relief, at the end of a long, hard week, to come to ...read more

    "Peter, Feed My Sheep” (2 Of 21)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022
     | 2,206 views

    Jesus told Peter, "Feed my sheep." Every housewife can relate somewhat to this, as she feeds her family. Also most housewives know the value of a well balanced diet.

    For example, they know they can feed their families peanut butter sandwiches every now and then, but if they did this all the time: • The family would soon dread coming to the table to eat • They would also suffer nutritionally, because this kind of a diet is not going to supply them the nutrition ...read more

     | 1,252 views

    Most Bible preachers do not like to select just one verse of scripture and preach on it.

    Why? There are several reasons. (1) Often when preachers select one verse they will take it out of context. That is, in order to properly interpret scriptures we need to know: • What comes before the verse • What comes after the verse • Why it was written • To whom it was written These are ...read more

    What Happens When We Fail To Trust God

    Learning how to wait on God. Be patience while God is working.

    It is my examination that the contents listed here in verses 15-30, conveys the conviction that this man Jacob had a problem when it came down to trusting God. The basis for that conclusion is based on the facts that here was a man, along with his mother, had conspired, schemed and tricked both ...read more
