God Is Love: That's Why He Created Hell

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 18, 2021

This is a revision of a sermon I posted over a year ago on another website. The subject matter is more timely than ever considering the rapid descent into evil and chaos we have witnessed recently. Come quickly, Lord Jesus.

There are some things that are getting more hard to find as the days draw nearer to the LORD'S return, such as ethical politicians, intelligent leftists, happy liberals, competent leadership, and sound Biblical preaching on the reality and horror of a literal, real place called hell. Now ...read more

Valuable Service

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Aug 22, 2021

There is no retirement in the Christian life. Your calling is active and valuable to the King until your last breath.

If you are still breathing there is time to do great things for God. Not necessary notable things. You may not get applause from your church, your name in the paper or the key to your city, but you can do great things. God's valuation is far different than man's. Matthew 10:42 And ...read more

03 - Life Series

Contributed by Michael Collins on Aug 23, 2021

This is the 3rd message in a series called Perspectives and this message is about looking at life with God's perspective, rather than with our own.

Hello and welcome back to another message on ‘Perspectives!’ This is the third message, and today I am dealing with the topic of ‘life’ itself. If you were to say to me, “How is life?” I’d say it’s wonderful, and for that I give praise to God. The question, “What is life?” has been asked by so many ...read more

Casey

Contributed by Michael Mays on Aug 27, 2021

While serving at a church in middle Tennessee, I was emailed out of the blue by a young woman names Casey (named change for privacy), who was looking for answers. This sermon is a restructuring of my response to her.

Casey Introduction--Casey’s Story (Saturday, September 28): ?“Hello. My name is Casey. Let me start by letting you know a little about myself as far as religious belief. Growing up I was raised to believe that God and Jesus were our saviors. I went to a Baptist church and was even baptized. As I ...read more

Much is said about hell, but very few knows where it is! some speculate - do you know where hell is? -exactly where? the Bible does! You must be able to adequately and convincingly prove its location, through many verses.

Why Christ Is Insulted And Mohammed Is Honoured

Contributed by Michael Stark on May 25, 2014

A religion without a saviour that has suffered cannot endure insults to win those who mock. A religion that cannot bear insults must bear the impossible load of upholding the honour of one who did not give his life for others.

“Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Beware of men, for they will deliver you over to courts and flog you in their synagogues, and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them ...read more

Are All Sparrows Equal?

Contributed by Mari Larson on Jun 15, 2014

Bad things do happen to good people. In Matthew 10, Jesus warns the disciples what will happen to them on their mission and then he reminds them that they were, are, and will be precious to God!

It is clearly in our nature to rate and rank others. When Jesus tells us today that we are of more value than sparrows, we’re probably not surprised, but we may wonder about the hierarchy of creation. We’re worth more than sparrows, and sparrows are certainly worth more than ...read more
