    When will wars come to an end? When will all people live in harmony? This sermon gives us the answer.

    My assignment today is to talk about peace. So naturally I think of war. It seems that humans are very keen on war. In many ways, it is our thing. We talk peace and make war. In the past 6,000 years of recorded history only 200 of those have been peaceful. It is estimated that between 90 and 95 % ...read more

    We are like John the Baptist. It is our responsibility to introduce Jesus, just like John did. This evil world needs Jesus more than ever.

    In Terms Of Eternity

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 11, 2023
     | 1,508 views

    The Bible teaches that after death (Hebrews 9:27), we will face judgment and enter eternity, either heaven or hell. Consider what that means and how it should motivate us to spread the Gospel in these last days.

    The Bible teaches that from the moment we are conceived, we are destined to live forever (Psalm 61:7; Daniel 12:2; Matthew 25:46: Romans 2:7). The LORD God Almighty saw fit to create us, give us meaning, a purpose, and conscience to use for His glory and our benefit (Psalm 73:25-28; Romans ...read more

     | 2,627 views

    The original disciples were no different than us in their pride until they fully understood what Jesus did for them AND only then did the commitment make sense.

It was just after the third time he shared that crazy statement about going to Jerusalem to die. They knew he was just trying to scare off the ...read more
