    Heaven Is A Party Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jun 24, 2013
     | 7,003 views

    Heaven is party-central, and the party starts now, but doesn't get into full gear till we get to Heaven, or when Jesus returns--whichever comes first.

    When Biblical writers speak of Heaven, they often use figurative language. I suspect the reason is that they’re trying to express heavenly realities with the limitations of human language. Trying to describe Heaven to us is like trying to describe this world to an unborn child. And so ...read more

    Isaiah the prophet gives us an invitation to break free from the life of indifference and into wanting the thing of God.

    Invitation to the thirsty Isaiah 55:1-13 Introduction- Last week we took a look at the word of God about judging others and what God’s word really says about it. It was one of those messages that brought some comment. We could if we are not careful, take God’s word out of context ...read more

    Just days prior to the crucifixion, Jesus spoke to His disciples regarding the events surrounding the end times. While we cannot predict the day, nor the hour, we can see the stage being set for His return! Jesus revealed much for us in this passage.

    Signs of the End (Part 2) Matthew 24: 3-14 In our last study we began to consider what is commonly known as the Olivet Discourse. Just prior to His crucifixion, Jesus spoke at length concerning the events that will lead up to His second coming. Some who hold to an Amillennialist theology believe ...read more

    Beginning To Sink

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Aug 19, 2013
     | 7,453 views

    The story of Peter walking on the water and beginning to sink provides excellent lessons for us to prevent us from beginning to sink in the trouble waters of life.

    There are two sights in human life which fill the heart with profound sorrow. The first sight is that of a person who has sunk amid the troubled waters of life. It is the one whose once youthful face is no more because of rough, hard living. It is the person who had a good raising, who wore good ...read more

    A sermon about returning to God when we find ourselves off base.

    "Seek the Lord" Isaiah 55:1-9 The older I get the more I become aware of how short this life really is. When we are in our teens, twenties and even thirties it can seem as if we have all the time in the world to waste.

    Everyday we have a choice as Christians to live as God changed us (seated in the heavenly realms with Christ) or live like the way we used to as enemies of God.

    This morning, we are to worship God with songs, prayer, His Word, our offerings, and with our fellowship. For Christians, to be in church on a Sunday morning is the thing to do; But, what about later today or tomorrow? How will we really live? We live our lives without really asking that question, ...read more

    I Don't Have A Prayer

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Jan 18, 2021
     | 1,628 views

    Sometimes we have trouble praying. What shall we do? This lesson was motivated by the Daniel Henderson article, “Four Reasons You Don’t Feel Like Praying and Four Keys to Breakthrough,” at Strategic Renewal.com/four-reasons-you-dont-feel-like-praying-and-four-keys-to-breakthrough/

    1. Frontline Prayer: Richard Dehaan told of a soldier who was doing sentry duty on the front line in WWI.
