    Probably one of the most messed up Christian concepts is that of heaven, our final destination, which is nothing like the pictures created by our church traditions!

    Heaven – it is not what most people think Illustration The two professors stood nose to nose as they shouted at one another. “The craters on the moon are the result of volcanism,” cried one. “You are an idiot,” screamed the other, “the craters on the moon are ...read more

    Today we are going to look at a different aspect of God's grace. God has a grace that saves us, but He also has a grace that He shows to everyone--whether they will go to heaven or not. It is called common grace.

    Purpose: To explain how God's demonstrates His grace to all. Aim: I want the listener to marvel at God's goodness and never take it for granted. INTRODUCTION: When we think about God's grace our minds usually go to John Newton's words: "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like ...read more

As I pulled up to the church on this particular night, I ...read more
