    A Costly Memorial Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Oct 7, 2023
     | 1,867 views

    As you think about what Jesus did for you on the cross, consider making a costly memorial, and start by giving Him yourself. Sure, people will criticize, but Jesus won’t. He’ll commend you before all your critics someday.

    In Great Britain, a butcher specified in his will that he be cremated and that at his memorial service the organ was to play Cole Porter’s song, “Every Time We Say Goodbye.” Well, he got half his wish. He was cremated, but the organist brought the wrong Cole Porter Sheet Music. Instead of playing, ...read more

    What is the lake of fire and what is the first and second death? We look into that. A further look into the sea giving up its dead. If you read this and are not saved, you do not want to end up at the great white throne and then in the lake of fire. Jesus died for you. Repent and turn to Him.

    The Red Sea that stood between the Israelites and deliverance was both real and frightening. But often just as real and just as frightening are the "Red Seas" we encounter in our Christian life.

    THE RED SEAS OF LIFE "By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned." Hebrews 11:29 "When Moses and his people from Egypt’s land did flee" Their enemies behind them, and in front of them the sea, God raised the ...read more

    God has given us so much! This sermon challenges us to take action in our world as a sign of God’s kingdom breaking in, and as a response of thankfulness to God.

    When I look at the wonderful variety of fruit and vegetables that we can grow, I find myself saying, “Thank you God!” A few years ago in Portugal I remember looking out to sea and being amazed at the sight of the sun setting over the ocean and saying, “Thank you God”; and I remember the first time ...read more

    Have you ever stopped to consider how God demonstrates His love to us? Most people assume that God loves us just because He created us, but there is much more evidence. God’s love involved a supreme sacrifice in His Son, Jesus Christ. It must have grieved
