    based on 127 ratings
     | 7,304 views

    There is no amount of works that can get you a pass into heaven. It is only by the blood of Christ, applied to a contrite heart,that we may be saved.

    There is a great deal of differemce between the appearance of righteousness and the actual condition. Do you understand that pride is a major obsticle to salvation? The parable of the Pharisee and the publican is a good illustration of the difference between pride and true righteousness. The Word ...read more

    No More Sea

    A sermon describing why John on the Isle Of Patmos describing the new Heavens and New Earth said there was no more sea. Why No More Sea??

    I believe to understand what John is talking about we need to lay a little ground work. You see when God created the Heavens and the Earth, He created a perfect place for man. We find when man willfully disobeyed God and ate of the forbidden tree in Gen. 3:1-21, that God placed a curse upon ...read more

    "He presented another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field; and this is smaller than all seeds; but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest ...read more

    "The Narrow-Gated Way"

    based on 42 ratings
     | 13,254 views

    Jesus said that many will travel the broad gate to destruction ... but few will enter the narrow gate to Heaven. This message deals with the broad and narrow way.

    “The Narrow-Gated Way” Luke 13:22-30 & Matthew 7:13-14 INTRODUCTION: Read Luke 13:22-30. 13:22 – What had Jesus been teaching? 13:3,5 They thought this was pretty harsh preaching. This wasn’t an “easy believe-ism”. Jesus wasn’t preaching a very popular message. If He kept this up, there ...read more

    You can be a good person and still die lost and go to hell. You can be a bad person and die saved and go to heaven.

    LUKE 18:9-14 “A GOOD MAN LOST – A BAD MAN SAVED” A) When Jesus preached and taught among men on earth, He found that there were some men which trusted in themselves that they were righteous! * It was to them that He spoke this parable ... And if He preached in America today, He would need ...read more

    James wants us to learn that it doesn’t matter what your status in life is – it matters what your status in heaven is!

    “Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation, but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of the field he will pass away. For no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes. So the rich man also will ...read more

    based on 24 ratings
     | 3,570 views

    Our being seated with Christ in heaven is a gift of God’s amazing grace, a present reality, and a declaration of who and whose we are.

    WHERE YOU’RE SEATED MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE Ephesians 2:1-10 1.

    In the ninth chapter of Revelations John decribes an event using the specific hour, day, month, and year. This is amazing considering in heaven there is no measurement of time.

    An Appointed Time Revelations 9:13-21 See: Rev. 9:13-21 In heaven everything is seen from the perspective of eternity. But to put things in perspective for us the reader we see the measurement of time. Mention: Rev. 8:1 for about the space of half an hour Also: Rev. 11:2-3 forty-two months and a ...read more
