The Music Of Heaven

Contributed by Glenn Dale Pease on Aug 29, 2014

The book of Revelation has a host of happy hymns of harmony as part of the heavenly scene. Poems of praise are part of paradise. Joyful songs of jubilation to Jesus are a major part of this revelation about heaven.

THE MUSIC OF HEAVEN based on Rev.15:1-8 By Glenn Pease Most of us are not gifted in the realm of music. Many of us feel pathetic in our ability to sing, and even more so with our ability to produce music. We can easily envy those to whom it comes easy.

Down But Not Out

Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 24, 2020

We enter the Kingdom through trials. This is pictured in the Gates of Pearl of New Jerusalem. Pearls are the result of irritation and the secreting of a grace-like substance that transforms the irritation into a pearl. Paradise is entered by trials!

Man’s Privilege And Duty In The Garden. Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 9, 2018

Man was made outside of the garden; because it says here that after God had formed him, he “put him into the garden:” he was made from the common dust that accumulated upon the ground, not of paradise-dust.

The Seven Words From The Cross

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Mar 16, 2004

The Seven Words of Jesus from the Cross are a wonderful commentary in his own words of Forgiveness, Salvation, Love, Atonement, Suffering, Victory and Security.

The Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ is the corner stone of our faith. It is the chosen symbol of the Christian faith. Thank God, we see it now as an empty cross because the seeming tragedy for good and apparent victory for evil was overturned by the power and purposes of God into the triumph of ...read more

Sweat For Pay Not Pay To Sweat

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Sep 16, 2018

Has our quest to overcome the curse cursed us worse?

Be Fruitful Series

Contributed by Jonathan Giles on Jun 27, 2022

The divine design is for man to steward creation. Nothing's changed.

The Lord was not mistaken when he put man in the Garden of Eden and he said, 'tend and keep it'. The divine design of creation is perfect. For all the problems we have, the answer is to return to the Lord and His ways. The word says covetousness is idolatry. (Colossians 3:5) We ...read more

Remember Me (Whose Line Is It?) Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 11, 2003

The story of the thief on the cross is one of the most powerful in all the Gospels. But it is possible to get some wrong impressions from what this teaches us.

OPEN: A minister was talking to a professing Christian and asked him if he was active in his local Church. The man responded, "No, but the dying thief wasn’t active in a local Church and he was still accepted". The minister then asked if the man had been baptized. He said, "No, ...read more

The River Leading To The Tree Of Life

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 26, 2021

Sometimes I feel like we are a generation endlessly staring at the screen, watching movies and tv shows, and series, applauding at the entertainment.

"The Danish philosopher, Kierkegaard, tells a parable of a theater where a variety show is proceeding. Each show is more fantastic than the last, and is applauded by the audience. Suddenly the manager comes forward. He apologizes for the interruption, but the theater is on fire, and he begs ...read more

Last Second Salvation Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 2, 2003

“I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.” The story of the thief receiving salvation is the most amazing example of saving faith in the entire Bible. It’s never too late to turn to Christ and even the worst of sinners can be saved at

Last-second Salvation Last Sunday I mentioned that it’s much easier to preach about forgiveness than it is to practice it. This was made very clear to me right after the second service when I was talking to a 9-year-old boy. He had a scratch on his forehead and I asked him if he had gotten into a ...read more

Hope Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jun 27, 2021

Christmas is a time to reflect upon the height and depth and breath of God’s love and the lengths that He will go to to show us His love. Christmas is a time to remember that God doesn’t demand that we love Him but gives us the choice to love Him.

In the beginning was … nothing? A “formless void” (Genesis 1:1)? Yet the Bible says a wind (the breath of God) swept over the surface of the "water" (Genesis 1:2) so there something there ... maybe everything there … the particles ... all the molecules, all of the “substance” of the ...read more
