Have You Left Jesus In The Church House?

Contributed by Gino Cascieri on Nov 30, 2001

This sermon brings out how often times as Christians we rush out of church so fast that we leave Jesus behind.

Good Friday Revisited

Contributed by John Gullick on Apr 11, 2001

The Doctrine Of Annihilation

Contributed by Ron Callen on Mar 9, 2007

In the Old Testament, God instructed His people to completely destroy their enemies. But now we are living in the day of grace. In the sermon today we will see that Jesus came not to destroy men’s lives but to save them.

THE DOCTRINE OF ANNIHILATION Love is a great motivator of people. It is also what motivates so much of what God does for us. John 3:16 clearly tells us and teaches us For God so loved the world… Why did He give His only begotten Son? Because He so loved. But there are other things that ...read more
