    Saved From Hell

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Aug 6, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,291 views

    Many pastors do not want to preach on HELL fearing they’ll not appear relevant. It’s pressure from the culture to not speak anything negative. Apparently we have begun to deny hell. There’s an assumption that everybody’s going to make it to heaven somehow

    Opening illustration: Video of ‘HELL’ from center of the earth. Introduction: Many pastors do shy away from the topic of everlasting damnation. "It’s out of fear they’ll not appear relevant. It’s pressure from the culture to not speak anything negative. I believe we’ve begun to deny hell. There’s ...read more

    God’s abiding intent is that His glory should fill the whole earth as it has filled His house (2:14) & that man should know His glory fully. For this to occur the false knowledge the Babylonian character & aspirations epitomize must be removed.

    Habakkuk 2:14-15-20 SIN’S SENTENCE CONTINUED We have discovered in verse 14 that God’s abiding intent, His overarching aim, is that His glory should fill the whole earth as it has filled His house, (Num. 14:21; Ps. 57:5,11; 72:19; Ex. 40:34-35; 1 Kings 8:11) and that man should know His glory ...read more

    In Everything Give Thanks

    based on 14 ratings
     | 47,769 views

    Thankfulness is so much more than a comparison of our own situation to someone else’s. Thankfulness is so much more than having enough food to eat, a nice, warm home to live in, good health, or financial security, because each of those circumstances can b

    To live without Christ is to live without hope.

    Introduction. Some people are, by nature, optimistic. It is their natural temperament. Others are, by the same token, pessimistic. You often get what you expect. One man sees a rose bush as in terms of thorns; another sees only the roses. One man sees the dark side of every cloud, while the ...read more

    The Finite And The Infinite

    Contributed by Ron Hietsch on Sep 11, 2014
     | 3,878 views

    Many see the Bible as a rule book – what do I need to do? It is not about what we need to do it is about what Christ has done for us. Christ has unlimited –that is infinite – forgiveness available for us.

    . Forgiving someone can be especially difficult for many of us. Peter thought he was being generous with seven times. After all some of the Rabbis taught that one needed to forgive the same sin only three times. Peter was, in his way, trying to be obedient to Jesus who said that our ...read more

    God's Covenant With Noah

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 2, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,797 views

    The flooding of the earth had accomplished its purpose. Noah and his family exited the Ark to witness the chaotic effects and consequences that the world's disobedience brought upon itself. This was a new opportunity for man to renew their relationship with God. Sadly, it did not last long.

    The Ark had kept Noah, his family, and the animals on board safe for over a year as the flood waters receded around the world, forever changing the geography, atmosphere, relations with the animal kingdom, and the life span of Noah's sons and wives, all commissioned by God to repopulate the ...read more

     | 943 views

    The church was established by the Lord Jesus Christ to proclaim the message of salvation to a lost and dying world. We need to remember that and repent of proclaiming anything else.

    Ignorance is not listed as a gift of the Spirit. It is vital in these last days to know why you believe in the message of the Gospel and what makes up the essential doctrines of the faith. The Gospel is constantly being attacked by the forces of evil each passing day.Too many Christians have no ...read more

    The Church Of Laodecia: Death By Contentment (Revelation 3:14-22)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 19, 2024
     | 909 views

    The last of the seven churches listed in Revelation 2-3 had the reputation of being the church that made Jesus sick due to its religious indifference. Heed the lesson.

    The downward slide that started in Ephesus with the loss of their “First Love” culminated with the total apostasy found in the last church mentioned in Revelation, Chapters 2 and 3, the church located in the city of Laodecia. The city had been founded in 253 B.C. by Antiochus II and named after ...read more

    There are times that I have thought to myself, that makes perfect sense! And then there are times that I thought to myself, never in 100 years would have I figured or thought to do that. But yet, it was exactly what needed to be done!

    It's all Good! God is good all the time and all the time God is good! What's good you may ask? All of it! Absolutely everything, as long as God is involved in the details. That should really be the Christians mindset, shouldn't it? Does everyone know what an aura is? 1. An invisible emanation ...read more
