    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jan 4, 2021
     | 4,760 views

    This sermon identifies and discusses major STRENGTHS of the PRE-TRIBULATION position in eschatology. The series pursues the question: Will Christians go through the tribulation period. Rather than providing a quick answer the process digs into Scripture.

    We are in a study of end-time prophecy trying to answer one question: Will Christians go through the tribulation period? We are now examining the three prominent answers given to the question by futurists: (1) The Pre-tribulation position is that Christians will be raptured before the seven-year ...read more

    A Proven Strategy For Increasing Your Happiness Series

    based on 14 ratings
     | 4,530 views

    "You and I were created for joy, and if we miss it, we miss the reason for our existence.” The findings of "Positive Psychology" researchers are remarkably similar to what the Bible teaches about finding happiness.

    "You and I were created for joy, and if we miss it, we miss the reason for our existence.” That’s what it said in the book I pulled from the bookstore shelf, You Gotta Keep Dancin’. The subtitle really intrigued me. It said, "In the midst of life’s hurts, you can choose joy!" Well I wasn’t very ...read more

     | 6,256 views

    Children are a divine blessing. Contemporary views depreciate the blessing of children, but even a cursory review of the Word reveals that children are a blessing from the hand of the Lord. Children are given to those with whom He is pleased.

    When Jesus said “Do not judge, or you too will be judged,” he did not absolve us from the responsibility to discern between good and evil.

    An interesting thing happened during the opening worship of the 213th General Assembly. As the service began, the congregation stood to sing the first anthem. A great parade of banners, each representing one of our presbyteries, made its way down the center aisle. As the procession reached the ...read more

    A response to the question, "What of those who have never heard the Gospel?" God is just and God is gathering to Himself and for His glory a great harvest of souls.

    “You have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. Do you suppose, O man—you who ...read more

    Change will always require stretching, but that’s where power to Breakfree from status quo is generated. No change that is positive and profitable comes by trying to hold steady when God is saying you should stir things up.

    What My Wife Taught Me

    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,031 views

    The message is an exposition of Paul's instruction concerning wives, reflecting over fifty years of marriage. Our world has divided into warring tribes and factions, and the conflict has entered into the marriage relationship, which dishonours God.

    “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.” [1] It is tragically sad ...read more
