    In Luke’s gospel (12:35) we find the first extended teaching on the Second Coming of Jesus and here he warns his followers to be ready. In these verses we are given three distinct characteristics of a “good waiter.”

    A Study of the Book of Luke Sermon # 34 Are You Ready? Luke 12:35-44 We have all seen and laughed at the Ameritrades commercial that shows the lazy husband reclining on the coach as his wife tells him to do one thing that day – ...read more

    Just like there are no longer forbidden foods, the gospel is not withheld from you--though you are a Gentile.

    Fried Rattlesnake (Acts 10) Do you think St. Peter ever ate a snake? Acts chapter 10-11 it says that God showed Peter a vision of a hillbilly banquet coming down out of heaven (this is how some folks prove that heaven is East Texas, but I am not so sure). Anyway, it says there’s a snake on the ...read more

    What Is The Gospel

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 14, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,275 views

    The gospel is the message, the good news, that God’s promise of salvation has been accomplished. It’s the message that those who have been in exile from God’s presence are to be brought back. It’s the message that for those who believe in Jesus Christ, wh

So the question I want to ask today is this: what do you understand by that word Gospel? Is it just the life of Jesus, like a potted history? Or is it ...read more

    A message that tells us to be alert to what Satan is doing to oppress us.

    Facing the Roaring Lion I Peter 5:8-10 "Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom" -- a familiar saying in our country. We remember from Pearl Harbor what it's like to get caught off guard.
