    Contributed by Steve Shepherd on Aug 2, 2009
    based on 96 ratings
     | 41,903 views

    In our text, let’s consider what the imperishable Word of God produces in people: 1- Purification 2- Love 3- Eternity

    INTRO.- Many good things don’t last long, do they? A delicious meal. A good pair of shoes. A favorite pair of jeans. A favorite car or truck.

    In our text, I see two great sins of the godless: 1- They change God’s grace 2- They deny the Lord Jesus

    INTRO.- ILL.- A church deacon was trying to impress a class of boys the importance of living the Christian life. He said, "Why do people call me a Christian?" After a moment’s pause, one youngster said, "Maybe it’s because they don’t really know you." Can a person be one way on the outside and ...read more

    The Rapture: Taking A Closer Look

    Contributed by Chris Workman on Jun 20, 2001
    based on 145 ratings
     | 11,428 views

    An exposition of the two primary texts from which the doctrine of the rapture is drawn, distinguishing what the Bible actually says from common ideas.

    The rapture is an intriguing subject and at the forefront of much Christian thought. What is it?

That much is taught very plainly in 1 ...read more

    “For God loved so much…” “that He gave…” Romans 8:32 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
