Sermons on Reality Of Death:

Pentecost Series

Contributed by Tim Smith on May 28, 2015

Pentecost requires us to make a fundamental decision about two things: what is reality or our worldview and how am I going to live in the light of Pentecost?

Pentecost Acts 2:1-11 Pentecost is one of the greatest stories in all of Scripture. It’s the stuff of a Hollywood thriller with the violent rushing winds, divided tongues of fire, the superhero abilities of spontaneously hearing and speaking in foreign languages; fire and smoky mist; young ...read more

Role Reversal

Contributed by Norris Harris I on Jan 1, 2003

This message treats how the quality of life on the other side of death shall be reversed by the soverieng grace of God. It looks at the high becoming low, the rich becoming poor, the diseased becoming whole. On the Other Side of Death is A Role Reversal!

Earthquake In Nepal

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 6, 2015

Sermon the week after the earthquake in Nepal in April 2015. Does God cause all earthquakes or are some just the result of an aging world in a death spiral? How does a Christian respond to 6,000 deaths in one disaster?

We were shocked at the loss of Bob. Last Saturday, April 24, 2015, there was a magnitude 7.8 earthquake in Nepal. Here ...read more

The Sixth Commandment: Thou Shall Not Murder! Series

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 29, 2022

The Ten Commandments tell us that we should not commit murder. There is a difference between killing and murder. We are watching the death of democracy in America. The womb of the mother should be a sanctuary of hope, not a death chamber. This is the law of God, and it does not change.

Turn in your Bibles to Exodus 20:13, as we continue our sermon series on the Ten Commandments with this simple statement, "Thou shall do no murder". Say that with me. "Thou shall do no murder". I doubt there are any gangsters or professional hitmen reading this right now. Yet ...read more

Christmas Makes For Pure Christians Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 15, 2021

The reality of Christmas is that God’s grace does not produce Christians who are cavalier about sin. My message in three words is simple: Don’t drift downstream.

It just seems the holidays are meant for laziness. The week between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day is meant for sleeping in and for resting. Yet, I want to challenge your message during this “week of rest” - The reality of Christmas is that God’s grace does not produce Christians who are ...read more

Know that life comes from God and that there is judgement after death, but Jesus has already settled that problem for us.

These are the words spoken by Jesus. They are not words that an ordinary man would say. • No one dare to say he is from God, and that if you believe Him you have eternal life. • No one would say that when the dead hears His voice, they will live. Today if someone goes around saying ...read more
