     | 4,461 views

    This sermon is basically a defense of God's holy word. Our faith is not blind because we have a love letter from God explaining in great detail who He is and what kind of relationship we are to have with our Creator.

    IS OUR FAITH BLIND – PART I Atheists Question: Isn’t faith in God blind? After all, what evidence is there that a God you cannot touch or see actually exists? You might begin speaking to atheists by mentioning the fact that the Bible is a personal love letter from God in which our ...read more

    The church must stop being reactive and always playing defense to satan’s attacks! It’s high time the church mounted, an offensive attack and became proactive against the never ending attack of the accuser!

    A look at Thomas’s doubts and the reason for them with a warning about unbelief in our own lives.

    We have all at some time probably cynically said about something “I’ll believe it when I see it”, with the implication that we will not believe it until it is seen.

    Message focuses on the sovereignty of God, divine retribution on nations that oppress God's people, and God's vindication of his elect. This word of comfort and assurance has timeless application for God's people of all ages.

    Life is not fair! The godly suffer unjustly, and the wicked seem to get away with their evil deeds. Unbelievers point to all the pain and suffering in the world and defiantly say, “If God is a just, loving God, why does he allow war? Why does he allow disease and famine? Where was he during the ...read more

    Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Right Place At The Right Time

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 7, 2021
     | 2,405 views

    Paul's preaching in the synagogues and the markets of Athens drew the attention of the city's philosophers and intellectuals who invited him to speak at the Areopagus. When the Gospel is proclaimed, it has the power to win souls for the glory of God (Hebrews 4:12).

    Paul's mission to carry the Gospel to the nations continued while he was in Athens. Even though persecution had driven him out of one area, the LORD in His Sovereignty placed Paul right where He wanted him, and that was at the intellectual capital of the Roman Empire, the city of Athens. ...read more
