    The Concept Of Hell! Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 3, 2022
     | 1,462 views

    Hell, in many religious traditions, refers to the domicile, usually beneath the earth, of the unredeemed deceased or the spirits of the damned. From the underworld come dreams, ghosts, and demons, and in its most terrible areas malefactors (reprobates)

    Tom Lowe 2/3/2012 The Concept of Hell! There is no mention of hell in the Old Testament. The Old Testament talks about Sheol, which is a watery underworld where everyone went, whether they were Jew or Gentile, good or bad. In its archaic sense, the term hell refers to the underworld, a deep pit or ...read more

    Rejecting Jesus Or Handling Him With Care

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Apr 12, 2022
     | 2,533 views

    Experiencing rejection is a normal part of life. It happens to all of us. How could a single Palm Sunday Celebration cause the religious leaders to be jealous, and envious of Jesus? What causes men to reject him?

    Sermon: Rejecting Jesus Instead of Handling Him with Care Scripture: Luke 20:9-20 “Now Jesus turned to the people again and told them this story: “A man planted a vineyard, leased it to tenant farmers, and moved to another country to live for several years. 10 At the time of the grape harvest, he ...read more

    The Personification Of Truth Vs. The Pettiness Of Skepticism

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 24, 2022
     | 1,264 views

    The drama of redemption continued as the Lord Jesus, having faced an illegal trial by the religious authorities of Israel, now faced the representative of political authority in Israel, Pontius Pilate, and the conversation he had with the true Authority.

    John 18:28-40 records the probable final conversation that the Lord Jesus has with another person before he was led off to be crucified. He had a dialogue with the Roman governor of the Judean province, Pontius Pilate, and we also see that these two men had opposing agendas. Pilate comes across ...read more

    We Evangelicals are as susceptible to idolatry as are every other religious group. We don't identify our idols as opposed to Christ's rule, but they are idols that cause us to stumble, nevertheless.

    Prayer is not just a religious routine; it is the lifeline of a believer. Jesus taught us in Luke 18:1 that men ought always to pray and not to faint. Consistent prayer is the key to accessing divine power, guidance, and breakthrough.

    What really changes when someone follows Jesus? Is Christianity merely a change of opinion, a moral upgrade, a religious badge? Or does the Gospel promise something far deeper—something radical, something eternal?

    When the men on the ship realized that Jonah was the cause for their serious predicament they asked him, ‘Why have you done this?’ May we as children of God not do anything that will dishonor God and be a hindrance to those outside the church.

    We read in Jonah 1:10, Then the men were terrified. They knew that he was running away from the LORD, because he had told them. They asked Jonah, "Why have you done this?" (GW) The prophet Jonah who received the word of God to go to Nineveh, disobeyed God, and undertook a voyage on a ...read more

    The self-righteous religious rulers of Jesus’ day didn’t want much to do with sinners - but that was precisely the point of Jesus coming to earth! They wouldn’t receive sinners, but Jesus would ~ and He did! Will you?

    How easy is it to loose sight of the goal? I set up a portable basketball goal in the sanctuary to illustrate my point. Mary and Joseph lost Jesus in the midst of doing their religious duties? Stay focused on the goal.

     | 9,715 views

    If we are not careful, we can be so tangled up in a long string of religious ideas and rules that we wind up confused and discouraged. Many things about Christianity and the Bible are very complicated, the Gospel is not complicated.

    Purpose: To explain the meaning of the Gospel. Aim: I want the listener to commit (or re-commit) his life to spreading the Gospel and rejoicing in the resurrected Christ.
