    based on 1 rating
     | 5,144 views

    This chapter discusses the two terrible rulers that are to arise in the end time, the antichrist and his cohort, the world-wide religious leader who will help the antichrist gain and maintain control over the world. The Scripture refers to them as beasts

    Chapter 13 is probably the key to the whole book of Revelation. It covers the antichrist. If a person understands this chapter, then he will understand the whole book of Revelation. This chapter discusses the two terrible rulers that are to arise in the end time, the antichrist and his cohort, ...read more

     | 6,064 views

    This sermon continues Jesus’ Bread of Life Discourse as he attempts to weed out the curious from the commited followers. In this section he attempts to move the Jews from the temporary unsatisfying and temporal physical and religious food that they lived

    Does anyone recognize this food item? Of course, it is a Happy Meal. By a show of hands, how many of you parents have fed your children one of these things? How many of you kids have ever eaten one of these things? We know that a lot of kids eat these because apparently over 2.5 million of them ...read more

    Jesus is again challenged by yet another faction of the religious leadership of His day, this time the Sadducees come calling and they have a ’fool proof’ question that will stump this man they deem as a hinderance to the Kingdom of God...Oh how wrong the

    Luke 20:27-47 Another challenge to Jesus’ teaching October 20, 2010 Set the stage: Jesus has entered Jerusalem and has been proclaimed Messiah by the people and the religious leaders were furious with Him about His refusal to silence their proclamation about Him.

     | 6,638 views

    Jesus called His disciples to sit and eat and be a part of everyone's life including sinners and that made the religious people nervous and anxious. Follow me is the two words given to Levi and the same two words given to us.

    Eating with sinners Luke 5:27-5:32 Luke 5:27-5:32 Prayer- Introduction- We live in a day and age of un-surety. Un-surety that you may put your shoes on in the morning and the undertaker may take them off at the end of the day. Bad things happen to good people everyday. God never promised ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,230 views

    To prove Christ never promised: the rapture, 7-years of tribulation, and 1000-year reign, at His Second Advent. This doctrine is all religious nonsense, conceived by misinterpretation of keys, symbols, and prophecies: in the Old Testament and the Book of Revelation.

    INTRODUCTION Outline. 1. Did He Promise an R71000? Introductory Remarks. 1. In this lesson today, we will be discussing the theme: “Did He Promise an R71000?" This is the eighth lesson in the sermon-series entitled: "Re-digging in Old Wells." There will be many others bearing this ...read more

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 4, 2025
     | 526 views

    There's only one true Jesus, but there are many false concepts of Jesus whom people follow. Do you follow a religious Jesus who requires rituals and works for salvation. Then, think again.

    As we mentioned in our bulletin this morning, we begin a new series of messages today entitled "Meet the Real Jesus?' And I'm going to begin this morning by asking each of you here, "Which Jesus do you follow?" Now, yes, I'm anticipating some questions or comments which ...read more

    Making The Most Of Every Opportunity

     | 2,480 views

    Where did the Easter holiday come from? How do Christians and Churches navigate holidays in a way that takes advantage of what is on people's minds without creating religious holidays and traditions that are not biblically authorized?

    A. One day an atheist was complaining to his Christian friend, “You Christians have your special holidays, such as Christmas and Easter and Jews celebrate their special holidays, such as Passover and Yom Kippur, but we atheists have no recognized special holidays. It’s just not fair!” 1. The ...read more

    How To Deal With Sin And Guilt Series

     | 3,131 views

    Many options in the religious and secular world are given for how to deal with our everyday experience of sin, the guilt it brings and the dread of potential ultimate condemnation. The Book of Hebrews is adamant that there is only one solution for sin, and no other substitutes.

    The great American psychiatrist Karl Menninger, author of the book, Whatever Became of Sin, once stated that if he could convince patients in psychiatric hospitals that their sins were forgiven, 75% of them could walk out the next day. His statement underscores the struggle that all of us human ...read more
