    ’Holy Tares’ we could call them...for they are in the church, but not in the body of Christ. The SOWING, the GROWING, and the MOWING [reaping]. Link included to formatted text, audio, and PowerPoint Template.

    From childhood to old age, God is always there to support us. God’s work in our lives ought to be a living testimony, so we should as such.

    The psalmist was old, and he considered his life to be as a declaration of all that God had accomplished for him (Psalm 71:9 & 18). Recalling God’s lifetime of blessings will assist us with seeing the consistency of His effortlessness consistently, to confide in Him for the future, and to ...read more

    The message of salvation and God's atoning work through His Son is found not only in the name "Jesus," but its pronunciation!

    CHRISTMAS! ONE CANNOT HEAR THAT WORD AND NOT ALSO THINK OF THE ANGELIC MESSAGE OF LUKE 2:10-11, “DO NOT BE AFRAID; FOR SEE—I AM BRINGING YOU GOOD NEWS OF GREAT JOY FOR ALL THE PEOPLE: TO YOU IS BORN THIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHO IS CHRIST,THE LORD.” THIS NEWS PROCLAIMED BY THE ANGEL ...read more

    Many people wonder what the big deal is about Jesus' resurrection since there have been other people who woke up from the dead. Jesus, however, is different from everyone else. He is the only one who rose and never did again. Halleluiah!

    So what Jesus resurrected? Has he been the only one who has ever been raised from death? Yes, to this question, there is no big deal because so many other people have been raised from death. Example before Jesus: • The widow of Zarephath’s son - 1 Kings 17:22 • The Shunamite’s son - 2 Kings ...read more

    Several messages sewn together under the general heading of eschatology. A bit of a "sampler" message about last things.

    The Beast from the Sea Believers must feel nervous when yet another brother attempts to describe what some feel is unknowable information. I feel nervous myself.
