    Grace can assist us in overcoming life’s problems by helping when all else fails. When we’re at the end of our rope, from struggling and trying everything humanly possible and exhausting our own resources, then grace steps in.

Grace is simply defined as, “The ...read more

    Have you ever felt hopeless — helpless — at the end of your proverbial rope? Have you ever cried out, “God help me”? That’s a loaded question, because I think we’ve all been there. In one way, or many ways, we’ve been there. When we’re there, we have options, even when we don’t think so

    Why would Cain kill Abel, and what can we learn from his failure?

    Years ago when I was at Purdue I decided to read the Bible for myself. So, I bought myself a Bible Commentary, and a Bible Dictionary, and I made a deal with God: I told Him I’d read everything but the poetry, the prophecy, and the “who-begat-whos.” I set my Bible and study books out where I ...read more

    Friends In High Places Series

    based on 15 ratings
     | 37,347 views

    What impressed Jesus in this story was the faith of the men who'd brought their friend to him - a friend who was crippled and lived in a low place of life. The phrase is "Jesus saw their faith." What does that mean? And what can it mean to us?

    A few years back, Garth Brooks came out with a popular Country and Western song called: “I’ve Got Friends In Low Places” How many of you have ever heard the song? (when most of them raised their hands, I stage whispered: “Pagans”) It has a catchy tune, but it is NOT a ...read more

The tenth commandment deals with the thing what will CAUSE US TO VIOLATE ALMOST EVERY ONE OF THE OTHER COMMANDMENTS, THE SIN OF COVETING.

     | 1,375 views

    The last event in the life of SAINTS, as far as being connected to earth, is after the millennium they go to their eternal home in the glorious place the Bible calls heaven.

    But in this message we are going to study the last thing that will happen to SINNERS, as they will spend eternity in the horrendous place the Bible calls hell! In this day of liberalism, when a preacher preaches about hell he is immediately branded in a negative way as being one of those ...read more
