    Is Hell Real?

    Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Mar 4, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,742 views

    Our vision of a loving God makes the idea of a punitive Hell very unnerving for us. Jesus speaks of God’s love, but he also tells us in the Gospels about God’s punishment for sinners.

    Additional Text: Genesis 15:1-18 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14) Is Hell Real? Our vision of a loving God makes the idea of a ...read more

    God’s attempt to bring us closer to Him.

    How often have I longed to gather your children together... These were the words, which Jesus uttered, as he lamented regarding the way the Jewish religious leaders treated those who had come to bring the children of Israel closer to God.

    The Discipline Of Prayer Series

    Contributed by David Scudder on May 30, 2009
     | 4,261 views

    Since prayer is really just talking to God, then why is it so hard? Some of us have no problem spending a lot of time talking to other people? So why does it take so much effort to talk to God?

    Purpose: To show that a false commitment to Christ will cause a lack of desire to pray. Aim: I want the listener to be sure that he is totally committed to Christ. INTRODUCTION: For many years medical science thought that ulcers were caused by stress and spicy foods. But, in 1979 two Australian ...read more

    How sad that many of us miss the joy and blessing that can be ours by knowing and doing what Christ desires. What is Christ’s desire for you and me?

    Christ’s Desire Luke 13:31-34; 19:41-42 Christ’s desire for Israel was that they might have known Him in an intimate relationship as their Messiah. Several days before His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, He expressed that desire when He said after being confronted by some Pharisees, O ...read more

    Jesus want to gather us together as a hen gathers her chicks, but are we willing to accept his gracious advance?

    Have you ever gotten to the end of your rope? — I have done what I needed to: I’ve graduated from high school, finished college, got a masters degree; I have worked, become a licensed professional, developed into a good project manager; I have been ordained deacon and then priest.

     | 6,718 views

    Jesus longs to embrace you and tuck you under his wings to save and protect you. And that we should come to Him willingly like a chick that will find comfort and warmth beneath the wings of a mother hen.

    Jesus was apparently in Herod’s territory. Some Pharisees came and threatened him, “Leave and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.” Herod (Antipas) was the ruler of Galilee and Perea. He was the son of Herod the Great. (v.31) Jesus was not moved by the threat. He replied, “You go tell ...read more

     | 4,932 views

    This is a Men's Day sermon for an inner-city church facing issues of poverty and legalization of marijuana in their community. It looks at David and his meeting with Ahimelek. David's lack of integrity had painful consequences.

    Becoming Men Of Integrity 1 Samuel 21:1-9 Luke 13:31-35 11/8/2019 When you hear the word integrity, what other words come into your mind.

    - I believe some of the greatest stories for this pandemic, is all the outpouring of help & love. - If the virus had not have come, I do not believe people would have noticed others like they do now.

    Sermon- What brings out the best in people? - If you’re like me, I like to watch the mystery science shows. They present a mystery & then give you scenarios of what that something could be. They finally end up with showing you what the mystery is. Q- What’s the point of their ...read more

    Jesus Predicts His Death Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 2,590 views

    Think of it: Jesus marshaled no army and He carried no weapon. Jesus never used His miraculous powers to throw the Pharisees off the nearest cliff. Yet, the threat of Jesus was so great, He often made enemies into allies:

    A New York Times editorial claims that America’s views on the death penalty are changing. 35 people were put to death in 2014 which was the fewest in 20 years. And 2014 marked a nearly 40 year low in the number of new criminals placed on death row. While the method of execution may have changed, ...read more

    The Big Idea: God wants us to be faithful him in our words and actions, even in difficult situations.

    Of Christians put to death for their faith in the second century, perhaps no account is as striking as the story of Polycarp. Polycarp (A.D. 70-155) is bishop of Smyrna and a godly man who knows the apostle John personally. When urged by the Roman proconsul to renounce Christ, Polycarp responds ...read more
