The Real Beggar

Contributed by Esther Collins on Aug 15, 2020

This message will help us have a Godly perspective of riches and wealth. It will encourage us to use our resources the way God intended for us to.

What’s Hell Like?

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Nov 10, 2020

Jesus shares a story that gives us a brief glimpse of Hell. This message is not a full sermon, but more than just an outline.

He begged to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. As he lay at the gate, the dogs came and licked his ...read more

Abraham: A Final Look Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 3, 2021

The highest point, arguably, would be the episode where he was commanded to offer Isaac as a burnt offering but was stopped before he actually did so (Genesis 22). The last years of Abraham’s life don’t have much ...read more

He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Rich Man And Lazarus) # 18

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

This parable is different from most parables because it conveys to us a number of vivid contrasts, such as:

• Riches and Poverty • Heaven and Hell • Compassion and Indifference • Inclusion and Exclusion As we teach this parable, I need to mention that there are some who refuse to teach Luke 16:19-31 as a parable. Their objection is for two reasons: (1) It is the only one of the parables in which ...read more

What Ever Happened To Hell?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 3, 2022

Sometimes we hear about the “Endangered species” list. That is, there are certain kinds of birds, fish, animals, and insects that die and become few in numbers because of hunting or natural disasters.

When this happens, they are placed on the “Endangered Species” list so that they will not become extinct. Once they are placed on this list, everything that is imaginable is done to preserve them. This is good, because if they were not placed on this list, soon these birds, fish, insects and ...read more
