    based on 39 ratings

    Hindsight is 20/20, and if we would only listen to the spirit of God and do as we are lead to do. If we could hear the crying and gnashing of teeth, and the eternal torment of the souls in hell, surely Holiness-Fire would be in us.

    3 Things in Hell that you Should Find in every Baptist Church! Text: Luke 16:19-31. Read entire text, Pray, and then start with v. 23-24: “and in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24.And he ...read more

    9 Out Of 10 Ain't Bad

    Contributed by Wade Hatfield on Jan 9, 2002
    based on 90 ratings
     | 4,856 views

    This message encourages those who hear it to take time to "rest" and seek God. If we don’t take time to know God, we can never love him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.

    “Nine Out of Ten Ain’t Bad…” By: Pastor Wade Hatfield Today, we are going to begin by looking at the Ten Commandments. How many think they could stand up and recite all ten? Maybe not many, but I’m sure that we all know them…listen as I go over them, and it will refresh your memory. The Ten ...read more

    Jesus knew that human success is often a temptation that leads to greater worries, riches and troubles in this life. The Lord Jesus said, "Still, others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth

    How Jesus Measures Success Illustration: One thing I do, . . . I press toward the goal. --Philippians 3:13-14 In Daniel Schaeffer’s book on Esther, Dancing With A Shadow, he summarizes with a single sentence the lives of each of the main characters in that wonderful Old Testament book.

     | 3,752 views

    The smartest of us sometimes forget to question things we hear when they come from a source of apparent authority. It is the duty of all people to turn on our bulldust filters, especially when we are listening to our Christian leaders.

    Although we should not dwell on our past, we ought not forget either. There are those that could benefit from hearing our testimony, we need to share where we were delivered from for the benefit of those that are lost!

    Faith

    Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Oct 13, 2004
    based on 8 ratings
     | 11,052 views

    The text seems to suggest that the bearers of “Bad News” will always come, but the author of “Good News” is always in control. Jesus hears and ignores what others are saying. He has the last word. He is the author and finisher of our faith.

    One night a house caught fire and a young boy was forced to flee to the roof. The father stood on the ground below with outstretched arms, calling to his son, “Jump! I’ll catch you.” He knew the boy had to jump to save his life. All the boy could see, however, was flame, smoke, and blackness. As ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,170 views

    From time to time we hear of many heroic actions of those who risk themselves to help others. These people are often called ’Good Samaritans’. This sermon explores Jesus’ challenge to act positively in the lives of the despised and rejected.

    The hero, the knight, and the Good Samaritan: There’s one big difference. As our Gospel this morning we have heard a story that has seared its characters onto the consciousness of countless generations. Only recently we have had cause to use the term “Good Samaritan” in relation to the events of ...read more

    There was a day wnen the people of God would go to church, not just to sing songs about God or to hear stories about what God did in the past, but they came to church to meet with God. To see His power and His glory.

    THE GLORY OF GOD: I came across this humourous story on the internet recently: Little Johnny had been misbehaving and was sent to his room. He emerged a couple minutes later and informed his mother that he had thought things over and had even said a little prayer. The mother was very happy and ...read more

     | 15,106 views

    The greatest regret of all, will be for those who stand before Christ and hear him say, “Depart from me ye workers of iniquity for I never knew you,” and to know that they were “almost persuaded;” they almost accepted Christ.

    Almost Persuaded TEXT: Acts 26:1-32 In the early 1870’s, Philip Paul Bliss was listening to a sermon by Rev. Brundage, a friend of his, in a little church in the east. The preacher closed his appeal with, "He who is almost persuaded is almost saved. But, to be almost saved is to be eternally ...read more

    People today hear much on the love of God which is powerfull and changes lives. In these last day in which we live people need to understand that there is a wrath to face for living in sin. Without a Godly fear there will be no true lasting repentance.

    THE WRATH OF GOD Rom. 2:1-9 I. THE PURITY OF GOD’S WRATH A. The wrath of God is not like human wrath. 1.

     | 2,355 views

    We struggle over knowing what God wants. We ask for signs. Some in scripture have an advangage, sort of, they get to speak to God or atleast hear God’s voice. What about us today?

    What does God want? Hebrews 11:8-19 You know, I have a pretty hard time knowing what I want some times. I can get caught up in all kinds of simple dilemmas; it can be a simple as choosing something for lunch when there are lots of interesting to try.
