    7 descriptions of hell.

    "The Seven Certainties of Perdition" (Psalm 9:17) A companion of a newly converted Christian said to him one day, "Can you tell me where hell is?" After a moment’s hesitation the young Christian responded to his friend’s inquiry, "Yes, it’s at the end of a Christ-less life!" A new believer was ...read more

    "And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived” (1 KINGS 17:22).

    ELIJAH RAISES THE WIDOW’S SON. 1 Kings 17:17-24. Lest the widow of Zarephath should imagine that she was singled out in preference even to the Israeli widows on account of her own merits, she was sent a trial of faith, which both made her aware of her own sinfulness, and of the possible source ...read more

    Cutting Through The Legalese Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 17, 2003
    based on 50 ratings
     | 5,962 views

    We look for loopholes in what God has called us to do, but the Bible calls us to a proactive lifestyle, it makes us face who we really are, and it calls us to accountability.

    Some of us love to take the simple and make it complex. Some of us thrive on taking perfectly obvious matters and making them as obscure as possible. My neighbor’s car has on it a bumper sticker that says, “Eschew obfuscation”. After about a half-hour with the dictionary, I found out that means, ...read more

    Theme - He learned how to speak in the authority, power and with the backing of the promises of God. He said, "In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, rise up and walk." Just as Jesus said, "I have come in my Father’s name" (Jn. 5:43),

    Have you ever wondered how Peter and the apostles were able to do such great miracles? Theme - He learned how to speak in the authority, power and with the backing of the promises of God.

    Sword Of The Word Of God

     | 8,641 views

    The sermon goes into an exposition of hebrews 4 v 12, it describes the characteristics of the word of God and it's tremendous power. It also gives a real life account of how a world war 2 solider escaped because of his bible.

    Hebrews 4:12 King James Version (KJV) 12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.(Proverbs 21 v 30 & Isaiah ...read more

    Genesis Chapter Thirty-Seven Series

     | 1,237 views

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Thirty-Seven. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    GENESIS CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that Joseph tells his dreams to his brothers who sell him into slavery. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 37 Joseph relates his dreams to his brethren: they envy him; and, conspiring his death, first cast him into a ...read more

    How well do we follow when Jesus calls us to follow? Oftentimes it requires an abrupt stop, an about face, and then a totally new direction.

    Sermon Title: Prepare to follow Sermon Text: John 1:43 Sunday, June 25th, 2000 – Evangelical Church of Oskaloosa Scripture introduction: I think most young Christians are told when they ask what they should read first in the Bible, is to read the book of John. It tells quite clearly that Jesus ...read more

     | 4,105 views

    Christianity Is A Serious Business 1) The gospel is every Christian’s tool and trade 2) Our heavenly employer expects results 3) Faithful workers will receive a reward of grace; the disobedient will be punished severely

    The Major League Baseball season ended a month ago with the firing of a dozen managers and coaches. With the poor season the Edmonton Eskimos had this year and the tough one the Oilers are going through right now, one wonders how long before the head coaches of those teams get canned? Why are there ...read more

    A great number of people called themselves Christians who want to be served than to serve. There are many who aspire in leadership but very few will aspire to servant-hood.

    THE COMMITMENT OF A SERVANT-LEADER Luke 9:57-62 (I preached this message during my employment at Philippine Missionary Institute) Illustration: S. I. McMillen, in his book "None of These Diseases," tells a story of a young woman who wanted to go to college, but her heart sank when she read the ...read more

    Because of the Resurrection of Jesus we have an open tomb, open gospel, open witness, and open Heaven.

    A few weeks ago I saw this cartoon in a Christian newspaper, and it jumped out at me that this would be my Easter sermon! I didn’t know how I would use it, but I knew the Spirit would give me a sermon to go with it. For our radio listeners who can’t see the cartoon on our multimedia screen: ...read more

    Peter had a mediocre career going until Jesus offered Him a promotion to be a fisher of men. From that point on, the catches he would get were eternal and satisfying beyond measure.

    Let’s Go Fishing Prairie Baptist Church – 12/6/09 A.M. Service Text: Mark 1:16-20 Key verse: Mark 1:17 - Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” Premise: Peter had a mediocre career going until Jesus offered Him a promotion to be a fisher of men.

    Let My People Go

     | 13,095 views

    A lack of commitment to God and His kingdom may be an indicator that we are still somewhat bound in certain areas of our lives. Christ wants us to be set free so that we can serve the purposes of God.

    Exodus 6:6 NIV 6 “Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke (burdens) of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves (bondage) to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm... Prayer A little background to put that verse in ...read more

    My Greatest Need

    The question is: How has Jesus restored your life? Just as Jesus brought physical healing to the man by the sheep gate through the power of His words, He has brought you spiritual healing through His death, burial, and resurrection.

    Last week we started talking about what Jesus has done for us as we approach the Easter season. We looked at the long list of things that Jesus has done for us but finally decided that the greatest thing that Jesus did for us was to provide Himself. Today I want to look briefly at how Jesus ...read more
