    A Gift For The New Year

     | 5,018 views

    Use the principles of John the Baptist preparing the way for Jesus in Christmas to prepare the way for the new year.

    1. I am not a big fan of Christmas – there are theological issues in which a pagan story of Mithras became the basis for the date of the celebration of the birth of Jesus. [Similar for Easter] a. Jesus’ birth is mentioned but not specifically when b. Jewish people tend not to celebrate ...read more

    Death is just a sleep, one will wake up to something great or something grievous!

    Please open your Bibles to 1 Thessalonians….. Look at v7-8 of Chapter 1 with me…. The Thessalonians 2000 years ago were good loving Christians!

    HOW TO DRESS A SERMON Preaching involves all the components of dressing appropriately for the occasion. You would not go swimming in a three-piece suit and tie any more than you would enter the pulpit in only your underwear! How your dress your sermon will determine your ability to communicate ...read more

    This is a sermon to get people to think about the return of Jesus Christ. Hopefully it will help us realize that Jesus will return whether we are ready or not.

    Tell a childhood Hide & Seek Story Read Scripture (Rev. 22:12-17, 20) There are more than 50 passages in the Bible that tell us that Jesus is going to return. In the short passage of text that was just read Jesus says twice that He is coming back and that He is coming quickly. Trust me when I ...read more

    Remember Lot's Wife

     | 3,274 views

    These scriptures refer to the second coming of Jesus Christ. Sooner than most of us believe, Christ will return to catch his bride away. A warning is found here to those who are not prepared to stand before the judgment seat of God.

    If we are to have a part in God's Kingdom, if we expect to be saved from the judgment of God, we must be prepared. To expect heaven to be our home one day, doesn't come by chance. Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people. John 14. There will be no time for preparation at the end of ...read more

    Have you ever been asked to do something that you just did not feel prepared to do at all? God asks BIG things of us, and we feel like we could never measure up...BUT, He will ALWAYS equip us for the things He asks of us, even if we don't think we are ready for it yet!
