     | 10,896 views

    This sermon deals with the Rapture of the church. It briefly describes the various Rapture Theories, along with going into further detail on the Pre-Tribulation Theory. But the most important element is not the theory, but whether or not we're ready.

    The Book of Revelation The Rapture of the Church Revelation 4:1 The concept of the Rapture has captivated the minds and heart of the church like few doctrines have, mainly because most people believe that we are in the last of the last days, and we don’t see our world lasting much longer. ...read more

    The fourth and final step of the lament is choosing to trust in the Lord. This step is critical and it is a decision. It is not a one time decision, but one we must continue to make. The good news is that God will help us to keep trusting Him.

    Loving Others

     | 8,326 views

    The commandment Jesus left us with is to love God and love others. In general we find it much easier to love God than we do loving others. Why is that? We have an enemy and when we realize his tactics we are better placed to fulfill Jesus' command.

    Loving Others • The Word of God is the most powerful thing that exists in the earth • Consistent attention and with full attention • It is our education If you want to be a doctor you need to be educated. If you want to be a carpenter you need to be educated, if you want to be a ...read more

    We must "walk in the light" each and every day with all the people we meet in all the situations we find ourselves in. If we do not, we make God a liar because we claim to be His (light) and yet walk in darkness.

As we leave the front doors of the church, we find ourselves on a semi-busy street. Manhattan Avenue is a semi-busy street in my book. The sun is shining. There is ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 49,171 views

    We are looking at the heart of a servant, which Jesus said should be our goal if we want to be great in the kingdom of God. To have such a heart will cost and goes against everything we’re taught. It conflicts with our self-centeredness and personal desires. But in the end, there’s a reward.
