     | 6,214 views

    The work of Christ is not complete until we fill in the blanks of justice not yet done, kindness not yet given, and witness not yet shared. He wants our very cores.

    To do anything these day, you have to fill out a form. Have you noticed? To get anywhere with anything you want to do, you have to fill out an application. Some of you have been job-hunting. So what happens? You go to the personnel office, you pull out your beautifully polished resume, the one ...read more

    Jesus saved me through His submission so that I can serve Him through my submission

    ENGAGE/TENSION This morning I’m going to preach on a section of Scripture that I don’t particularly like. And my guess is that if most of you are completely honest, you don’t like it either. That’s because it flies in the face of our natural tendencies. Submission is not a ...read more

    We shouldn’t be surprised when persecution comes. In fact, Jesus closes out the section of the Beatitudes with a paradox. We will be persecuted. It’s inevitable. But the blessing we will receive is out of this world!

    How do we resist? I want to make what we talk about today make sense, but I also want it to be visual. We can resist the devil by building a wall in our lives that resists all of his advances towards us. We will build a wall to keep Satan out of our hearts and we will make Satan pay for it.

    MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK SERIES “Resist!” JAMES 4:7-10 #JAMESatCCC [This is an object lesson sermon where the minister builds a wall out of boxes in an effort to visually show how to resist the devil by building a wall to resist the devil.

    The Concept Of Hell! Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 3, 2022
     | 1,403 views

    Hell, in many religious traditions, refers to the domicile, usually beneath the earth, of the unredeemed deceased or the spirits of the damned. From the underworld come dreams, ghosts, and demons, and in its most terrible areas malefactors (reprobates)

    Tom Lowe 2/3/2012 The Concept of Hell! There is no mention of hell in the Old Testament. The Old Testament talks about Sheol, which is a watery underworld where everyone went, whether they were Jew or Gentile, good or bad.
