When you read you begin with A-B-C, when you sing you begin with do-re-me." When we read the Bible, however, most people start ...read more

    A look at heaven and how to get there.

    "I don’t think that there can be any future for heaven or hell."

     | 52,209 views

    Mother’s Day used to be such an easy Sunday for preachers because we could preach sermons filled with warm, happy illustrations. Well - maybe not for everybody.

     | 156,455 views

    Obviously, God wants us to be a happy, satisfied people. We shouldn’t be restless & jealous, always chafing about what we don’t have. There should be a spirit of thankfulness in us that brands us as belonging to Him.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2011) Turn with me this morning to the 23rd Psalm, perhaps one of the best loved passages in the Bible.

    based on 794 ratings
     | 97,459 views

    "Freedom is never free." It sounds like a paradox when you say it, but it is true. "Freedom is never free." In the same way, forgiveness is never free.

    It may seem strange to speak about Christmas with a passage from the book of Revelation.
