    The Concept Of Hell! Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 3, 2022
     | 1,379 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. In its archaic sense, the term hell refers to the underworld, a deep pit or ...read more

    Strength Out Of Weakness

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Dec 12, 2004
    based on 105 ratings
     | 13,838 views

    Often the world considers trouble to be a terrible intruder into life. For many people the problems of life are viewed as nothing more than minus factors. But the Christian perspective of trouble is not pessimistic. Paul experienced a thorn in the flesh,

    Title: Strength Out of Weakness Text: "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me" (2 Cor. 12:9). Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians ...read more

    "Ananias: Vessel Of Courage"

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Dec 20, 2004
    based on 31 ratings
     | 7,499 views

    No one can predict what great things God will accomplish through even your smallest steps of obedience, courage and grace.

    There was, in Damascus, a certain disciple named Ananias. I think he was a young man. Because in Joel 2:28 God said through the prophet that after He poured out His Spirit on all mankind, their old men would dream dreams and their young men would see visions. And here, in Acts 9:10, we’re ...read more

    We Can Deceive Ourselves Series

    Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Jun 29, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,858 views

    Deception can come from within. Have you ever told yourself a lie, and talked yourself into believing it? That is self-deception. Have you ever seen your friends doing something, and you know it is wrong, but you still talked yourself into doing that exact same thing? That is self-deception.

    Introduction My Bible tells me as we approach the end times, there will be one major event that will occur that the church is silent about for the most part, and therefore, the church is not teaching its members to be aware. But this event must occur, and we must be prepared for it because God ...read more

    Failure To Pray – Praying For The Wrong Things – Being Worldly And Becoming Series

    Contributed by John Wright on Feb 1, 2010
     | 7,431 views

    James teaches that wars and fightings among brethren happen due to neglecting to pray, due to praying for the wrong things, being worldly and becoming guilty of spiritual adultery.

    INTRODUCTION #18 1. Open your bibles to James 4:2b (the 2nd part) thru verse 4. 2. In the words and phrases right ahead of this James refers to “wars and fighting’s” that go on in the lives of individuals and among members in local congregations. 3. James teaches that these ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,408 views

    By choosing hard and difficult things instead of nice and easy things you will make yourself a natural leader. Most people choose nice and easy things. That is why most people are on the broad and easy way that leads to Hell.

    Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. John 12:27 By choosing hard and difficult things instead of nice and easy things you will make yourself a natural leader. Most people choose nice and easy things. That is why ...read more

    This message attempts to answer the question of evil as it exists in creation, contrasting answers from both Naturalistic and Christian viewpoint.

    Dear God, Why did You create ticks and other nasty things? Isaiah 11:1-10 , Romans 8: 18-23 When we ask “why did God made ticks and other nasty things?” the only way we can really understand the answer to the “ticks and other nasty things” question, is to at least be ...read more

    A Study Of The Book Of Revelation, 5: Things Which Shall Be; 6 Seals. Series

     | 4,953 views

    Revelation 6. Quickly John sees an overview of either world history of the final Tribulation. Whichever it is, it clearly will be re-visited in the book. Revelation is not in chronological order. The end of chapter 6 is the end of the world!

    3. The things which will take place after this (6-22) Generally speaking then, the rest of the book is part 3 of the Lord’s outline for John (1:19). Here is where the going gets tough. Here is where sequential methods of book-reading will not work. Part 3 starts with chapter six, which ...read more
