    Today we’re looking at 3 people who were close to going to Heaven, but missed it.: Demas, Lot's Wife, and Cain. They all had been very close to spiritual experiences with God, but didn't end up on God's side.

    The Satanic Seduction of Synchronicity and Purpose-Driven Deception

    We are living in an insane world where a person who uses reason, logic, and common sense often feels isolated amid all the madness. The societal importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion supersedes the Word of God, logic, and common sense. Pastors are afraid to speak about politics, abortion, ...read more

     | 32,100 views

    Jesus is preparing a place for us. But don’t imagine a private room with walls and a door you can lock. There will be no need for locks in Heaven. Think about sharing a big house with all the other Heavenly Family members—more like a bed and breakfast.

    INTRODUCTION In a cemetery in Indiana there’s a tombstone that has an epitaph with the intent to make people prepare for death. It says, “Consider, friend, as you pass by. As you are now, so once was I. As I am now, you soon shall be. So prepare, my friend, to follow me.” Someone ...read more

    We must have a vertical (worship toward God) and a horizontal (edification of the church) philosophy of worship.

    Have you ever wondered “Why do we gather together on Sunday mornings? What is the purpose of carving out of our busy week 2 – 3 hours to come to a place to be with other people to sing songs and to listen to a guy speak?” What is the purpose of congregational worship?

    Using Colossians and Acts, we explore the validity of what we are preaching to our congregations.

    The question our churches need to start asking ourselves is, "What are we feeding to the congregation?" We stand at our pulpits each week declaring the truth of God’s Word, and we tell people they need to start getting ready - and then we veer off and give messages that have nothing to do with ...read more
