End Times Evangelists

Contributed by Bobby Brewer on Jul 14, 2023

We regularly hear about various Internet personalities, ministries, and political pundits being de-platformed, blocked, and de-monetized. This is sure to be the case in the End Times, but because of His great love, God will ensure that the Good News is continually broadcast...no matter what.

The Mountain Perspective Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

This is why people fly and why they climb mountains. They want to see things differently. If you can just get high enough you can see from heaven's perspective, and from that viewpoint you can always be optimistic.

The Ultimate Scapegoat

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

What was the Scapegoat, and can it's function somehow be applied to Jesus? Christ made a one-time sacrifice and atonement to cover all sins. There is no more need for a scapegoat, as the Lamb of God became the final sin offering.

I want to begin our sermon this morning by asking if you’ve ever before heard the word “scapegoat.” This term was coined by William Tyndale, the first great English Bible translator, who I will discuss a little further later on in our message. After Tyndale, the word came to be used for a person, ...read more

Barriers And Bridges To God Series

Contributed by Perry Fowler on Feb 21, 2024

In this passage we are drawn to run to Jesus by contrasting the “old ways” of trying to get to God versus the “new and living way” to get to God through Jesus. How do people try to get to God? Let’s see:

I don’t know why but bridges have always been amazing to me. I think I am amazed by them because of what accomplish. They overcome barriers and literally “build bridges” to places previously difficult or impossible to get. For example: The longest bridge in the world was completed in 2011. It is ...read more
