    The Falling Away Comes First

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 18, 2024
     | 1,132 views

    The Thessalonians were looking forward to His coming. But something caused them to be “shaken in mind and troubled.” The assurance Paul gives to them gives assurance to us as well: the Lord has promised to return for His own, and we have not missed it. The falling away will come first.

    Alba 3-17-2024 THE FALLING AWAY COMES FIRST II Thessalonians 2:1-12 My wife, Janine, tells about a dream she had when she was very young, likely no more than four years old. At that time her family lived on a farm in North Dakota. There was a long driveway from the road to the house. In her ...read more

    Where do your priorities lie? Originally written as a Thanksgiving sermon, most of this sermon would be appropriate to challenge people to examine their priorities (e.g. beginning of the year, Lent, etc).

    <P>Thanksgiving Eve Service - November 22, 2000 A Money magazine article several years ago told of the life of a woman who saved 80% of everything she earned, investing it all in the stock market and turned it into a $22 million fortune within 50 years.

    Wise Guys Finish First

    Contributed by David Henderson on Sep 6, 2013
     | 3,344 views

    In this message I will define the difference between real and false wisdom. There is definitely a shortage of wisdom in our world right now.

    "Real Wisdom VS False Wisdom¡¨ James 4:13-18 If you had the chance to ask for whatever you wanted, what would it be? The OT gives us the story of a man named Solomon. We find the record that Solomon showed his love for God by walking according to God¡¦s law. God rewarded him by coming to him in ...read more

    Today we get to the topic of wisdom. And of all the topics he has discussed, wisdom could be the most important stimulus for spiritual growth. In other words if you plan to grow in the faith it will not happen if you do not first get wisdom.

    Breaking The First Four Seals Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 11, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,518 views

    The events that we will see with the seals are not the end of history itself. They are events that precede the end. The seals have to be broken before the book can be opened. This is exactly what Christ had said.

    Now the time has come. God’s book—the Book of Destiny, the book that spells out what is to happen in the end time—is now to be opened. We need to note that the Lamb doesn’t open the book at this point. He merely breaks open the seals. The events that we will see with the ...read more

    Upgrade To First Class I Series

    Contributed by Blake Inscore on Sep 1, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,941 views

    The thought that occurred to me this week is that we as believers are often satisfied flying “coach” when our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ died and rose again to offer us a “first class” ticket.

    Introduction: Today we are continuing our series of messages on the importance of love and unity in the Church. When we began two weeks ago we saw that the key to unity within the Body of Christ is love. That is why Paul said in Colossians 3:14—“Above all, put on love—the perfect bond of unity.” ...read more
