    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Aug 7, 2013
     | 4,853 views

    Revelation does not mean "to conceal". It is meant to be read and understood. This is an introduction to a long sermon series on the entire Apocalypse and gives my interpretive foundational views of the book.

    An Introduction to the Book of Revelation Revelation 21:1-7 Rev. Mark A. Barber It might seem at first strange to begin a sermon series on the Book of Revelation from a passage at the end of the book rather than the beginning. However, there is a good reason for this. The book of Revelation is ...read more

    Christian Morals

    Contributed by Craig Condon on May 1, 2015
     | 6,872 views

    There are certain traits that should characterize a believer who serves the Lord. We are to obey him in doing good works, so others can see God’s love and kindness through us. We are to teach God’s word with passion and conviction.

    If our lives ended today, how would those around us assess our contribution to our fellow man? Our example leaves an impression on others. With God’s help, it will be one of love, faith and purity of life. The book of Titus captures the pattern God gave for every believer and the direction ...read more

    When the disciples were first called, the invitation to follow Jesus was evident ... but they had to choose to leave what they knew and follow Him. Would we be so bold to not only point others to him, but to follow when He calls us?

    Every New Year we always heard about the resolution of every individual. They promise to change in their lives. Maybe like; I want to be slim this year, or I will not eat too much rice or something, or I will not be late for my work. There are a lot of new resolutions but after a week or month we ...read more
