This sermon deals with the Rapture of the church. It briefly describes the various Rapture Theories, along with going into further detail on the Pre-Tribulation Theory. But the most important element is not the theory, but whether or not we're ready.

Precious In The Sight Of God

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 9, 2009

A short lesson on the importance of a Christian woman to have the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.

Today, I want us to consider something “precious in the sight of God.” God created the Universe. All things belong to Him. He sees all things before Him. Interesting to me is that as God sees all things, the Bible reveals that there is something that is “precious in the sight of God.” The meaning ...read more

Providence's Restraint Of Evil Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Sep 15, 2011

Let us look at the end result of those that refuse to hear God's instruction, and do not heed His rebuke concerning the holy state of matrimony. God has foreordained that sin should be its own worst enemy.

PROVERBS 5: 21-23 PROVIDENCE'S RESTRAINT OF EVIL In chapter 5 we have viewed the deadly enticements of sin (5:1-14) and then the happiness provided by keeping the marriage bonds tight and uncorrupted (5:15-20; Heb. 13:4).

How To Keep Your Vision Alive

Contributed by Benjamin Suulola on Mar 13, 2023

It takes a God-like vision to make positive difference, bring transformation and to impact our generation for the Lord. But having a God-given vision is not important as being able to keep the vision alive.

Vision is simply the ability to see what God is doing and the role apportioned to you in bringing it to reality. Your God-given vision is one of the most important reasons for your living. When there is no vision of God to be accomplished with one's life, the purpose of living becomes ...read more
