A Study Of The Book Of Revelation, 12: Ch 15-16, The 7 Bowl Judgments Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Jun 23, 2015

Climax of the judgments of God on this planet before the return of Christ. Awful, awful, times. Most believers are gone, not by rapture, but by persecution and death. Yes it is possible: think, North Korea. So, his wrath is not falling on His people...

The Seven “Bowl” Judgments 15-16 The end has come and gone again. Any further talk of judgment must be a close-up, or review, of something already covered. That is where the bowls come in. Now, in the sixth seal and seventh trumpet days, in which the seven bowls are poured out, the ...read more

The Secret To Purity Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015

We need to filter out those things that will affect our thinking and then we need to make sure we test our thoughts and motives against the highest demands of the Kingdom, that is, inner purity and godly love.

I wonder how many of you have been watching the series “Meet the Amish” on SBS over the last 4 weeks. It’s been fascinating to watch a group of Amish young people experiencing the wider world after living a very sheltered life surrounded by a family and community dedicated to ...read more

The Ones “go” And The Ones Who Don’t “go”

Contributed by Kelly Durant on Apr 2, 2016

Some say they will obey God and don't, Others resist, then go. The Jews in Jesus day did not think they had to obey Jesus so they did not go to work in the vineyard. No serving when you should is a failure.

The Ones “Go” and The Ones Who Don’t “Go” Kelly Durant Matthew 21:28 “But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, ‘Son, go, work today in my vineyard.’ 29 He answered and said, ‘I will not,’ but ...read more

Owe No Man Anything

Contributed by Robert Austin on Dec 12, 2022

The end of the year is approaching, and most of us are very busy. The New Year is rapidly approaching. A lot of us look forward to the new year as a time to make changes, new starts, and for many, a time to think about budgets.

Delete Or Repeat

Contributed by Loyd C. Taylor on Dec 27, 2022

How will you start your new year? What do you need to leave behind and what do you need to begin? Should you think about what should be deleted and what should be repeated?

Delete or Repeat Scripture: Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: (14) Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and ...read more

Joseph’s Obedience Series

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Jan 1, 2023

Joseph is the unsung hero of Christ's early life. Through obedience, he impacted Mary, he impacted Jesus, he impacted the other children, and I think he impacted Jesus’ entire ministry.

Sometimes there's words that we just don't like. Sometimes it's because of the way they sound. Some sound weird or sometimes they conjure up something kind of gross. One word that I don't like is the word ‘maggot.’ Really, if you think of maggots, is anything pleasant ever really ...read more

Should You Fear God? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

We think that grace means there’s nothing to fear in our behavior. And so the sanction of judgment has no place in our lives. But God is gracious and calls us back today to fear the behavior that leads to destruction.

I heard about a young boy that went off to one of these extremely expensive universities, and the bills were coming in monthly to these parents and they were struggling to keep their head above water. One day his mother received a letter from him and he said: “Dear Mom, I’m writing to inform you ...read more

Hatred Growing

Contributed by Damien Saylor on Aug 23, 2020

Now who do you think Hatred is growing towards? I would immediately list the answer as the lawbreakers, or the ungodly. No, overwhelmingly the answer is towards Christians. Somehow, no matter what may be happening, the Christian is blamed.

Sermon- Hatred growing - As I’m studying I often go through little Christian Forums. I’m looking for other people’s thoughts about what’s happening in our world. - A trend that I’m noticing more & more is hatred. Q- Hatred for who? - I would immediately list the answer as the ...read more

The Power Of Forgivness Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

If you are a genuine Christian, you will be both willing and able to forgive others. According to Jesus, when you say, “I cannot or will not forgive,” you’re essentially saying, “I am thinking about going to hell.”

We are in the last installment of a sermon series entitled Digging Deeper. Our goal is to answer this question: WHAT makes Christianity more “sticky” in some? What is the PROOF that determines if a person truly follows Christ? Or, What makes a Christian a Christian? We lose a lot of items in ...read more

Get Your Mind Right (With The Help Of God)

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 11, 2017

Philippians 4:8 calls us to think upon such things as truth, nobility, righteousness, purity, loveliness, etc. Why? What help will that be to the Christian. More importantly, what help will that be for the Kingdom of God in drawing others to Jesus?

Please open your Bibles to Philippians 4:4-9 which we will read in a few minutes. Our new memory verse is actually a follow-on to one of our earlier memory Scriptures; Philippians 4:6-7. “Finally, Brothers (or Brethren) …” Newer versions have “brothers and sisters”. Why? We who have grown up on ...read more

#35. Who Stands In The Breach? Series

Contributed by James Jackson on Sep 3, 2023

Ezekiel 22:30 has been the theme verse for lots of men's ministries. It is definitely compelling to think we might be the man God is looking for to stand in the gap. But the truth is, we are missing the point.

Who Stands in the Breach? Ezekiel 22: 23-31, 2 Kings 25:1-4 Good morning! Please turn in your Bibles to Ezekiel 22:23. Page 664 in the pew Bibles. On October 4, 1997, me and about a dozen men from the church I was serving at the time jumped on a bus at about 2 in the morning and drove 400 miles ...read more

Construction Zone Or War Zone?

Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 7, 2023

Many Christians don’t think it matters much if they allow a few sinful activities in their lives. The truth is, the failure to surrender ALL changes the entire fabric of what your life looks like in the spiritual realm.

CONSTRUCTION ZONE OR WAR ZONE? Lk. 14:33 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR You need 3 things to succeed in life: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone.

That Your Joy Might Be Full: A Sermon For The 3rd Sunday In Advent

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Dec 9, 2023

Today is the 3rd Sunday in Advent in which we think about joy. What is joy? In particular, what is Christian joy? How is this connected to hope, peace, and love, the other themes we reflect upon in this season?

The Return Of Evil Spirits Unto This Wicked Generation

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on May 7, 2023

We don’t need to have a Christian nation, government, educational system or culture to stand for holiness and thrive spiritually. Let’s stand for holiness not being conformed to the ideologies and modern day thinking of this wicked generation.
