    Is the Bible still being laid as the foundation-word for the church, or is something else supplanting it? Individual messages addressing this critical question.

    1. Of Christian Foundations Has the foundation for the Christian faith been laid once for all, or do we look for new foundations to be poured in every generation? To ask such a thing is to answer it. The idea of digging up the old foundation of a building every forty years, so as to lay a new one ...read more

    If you want the confidence to move forward in times of trouble, see the unseen. Specifically, see your future body, your future home, and your future reward as you live your life to please the Lord.

    Note: put a $20-bill up your sleeve for later use. In The Polar Express, a boy, who has his doubts, boards a magical train on Christmas Eve, which is headed for the North Pole.

    Paul lost all worldly acclaim & possessions, he was beaten and imprisoned. He had a joy that trouble or trials could not shake. How? He says, "I have learned to be content!" That was his secret: content & thankful!

    THE THANKSGIVING SECRET Philippians 4:11-13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: SEA OF GALILEE TOURIST BOAT RIDE 1. A frugal lady was taking a tour of biblical sites.

    Tuning Out and Tearing Down Habakkuk 1:1-4 Levi grew up in the Holy City of Jerusalem.

    The question is not, “Is Jesus a factual, historical figure who lived and died and rose again just as the Bible tells us?” No. Every reasonable, honest person knows that those things are very, very true. The question is, “What are you going to do about it

    CELEBRATE! Matthew 28:1-8 Luke 24:13-35 For many in our world today, fear and guilt reign supreme.

    As you transition into the new year are there questions on your mind. There are on mine. What I believe to be a very important question for my life and the life of the church. Did I make the most of 2007. 2 terific truths from God’s word show us how w

    Intro: As we transition into this new year a question has been on my mind. Did I make the most of the last year. It is not a question for the faint at heart.

    based on 10 ratings
     | 11,942 views

    How can we allow ourselves to move under the anointing of God and yet not be transformed by His Spirit? The question is not “how can we allow such a devastating and detestable act to occur”; the question goes out “why do we allow it to happen”?

    My Daddy Keeps His Promises Exodus 34:29-35 The one thing that church folk often miss in their visitation to the sanctuary on the Sabbath is seeing the presence of God. How do we know this? Well all you have to do is look upon the faces of the men and women who claim that they have been to the ...read more

    What is truth? That’s the question Pilate asked of Jesus and it’s the same question people are still asking today. Some will tell you that there are as many truths out there as there are people. But is that really true? Can we know what truth is? Why

     | 3,980 views

    How can Christians be united when there are so many things we can’t agree on? That is the wrong question. The real question is, how can we imagine that any of these human differences can break the unity among us that God has already created?

    Do you know what the Zen Buddhist said to the hot dog vendor? "Make me one with everything." English is a remarkably flexible language. You can play wonderful games with it.

    The Week That Changed The World: The Day Jesus Conquered His Critics Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 3, 2021
     | 2,454 views

    In His final week of public ministry, Jesus confronted a series of challenging questions His enemies attempted to use as traps. One question dealt with the issue of paying taxes to Caesar. Jesus' surprising answer would settle the issues of loyalty and obligation to both God and Caesar.

    Jesus had spent the first days of His final week shaking up the status quo concerning the worship of the LORD, the reverence due to the House of God, and to recall its purpose. He exposed the moneymaking schemes of the religious leaders, rebuked their practices, and drove out the merchants who ...read more

    As the years roll by we all tend to increasingly have questions about life. As Christians we know the general answers to the age-old questions, “Who am I?’ Where did I come from?” “Why am I here?” “Where am I going?”

    The Christian Life James 4:13-15 “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: Whereas ye know not what [shall be] on the morrow.

    The Reality Of Hell

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 23, 2024
     | 1,666 views

    People often question what it takes to get to heaven. People question and wonder what heaven is really like. But you never really hear anyone ask about what hell is like. It makes me wonder if people even realize how real hell is.

    For the last couple of weeks you may have noticed that we have talked about Jesus being the only way to heaven and we considered the question “won't all people ultimately go to heaven?” People often question what it takes to get to heaven. People question and wonder what heaven is really like. ...read more

    “What is His name?” That’s the question Moses asked God at the burning bush. It’s the same question many ask today — sometimes with curiosity, sometimes with doubt, sometimes with desperation. Who is God? What is He like? Can I know Him personally?
