    The Hole In Holiness

    Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Jun 14, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,267 views

    If we make our own definition of hoiliness, then holiness will have a hole in it. God defines holiness and we must fall in line with His Word.

    The hole in Holiness Romans chapter 8:1-11 Introduction- Last week we looked at Gideon. We saw from the Scriptures that God had a plan. A plan for each one of us. That each one of us is called to some capacity in the kingdom of God. This morning I want to look at how that is possible. How can ...read more

    When God created us, he gave us freedom of choice. We can choose to believe in him or not. To sin or not. There is no gray area. To live in sin is to be a slave to sin. We are free to choose between two masters, but we are not free to manipulate the c

    We battle not against flesh and blood. It is a spiritual battle that must be fought with spiritual weapons. If you want victory, you have to arm yourself.

    Spiritual Weapons & Tactics A lot of times the church fails to speak on the subject of spiritual warfare. Too often Christians, especially new converts or baby Christians, are left in the dark when it comes to this epic battle that is taking place in an unseen realm. All too often Christians ...read more

    “HOW LONG CAN YOU STAY under water without coming up for air?” That was the challenge my boyhood friend made to me. He boasted himself a full minute-and-a-half. “No contest!” I said. “Three minutes! Watch this.” I sucked in as much air as I could, and I plunged ...read more

     | 8,524 views

    Sometimes we think our prayers make no difference, but this is just the deception of the enemy of our souls. God hears and answers our prayers. In fact, our prayers will eventually change the world

    The sounding of the first four trumpets can be understood as the destruction of much of the world through a collision with meteors. It is inevitable and will happen at some point in the future. But I’d like to focus on something else this morning. It seems that what precipitates the end of ...read more

    Who Is The Antichrist? Paul, And Conclusions (Final In Series) Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on May 25, 2015
     | 4,764 views

    The apostle Paul's comments about the coming man of sin jive perfectly with Daniel's, Jesus', and John's. One would expect this in a Book that proclaims itself to be the Word of God. One author in Heaven speaking His truths through many authors on earth.

    7. PAUL: II THESSALONIANS 2 Did Paul ever deal with the question of the antichrist? Most assuredly. And as one might expect, this passage, II Thessalonians 2, has been abused quite a bit through the years. Let’s look at the first 12 verses. In the first place, Paul meant in no way to ...read more

    There were 2 ways from Egypt to Canaan: 1 straight & smooth direct to Canaan taking 4 or 5 days; the other was a crooked, winding, dry & difficult passage through the wilderness and that was the way God chose. Why?

    Paul is warning the Thessalonians ans us that there are those that will lead us astray and also warning us about the Lawless One, Satan. There is a real danger, but our God is all-powerful and in control.

    Anything that is extremely valuable will be counterfeited.

    Jesus tells us he is the Good Shepherd. Do we follow the Good Shepherd and are we as commited to him as he is to us?

    Sermon; I Am the Good Shepherd, John 10-11-21. A couple of weeks ago I talked about the sheep gate and discussed some of my adventures with livestock, the livestock being sheep.
