God Loves To Sing

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

Music and song are as timeless as the nature of God. If you consider God's singing as sacred music, then sacred music has no beginning, for it is just as eternal as God is.

Knowing the Bible is the best education life has to offer, for not only is it the light by which we come to see our Savior and enter into His salvation, it is by its light that we get insights into all areas of life that other books cannot give us. If you do research on the origin of music, you ...read more

Will Everyone Make It To Heaven?

Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Oct 19, 2013

This sermon addresses the false belief that everyone will make it to heaven. I used parts of a sermon outline from sermons of the new testament to write this sermon.

In a 2008 USA Today article it says that in a survey taken the majority of people 65% say eternal life is not exclusively for those who accept Christ. The world view today is that anyone and everyone will be saved no matter who they are, what they do, or who are what they believe in. The ...read more

Are We Serious About Hell? Series

Contributed by Mark Armstrong on Sep 1, 2011

This talk examines two common alternatives to the traditional idea of hell: universalism and annihilationism.

The bow of God’s wrath is bent, and the arrow made ready on the string, and justice bends the arrow at your heart, and strains the bow, and it is nothing but the mere pleasure of God, and that of an angry God, without any promise or obligation at all, that keeps the arrow one moment from ...read more

Praise The Lord! What? How? When?

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Dec 30, 2019

What does praise look like? We attach the word "praise" to types of music, styles of worship, and certain actions. But what does the Bible actually say about praise and how God's people praise him?

When you think of “praise,” what comes to mind? You might think of something that takes place in a church or in a worship service. Maybe you might think of certain actions. Maybe you’ve heard the joke about the woman who in the middle of the sermon stood up, lifted up her hands and said, “Praise ...read more

Man’s Reality Is Restricted To A Dot In The Universe

Contributed by James Linders on Sep 15, 2015

From the beginning of time man wanted to know where he came from and WHO he was. He refused to accept God's way because HIS reality differred from his creator's. Through the ages he was like a blind man, who was struggling to find the light switch.

Over millennium man has asked the question: “WHO am I. WHERE did I come from?” Man’s perception of reality as HE knows it, is restricted to a dotted space in the VAST universe. It starts with a beginning (The present) and has an end (The future). He is conceived as a biological ...read more
