     | 5,033 views

    I can guarantee that all of you will do most of the things I am about to enumerate, and I can pretty much suppose that most of you will do the rest. Here is your likely future for next year.

    Four Things You Will Very Likely Do in the Coming Year 1. We tend to remember people who succeed in predicting the future, forgetting that for every “hit” there are many “misses.” 1) "Man will never reach the moon regardless of all future scientific advances." -- Dr. Lee DeForest, ...read more

    Are You Ready For Persecution?

    Contributed by David Mcnally on Aug 12, 2012
     | 5,545 views

    Christians were persecuted by the Jews, then by the Romans, and by the Nazis and the Communists, and by fundamentalist Muslims and others today. Why should we in the West or US, Canada, Autsralia or New Zealand be excused from suffering for our faith?

    Gospel reading: Luke 21: 5-19 Sermon: Persecution May the words of my mouth ....... In the Gospels Jesus is recorded as saying some lovely things, that we are loved, that we are forgiven, that we are his friends, but in today's Gospel reading, his words are far from lovely. "They will lay hands ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,904 views

    The Work Christ accomplished on the Cross is more than we can know. As we look at some of the details, we can appreciate the benefits of Jesus’ death on our behalf.

    The Bleak Time (Matt. 27:45-55, John 19:30) [note: I originally preached on this text ten years earlier; this outline is revised and I have added some significant bits of information from my developing Jewish Roots perspective] 1.

    Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Historical Background

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 31, 2021
     | 2,799 views

    This is the first of a series of messages centering on the sermon that the Apostle Paul gave before the groups of philosophers in Athens, and how it is a perfect model for Biblical apologetics and evangelism.

    People today tend to sidestep, ignore, deter, apologize for and question the concept of reality in a world which gladly embraces the concept that reality, truth, and fact are not absolute but just a matter of opinion, experience, or personal interpretation. We have become terrified of the ...read more

    Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Right Place At The Right Time

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 7, 2021
     | 2,432 views

    Paul's preaching in the synagogues and the markets of Athens drew the attention of the city's philosophers and intellectuals who invited him to speak at the Areopagus. When the Gospel is proclaimed, it has the power to win souls for the glory of God (Hebrews 4:12).

    Paul's mission to carry the Gospel to the nations continued while he was in Athens. Even though persecution had driven him out of one area, the LORD in His Sovereignty placed Paul right where He wanted him, and that was at the intellectual capital of the Roman Empire, the city of Athens. ...read more

    20th Sunday in Course 2020 My ancestors came mostly from Ireland, although the coat of arms we display in our home, that says “Cunningham,” is actually Scottish.

    How to have peace when the storms of life rage about us

    PEACE IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM It would be wonderful if life was always rosy and filled with sunny days, but the truth is – often it’s not. Often many of God’s children find themselves in the midst of a storm. Of course, it’s easy to rejoice once the storm is over. But what do we do in the midst ...read more
