    Does God Ordain/Allow Evil And Suffering?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 12, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,817 views

    Within the church, there is a belief that everything is under the direct sovereign control of God, therefore He ordains what satan and his minions do.

    It is also believed that when people get sick or suffer horrible tragedies, it is the will of God because He "allowed/ordained" it. God is the Holy and transcendent one. He is sovereign, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and omnibenevolent. He knows all things past, present, and ...read more

    A sermon for the annual meeting for casting vision in the life of the local church. Principals could be well adapted to another church.

    “Looking Back, Gazing Forward,” Genesis 9:8-17 Introduction One of the very special memories I have from my first trip to the Holy Land last year was that of swimming in the Dead Sea. It is a real adventure. First you head to pit which is filled with sticky and smelly mud. Against ...read more

    Call And Look Unto God Series

     | 4,125 views

    Our prayers today are so much about ourselves and with time we have lost that much needed touch with God. It has become more of a routine or duty. But it is time we turn to God, seek Him with our whole heart and return to the everlasting spring leaving behind the traditions!

    Call and look unto the Lord We read in Psalm 91:2, I will say to the LORD, "You are my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust." (GW) As believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, if we were to take a moment to analyze our prayers, we would be surprised to know that most of them are ...read more

    We are going to look at a few of the traditions that surround the Christmas season.

    OPENING JOKE: “RATS” A minister once enlisted four children to help him preach his Christmas sermon on “The Star.” He gave each child one of the four letters to hold up so he could make a point on each letter of the word “Star.” When the children stepped forward and turned around, they were in ...read more

    What Good Are You? Series

    Sometimes we feel like God has to completely change us in order to use us. Paul shows us that God takes the background, weaknesses, and even difficulties and uses them for His kingdom, if we let Him.

    Who are you as a person? Who are you as a Christian? Do those two questions get two different responses from you? I think often times we think that when we come to Christ, Jesus basically considers us to be a blank slate that needs to be redrawn into the character of Jesus and that everything about ...read more

    As Moses lifted up the healing serpent, so the Jews lifted up Christ, the healer, on the cross, so that we might take him and be transformed.

    April 4, 2006 Tuesday of 5th week in Lent If we read John’s Gospel from start to finish, one of the impressions we get over and over again is that Jesus was surrounded by idiots and incompetents. It seems like every page turn brings the words “they did not understand.” But there is nothing new ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,117 views

    More scriptural evidence is shown that it is impossible for the Church to enter the Tribulation. We look at what the Apostasy really is, the thief in the night, the call, “Come up here,” the Restrainer the Holy Spirit, and the Day of the LORD. God bless you all.

    THE CHURCH DOES NOT ENTER THE TRIBULATION – REASONS THAT PROVE IT – PART 2 OF 3 We continue looking at the reasons that prove the Church, the Body of Christ can have no part in the coming wrath of God in the Tribulation. God’s members of the Bride are delivered from that coming judgement. Of ...read more
