    This sermon notes why we as Christians should always give thanks unto the Lord and not take His grace and mercy for granted.

    Introduction: In our world of today, we live in a thankless society. The word thank you is something of ancient times.

    The atonement for all mankind had to happen on that hill, among those specific people, by the specific method of crucifixion, to only that specific Person, for the specific purposes that God outlined. There was no other way.

    "Why Celebrate Christmas?"

    Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Dec 24, 2003
    based on 12 ratings
     | 6,681 views

    It is always interesting to note those who did come and those who did not come to that first Christmas celebration. Why did they not come? And why did others come to celebrate the birth of the Christ child? The reasons are the same today.

    Text: (Luke 2:15 KJV) And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. 16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and ...read more

    Apocalypse Of The Church

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jan 25, 2022
     | 1,051 views

    The apocalypse described in Mark's Gospel can be viewed as a prophecy that can occur today! Churches need to stop the bleeding loss of membership before it is too late. Christ's love will make that change.

Koplitz Mark 13:14-23 14 “But when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. 15 “aThe one who is on the housetop must not go down, or go in ...read more

    This shows what the church should be.

    "V" is for "Church" (The idea for this sermon came from an e-mail I received.) 1. In the Bible, the church is characterized with several Vs. First, the church is visible.
