    Eschatology 1 Of 16 The Rapture Of The Church

     | 6,606 views

    I want you to pay very close attention today as we examine this scriptural passage that we will be reading from.

    We hope these exciting things we are going to be reading about will take place during our life time, but if not during our life time, we know they will take place in the life of some Believers who will be living on the earth. Beloved, I am talking about the RAPTURE OF THE BELIEVERS! IS THE ...read more

    The Suffering Servant Of The Lord Series

    You can’t really appreciate the cross if you don’t know how bad you are every day, how guilty. The cross doesn’t mean anything if you’re a good person, comfortable and at ease with yourself. Do you know how much you need the work of Christ?

    Imagine what it was like for the Ethiopian man in Acts 8. He’s traveling south through the countryside, having just been to Jerusalem to worship. He’s a foreigner, but he’s devoted to the Israelite faith—for he knows it is God’s truth! Now on his way home, the LORD is still very much on his mind. ...read more

    What Did You Get For Christmas?

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 23, 2021
     | 2,761 views

    The secularists today are doing everything they can do to wipe out the meaning of Christmas. They would like to make it so that the name of Christ can not be mentioned at ANYTIME at ANYPLACE.

    The secularist will not be happy until they: • Remove every nativity scene from public properties • Remove God’s name from the pledge of allegiance • Remove God’s name from every coin • Remove every Christmas carol that talks about God from the schools • Remove all the Christian drama from ...read more

    In this message we begin (this is part one) unpacking Philippians 4:1 (and some of the verses around it) which teach us us how to stand firm in the Lord.

    Christ Is No Mirage

     | 2,026 views

    Jesus is no mirage, and His resurrection proves it. Jesus gives us the living water of life. He is the oasis that replaces the mirages of this world. Therefore, let's quit falling for the fake, and start living the truth of God through Christ Jesus our Lord.

    Christ is No Mirage Isaiah 35:7 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQefljIpico If I could put a subtitle to today’s message, it would be, “The World’s Mirage verses The Reality of Christ.” As this new year began, the Lord pointed me to present a two-part message revealing how the Cities of ...read more

    Reversing The Curse . . . And Then Some! Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 17, 2022
     | 2,727 views

    Did you know that all men die for Adam's sin? It's a biblical concept taught clearly in Romans 5:12-21. In the same way, all men who receive Christ's gift live by Christ's one act of righteousness.

    Well, as we all well know, we have reached 2022. And we’ve had a couple tough years as a human race. I remember well in 2020 how many were claiming that was the worst year in recent memory—the worldwide pandemic had shut down much of the world, there was tremendous social unrest in the U.S. and ...read more

    What can Peter teach us about how to live the Christian life when the government persecutes us?

    The Christian and Governmental Authority 1 Peter 2:13-17 Introduction In the USA, where I live, there is no more odious word in the English language than “submission.” No one here wants to submit.

    Fulfill your calling to go as God’s representative, because God calls you to go; to be God’s special, secure servant, because God calls you to be; and to come together as God’s people, because God calls you to share together in the fellowship provided by His Son, Jesus Christ.

    Receiving The Lord’s Chastening

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 8, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,375 views

    God chastens us for our own good. However, usually, when we are going through His chastening we resist the Lord with all of our might. But this passage shows how it would be beneficial to receive the Lord’s chastening.

    I have entitled our message this evening, “Receiving the Lord’s Chastening,” and I wish to begin by sharing an illustration entitled, “God’s Loving Kick”: A Norfolk-Southern train was rolling down the rails of Indiana at 24 miles per hour. Suddenly the conductor, Robert Mohr, spotted an object ...read more

    True Biblical Prosperity

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 9, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 11,119 views

    Prosperity is not based on what we possess but on who we are inside, or who we are spiritually. Prosperity is not determined by a lack of hard times, but by how we handle tough situations; by whether or not we maintain our joy.

    I have entitled our message this evening “True Biblical Prosperity.” If there is “true” biblical teaching on prosperity, then there must also be “false” teaching. Therefore, I am going to briefly address the false teaching that’s out there, and then point out what the Bible defines as true ...read more
