The title of the message this Resurrection Sunday is What the Resurrection of Christ means to The Christian from I Corinthians 15:1-11. Paul said, ”by the grace of God I am what I am”. Thank God, for the tenacious, triumphant truth of the resurrection which gives us stability, serenity, and satisfaction. The Resurrection is mentioned 104 times in the New Testament. It is the Constitution, the Bill...

Revelation 21 is our text this week. When we begin to speak of eternal matters, we have entered a realm where we have difficulties getting our heads wrapped around this topic. Our mortal minds can’t begin to comprehend an existence that is eternal and perfect. We are so tied to time and accustomed to the concerns of this present life that we really can’t even imagine what heaven will be like. All...

Some 250 years ago a man name Isaac Watts wrote a hymn based on Psalm 98 called “Joy to the World.” We sing this hymn at Christmas to celebrate Christ’s first coming. It's a favorite Christmas song, but the song is really about Christ's second coming. "He rules the world with truth and grace..." Watts wrote the hymn to celebrate the Kingship of Christ over all the earth, as the...

The Bible is filled with references to the second coming of Christ. There are 1845 references in all. It is emphasized in 17 Old Testament books, and 70 percent of the chapters of the New Testament make reference to it. Christ Himself said he would return, as did angels who spoke to the apostles at Christ's ascension into heaven. This abundance of evidence does not keep scoffers from asking,...

We have arrived at an exciting portion of the Bible. After the dark, dreary passages we have studied, these verses gleam with the glory of heaven. In Revelation 19:1-10, we are going to talk about A Wedding Made in Heaven, the marriage super of the Lamb. This wedding will be a time of great joy for all the redeemed people of God! You are officially invited to this preview of the royal wedding in h...

This Sunday, our message will be What the End Holds for the Sinner and Saint from Revelation 14:6-13. This passage speaks about the future that awaits two distinct classes of people, verses 6-11 deal with the future of the lost sinner, while verses 12-13 speak of the future of the faithful saint. While these verses speak about future events, they are still relevant to us today. Every person will r...

If you have been studying along with us as we have moved through this amazing book of Revelation, you know the last two chapters 12 and 13 have been dark, depressing, and discouraging. We have been talking about the devil, the antichrist and the false prophet. This week the scene changes! Chapter 14 gives us a breath of fresh heavenly air in these verses. Only God can take that which is horrible b...

This Sunday, we continue our study of the book of the Revelation in chapter thirteen. The word "antichrist" appears only four times in the Bible, yet the concept of a person who opposes God in Christ, or tries to usurp His authority, is present throughout Scripture. Paul referred to him as the “man of sin”, "son of perdition”, and the "lawless one" in 2 Thessalonians chapt...

This Sunday, we continue our study of the book of the Revelation as we dive into chapter twelve. The drama of the last half of the Tribulation begins and we are introduced to the three main characters: Satan the dragon, the false Christ, and the false prophet. These three are, in a sense, an evil trinity, opposing the true God and his people on earth. While the events will be of special significan...

This Sunday, we return to our study of the book of the Revelation. In chapters 10 and 11 , John describes the events that will occur in the middle of the seven year Tribulation. At the beginning of this period, the Antichrist began to make his conquest by promising to protect the Jews and help them rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. But after three-and-a-half years, he will break his agreement, inva...

It's the first Sunday of 2018. This Sunday, we'll ask the question "What will be your greatest accomplishment In 2018"? When President Bush was asked a similar question about his greatest accomplishment, he might have mentioned his success during World War II as a Navy pilot. He might have called to mind his eight years as Vice President under Ronald Reagan. He might have menti...

This Sunday, we continue our messages about the joy of Christmas. We began last week with the Fear Nots of Christmas. This Sunday we will be looking at Mary’s Christmas. Mary teaches us even though she is young, unmarried and pregnant. She begins to lift her voice in praise to the Lord. In doing so, she reveals a heart that is in love with the Lord, and also a mind that is saturated with the Old T...

This Sunday, we'll begin a series of messages about the joy of Christmas. We begin with the Fear Nots of Christmas.

This Sunday, we will return to the book of Revelation. As we look at the ninth chapter, it is understandable why no one likes to talk about hell in biblical terms. Many churches like to redefine hell as a state of mind or an expression to describe a terrible situation, but the Bible presents hell as a literal place, designed to punish those who live in rebellion against God. Since it's such a...
