The turkey isn't necessary, but Thanksgiving is! We all meet for food, fellowship, feasting, and football on Thanksgiving Day. But if that is all we do, we miss the real benefit. Maybe it is because we do not understand that when we thank God, it brings six distinct benefits to us. You might call this sermon, "Thanksgiving: What's in it for me?" Pastor Robert Rohlin covers the benefits of Thanksgi...

Pastor Robert Rohlin examines Daniel's dream in Daniel 7 and shows what will be happening in Europe during the end times and how you can see Europe's recent history carrying out Daniel's prophecy. In one respect, it is frightening to see how Europe and other parts of our world are being set up to make way for the reign of the antichrist. But in another way, we can take comfort that God has already...

Pastor emeritus Dale Thornton talks about his favorite subject -- GRACE -- about which he preached as a missionary in Taiwan for 40 years.

Pastor Robert Rohlin is passionate about his responsibilities as a father and grandfather. He has 8 children and 21+ grandchildren at the time of this sermon.

Pastor Robert Rohlin on Resurrection Sunday reminds us of 4 key proofs that the resurrection of Christ is real. And that is important, because the resurrection is the key focal point of the Gospel. It is the reason we worship Christ in church, the reason we have hope of eternal life, and the only reason for spending time focused on our relationship with Jesus. This sermon concludes with the powerf...

Pastor Dale Thornton and his wife Barbara served as missionaries spent 40 years as misisonaries to Taiwan. They saw God provide in marvelous ways to be able to plant churches there. He shares their journey and encourages us from Acts 1:4-9.

Paul really loves the Tessalonians. So, with fatherly concern, he encourages them repeatedly to hold on to the truth and stand firm. One of the problems today though is that so few church members are skilled at identifying truth. They get deluded by religions that incorporate human tradition and trust that equally or even more than the Word of God. But only the written revelation of Scripture can...

One of the most often-argued theological concepts is the role of God's election and man's free will in determining who will go to heaven. Some people go to one extreme of claiming that man's free will has no role and that if God choosed you to be saved, you will be saved. Another group claims it is all about the free will of man and that God's calling has nothing to do with it. However, the fact i...

Exodus 15:22-27 gives an account of Jochebed, the mother of Moses. Pastor Robert Rohlin combines the insights from her life with his own experience of some godly mothers in his life to describe the profound effect that a godly mother can have on her family.

This Mother's Day sermon is a bit unique. Yes, we start with Scripture, but the main points were taken from the life of a godly mother whom I called "Miss Margie." As I thought about Mother's Day, it encouraged me to remember her life and the example that she set.

When Israel was wondering whether God would destroy them or save them, God answers by sending comfort to His people. What does God do that gives us comfort? Pastor Dale Thornton explains how God comforted His people with the promise of the Messiah and then perfectly set up the circumstances of history for the coming of Jesus Christ.

Someone once said, "Man proposes, but God disposes." Another has said, "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry." We make lots of plans, and most of them fail. One of the reasons is that our plans fail to include God's perspective. So how do we plan as Christians? After all, to fail to plan is to plan to fail. We have to keep God as part of the decision-making process. Pastor Robert Rohl...

We all have conflict. But James tells us how to deal with conflict. This is the second of 2 sermons looking into what James tells us that we need to do to resolve conflict in our lives. Make sure you hear both sermons as his counsel will come in handy! Pastor Robert Rohlin is the teaching pastor at First Baptist Church Las Colinas, a family-integrated church in the Baptist Missionary Association....

If you never have conflict with others, then skip this sermon. But if you are actually breathing enough to fog up a mirror, you need to hear what James has to say about how to resolve conflicts. Pastor Robert Rohlin is the teaching pastor at First Baptist Church Las Colinas, a family-integrated church in the Baptist Missionary Association. This church focuses on expository preaching to equip fathe...

Eternal life is not achieved by getting sacraments from a church. It is not about doing more good works than bad works. It requires accepting the only payment for our sins. It requires a singular focus on Christ to save you. Pastor Dale Thornton explains in simple fashion these truths and ends with a testimony by a prominent pastor of his own salvation experience.

So much of what Christians "know" about Christmas is not from the Bible. We've allowed a lot of assumptions and myths to creep into our Christmas understanding. The realy Christmas story is far more miraculous than the one portrayed in church plays and in nativity movies. This is a 2nd of 2 messages.

Pastor Robert Rohlin on the Sunday before Thanksgiving preaches a somewhat-unorthodox sermon on Thanksgiving. He focuses in on the meaning in Numbers 11:1 where God judges the sin of complaining. There are a lot of words for that sin: murmuring, whining, griping, belly-aching, being a sore-head. Basically complaining is a sin for 3 reasons which Pastor Rohlin explains. Complaining prevents Thanksg...

Pastor Dale Thornton teaches from the life and ministry of Apostle Paul about how to live a life that pleases God. Paul was in Thessalonica for only a short time but had a fruitful ministry there.

It is somewhat odd that a sermon on marriage should be preached on October 31 -- the day that shares 2 important connotations. The world celebrates Halloween which in its most innocent form has children wearing masks and begging for candy. But in marriage, we often wear masks to either manipulate a spouse or to fool those outside the marriage into thinking everything is OK when our spouse knows be...
