Do You Want to Live Forever?

What would you pay to live forever?  Throughout human history, man has always tried to find a way to keep living on.  No one wants to die.  But all the offers of man can't stop you from dying.  God has a plan though.  Eternal life is a gift from Him.  The resurrection is the Christian hope.  But before we can live, we all must die.  But first you must choose to accept the one who chose to die so that you can truly live.  Do you still want to live forever? Job 14:8; Matthew 5:5; Revelation 21:3; Hebrews 9:27; Romans 2:7; John 10:17,18; 7:7; 5:24-28;1 Corinthians 15:12 Fred Pensyl   4/14/1974

Signs of These Times

Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs...sound familiar? Are you tired of waiting? Are you growing impatient for the return of Christ? How much longer will we have to wait? And how can we tell the return of Jesus is approaching? Pastor Michael Brown    www.fonthill.homestead.com

Unfulfilled Prophecies - Part Two

What if this generation lives through to see the Kingdom of God? What if we're the ones? How do we know we're getting near the return of Christ? In today's message, we continue our study into end-time events that could not have happened at any other time in history. And as we look at the prophecies, we realize we're closer now than we've ever been. And knowing all this, it's up to us to be ready, to be prepared, and to remain faithful. Daniel 11:40; Matthew 24:14, 21,22; Revelation 11 Pastor Dave Hixon   www.brushcreekchurch.org

According to the Pattern

The study of the tabernacle is one rich with meaning and symbolism. God gave very specific instructions to Moses for its construction. God wanted it built according to the pattern he laid out. God has always been very particular.  We must serve Him in His way. And we must build our lives according to the pattern of the life and work of Jesus Christ. Exodus 25:8,9,40; Leviticus 17:3,4; Hebrews 10:11,12; 2:14,17; 4:14; 8:1-8; 2 Timothy 1:10,16; John 13:15; 17:3; 1 Peter 2:21; Romans 13:10; Titus 2:7;       1 Corinthians 10:13; 2 Corinthians 3:1,2; Luke 9:23; 14:14 Pastor Hollis Partlowe   Dixon, Illinois

Be Found Awake When Jesus Comes

In today's message, Jesus warns his followers against complacency and indifference.  We are to be waiting and ready for the coming of the Bridegroom.   Will the Son of Man find faith when he returns to the earth?  How much oil is in your lamp?  Will your lamp be lit? Matthew 25:1-13; Exodus 25:37; 30:7,8; Leviticus 2:1,4-7; 24:1,2; Isaiah 40; Daniel 12:1-3 Pastor E. Richard Smith   1983

Unfulfilled Prophecies - Part One

What if this generation lives through to see the Kingdom of God?  What if we're the ones?  How do we know we're getting near the return of Christ?  In today's message, we begin this opening study into end-time events that could not have happened at any other time in history.   And as we look at the prophecies, we realize we're closer now than we've ever been. 1 Thessalonians 4; 1 Corinthians 15; Matthew 24:3,22; Zechariah 12:1-3,9;14:1; Luke 21:20-24; Daniel 11:40 Pastor Dave Hixon    www.brushcreekchurch.org

The Bible's Most Misunderstood Text

Perhaps some of the most misused and misunderstood Bible texts come from the parables Jesus used to teach the multitudes.  But to interpret any of these illustrations, we must remember why it was told and to whom it was told.  And perhaps no passage has been more misinterpreted than the parable of "The Rich Man and Lazarus."  Was Jesus trying to teach about the afterlife?  Or are we missing the point?  In today's message, Pastor Hollis Partlowe clarifies the simple truth and the religious lesson behind this story...and it may not be what you've always heard before at church. Luke 16:14,19-31 Pastor Hollis Partlowe   Dixon, Illinois

Get Ready! Get on the Rock!

What holds us together? The Rock. What will bring an end to this age of evil as we know it? The Rock. What is the church built upon? The Rock. Are you getting the picture? Jesus is the Christ and the son of God. As the church, we are the citizens of the Kingdom of God. So get on the Rock. Let's build our lives on that firm foundation. Psalm 18; Daniel 2:27,35,44,45; 2 Chronicles 7:14; Matthew 16:13; Deuteronomy 6:7; Philippians 3 Dr. Joe Martin    www.abc-coggc.org

Why Israel, and What About the USA?

Israel is God's chosen covenant people.  And God keeps his promises.  But why is this little nation so hated?  Why do its neighbors live in continual hostility with this small country?  With the many advances the Jewish people have made in medical science, education, agriculture, and even freedom, she should be admired and protected.  But why is the world silent?  Will  Israel ever live in peace?  Pastor Kirkpatrick begins answering as we get past the bias in news reporting and begin looking at modern-day events with a biblical world view. Zechariah 2:8; Genesis 16:10,12; 21:13-18; 25:18, 21-23; 12:2,3; Psalm 122:6; Luke 22; 21 Pastor Syd Kirkpatrick    www.pinegrovebiblechurch.org
