What Does Gods Word Say About Heaven and Hell – Sermon – October 20 2013

What Does Gods Word Say About Heaven and Hell ? – Sermon – October 20 2013

Are Heaven and Hell real places?  What is Hell like in the Bible?  Why according to Your Church Magazine, in May of 2008, 93% of Pastors interviewed say they never have and never will mention hell in a sermon?  What is Heaven like?  How do we get to Heaven?

Scriptures below from the church bulletin used in the Sermon:

Psalm 54,  Isaiah 66: 20-24,  2 Timothy 4: 2-8,  Matthew 13: 36-43

Keywords: seeker sensitive churches, 2 Thessalonians 2, shipwrecked at Sea in the South Pole, false prophets, antichrists, antichrist’s, false teaching, sir Ernest Henry Shackleton, South Pole incident, Art Linkletter on Larry King live,  heaven and hell, 2 Timothy : 4    In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.

Should We Still Preach Fire and Brimstone – Sermon – December 05 2010

Should We Still Preach Fire and Brimstone ? – Sermon – December 05 2010

After reading Matthew 3: 1-10, do you think after learning about the purpose John the Baptist served announcing Christ’s coming, do you think we still need fire and brimstone preaching like this in church?  Do we still need to hear about the wrath of God, His righteous anger, His vengeance, His destructive power? Or is this a thing of the past?  Do we simply need messages only about love, joy, peace, hope and such things?   Do we need to keep God’s wrath and vengeance clearly on the radar scope of our faith?  Why do you think preachers, rarely preach like John anymore?  Is God any different in the New Testament, from how he was in the Old Testament, aside from Jesus Christ?  Why do the Seeker Sensitive churchs of today avoid preaching about God’s wrath?

Dependence Day – Sermon – July 03 2011

Dependence Day – Sermon – July 03 2011

First, what does it mean to depend upon Him, to depend upon God?  When the Phillippian jailer guarding the Apostle Paul and Silas in prison, was knocked out from an earthquake, and the prison cell doors were all open, he drew his sword to kill himself, before he was punished for letting the prisoners escape, until he saw that Paul and Silas were still in their cells, and the Jailer asked “What Must I do to be Saved”.  What did this mean to be saved?  When you celebrate Independence Day,  do you also celebrate Independence from God?  What do we depend upon God for?
