Have you ever truly considered the profound and unwavering impact your local church has on every significant milestone and challenge throughout your life?

Uncover the foundational truth that the church belongs exclusively to Jesus Christ, who alone builds, owns, and governs His divine institution. Explore how He continuously expands His global body, uniting believers from every nation and culture, demonstrating an ongoing process that defies human authority until His return.

Ever wondered why many treat church like a theatrical performance, evaluating it solely on the quality of the 'show for a nickel'? Discover the transformative shift that occurs when you move beyond mere entertainment to embrace the profound, eternal purpose of genuine spiritual commitment.

Now I have one final question for you, which only you can answer. Where are you going to spend eternity? Only you can answer that. Read it once again. I plead with you, do not go on until you have come to terms with this all-important question.

There will be a time when the graves will be opened, and the bodies will be removed in a glorified state to be forever with the Lord Jesus. Plain and simple, the Christian has no reason to fear death since the future is so full of hope and happiness.

Don’t misunderstand. Everybody has eternal life because everyone has an eternal soul. The issue is not “Do I have eternal life?” It is, rather, “Where will I spend my eternal life?”

Be sure that the one you believe in has conquered death, otherwise he won’t get you into heaven. The only way to get beyond the grave and into the Lord’s presence is to place your trust in One who has gone before you and has paved the way.

Nothing stands in the way of Christ's return. It's imminent. The Second Coming could occur at any moment.

Every time we worship around the Lord’s table, it is another reminder that He’s coming. One of these times will be our last time to observe it on earth.

Quite obviously, His return has not been considered an insignificant issue through the centuries. But the strange thing is that many Christians in this generation either ignore it or are somehow confused by it.

There’s something about Christ’s soon return that stirs up our urgency and keeps us involved. God planned it that way. Anticipating the Savior activates our involvement in today’s needs.

In ancient days, when a sinner found himself or herself in sin, broken in fellowship with God, it was essential that there be an animal sacrifice. We find the process spelled out in four stages.

Since we are living in a day when animal sacrifices are not performed, it’s necessary that we familiarize ourselves with what that meant in Scripture.

Salvation is simply a gift. It’s simple, but it wasn’t easy. It’s free, but it wasn’t cheap. It’s yours, but it isn’t automatic. You must receive it. When you do, it’s yours forever.
