Our Future Hope
Pastor Michael Cisler    E-mail Mike
North Kent Bible Church   Rockford, Michigan
Are you so consumed by the problems of today that you're missing the big
picture?  God has plans and a future for those who belong to Christ.  And
Jesus is coming back.  Because Jesus has been raised, we are
promised victory over death and sin.  We're promised a perfect body and a
perfect life in a perfect world to come.  So let's keep our perspective.  We
need to stand firm, and let
nothing move us.

How Do I Love Thee?
Bobby Lee Partain
Guthrie Grove Church of God    Pelzer, South Carolina
What ways do you try to express your love?  How do you demonstrate it?  
Think of all the gestures we go through to get someone to love us.  That's
how our loving Father tries to love us.  And sometimes, we reject Him.  But
in our lives, we need to be looking out for His purposes, not ours.  We
need to be motivated by genuine love like He shows us.

The Faith of Abraham
Pastor Jim Graham    1974
What's so important about Abraham's faith?  What do the promises God
made to this patriarch have to do with Christians today?  Why does it
matter?  What does "Abrahamic Faith" mean?  Well, if you're in Christ,
then you have a big inheritance waiting on you!
Hebrews 11; Galatians 3; Acts 3
What if it Were Today?
Pastor Francis Burnett
The Bible tells us Jesus is coming back to the earth in the same way he
left it.  And we believe Jesus is coming again, but for some reason we
seem to want to put it off.  Why? We don't hesitate to teach his return, but
we neglect to prepare for it.  But what if it were today?  Would you be ready?

Brush Creek Revival Meetings: Friday, November 24, 1972
with Pastor Z.B. Duncan (whole service)
"Missing God's Blessings Now - Later!" (message only)
Welcome to another year with Pastor Duncan at Brush Creek's Revival
Meetings.  Sit back in your pew as we enjoy an evening service with
hymns and a special by Sherry Smith, Pam Perry, and Cecil Perry.  The
Lenoir, North Carolina preacher takes a break from his 11 weekly radio
programs to bring tonight's message (
and he's got a lot to say).  Are you
seeking the Lord with all of your heart?  Do you love the Lord more than
anything else?  Sometimes, when we fail to seek the Lord
whole-heartedly, we miss out on the opportunities and blessings He has
prepared for us.  It's time to make yourself a vessel God can use.  It's time
to let Christ live in you and experience the blessings now -
and later!
The Voice of Tomorrow Broadcast with Pastor Dale Swartz
A broadcast ministry of Kingdom Ministries, Inc (Litchfield,
Minnesota).  Kingdom Ministries is a completely faith-based ministry
created to simply and clearly proclaim the message of the Kingdom
of God and to share God's love in a practical way.  In today's
message, we take a look at a man the Bible calls "blameless in his
time."  Although God would destroy the earth because of its
wickedness, Noah found his favor and was spared.  What made
Noah unique was his "walk" with God.  Can you say
your walk with
God a part of your everyday life?

Today's message: Walking with God
The Open Bible Pulpit: Introduction to 1st Thessalonians
Pastor Chuck Jones  E-mail Chuck    Visit Chuck's blog
Church of the Open Bible Pomona, California
In this first message in this new series by Pastor Chuck, we're examining
what is perhaps the oldest recorded New Testament document still in
existence.  Written by Paul to the church at Thessalonica, this letter was
penned in the mid-first century.  As we use our imaginations, we take a
look at this religious first-century city as the Apostle would have known it
and begin our background study into Paul's missionary journey and his
encouragement in the ministry.
Acts 17; 1 Thessalonians
Reborn to Reproduce
Pastor Dick Eldred
When we read about Jesus and his disciples, we find they had one
message they were proclaiming.  In fact, Jesus said that he was sent for
this purpose of preaching the gospel.  And it is in that same message we
find the mighty power of God.  If we have the spirit of God in our lives, we
will boldly declare the message of God to the world.  Our mission is the
same.  Our message is the same - and it cannot be silenced.
Matthew 3:14; 4:23; Luke 4:33; 8:1; 9:1,2; 24:49; Acts 1:3, 12-14; 3; 4:1,2,

Daniel Series #7:  Is Rome in the Image?
Pastor Terry M. Ferrell   E-mail Terry
Greenville Church of God, 217 White Oak Road, Greenville, SC 29605
In this continuing study on the book of Daniel, we continue examining
the details of the kingdoms from Nebuchadnezzar's image in Daniel
Chapter Two.  In today's message, we more thoroughly examine the
most common viewpoint of the fourth kingdom.  Traditional opinion
has often filled in the "iron" kingdom as the Roman Empire following
the idea of a continuous history approach.  But is the answer actually
Rome?  Or does the text in Daniel suggest there may be another
empire that has been overlooked?    Daniel 2:40-43
The Great Return
Pastor Tom New    E-mail Tom
McGintytown Church of God   Greenbrier, Arkansas
After Jesus ascended, his followers were told that he would return in
the same way as they saw him leave.  And his disciples believed it
was true.  They had already witnessed the power of God through his
resurrection.  This has been the hope throughout the ages that Jesus
would return to this earth.  And yet there are Christians who have lost
hope, left their faith, and changed their message because his return
has not yet happened.  But
until Jesus returns, it's up to us to prepare
ourselves and prepare the world until he comes back.

Well-Suited for the World
Pastor Steve Taylor   E-mail Steve
Lakeshore Bible Church  Tempe, Arizona
We are living in enemy territory, but how do we defend ourselves?  
How do we stand firm in the battles we face, and what weapons are
we using?     Ephesians 6
Man's Dominion of the Earth (through Christ)
Paul Rankin    E-mail Paul
Church of God, Faith of Abraham   Cashmere, Washington
After the creation, God gave man dominion over all of the beasts and
all of the earth.  But man messed up.  Through Adam's sin, man had
lost the dominion and lost his life.  But through Jesus, we have a new
hope.  And through the man Jesus, the earth, and man's dominion,
will be restored.

Christian, But Not Quite
Pastor Wally Winner     E-mail Wally     Acts 18:24-28; John 4
Joy Fellowship Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith
What do you do when you hear someone with an inaccurate message
of God's Word?  Do you jump on them immediately?  What happens if
you are the one being corrected? This was exactly the situation of the
principle characters of our text in Acts 18:24-28.  Apollos was  skillful,
forceful, useful, powerful, helpful, faithful and tactful, but he had an
incomplete message.  He was only acquainted with the message of
John the Baptist. Aquila and Priscilla took him aside and explained
Christ's death, sacrifice and resurrection to him, and He became a
major figure in the work of the early Church.
If You Want Something, You Have to Ask For It
Matthew 7:7-12
Gary Burnham    
E-mail Gary
Do you ever wonder why it seems like God isn't blessing you?  Do you feel
like you can't find God?  Do you feel like God isn't answering?  Well,
maybe God has already answered.  Perhaps He's waiting to answer when
the time is right.  Or maybe you never even asked...
Job
Debbie Bryant
Abundant Life Community Church  Rockford, Illinois
Do you ever suffer through the trials and tribulations of this life?  Do
you feel like maybe God is forgetting about you?  Do you wonder why
all the bad things seem to happen to you?  You're not alone.  The Bible
tells the story of a righteous man who experienced great suffering and
hardship.  But through it all, and despite of it all, he held onto all that
he had.  And sometimes when you lose everything,  all that you have -
is God.
