The Footsteps of the Messiah by Arnold Fruchtenbaum

Last updated on: August 8, 2014 at 10:05 am   By Jim Erwin

    The Footsteps of the Messiah by Arnold Fruchtenbaum is a comprehensive look at the sequence of prophetic events. The book is a must-read for people who want to know the timeline about how the future events will unfold before, during, and after the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Fruchtenbaum’s analysis is sound. He uses Scripture to interpret Scripture, and not current events interpreted back in the Scriptures. As a result, the reader will find enormous amount of references.... Read more

Heaven Is For Real (2014)

Last updated on: June 14, 2018 at 10:47 pm   By Jim Erwin

Heaven Is For Real (2014) Heaven Is For Real (2014) is a film based upon the book of the same time, which itself is based upon the true life story of a young boy who experiences heaven. The film did well at the box office and the author (who pastors a Wesleyan church in Nebraska) has now converted the book and the movie into a non-profit ministry. Let me say at the outset that I do believe that heaven is... Read more

Matthew 14:13-21 Sharing Hope with Others

Last updated on: August 5, 2014 at 1:26 pm   By Jim Erwin

Matthew 14:13-21 Sharing Hope with Others Matthew 14:13-21 “Sharing Hope with Others” – a sermon about overcoming the scarcity mentality with a multiplication mentality through blessing. Illustration: Fish City Grill I went to go see Guardians of the Galaxy Friday evening. Before the film, I met up with Josh and his friend Greg at Fish City Grill. I read about the restaurant that it was highly rated by TripAdvisor. So I ordered the fish tacos. They were delicious. They were... Read more

Psalm 119:105-112 Bible Life

Last updated on: June 16, 2018 at 2:08 pm   By Jim Erwin

Psalm 119:105-112 Bible Life Either you believe the Bible is God’s Word or you don’t. If you believe that the Bible is God’s Word, then you should obey it. If you don’t obey it, then you don’t believe God’s Word. If you believe God’s Word, then you really don’t believe God. The number eight is stamped all over this psalm. Each section has eight verses; there are eight special names for God’s Word listed; there are eight symbols of the Word given; the... Read more

1 Peter 4:12-19 Personal Persecution

Last updated on: June 28, 2014 at 6:14 pm   By Jim Erwin

1 Peter 4:12-19 Personal Persecution “Why me?” we ask when fiery trials come upon us. The real question is, “Why not?” If suffering loosens sin’s grip on us and causes others to see us differently, if it places us in good company, keeps us focused on eternity, and frees us to participate in ministry—why wouldn’t we embrace it as a necessary part of our growth?1 FIVE REALITIES OF PERSONAL PERSECUTION FOR THE CHRISTIAN Expect personal persecution as a Christian.

Matthew 25:14-30 My Responsibility

Last updated on: June 26, 2014 at 9:50 am   By Jim Erwin

Matthew 25:14-30 My Responsibility I have entitled today’s sermon “My Responsibility” (Matthew 25:14-30). I am beginning a series today about “My Responsibility.” In this sermon series, we will look at responsibility in various areas of my Christian life. We will look at the fact that I need to be responsible and the kinds of responsibilities that God gives me. In Matthew 25, we have three parables. Each parable describes two groups of people: believers and unbelievers. The believers are the virgins... Read more

Last updated on: June 15, 2014 at 9:05 pm   By Jim Erwin

1 Peter 4:1-11 End-Time Ethics We have been sharing during this series on 1 Peter qualities that each Christian should have. We have come to the point where we will talk about how we should behave since we know that Jesus is soon returning. Of course, Peter expected for Jesus to return soon. However, we know clearly that Jesus is returning soon. We can see the signs all around. Since we know this, there are two main focuses in this... Read more

1 Peter 3:18-22 Heavenly Resolve

Last updated on: June 15, 2014 at 8:43 pm   By Jim Erwin

1 Peter 3:18-22 Heavenly Resolve Jesus Christ had heavenly resolve. He was willing to suffer for our sins, for everyone’s sins (the righteous and unrighteous.) The thought is that Christians, when they suffer for well-doing, are following in Christ’s steps.1 Jesus used a heavenly resolve to die for our sins so that we could come to God. (1 Peter 3:18) The death of the Messiah did not destroy Him, and death will not destroy the suffering and persecuted believer.2 This... Read more

The Republicans in Congress Are All Christian Now

Last updated on: June 12, 2014 at 11:35 am   By Jim Erwin

The Republicans in Congress Are All Christian Now After the defeat of Eric Cantor in this week’s primary, as this article notes, the Republicans in Congress are all Christian now. The Washington Post shows a set of graphics which are very intriguing. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s primary loss means Congress will soon say goodbye to its only Jewish Republican. And not only that; it also means there will likely be no Republicans in Congress who profess to be anything other... Read more
