Most religious people, Christians and non-Christians alike, believe in the immortality of the soul. What does the Bible say about this question? Do people have souls, or are they souls? Are there dead souls? Can a soul die? Why does the Bible speak about the resurrection of the dead, if the dead are not really dead, but keep on living after death as “immortal souls”? What is death? And what is hell, in which God can destroy body and soul?
Christ
A Successful Marriage
In what way is the physical marriage a copy or pattern of our spiritual marriage with Christ? What does this mean for our prophetic understanding? Can we say that our marriage covenant with Christ is successful if we are lacking in prophetic knowledge and engaging in unwarranted and unbiblical speculations? After all, the Holy Spirit of Christ is a Spirit of prophecy.
Will Wars Ever End?
How will the world look like after Jesus Christ has returned and begun His
rule over the earth? Can we imagine what kind of conditions we will see?
Will man still be allowed to fight in war?
Scorn and Ridicule for God and His People
The Bible shows us that especially in these end times, many will scoff at God, His Word, His servants and His people. We should not be surprised when we are ridiculed and scorned. Those who may know us and do not approve of our new way of life may look for “reasons” to mock us and speak evil of us–because they themselves may not want to change. But we must also be careful that we do not unnecessarily provoke ridicule through our own conduct.
The Sufferings of the Apostle Paul
Paul had to endure much hardship, but he never gave up. This sermon discusses many of his trials, including his unjust arrests and illegal imprisonments; several attempts to murder him; numerous false accusations against him by Jews and Greeks; and many conspiracies by unbelieving Jews with the declared goal of assassinating him. But Paul knew that his trials served a godly purpose. And we will see how he received strength to endure victoriously, becoming worthy for the Kingdom of God.
Why Do We Keep Pentecost?
Size: 12.8 mb | Length: 36 minutes (Part 2)
Why is it impossible for man to keep the law of God? Why are we told that we are all sinners, and that there is no one who is righteous and seeks after God? Is there no hope for us? Or is there a way to live a life which is pleasing to God? Why did God give the Holy Spirit to His Church on the Day of Pentecost? Can this lead to a fundamental change within the carnal and natural man who is sold under sin? And if so, how exactly can and must this change occur?
Comfort and Encouragement
When we suffer, we must always remember that God does not forget our tears. Even when we are severely tested, God is there to help us. God wants to give us comfort and encouragement, as well as peace and tranquility; He has compassion for those who mourn and who are brokenhearted. The book of Ruth gives us an important understanding as to how the merciful God works in our lives.
Enemies of Faith
How strong are we when it comes to our faith and when our faith is being tested, will we give in to the enemies of faith? What are these enemies of faith?
Leaving the Church of God?
There have always been those who left the Church of God because of numerous reasons. Not everyone who attends Church services is part of the Church of God. Still, membership in the true Church of God is necessary for salvation. This sermon shows what is the Church of God; who leads and directs it; and why one must not forsake the Church of God, if one wants to inherit eternal life.
First Come First Served
Do we have the desire to be first? As we run our spiritual race to reach our ultimate potential, a constant challenge still lies ahead of us, as we will be faced with trials along the way. The finish line however, is well worth it!
