    The Reality Of Hell

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 23, 2024
     | 944 views

    People often question what it takes to get to heaven. People question and wonder what heaven is really like. But you never really hear anyone ask about what hell is like. It makes me wonder if people even realize how real hell is.

    For the last couple of weeks you may have noticed that we have talked about Jesus being the only way to heaven and we considered the question “won't all people ultimately go to heaven?” People often question what it takes to get to heaven. People question and wonder what heaven is really like. ...read more

    Doesn't Everyone Go To Heaven?

     | 1,494 views

    Our world today will try to convince people that ultimately everyone goes to heaven. God makes it very clear that is not the truth.

    I mentioned last Sunday that the world tries to convince people that there is more than one way to get to heaven. God showed us in Scripture that His Son Jesus told us very plainly that He is the way, the truth, and the life, and that no one gets to the father unless they go through Jesus. But ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,355 views

    Many in today's world will question if Jesus is the only way to God? You might be asking, “Do some people REALLY think there are other ways to get to heaven?” Yes, some are being led to believe that.

    The title of the message today is Jesus, The Only Way. Many in today's world will question if Jesus is the only way to God? You might be asking, “Do some people REALLY think there are other ways to get to heaven?” Yes, some are being led to believe that. That is the route we will take today ...read more

    Why Do We Suffer?

     | 803 views

    No matter which direction you turn, it won't take long to come across someone who is suffering. And the common question that is asked in the midst of that suffering is, why me? Unfortunately, many individuals never get past those words.

    Today we're going to try to answer the question why do we suffer. The very first class that I was able to take in seminary was entitled the problems of evil and suffering. That class raised the same question that we're going to try to answer today. Why do we suffer? No matter which ...read more

    The Great Shepherd's Claims Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 2, 2024
     | 582 views

    Jesus still is trying to solidify His claims of who He is.

    As we move along in our study of the Gospel of John we will pick up in verse 17. READ 17-18. This is the final proof that Jesus is the Good Shepherd and that is in His sacrificial death and resurrection. A shepherd’s greatest sacrifice was to give his life for his sheep. A shepherd who died for ...read more

    Looking Back Or Looking Forward

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 2, 2024
     | 1,272 views

    This is a New Year message concerning looking forward to what God has in store for us in the New Year.

    It is said that Hudson Taylor, a missionary to China years ago, used to hang in his home a plaque with two Hebrew Words on it: EBENEZER & JEHOVAH JIREH. The first word, EBENEZER, means ‘Hitherto hath the Lord helped us’ and the second JEHOVAH JIREH, ‘The Lord will see to it or provide.’ One ...read more

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Dec 19, 2023
     | 931 views

    Just about everyone wants to go home for Christmas. Come Christmas time, we get this inner yearning to go back home. It’s as though we want to revisit our days of growing up. We want to go back to the place where all of our childhood memories were made.

    Christmas Eve. Can you believe it? Today we come together to celebrate the day before the anticipated arrival of our Savior. Let’s start there with that well known story of the birth of Jesus. PRAYER Luke 2:1-20 – “And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus ...read more

    This message is based upon the song "Mary Did You Know" by Mark Lowry.

    Today is the 4th Sunday of Advent. So far, during these weeks of Advent, as we anticipate the celebration of Jesus’ birth, we have talked about HOPE, JOY, & PEACE. Today we look at LOVE.

    Christmas Peace

     | 3,343 views

    On this 3rd Sunday of Advent, God speaks to our hearts about Christmas Peace. The Apostle Paul explained God’s peace as a “peace that surpasses all understanding.” But let’s take a few moments today and look at peace as presented to us in God’s Word.

    Today marks the 3rd week of Advent. Our Advent season began with us talking about Christmas HOPE. We learned that our HOPE is in the fact that our Savior has come. God showed us that the reality of Christmas is the fact that our Savior has come. The miracle of Christmas is also that our Savior ...read more

    Common Ways To Lead An Uncommon Life Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 28, 2023
     | 1,049 views

    Sometimes we see the big picture of how having faith in Christ leads to heaven but we miss the fact that He has so much to say about our every-day life.

    When God became man in the person of Jesus He came to earth as regular people. He wasn’t surrounded in thunderbolts, He wasn’t wearing a halo around His head. He came into this world as the helpless child of an everyday couple. He skinned his knuckles in the carpenter’s shop of his stepfather ...read more

    Christmas Hope

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 28, 2023
     | 3,238 views

    If we don’t allow the hustle and bustle of the world’s hectic race to find the perfect gift, and if we step back and look at the real reason we celebrate, our hearts are happier. We smile more. Hopefully we get a little bit closer to those we love, not always, but we can hope for that.

    Can you believe it? It seems like yesterday that we were in the advent season. For those that may not know what Advent is, Advent is the 4 Sundays after Thanksgiving that lead up to Christmas day. This year there are actually 5 Sundays between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. So, our Advent ...read more

    Miracles - Do You Believe In Them?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 7, 2023
     | 668 views

    Somehow some people can ignore what's right in front of their faces if it doesn't correspond to what they already believe.

    Can you think of a time when you were part of an unbelievable moment? Can you think of a time when you saw a miracle? Throughout my time as pastor here at SEBC I have experienced many miracles. One that immediately comes to mind occurred a few years ago. I received a call from a man's family ...read more

    Does It Matter What Truth You Believe?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 1, 2023
     | 1,311 views

    With all the false doctrine in the world today, does it matter which truth we choose to believe?

    Many of us here today grew up in a world that was fairly simple. The things that we saw on television, read in the paper, or were taught in school were real facts and events that were happening or had happened in history. The world we live in today is a lot different. We're given little ...read more

    Are You Prepared For The Battle?

     | 1,900 views

    We need to be aware of the spiritual battle that takes place every time we pray.

    In January 1944, the US army created the ghost army. Their purpose was to trick the forces of Nazi Germany about the size and location of the allied forces. The ghost army would inflate rubber tanks, jeeps, trucks, and all other kinds of armaments and camouflage them so well that Nazi air patrols ...read more
