    A sermon for closing out the old year by realizing that "the end of a thing is better than it’s beginning." (Ecc. 7:8)

    As I reflected on the end of the year and what to say to you in this last Sunday morning sermon of 2001, I thought of Solomon’s words in Ecclesiastes 7:8 “The end of a thing is better than its beginning;” Now I know some brethren would like to say that a proper translation of that verse is that the ...read more

    Have you ever prayed for patience and wish you hadn’t? It doesn’t have to be that way. Learn how having Patience through Christ will bring about Power, Perfection, Prosperity, Purpose and Provisions.

    WESTSIDE BAPTIST CHURCH PASTOR: TERRY VAUGHAN SERMON TITLE: IS THERE PROFIT IN PATIENCE? “For God so loved the world , that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

    A Season Of Mourning Series

    The hope of the Christian is not that we will never experience grief or sorrow. Our hope and confidence is that when we do, Christ will strengthen and comfort us.

    This is week two of a series of messages on the topic of “seasons” in the Christian life. What’s a season? A season is a period of time, long or short, when our lives tend to be dominated by one particular issue. For instance, last week, we looked at “waiting” as one of these seasons.

    I deal with the fact that we are not inherently good but sinners in need of "Someone" to fix us.

    Tonight we are going to talk about another reason why some people are not interested in the God of the Bible. The second element of any worldview is the way it explains the human dilemma. Why is there war and suffering, disease and death? "Why?" This one word question has been the motivation ...read more

    this sermon is to encourage people to not give up Jesus, but stay a christian until we reach Heaven.

    HOLD ON TO THE END ECCLESIASTES 7:7-8 . connected with Ec 7:7. Let the "wise" wait for "the end," and the "oppressions" which now (in "the beginning") perplex their faith, will be found by God’s working to be overruled to their good.

    Este es un breve mensaje para el funeral de una persona no creyente o que no sabemos si aceptó a Jesucristo como su Salvador. Tiene un giro evangelístico, pero pretende motivar a un público mayormente no cristiano a acercarse a Dios y a la iglesia.

    En este momento de dolor y tristeza para las familias ___(nombre de las dos familias principales del fallecido)_______, saquemos un momento para reflexionar sobre lo que nos dice la palabra de Dios en el libro de Eclesiastés 7: Vs. 1 Vale más el buen nombre que el buen ...read more

    HOw do gain wisdom? Sometimes we find that what works in one situation backfires in another. But ecclesisastes helps us to see that the only source for wisdom is God himself.

    Wisdom is one of those things we all aim for as we go through life. We try to teach it to our children from an early age. We want them to avoid the mistakes that we or others have made. So what do we do? We teach them the same way people have done it for millennia: through the use of proverbs. You ...read more

    How to achieve your desired end? Do we have the right attitude...?

    It is such a joy to speak on the title – the end of the matter, because it is always the end that matters and not how we begin. Over the years in ministry I have seen a lot of people who began well but ended very badly or sometimes not even to be seen. On the contrary there are few others who had ...read more

    Slightly sarcastic view of "the good old days". Like the scripture, this reminds people to live in the present, and not long for so-called better days of the past.

    Ecclesiastes 7:10 – The Good Old Days? Oh Please! Tonight, instead of looking at a major topic in Ecclesiastes, I am going to look at one verse. It’s a verse that speaks to all of us, no matter how old we are. 7:10. This verse is funny because it so much speaks to who we are, and what we ...read more
