The turkey isn't necessary, but Thanksgiving is! We all meet for food, fellowship, feasting, and football on Thanksgiving Day. But if that is all we do, we miss the real benefit. Maybe it is because we do not understand that when we thank God, it brings six distinct benefits to us. You might call this sermon, "Thanksgiving: What's in it for me?" Pastor Robert Rohlin covers the benefits of Thanksgiving and shows that it is, in reality, a practical spiritual weapon we cannot live without. We often do not feel like thanking God, and that is the exact time that we need Thanksgiving the most!

Pastor Robert Rohlin examines Daniel's dream in Daniel 7 and shows what will be happening in Europe during the end times and how you can see Europe's recent history carrying out Daniel's prophecy. In one respect, it is frightening to see how Europe and other parts of our world are being set up to make way for the reign of the antichrist. But in another way, we can take comfort that God has already told us the future and is preparing our hearts to share Christ with others while we still have time.

In this sermon, he uncovers a mathematical difference about the age of a patriarch between Old and New Testament accounts and how it reveals to us that we can lose our spiritual legacy when we fail to obey God or take a detour from His revealed will.

Pastor Robert Rohlin on Resurrection Sunday reminds us of 4 key proofs that the resurrection of Christ is real. And that is important, because the resurrection is the key focal point of the Gospel. It is the reason we worship Christ in church, the reason we have hope of eternal life, and the only reason for spending time focused on our relationship with Jesus. This sermon concludes with the powerful story of Edith "Easter" Burns -- a godly woman from San Antonio TX who is now in the presence of Christ. Don't miss this heartwarming story that concludes this message..

Pastor Dale Thornton and his wife Barbara served as missionaries spent 40 years as misisonaries to Taiwan. They saw God provide in marvelous ways to be able to plant churches there. He shares their journey and encourages us from Acts 1:4-9.

Paul really loves the Tessalonians. So, with fatherly concern, he encourages them repeatedly to hold on to the truth and stand firm. One of the problems today though is that so few church members are skilled at identifying truth. They get deluded by religions that incorporate human tradition and trust that equally or even more than the Word of God. But only the written revelation of Scripture can be our inerrant, infallible, inspired, and imperative rule of faith and practices. Cults and groups that believe human tradition continues to add to revelation (like Catholicism and Greek Orthodoxy) lead to dangerous conclusions on a foundation of shifting sand. Only the Word of God is the bedrock on which we should base our lives. Pastor Robert Rohlin takes a careful look at what Paul means when he encourages the Thessalonian Christians to stand firm in the traditions that they were taught. It clearly is a reference to apostolic teaching before the written Word was available. But he cautions them against the "tradit

One of the most often-argued theological concepts is the role of God's election and man's free will in determining who will go to heaven. Some people go to one extreme of claiming that man's free will has no role and that if God choosed you to be saved, you will be saved. Another group claims it is all about the free will of man and that God's calling has nothing to do with it. However, the fact is that Scripture teaches both the choice or election of God and the free will of man have a part in salvation. Pastor Robert Rohlin explains how marriage reflects this mutual choice where God chooses us but we must also choose Jesus Christ. This sermon is not a comprehensive treatment of these issues, because Pastor Robert Rohlin confines the focus to this passage in 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17.

Exodus 15:22-27 gives an account of Jochebed, the mother of Moses. Pastor Robert Rohlin combines the insights from her life with his own experience of some godly mothers in his life to describe the profound effect that a godly mother can have on her family.

This Mother's Day sermon is a bit unique. Yes, we start with Scripture, but the main points were taken from the life of a godly mother whom I called "Miss Margie." As I thought about Mother's Day, it encouraged me to remember her life and the example that she set.

When Israel was wondering whether God would destroy them or save them, God answers by sending comfort to His people. What does God do that gives us comfort? Pastor Dale Thornton explains how God comforted His people with the promise of the Messiah and then perfectly set up the circumstances of history for the coming of Jesus Christ.

Someone once said, "Man proposes, but God disposes." Another has said, "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry." We make lots of plans, and most of them fail. One of the reasons is that our plans fail to include God's perspective. So how do we plan as Christians? After all, to fail to plan is to plan to fail. We have to keep God as part of the decision-making process. Pastor Robert Rohlin discusses this important concept as he continues our study of the book of James.

Eternal life is not achieved by getting sacraments from a church. It is not about doing more good works than bad works. It requires accepting the only payment for our sins. It requires a singular focus on Christ to save you. Pastor Dale Thornton explains in simple fashion these truths and ends with a testimony by a prominent pastor of his own salvation experience.
