Church of Christ gospel sermon:  Hell the Eternal Home of the Doomed
Hell the Eternal Home of the Doomed   The Hebrew word She-owl is translated into Greek as Hades and into English as Hell.  All these words mean the same place which is the place of the dead.  During Old Testament times it had 2 parts, torment which was the place of the unbelieving dead, separated from Abraham's bosom, the place of the believing dead.

Church of Christ gospel sermon:  Dead Sea Scrolls in Pictures  In 1947 a young boy found a group of scrolls in a cave that has proved the faithfulness of the transmission of the Old Testament (OT) Scriptures.  Until their discovery, the oldest Old Testament was the Alpo Leningrad codex from about 1,100AD, but this discovery has pushed our oldest copies of the Bible back to the 3rd century before Christ.  Every book of the O.T. except Esther was found in 11 caves along with a library of sectarian writings.  We will see 116 pictures and examine some of the unique finds such as: 4QMMT which was hidden by Catholic scholars for over 50 years because of its use of certain Pauline terms.   We will examine:  the Messiah of Heaven & Earth,  4Q521  which has exact verbal parallels to Ma. 11:4-5  & Luke 7:22-23;  the Son of God Text,  4Q246 which has exact verbal parallels to Luke 1:32 & 35; and the Pierced Messiah Text, 4Q285 which expounds on Isaiah 10:34 -11:1ff, which we in the Churches of Christ have always recognized as Messianic scripture, adding the element of a suffering, atoning Messiah to Isaiah 11.    Invitation Song - Amazing Grace;  Invitation: 1 Baptism & 9 for prayers.  Closing Song - Standing On The Promises

Therefore for it to come true Jerusalem and the Walls & Gates must be re-built and the Messiah the Lord Himself has to come and enter by this gate before it's shut Ezekiel 43:1-7 Cf: Revelations 1:15, Mark 11:1ff.
