People all over are preparing for the coronavirus. How should we prepare for the coronavirus? If you were to contract the coronavirus and die, would you be prepared to meet your maker?

It is Appointed Unto Man Once to Die, and Then the Judgment, Pastor Bryan Longworth, Covenant Tabernacle
This past week, we saw three legends, Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, and Ed McMahon all went to meet their maker. All three had fame and made a lot of money in their lifetime, though two died deeply in debt.

12/26/10, Sermon, What scripture teaches us about Mary, the mother of Christ, Immaculate Conception
What scripture teaches us about Mary, the mother of Christ. Was her conception an immaculate one? (Was she born w/o the adamic nature or w/o original sin?) Does the Bible encourage us to pray to saints, including Mary? Should we revere and honor Mary? Is the Assumption doctrine scriptural, that is, was Mary taken to heaven after her life’s end w/o
