    Whenever you see an awakening taking place, you see people crying out to God in confession of sin. Sometimes this can be gradual, where God’s people really listen to the preaching of the Word. And at other times, there’s a sudden change as if an invisible thunderbolt from heaven comes down.

    Introduction A revival is a time when sleepy Christians wake up, when nominal Christians convert to Christ, and when non-Christians come to faith in Christ. This is accompanied by an increase in the conviction of sin, an increase in the consciousness of God’s mercy and our unworthiness. You see, a ...read more

    Author Lloyd C. Douglas used to tell how he loved to visit an old man who gave violin lessons. He enjoyed visiting him because he had a kind of homely wisdom that was refreshing to him.

    One morning he walked into his studio and greeted him by saying, "Well, what's the good news today?" Putting down his violin, the teacher stepped over to a tuning fork suspended from a cord and struck it and said, "There is the good news for today." He continued, ...read more

    In today’s text Jesus is talking to His disciples about what will happen in the future. In fact, John 14 -17 is what some refer to as the “Farewell Discourse”. Jesus is talking to them about the connection to obedience and love and how that will be important in their work as disciples.

    John 14:15 – 21 (NRSV)   15 “If you love me, you will keep[a] my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate,[b] to be with you forever. 17 This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither ...read more

    In the midst of the spiritual wilderness that we find ourselves in today, our serenity … our comfort … our confidence comes from the fact that God provides us with our daily bread.

    After Jesus was baptized, the Gospel writers say that Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness where He was tempted by the devil for 40 days (Matthew 4:1-11; Mark 1:12-13; Luke 4:1-13). During that time, Jesus ate nothing. At this point, the devil attempts to use Jesus’ hunger to ...read more

    Why am I doing a Christmas sermon after Christmas? Many people enjoy keeping their Christmas lights on after Christmas. So it seems appropriate that the after Christmas sermon would be about light. Not Christmas lights but the real Christmas light.

    This sermon will give us greater understanding of the one who wants to drag us to hell, the devil. We will come to know that Satan is the originator of lies, and the deceiver of mankind.

    Don’t let this title have you to believe that I am going to give a glowing report of the devil. No! It is more of a sarcastic title for one whom the bible calls the prince of the air, one who has a short reign to try and destroy as many of you as he can. So, this is my time to give you an ...read more

    Satan’s got the church believing it doesn’t need miracles, because we are far more educated than they were in biblical times. But everyone, young and old, sick and not so sick, healthy or not healthy, employed or not employed, persecuted or well liked, needs a miracle.
