    The Apostle foretells a day when Christians will deliberately turn their backs on sound doctrine, embracing error because it makes them comfortable and because the error is convenient.

    A sermon for the 2003 World Day of Prayer. The reason the Holy Spirit doesn’t seem to be moving on us at the moment may be that he has to renew us before he can fill us.

It is a prayer that God has been pleased to answer since that first Pentecost. However, it is a prayer ...read more

    In a world obsessed with status, self-promotion, and influence, Jesus calls us to the opposite mindset - releasing our grip on personal rights, comfort, and ambition, so that the glory of God may be revealed through our obedience.

    Let’s not just learn what God says. Let’s Just Do it! You haven't really learned the Word until you live the Word. We often are hearers of the Word and not doers. We learn and teach God’s Word more than obeying it ourselves.
