When our base drives are confined by the shackles of God’s love, they are morphed into rockets of exploration. I believe Paul and Timothy invite us to join them in prison and slavery, and, thereby, to become agents of unimaginable liberation.

Satan’s schemes are prolific and we touch on only a few of them. This time I will do the selected men Satan used to murder hundreds of millions; and we look at the damage from Higher Criticism and liberalism in the churches. Prosperity teaches are looked at. We are conscious of Satan’s schemes.
WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF SATAN’S DEVICES OR SCHEMES – PART 6 [20].

My question today is, “What is the hope of revival?” In all honesty the answer is, it’s a mystery. It’s a mystery in the biblical sense of that word. I believe the hope of revival is in the mystery that has now been made known verses 26-27, “the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and ...read more
Scripture: Colossians 1:24-29
Based on King David's testimony in Psalm 32, this sermon charts the spiritual journey from the crushing "agony" of unconfessed sin to the liberating "alleluia" of divine forgiveness found through honest confession.
Introduction: The Heaviest Burden My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, what is the heaviest thing you have ever carried? Some of us might think of a physical load-moving furniture, carrying heavy equipment. Others might think of an emotional burden-the weight of grief, the strain of a difficult ...read more

Scripture: 1 Peter 1:1-12
The Tower of Babel is a life parable telling of the dangers of the Spirit of the Age - Poverty of Spirituality and Pride of Life - and the chaos it brings which only Christ’s redemption can right.

It all results from human beings’ failing to live in dependence on God, becoming proud of their achievements and determined to be the source of their own security. That was the root ...read more
Scripture: Genesis 11:1-9
The purpose of these judgments is: 1. To bring people to repentance. 2. To demonstrate the patience of God. 3. To establish God’s justice.

As each seal is broken, it unleashes a new barrage of God’s judgment against an evil and Christ-rejecting world. ...read more

The Christians in Rome were apprehensive as to the future so Paul diagnoses the Problem and finds the Solution in Christ which gives us assurance in entering the New Year.
NEW YEAR ASSURANCE IN PAUL’S TRIUMPH SONG "What will this year bring?" I expect that all of us in our private thoughts, or even spoken, have wondered what’s in store for us.
