    Much of this sermon was inspired by Mark Dever’s teachings on Expository preaching from his 9 Marks of a Healthy Church series - a series that has greatly changed my view on preaching.

    You Got Future Plans?

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 3, 2009
    based on 10 ratings
     | 6,581 views

    It is good to have goals, but goals will disappoint us if we leave God out of them. There is no point in making plans as though God did not exist, because the future is in His hands. That man walks most safely who has the least confidence in himself.

    Opening illustration: Fortuneteller, gazing into crystal ball, to frog: You are going to meet a beautiful young woman. From the moment she sets eyes on you she will have an insatiable desire to know all about you. She will be compelled to get close to you - you’ll fascinate her." Frog: "Where am I? ...read more

    Satan's War Against God's Creaton Ii Series

    Contributed by David Scudder on Feb 16, 2009
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,026 views

    If God’s judgments sound strange to us it’s because we do not fully understand the holiness of God and the sinfulness of man. Man’s purpose for living is to glorify God and every person will ultimately glorify God.

    Revelation 6:3-4; 12:3-4a Purpose: To expose the awfulness of sin. Aim: I want the listener to hate sin and forsake it. INTRODUCTION: At first glance, it seems odd to us that the glorious worship of chapters 4 & 5 is immediately followed by the awful judgments that begin in chapter 6. But, the ...read more
