    Contributed by Jim Drake on Feb 27, 2008
    based on 84 ratings
     | 22,485 views

    Throughout history, God continually gave His chosen people urgent warnings. As Jesus looks out over the city of Jerusalem, He laments the fact that they failed to heed those warnings by refusing to recognize Him as their Messiah.

    1. The urgent warning of God’s permanent Word (37a) 2. The urgent warning of God’s passionate grace (37b) 3. The urgent warning of God’s present consequence (38) 4. The urgent warning of God’s pending judgment (39) MATTHEW 23:37-39 Thomas Huxley was known as Darwin’s Bulldog. He was one of the ...read more

    Urgent Adoration Series

    based on 104 ratings
     | 27,049 views

    We talk about worship all the time. But do we really know what worship is? If we’ve never had a breathtaking experience with worshipping Jesus, then we probably don’t. In our passage, Mary had a breathtaking experience with Jesus that is a great exampl

    1. The first attribute of urgent adoration is that urgent adoration is unrestrained. 2. The second attribute of urgent adoration is that urgent adoration is impractical. 3. The third attribute of urgent adoration is that urgent adoration is irreproachable. 4. The fourth attribute of urgent ...read more

    based on 74 ratings
     | 24,712 views

    Jesus is not just a forgotten name in a Book. He is God. God who took on our flesh. He took on our flesh just so He could suffer and die in it--so He could suffer the penalty of sin in our stead. And He told us to remember. So that’s what we’re going to

    1. Urgent remembrance requires the first cup of preparing 2. Urgent remembrance requires the second cup of purging 3. Urgent remembrance requires the third cup of partaking 4.

    Obedience Works! Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Mar 3, 2008
    based on 44 ratings
     | 33,723 views

    In one sense, the remnant was just like us--they had free access to the Word of God. God had just spoken His Word to them through Haggai and Zechariah. God’s Word was available--what were they going to do with it? What are we going to do with it?

    1. Obedience was immediate 2. Obedience was inspired 3. Obedience was inclusive 4. Obedience was investigated Imagine if you will, not having access to a Bible. Throughout history, that’s the way it’s been for most people. In the early church, the Bible consisted of the Greek translation of ...read more

    Urgent Preparation Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Mar 7, 2008
    based on 84 ratings
     | 25,633 views

    In this passage, Jesus knows what is in store for Him. He knows that within just a few short hours, He would be beaten and bruised and hung on an old rugged cross. He knows the tremendous task that lies ahead. So He knows He must urgently prepare.

    1. Urgently prepare in solitude 2. Urgently prepare in sorrow 3. Urgently prepare in submission 4. Don’t prepare by sleeping What would you do if you knew what was going to happen to you tomorrow? If, somehow, some way it was possible for you to look into the future—what would you do?

    Word Blessings Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Mar 17, 2008
    based on 49 ratings
     | 10,049 views

    God blesses His Word. The remnant heard God’s will clearly revealed in His Word and they didn’t ignore it or put it aside. They no longer stalled and delayed. This time, when they heard God’s Word, they obeyed His will. And when that happens, God blesses.

    1. God blessed the remnant with firm audacity (5:5) 2. God blessed the remnant with a fair assessment (5:6-6:5) 3. God blessed the remnant with a fervent advocate (6:6-13) 4. God blessed the remnant with full accomplishment (6:14-15) Back in the book of Exodus, when God was describing the priestly ...read more

    Urgent Atonement Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Mar 17, 2008
    based on 101 ratings
     | 18,069 views

    The cross is hideous. It’s not a pretty thing we hang on our walls. It’s not a fine piece of jewelry hanging from our neck. It is the most brutal instrument of death ever conceived by the cruel mind of man.

    For the past few weeks, we’ve been looking at the events of the last few days of Jesus’ life on earth. With each of those events, we’ve seen a sense of urgency. Each week we have seen an example of urgency. But this morning is different. In this morning’s passage, our Lord shows a sense of ...read more

    Test 2: Preference Test Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Oct 8, 2007
    based on 64 ratings
     | 27,050 views

    When we glory in the status of people, we forget how far we all fall short of the glory of God. The only thing we can glory in is the imputed righteousness of Christ. We forget that when we don’t treat people right.

    1. Introduction (2:1) 2. Treat people in light of man’s motives (2:2-4) 3. Treat people in light of God’s purposes (2:5-7) 4. Treat people in light of Jesus’ commandments (2:8-11) 5. Treat people in light of God’s mercy (2:12-13) JAMES 2:1 I recently heard a story about a man who was the interim ...read more

    Meet Me At The River

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Oct 23, 2007
    based on 32 ratings
     | 26,414 views

    I preached this sermon the Sunday prior to our annual fall revival meetings. The steps Ezra took the people through in this passage were foundational to the revival they experienced in Nehemiah 8 and 9.

    1. Fasting is required for revival (8:21-23) 2. Faith is required for revival (8:24-30) 3. Follow-through is required for revival (8:31) In just a minute, we’re going to read Nehemiah 9:5-6. But that’s not our text tonight. That is the result of our text tonight. Our text is actually going to ...read more

    Test 3: Works Test Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Oct 23, 2007
    based on 54 ratings
     | 7,359 views

    We don’t work for our faith—true Christians work as a result of our faith. The right kind of works are always a sure test to prove the genuineness of faith. James continues with the third test of faith—the works test.

    1. Works that show compassion for God’s creation (14-17) 2. Works that show trust in God’s Word (18-19) 3. Works that show hope in God’s promises (20-24) 4. Works that show service to God’s people (25-26) JAMES 2:26 Men, I want you to try this when you get home. Go into your wife’s favorite ...read more

    Test 4: The Tongue Test Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Oct 23, 2007
    based on 64 ratings
     | 54,570 views

    Jesus said what is in a person’s heart inevitably comes out of his mouth. As water flows from a well, words from your mouth reveal the source’s purity. Knowing that, it makes sense that James would make the tongue test a test of true faith.

    1. The first characteristic of a test-failing tongue is that it is condemning. (1-2) 2. The second characteristic of a test-failing tongue is that it is controlling (3-5a) 3. The third characteristic of a test-failing tongue is that it is consuming (5b-6) 4. The fourth characteristic of a ...read more

     | 22,366 views

    A sermon delivered to the 2007 annual meeting of the Mountain State Baptist Association exhorting the primarily pastoral audience to finish their ministries well.

    1. The first prideful trap that will keep you from finishing well is your prosperity (3-15a) 2. The second prideful trap that will keep you from finishing well is your press clippings (15b-16) 3. The third prideful trap that will keep you from finishing well is your position (17-20) 4. Conclusion: ...read more

    Test 5: The Wisdom Test, Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Nov 2, 2007
    based on 67 ratings
     | 13,412 views

    There are two types of wisdom—man’s wisdom and the kind of wisdom that only comes from God. The kind of true wisdom that only comes from God is evidence of real faith.

    1. Introduction (13) 2. Roots of test-failing wisdom (14) 3. Attributes of test-failing wisdom (15) 4. Fruits of test-failing wisdom (16) JAMES 3:13 Have you ever flown on one of those little puddle-jumper airplanes? I have and let me tell you, they’re not very much fun.

    Who God Uses Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Nov 3, 2007
    based on 69 ratings
     | 19,007 views

    Do we have to be obedient to God for His will to be accomplished? Far from it. God doesn’t depend on us for anything. Even though we can never expedite or stifle God’s plans, our level of obedience will determine our reward.

    1. God uses kings to keep His Word (1-4) 2. God uses His people to keep His Word (5) 3. God uses other people to keep His Word (6) EZRA 1:1a There are so many questions in life, aren’t there? For at least 3000 years, philosophers have worked on trying to answer only two questions—what is real ...read more

    A look at what jealousy did to Saul (and what it usually does to us).

    - Examples: 1. The neighbor with more stuff. 2. The sibling with more attention. 3. The co-worker with more success. - Jealousy is one of those sins that we treat as not being a big deal. What It Does: Jealousy often creates enemies where none exist. - 1 Samuel 18:5a. - David remained ...read more
