    Wake Up And Come To Your Sense

    Contributed by Nolan Albert on Aug 9, 2005
    based on 20 ratings
     | 8,150 views

    This semon is generally addressing the notion that we as Christians do not always act and react as a child of God should.

    Many people do not look at things realistically. They often act before they think and therefore their actions are often irrational. When we act without God’s guidance and the Holy Spirit, we often regret our actions. It is often said, "When one does something or says something that does not make ...read more

    Have you heard that saying, " there’s gold in them there pews." Well, every potential leader in your church needs these words of warning.

    A Check Up from the Heart Up! Text: Matthew 15: 1-3, 8-14 1 Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying, 2 “Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”3 He answered and said to them, “Why ...read more

    The Church was never meant to be a museum of saints but a barracks for soldiers. We were not called to maintain comfort, status, or cultural approval—but to advance the Kingdom against the very gates of Hell.

    Matthew 16:18–19 (NKJV) “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on ...read more

    Christ has been lifted high for us.

    Lifting high Jesus… Pastor Richard Abernathy John 12:32 I was sitting in a devotional meeting the other day listening to a rather dispassionate preacher. This man was trying to make the point that if we, as professing Christians, would simply come together, in Jesus’ name, we could forget about ...read more

    Christ builds His church and Satan cannot prevail because he does not have the right. The church has the authority to defeat Satan.

    Jesus said, "On this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it" (Matthew 16:18, NIV). In biblical times, city gates were fortified to protect against enemy armies. The gates were the only entrance to the city, and anyone who wanted to enter had to seek permission from ...read more

    Advent is the time of preparation for the coming of our heavenly King. How do we receive him in our Christian community and in our personal lives? Are the gates wide open, or does he need to knock at our door, locked from the inside?

    [Sermon preached on 3 December 2017, First Sunday in Advent / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] This past week, Finland had the honor of welcoming three royal visitors: Prince William of the United Kingdom, Prince Daniel of Sweden, and Prince Constantijn of my own home country, the Netherlands.

    It is a curious thing to live IN the world yet not be OF the world.

    Love Not the World We are Just Passing Through Down Here We all know that we are not going to be in this world all that much longer.

    Love is an essential character trait for the believer. The Lord loved us, so we are expected to love one another. This is easy preaching, but often a difficult practice. John reveals great truth regarding the love we should possess.

    Love Lifted Me 1 John 4: 11-16 John 13:34-35 – A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. [35] By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. There can be no doubt that Jesus loved ...read more

    Jesus is the gate through whom we enter in to a life of fellowship with God’s family and an abundant life of green pastures.

    John 10:1-10 “I am the Gate” INTRODUCTION We are surrounded by gates. We arrive at and depart from airports through gates. In order to get to those gates we pass through a security gate. Many of us have gates that provide an entrance into a courtyard, or security gates that keep people out. ...read more
