     | 3,998 views

    God sent Christ to fulfill the law, and he now allows us to satisfy it through our identification with him.

    Romans 7:1-13 Introduction: A. Do you ever wish they had consulted you before making a particular law? B.

    Melchizedek Who? Series

    Contributed by Davon Huss on May 2, 2011
     | 5,675 views

    A sermon on Hebrews 7 about Melchizedek and then talks about the greatness of Jesus Christ (Seed thought from Charles Spurgeon http://www.spurgeon.org/sermons/1835.htm) (Outline and much adapted from Harold Martin http://www.brfwitness.org/?p=356)

    HoHum: If we were asked to name the most important people in the OT, I doubt that Melchizedek’s name would be on our list. He appeared once, in Genesis 14:17-24; and once more, in Psalm 110:4. Read both passages. Psalm 110:4 is referred to twice in this chapter of Hebrews I would hardly call ...read more

    Jesus wants to baptize His people with the Holy Spirit and fire. It’s time to get ignited, and allow the refiner’s fire to burn away anything in us that’s not of the Lord!

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,002 views

    The devices of the Devil are desined to distort, destroy, distract and defeat the follower of Jesus Christ. One of his most powerful devices is the vice of apathy. The devil will put you in it and slowly tighten until you are cold to the things of God.

    Intro: Rollo May, “Hate is not the opposite of love – Apathy is.” One of the most powerful devices of the devil is apathy. Of all the attitudes that are given to the seven churches in the book of Revelation this is the one that makes Jesus sick to His stomach. What is the ...read more

    It’s important to recognize how our enemy works so we can be prepared to fight and win the spiritual battles we face. Let’s see what we can learn about Satan’s mode of operation.

    SATAN’S MODUS OPERANDI INTRODUCTION: Satan is real. Some people think Satan is not a literal being. They take the ‘D’ out of ‘devil’ so that you don’t have the person of the devil; you instead have the influence of evil. But that’s not reality. Satan’s greatest deception is to convince people ...read more

    Zephaniah is a little read and a little known Old Testament Prophecy but it is an important message for the world and for the Church. God will deal with evil, and there will come a day when he will rejoice over us with singing!

    Five years ago I was invited to preach on this Bible passage at a service of ‘Evensong’ in Winchester Cathedral.
