    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Dec 30, 2012
    based on 5 ratings
     | 23,210 views

    Three men each making a statement regarding his commitment or lack of commitment to following Christ. Each wanted to follow Christ; none wanted to stop looking back. Their commitment can be described as limited, delayed, and insincere.

    Don’t Look Back Luke 9:57-62 Would you consider yourself a committed Christian? Realistically, are you a disciple of Christ or merely a follower of Christ? There is a difference. Three men each making a statement regarding his commitment or should I say lack of commitment to following ...read more

    Stop looking for the answers in the cemeteries, there is no life there, there’s no celebration there, there’s no music and there is no fire.

    It is reported in Matthew 27:50-51, 54 (NIV) And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. 51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. Matthew 27:54 When the centurion and those with him who were ...read more

    The King of Eternity came into this world and the world had no idea what had taken place. Politicians, Priests, and the Public missed one of the greatest miracles ever for they weren’t looking for Him. Are we any different?

    THEY WEREN’T LOOKING FOR HIM Matthew 2:1-18 Introduction: When we consider the events surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ, we quite often forget the obscurity in which the events took place. The appearance of the wise men and the reaction of their message reveal the depth of that obscurity. The ...read more

    For those born of the water and the Spirit, church isn’t just part of their lives; it IS their life. Everything else revolves around the fact that church is the heartbeat of Christianity.

    LOOK WHAT THE WIND BLEW IN John 3 Here Jesus explains to a doctor of the law that his religion and his own righteousness were not enough before God; but that he had to be born again. Everyone birthed into God is born of the Spirit. To help Nicodemus understand – the moving of the wind. The ...read more

    Don’t Look Back!

    Why should Christians remember Lot’s wife? Just like Sodom and Gomorrah, before Christ’s return, the world will be saturated with evil. Christians are warned to come out of the world and not be a part of it.

    Opening illustration: If a person sees a house on fire and does everything he can to rescue the occupants, he is heralded as a hero. And that’s the way it should be. Why is it, then, that a Christian who accepts what God says in the Bible about hell and tries to warn people is ridiculed as an ...read more

    We must remain watchful, knowing that God’s promise to pour out His Spirit in these last days is quickly coming for the church that desires to set their desires on His plans, purposes, and passion.

    WHAT WILL REVIVAL LOOK LIKE?
