    The Spirit of Grace & Supplication wants us to move from the darkness of the world we live in, and into the realm of Glory where he lives. Or put another way he wants us to return to the Glory we had in Adam before the fall.

He brings conviction then shows favour to the convicted ones heart so they can respond, He is also the Spirit of supplication, causing words to rise up in the sinners heart in order to become right with a Holy God!

    This sermon examines the need for Revival in our churches and in our nation, and also gives a possible reason why we (The United States)have not experienced a nationwide Revival for over a century.

    Introduction: Have you ever gone out to eat at a fancy restaurant, and even though your food looked and smelled great, it didn’t satisfy you?

    The crowd cried for Jesus to be crucified and put to death but requested the killer, Barabbas be released in the streets. The truth was put to death but sin and death was released to the streets.

    “Give Us Barabbas” Intro: As we study God’s Word we find particular people who are mentioned briefly and we soon pass over their record without fully gleaning the full significance of their rolls nor their application for us today. We should be very careful to remember that God has chosen to ...read more

    Revive Us Again

     | 9,143 views

    We are constantly in need of the inner stirrings of the Holy Spirit. This sermon reassures US that God is always there to revive our spirit amid the tough times of life.

    This should be the cry of every child of God. The need for revival presupposes that a period of decline exist. It suggest that the candle of faith is burning low. Spiritual passion has become lackluster. First love has become left love. Worship has become moderate to light. The pews are filled ...read more

    This sermon reminds us that when given the choice between good and evil, we will naturally pick that which is evil.
