Sermons on Renews:

The Ripple Effect Of Revival

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 10, 2025

Revival is not merely a series of emotional meetings or a spiritual high—it is a divine awakening. It is when God breathes life into dry bones, rekindles the fire of holiness, and restores His people to intimacy and purpose. Revival is heaven invading earth.

OPENING ILLUSTRATION: One of the most difficult things in the ministry of the church is to raise dead things to life. God gave us this opportunity in the heartland to do it. It can take years but it’s not impossible. 📖 INTRODUCTION: WHAT IS REVIVAL? Beloved, the word "revival" ...read more

The Heart Of The Matter

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 17, 2025

God’s grace replaces our stone hearts with living ones, using unlikely means to prove salvation beats only by His mercy.

Ezekiel 36 : 26 — “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you.” --- 1. The Vegetarian With a Pig’s Heart My ex-wife’s grandfather was a conservative Adventist doctor in Napa City—the kind of man who read Ministry of Healing like it was Mosby’s Medical Dictionary and treated ...read more

The Can Is Empty

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 18, 2025

Humanity was created full, fractured by sin, yet through Christ the Living Water, God refills us to reflect His image again.

Introduction – Just Add Water I bought a can of dehydrated water the other day. The label said, “Just add water.” I stared at it for a while and thought, Now there’s an honest product — empty but hopeful. A can of dehydrated water — an empty container promising to be full if you supply the one ...read more

It Begins With Me

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 31, 2025

Revival starts where one heart turns—opening closed doors, cleansing hidden sin, and welcoming the Spirit’s rain until joy returns again.

Introduction — The Long Wait for Rain Sometimes revival doesn’t arrive with thunder. Sometimes it seeps in quietly—like rain through hard, cracked ground. For years we may live with the crust of complacency, calling it contentment. We tell ourselves that the season of power is past, that we’ve ...read more

That’s The Book For Me

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 12, 2025

God’s Word is wonderful to appreciate, vital to absorb, and powerful to apply—it shapes our steps, anchors our souls, and reveals God’s heart.

Part 1 — Appreciate Your Bible Most of us first met the Bible through a song long before we could spell “theology.” > “The B-I-B-L-E, yes that’s the book for me; I stand alone on the Word of God—the B-I-B-L-E. That little chorus carried a big truth: when all other voices clash, there’s one ...read more

I Wander As I Wander

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 13, 2025

Wandering ends when we trust God more than our fears, letting His presence lead our hearts out of old circles and into promise.

There’s a phrase that has been turning over in my heart—one you might recognize, though not quite in the form you learned it. We know the old carol, “I Wonder as I Wander.” But somewhere along the way, in the wilderness seasons of my own life, it became this: “I wander as I wander.” Not poetic. ...read more

Return To A Listening Heart

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 22, 2025

A pastor’s burden exposes spiritual deafness in the church and calls believers and leaders alike to listen, repent, realign, and return to Christ.

There are moments in ministry when the burden becomes heavier than the words. Moments when you stand before God with His people on your heart and realize that what troubles you most is not persecution from the outside, but resistance on the inside. God spoke through Jeremiah to a people who were ...read more

Peter’s Spiritual Inventory Introduction In less than twelve hours I went from someone who said, “Jesus I will never deny you” to someone who denied him three times.

My Parents "Rewedding"

Contributed by Lyle Asbill on Dec 22, 2007

This was the service in honor of my parents 50th wedding annivesary where they renewed their vows.

Who brings these two, who after fifty years want to declare that their only regret is that God has not promised fifty more but also that their greatest joy is being able to look forward to walking hand in hand for eternity? (in unison “We Do”) (Assume our positions on the platform) Let us ...read more

Restoring Confidence In Prayer

Contributed by Bruce Willis on Feb 17, 2003

This sermon seeks to encourage believers to renew their confidence in prayer with emphasis on Petitionary and Intercessory prayer.

Would you believe that a Christian could lose confidence in prayer? Well, I contend that a Christian can. Now, for most of us we would not want to admit that we’ve lost confidence in prayer; that is perhaps because of our piousness or human pride. But a person can lose confidence in their ...read more

Obeying The Crucial Word Of God

Contributed by Jason Lim on Oct 15, 2015

Three principles to obeying the crucial word of God taken from the renewing of the covenant at Shechem.

We might sometimes think, you know, we should be out there, doing great stuff, lots of stuff for God. Get all busy, let the Word be made known, destroy the arguments of non-believers. The people of Israel, in their conquest for the land of Canaan, they were busy fighting the battle of Jericho and ...read more
