    The opening scene of the book is tragic for we find three graves in Moab. Let’s notice the story behind these 3 graves.

    Edward Boone said, "The book of Ruth is the history of a Jewish family, who, like the prodigal of Luke fifteen, went into the far country of Moab and there "began to be in want." W.G. Heslop writes, “The book of Ruth consists of less than 100 verses, and yet it would be impossible to exhaust it ...read more

    Christians are to sound the alarm of judgment, but also the alarm to repent. We warn, but also offer the hope found in repentance.

    Sound the Alarm! Joel 2:1-17 In the late 1990’s, our family lived in a split level apartment in Union Township… just north of Cincinnati, Oh. It was a great location in many ways…it was close to a major freeway, but not so close that we had to listen to its traffic, it was just 5 minutes from the ...read more

    If God’s judgments sound strange to us it’s because we do not fully understand the holiness of God and the sinfulness of man. Man’s purpose for living is to glorify God and every person will ultimately glorify God.

    Revelation 6:3-4; 12:3-4a Purpose: To expose the awfulness of sin. Aim: I want the listener to hate sin and forsake it. INTRODUCTION: At first glance, it seems odd to us that the glorious worship of chapters 4 & 5 is immediately followed by the awful judgments that begin in chapter 6. But, the ...read more

    Much of this sermon was inspired by Mark Dever’s teachings on Expository preaching from his 9 Marks of a Healthy Church series - a series that has greatly changed my view on preaching.

    Fearing God is essential in order to be spiritually successful. Christians need to cultivate this virtue in their lives.

    Today, we are going to examine a topic that once was considered to be a very basic part of religious life. It was discussed quite often even to the extent that it was part of common conversation back in the days of our great-grandparents.

    As Christians we have the Holy Spirit but aren’t necessarily "filled" with the Spirit because we quench the Spirit’s work. Sermon concludes with an invitation to be filled with the Spirit, through prayer and annointing with oil.

    Have you ever thought to yourself: “I read the Bible and go to church, why don’t I see any positive changes in my life?” “Why am I still struggling with a particular sin or sins even though I keep trying to repent and give it to God?” “Why am I not seeing healing whether physically, spiritually, ...read more
