    Wake-Up Call

     | 7,291 views

    Every believer has three enemies - the world system, the flesh, and the Devil. If we don't wake-up, heed and act on Biblical warnings, we will not only be spent but also taken down. God's truth is the best protection against Satan's lies.

    Opening illustration: As we moved to our new home in the Middle-East after the government transferred Maureena and me to a previous location in the mountains, we never expected the place to be hiding scorpions which would show up regularly in our bathrooms and poisonous snakes that would appear in ...read more

    There is no doubt that the early church needed a wake-up call. So Peter was chosen to get it, and to be the point man for the inclusion of the Gentiles into the church of Jesus Christ.

    Passage: Acts 10:9-23 Intro: It’s amazing how often in Scripture God’s entire plan hangs on one person. 1. Noah chosen to build the ark 2. Abraham called to believe. 3. Joseph tested and approved. 4. Jesus, the perfect sacrifice for sins 5. Now Peter, being challenged to turn from his ...read more
