“ God doesn't exist to give us cushy lives! ” The preacher reminds us, God doesn't exist to give us cushy lives. When we repent are we grieved over our wickedness or over the affliction caused by our wickedness. There is a difference! The God of Lamentations is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The God of Love also is the God of hate. God hates sin!
“ A Bold Message in Turbulant Times ” No way around it folks, Sin is Sin and Wrong is Wrong, and homosexuality is both. God's word is clear and it can't be ignored. Thank God there is deliverance and peace and mercy for man through salvation...no matter what his former crimes. There is an undeniable hope being offered to man today through salvation the way God laid it down. No one is beyond God's reach or His love. And this is what God created man for!
“ Deliverance in the face of impossibilities ” What better story in the Bible to illustrate victory in the face of impossible odds than David and Goliath. Always inspiring no matter how many times we hear it! Told from a new yet old perspective.
“ A Farmer's Perspective- Mending Fences ” The example of fence repair is used in illustrating neglecting salvation. Unforgettable example...relevant topic...serious warning.
“ Grace and Works Defined ” We are no longer under the law but under grace but this does not mean that as Christians we are at liberty to behave lawlessly....The Law of the Spirit...The Law of Liberty...and The Law of Grace in this sermon is discussed at length. We will answer to a higher law. Praise God if we are born again we are no longer under the law of sin and death but thank God we are under His higher law.
“ No Matter What Man May Do To Us ” Paul surely could have felt he didn't have freedom to worship God if he would have looked at his surroundings (a rock heap from his recent stoning) but he knew nothing could effect his relationship with God but himself. What a comforting thought.
“ Wonderful Illustration ” Let us be alive in Christ and get plugged into that awesome power source...it takes more than just believing in God (the Devils do that) to be born again. Thank God for the spiritual birth that takes place which makes us alive in Christ Jesus.
“ Don't Burn what God Provides! ” When God, in His love, provides a warning we better heed it and not count it as nothing as the king did in the passages that this preacher cites.
“ Strange Title...GREAT message ” A message using the illustration of how winemakers purify their wine. The impurities are drawn out that effect both taste and smell by pouring it from vessel to vessel. This illustration is then applied to the Christian's life. A sermon well worth listening to.
“ God always makes a way! ” The annointing of God is on the life of the Christian and as His annointed we can trust in Him to always make a way for us. Let us pray for more of the annointing of the Lord.
“ Need a prayer answered? ” A dynamic message on praying to receive. The passage in James that refers to praying amiss is looked at in detail. The definition of praying amiss is given and expounded on. Herbert Hensley also covers how being only absorbed with our own problems and failing to pray for others hinders our pray life in seeing our own prayers answered. A wonderful sermon for any Christian at any growth level.
“ A Story of a Game Hen ” A touching story of a childhood game hen protecting her chicks through a bad storm by sheltering them under her. How much more will God protect His children through the storms of life. Thank you, Lord!!!
“ Why Aren't We Ashamed ” Being ashamed of the sin we are in is the first step on the road to repentance. Churches today provide to much comfort to sinners in their sin by not naming sin or making excuses for it. Why are repentance messages becoming a thing of the past when Christ Himself preached repentance more than anything else. Repentance is a 360 degree turn from what we once loved to loving and being something completely new. Praise God for old time repentance messages. And praise God He still changes lives.
“ Fighting In The Lord's Army ” Joshua saw a man with his sword drawn and Joshua walked up to him and said, "Are you for us or for our adversary?" The man with his sword drawn said, " Nay, but I am come the captain of the Host of the Lord."
We better make sure we are fighting in the Lord's army if we want him fighting to defend us. Be part of an army which has never lost a battle. Put on the Lord's armour and get ready for victory.
“ Sobering Thought ” How one decision can lead us down the road of continual opportunities to sin; at some point our only hope is to find a place of repentance, as David did. This is a story everyone can relate to in some way.
“ IS HE GOING TO FLY AWAY ” From the very beginning of this message God starts blessing....Praise God...He calms the storm in our lives.....The preacher sounds like he is going to fly away while preaching it.
“ A message for anyone facing a battle ” This message really helped me with a battle I was facing in my life. Daryl uses the very real examples of David facing Goliath and the verse asking the question "Who will go up and face this uncircumsized Philistine. Isreal was really worried...God sent a little boy and by the end of the day the giant was a head shorter..."dead" in other words. God had taken away the very real problem.
He also uses the illustration of the Battle of Jericho..and the verse..."Who will scale the walls of the city"...when God was done the walls didn't need to be scaled for they fell down flat. Then in conclusion he uses the verse where the women who were going to annoint the body of Jesus after he was dead...were worried and said...Who will roll the stone away...when they got there there was no stone to roll away for Jesus had risen!
Why worry about the problems facing us tomorrow when tomorrow the very real problems of today could just be history .....by the workings of God...Listen to this message a real blessing...and a truth that will stick with you your whole life through.
“ Bible story brought to Life ” A descriptive telling of the story about the man who lived amongst the tombs. A message to make you realize how all who have been born again have lived amongst the tombs at one time....but how we have been called out from amongst the dead into the land of the living.
