Bold and Challenging Sermon! “Capernaum…had its day, its hour, in which it experienced a lot of sickness and an open door of grace, but a door and an opportunity that closed. The Lord Jesus says of Capernaum that it would be thrust down to Hell. The question is, for an archaeologist, which pile of ancient rubble was once the city of Capernaum? And will the question be, “Which barren wasteland was once the United States of America?” I am not a prophet or an epidemiologist. And I do not know the outcomes of what is upon us. Maybe there’s too much hype. But I do know from Scripture that we must know the day of our visitation, that lest, like Capernaum, Jesus would say “Thou art exalted to heaven. Thou shalt be thrust down to hell.” In our wealthy land of America, lifted up to Heaven in temporal things, God has sent sickness. And he has sent you his Gospel. Today, today is a day that will end! Like that day when Jesus went to the house of Simon. What will you do with the word that comes to you today, in this place and time? Capernaum had a prevailing character of impenitence and unbelief. You live in a day and time of prevailing unbelief, and if we would be saved we must not rest content with blending in. If we would enter the kingdom of God, we must take it by storm. We must press in to the kingdom of God!”
Highly Recommended! We were very blessed by Rev. Warren Gardner's sermon "God on Shedding Innocent Blood" preached during Sanctity of Human Life Month at Reformation Presbyterian Church of Atlanta. Highly recommended to you! We are also very grateful to Rev. Gardner for the example he has set as an individual with the courage to boldly speak the truth about protecting life; and the diligence to take action as he has preached and witnessed at north Georgia abortion facilities over the years. So thankful!
Excellent Sermon! A very powerful sermon, truly needed in our day! In this sermon text (I Kings 10:1-9), the Queen of Sheba coming to inquire of Solomon is an analogy of both the individual and of the gentile nations, seeking true Wisdom and finding it in Christ as represented in Solomon. My friends, seek wisdom and you shall find it in Christ Jesus! Seek truth, be not as Pilate and when the truth is standing in front of you ask, "What is truth?"
Great Sermon! I looked up this sermon by book & verse. It was very helpful to me especially the questions Rev. Gardner posed at the end of the sermon.
Powerful, passionate, and practical!!! Praise God! I had the privilege of hearing this sermon in person. The presence of the Holy Spirit was perceptible and powerful that night. Two months later, the Lord used this sermon to restore fellowship with Him after a period of marked spiritual declension.Thanks be to God for his mercy! Thanks be to God for this message! And praise be to God for true preachers like Rev. Harry Woods!
Great Sermon! Wil, excellent sermon on Diligence. Very convicting and you truly expose many sins that most overlook in our day to day lives. I will be listening to this one a few more times. May the Lord bless your studies and on going ministry!
Very Helpful Sermon! Thanks for this important reminder for me to get my mind off my own needs and attend church, planning on searching for the needs of others, with whom I may be able to share my gift. The Lord is truly "honing in" on my selfishness
& thereby throwing me into ever greater dependance on Him and His amazing grace!
