• A NEW YEARS EVE SERMON

     
    As we come together in the sanctuary of the Lord on this last night of 2014, and as we anticipate the New Year of 2015, we would do well to focus on the priority GOD HAS FOR US IN REFERENCE TO HIMSELF. That priority has nothing to do with NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS or TURNING OVER NEW LEAVES, but rather taking a GOOD LOOK AT THE GREATNESS OF GOD AND THEN RESPONDING PROPERLY.

  • SIX IMPORTANT DAYS

     
    Our lives are lived on a DAY BY DAY basis. But within that DAY BY DAY process of life, there are certain days which are very meaningful to us. These days include our birthday, our graduation day, our wedding day, our baptism day, or retirement day, and so forth. As we study the Word of God we find there are CERTAIN DAYS THAT ARE VERY IMPORTANT AS WELL because of what took place on those days. So in this message, I am going to highlight SIX IMPORTANT DAYS that made a difference in the course of the world in general, as well as in our own personal lives specifically

  • THE MAGI RESPONDS TO THE CHRIST

     
    ABOVE ALL OTHER THINGS, CHRISTMAS SHOULD BE A TIME FOR CHRISTIANS TO RESPOND TO JESUS CHRIST BIBLICALLY! Many times we get caught up in the hustle of the season and forget what the season is all about and end up NOT RESPONDING TO CHRIST BIBLICALLY! (Lady at the drug store). In our text we see the account of the MAGI traveling miles and years to see the Christ-child. There are some great lessons from this account we can and should learn. The way the MAGI responded to the birth of the Christ-Child is a clear biblical model for how WE SHOULD RESPOND TO CHRIST TODAY!

  • GOD WITH US

     
    When God came to earth in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, not only was it a great HISTORICAL EVENT, but it CHANGED THE WORLD! For instance: 1) During Christ’s time on the earth, the world experienced more peace than it ever had up until that period of time. 2) The calendar itself is based upon the birth of Christ. 3) The entire religious system of the world changed. 4) People had a new understanding of Who God is.

  • THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE VIRGIN BIRTH OF CHRIST

     
    Perhaps the most significant theme of Christmas is THE VIRGIN BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST! In fact, THE VIRGIN BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST is EXTREMELY SIGNIFICANT in reference to our SALVATION! Many songs in the Christian hymnal speak of the VIRGIN BIRTH OF CHRIST.
    1) SILENT NIGHT: “Round yon VIRGIN, mother and child.”
    2) THERE’S A SONG IN THE AIR: “For the VIRGIN’S sweet boy is the Lord of the Earth.”
    3) HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING: “Offspring of a VIRGIN’S womb”
    4) GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN: “This day is born a savior of a pure VIRGIN bright.”

  • FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN A SAVIOR

     
    During the Christmas Season many things occur which LURES US AWAY FROM THE REAL REASON FOR THE SEASON! These things include parties, commercialism, church events, and the humanistic element of the season all together. What a shame it is to go through the Christmas Season without putting the FOCUS upon the REAL REASON FOR THE SEASON, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST!

  • REMOVE NOT THE ANCIENT LANDMARKS

     
    We are living in a day of change. But that is NOT new! Every generation since the time Adam and Eve were on the earth has seen various elements of change. BUT WE ARE LIVING IN AN ERA WHERE, IN MANY CASES, THE ENTIRE FUNDAMENTAL FOUNDATIONS OF SOCIETY ARE CHANGING!

  • INDICATORS THAT SPIRITUAL GROWTH IS OCCURING IN THE LIFE OF THE CHRISTIAN

     
    WHEN A CHRISTIAN IS MAKING FORWARD PROGRESS IN THE DISCIPLINE OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH, A LIFE OF OBEDIENCE TO THE WORD OF GOD AND SENSITIVITY TO THE THINGS OF THE LORD WILL BE OBSERVED.

  • OPEN DOORS BRING MANY ADVERSARIES

    Ever since the TIME OF CHRIST, those who have experienced tremendous ministry have found that in THE MIDST OF THE GREATEST OPPORTUNTIES, CAME THE MOST DIFFICULT OPPOSITION. That was the case of the Apostle Paul and with all preachers and missionaries right down to where we live today. Paul teaches this in 1 Corinthians 16:9 and we would do well to focus on the idea that OPEN DOORS BRING MANY ADVERSARIES.

  • THE BIBILCAL CONCEPT OF THANKSGIVING

     
    Thanksgiving is a GREAT HOLIDAY that the citizens of the United States have the PRIVILEGE to celebrate once a year. But for the Christian, THANKSGIVING IS MORE THAN A HOLIDAY; IT IS TO BE A WAY OF LIFE.

  • THE ROAD CHRIST TOOK TO PROVIDE REDEMPTION

     

    The work of Christ that took Him from the GLORIES OF HEAVEN, to THE EARTH, to DEATH, to THE CROSS, and back to HEAVEN is an amazing chain of events to follow. It is a chain of events we SHOULD NEVER ALLOW OUR MIND TO FORGET!

  • THE DISCIPLINE OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH

     
     
    In years past a lot of Bible Conferences, books, and studies were conducted on the concept of CHRISTIAN DISCIPLINES. But it has been a LONG TIME since I have heard any conferences conducted, sermons preached or books written on the subject. Within those studies on CHRISTIAN DISCIPLINES topics like Bible Study, Prayer, Separation from the World, Tithing, Personal Sanctification, Evangelism and the Deeper Spiritual Life were discussed.

  • THE TALE OF TWO GROUPS

     
    The BOOK OF MALACHI, though it was written around 450 years before Christ, is very
    APPLICABLE FOR US TODAY! One of the the themes of the book is “THE SINS OF THE SAINTS”
    because Israel had become SPIRITUALLY STALE and had stepped away from the Lord in their daily
    living and worship.

  • SEVEN POINTS TO CHANGE AMERICA SPIRITUALLY

     
    America is a nation that was built on biblical foundations. THAT CANNOT BE DENIED! But in recent generations she has gotten away from those biblical foundations and is consequently going down the road toward THE JUDGMENT OF GOD. WHAT WILL CHANGE AMERICA? NOT a new President. NOT a new Program. NOT a new Political Emphasis. The only thing that will change America will be a TRUE AND GENUINE SPIRITUAL REVIVAL WITH A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF BIBLICAL TRUTH!

  • OUR WONDERFUL BIBLE

     
    Recently in an interview I was asked what I thought was the number one cause to the moral and spiritual demise in America in the last generation. Without hesitation I said THE REMOVAL OF THE BIBLE FROM SOCIETY AND FROM THE LIVES OF NON-CHRISTIANS AND CHRISTIANS ALIKE.

  • THE PURPOSE OF THE PULPIT

     
    What is the purpose of the PULPIT in the Church? Is it a place for lecture? Is it a place for philosophical presentations? Is it a place for the exposition of personal opinion? Is it a place for religious monologue? I suppose the answer to those questions would depend upon who you would ask.

  • THE MESSAGE OF THE APOSTLE PAUL IS OUR MODEL

     
    In our study through 1 Corinthians we have learned that, FROM GOD’S PERSPECTIVE, HE HAS CHOSEN THE “FOOLISHNESS OF PREACHING” TO SAVE LOST SINNERS AND INSTUCT BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS IN THEIR SPIRITUAL LIFE. That mandate from God has NEVER CHANGED down through the years. In other words, GOD HAS NOT CHANGED HIS MIND ABOUT HOW TO REACH PEOPLE WITH BIBLICAL TRUTH.

  • THE WORK OF GOD AND HIS CHILDREN

     
    The concept of “WORK” is found throughout the pages of scripture. From the beginning of creation mankind has the responsibility to maintain a “GOOD WORK ETHIC.” Adam and Eve had to take care of the Garden of Eden even before their fall into sin. The Word of God teaches in 2 Thessalonians 3:10 that if “ONE DOES NOT WORK HE SHOULD NOT EAT.”

  • SERIES - THE PERSECUTION OF GOD'S PEOPLE

     
    One condition that has been around for many centuries is the PERSECUTION OF GOD’S PEOPLE. We read about it in the Bible. We read about it in history books. We even read about it in newspapers and see it on television these days. But yet, we often seem to PUSH IT ASIDE and say, “YES, I KNOW PERSECUTION IS A FACTOR, BUT IT WILL NEVER EFFECT ME.” Oh, we all may wish that to be true, but the fact is we all may really face persecution in the future. In July of 2013 I attended a pastors conference in California where we were told that “IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE MAJORITY OF YOU PASTORS WHO ARE HERE WILL SPEND SOME TIME IN GOVERNMENTAL HOUSING ONE OF THESE DAYS.”

  • CURSED WITH A CURSE

     
    Recently we had the opportunity to study what the Bible has to say about TITHING. We learned clearly that WHEN WE TITHE, GOD BLESSES US GREATLY! But that is only a half of the lesson we need to learn about the tithe. THE OTHER HALF of the lesson is that WHEN WE REFUSE TO TITHE, GOD CURSES US GREATLY! In light of that, please allow me to give you a very serious but real fact. IF YOU ARE NOT TITHING NOW, YOU ARE CURRENTLY UNDER THE CURSE OF GOD! WHY? BECAUSE NOT TITHING IS ROBBING GOD!

  • WHO ARE CALLED TO SALVATION AND WHY

     
    Salvation is the GREATEST GIFT EVER OFFERED TO MANKIND!  It is THE GIFT OF GOD to all sinners.  It is THE ONLY MEANS for the forgiveness of sins for all humanity.  It is THE KEY TO A LIFE that is worth living for all who receive it.  It is the DOOR TO HEAVEN for all who call upon the name of the Lord.

  • THE SURE ROAD TO THE BLESSING OF GOD - Tithing

     
    Everyone wants a blessing from God. And yet, there are many Christians who really miss out on the easiest way of receiving God’s blessing. What way is that? THE WAY OF THE EASIEST BLESSING FOR THE CHRISTIAN AFTER SALVATION IS TITHING, OR GIVING UNTO THE LORD. If you tithe, you will know this as a personal fact as you have seen God work in providing a great blessing for you over the years. If you do not tithe, you really have no idea what we are talking about here. So, let’s observe Malachi 3:8-12 where God sets for the PRINCIPLE OF THE BLESSING OF THE TITHE.

  • THE PRIORITY OF PREACHING IN THE LOCAL CHURCH

     
    The study of the New Testament Epistles will give clear insight on every principle that is to be practiced in and through the Local Church. It is in the New Testament Epistles that Church Truth is taught and thus all that is accomplished or attempted to accomplish in the Local Church should be derived from the pages of those Epistles. Now understand that this concept DOES NOT IN ANY WAY DEVALUE OR OFFSET THE OLD TESTAMENT, THE GOSPELS OR THE BOOK OF THE REVELATION! ALL SCRIPTURE IS FOR US AND IS RELEVANT FOR US TODAY!

  • THE NATION THAT BLESSES GOD WILL BE BLESSED BY GOD

     
    We all love the song “GOD BLESS AMERICA.” And when Kate Smith sings it most of us have a huge spike in our PATRIOTISM. That particular song is in reality a prayer asking GOD TO BLESS AMERICA. Certainly all of us want God to bless America but the question is, CAN HE DO IT TODAY? There is NO DOUBT that God ha blessed America in the past. The book entitled, “THE 5000 YEAR LEAP” describes how things in the world went along just about the same for years until America was founded.
