The sermon warns against the spiritual danger of shrugging at God, where religious activity replaces genuine reverence and daily surrender. Drawing from Malachi 1, it exposes how familiarity with holy things can lead to a cold heart that offers God leftovers rather than a living sacrifice. The message contrasts empty ritual with the profound cost of Calvary, urging believers to examine their hearts for hidden bitterness or indifference. It emphasizes that true worship requires presenting one's entire life to God daily, not just performing duties on Sundays. Ultimately, the preacher calls for immediate repentance and a fresh commitment to Jesus Christ as the only remedy for spiritual complacency.

THE SILENCE BETWEEN THE GRAVE AND GLORY. Luke 16:19–31 (KJV)Death is not the end—it is the doorway into eternity. Through the account of the rich man and Lazarus, this message answers one of life's greatest questions: What happens the moment we die? The Bible teaches that eternity begins immediately after death, that every person remains consciously aware, and that our eternal destination is determined by what we do with Jesus Christ in this life. This message offers hope for believers and a loving warning to those who have never trusted Christ. [The most important decision you will ever make is where you will spend eternity.]

We learn from Jesus to pray like a child speaking to our Father. 1. How does a child of God pray? Not in a public show, as the hypocrites. (v.5) In a private place. (v.6) 2. With whom does a child of God pray? Not with other people. (v.5) In secret, to our Father alone. (v.6) 3. How do we children of God talk to our Father? Not with meaningless repetition, as the Gentiles. (v.7) Speaking to our Father, knowing He already knows! (v.8) What are the do's and don'ts of praying to God as our Father? What is the Bible's view of praying in public worship? 2 Chronicles 6:12-14 How was Jesus' viewpoint of prayers with many words? Matthew 6:7 How often are we informing God of a new situation? Eph. 3:20, Rom. 8:26

Revival involves a heart to do right and hearing the Word. Revival involves a humble and honest response to the Word. Revival involves a continually renewed commitment to right.

The sermon examines the fall of the Northern Kingdom of Israel through the lens of 2 Kings 17, illustrating how God repeatedly sent prophets as warning signs to call His people to repentance. Despite numerous warnings from figures like Elijah, Amos, and Hosea regarding their idolatry and rebellion, Israel hardened its heart and refused to turn back to God. The preacher emphasizes that God's patience and mercy are intended to lead to repentance, not to condone sin, and warns modern believers against ignoring spiritual convictions. By comparing the nation's gradual descent into corruption with personal choices, the message urges listeners to heed divine warnings before reaching a point of no return. Ultimately, the historical account serves as a sobering reminder that rejecting God's word leads to inevitable judgment and exile.

Bible Reading: Acts 24:10-27 1. The preaching that distressed him 2. The pleasures that failed him 3. the presumption that damned him The sermon warns against the peril of spiritual conviction without genuine conversion, using the biblical figure Felix as a primary example. It explains that while the Holy Spirit can disturb the conscience through preaching on righteousness, self-control, and future judgment, this emotional response does not equate to salvation. The preacher highlights how sin, greed, and social pressure detained Felix from accepting Christ, illustrating that partial obedience is insufficient before God. Furthermore, the message emphasizes the danger of procrastination, asserting that delaying repentance hardens the heart and risks missing the opportunity for grace entirely. Ultimately, the audience is urged to respond immediately to the gospel rather than settling for a state of being 'almost saved.'

Our salvation is sealed by the Holy Ghost.
