SermonAudio: MP3

The world does not need more religion, even christian religion, they need Jesus Christ. The church was not left here to promote itself, but Christ. We must return to a clear vision of His person and work- -Christianity- is nothing more than a grave filled with dead men's bones without the Lord Jesus- We do not need more stuff, or more programs, or more ideas, the church needs to return to Christ if we ever hope to once again make a difference- Preach Christ-

Life is full of difficulties. We are often led to lie down in hard places. We struggle at times to see the sense of it all- Will life ever get any easier- Will my trouble ever end- If only we had some encouragement, some word of help, we might make it through- Listen to me- It is certain that for every hard place there is a heavenly promise- Find the promise of God and you will find the strength to endure and the hope to believe- Rest in Christ, believe His word, even in the hard places-

It is in the time of crisis, in the critical hour, that the soul must find assurance- Does God really care- Does He really care about me- It is here, in the hour of absolute necessity, in a critical hour, that the Lord Jesus proves again his undying love.

An anguished cry from the depths is heard in Heaven. You may be in some deep dark valley but there is help from above.

An anguished cry from the depths is heard in Heaven. You may be in some deep dark valley but there is help from above.

An anguished cry from the depths is always heard in Heaven. You may be in some deep dark valley, but there is help from above. There is a God Heaven- He can hear you- He does care about you- Trust in His mercy and grace. You will sing again, you will see the sun shine again, the flowers will bloom again, help is on the way, the God of all grace will lift you up out of the depths and set you up high upon the mountain peaks-

Be honest, are you having a hard time resisting temptation- Rejoice, the Lord has a promise for you-

Be honest, are you having a hard time resisting temptation- Rejoice, the Lord has a promise for you-

Be honest, are you having a hard time resisting temptation- Is the Devil working overtime trying to keep you down. Is he fleeing from you or are you falling for him- If so, then this sermon is just what the doctor ordered and the Lord has a promise for you-

Thank God for sharp edge of the hoe that digs in the surrounding ground of the fruitless fig tree- It is the love of the vine dresser that waits for yet another year, looking for fruit. Thank God for the Spirits conviction- Thank God for the servant pastor that troubles the fruitless saint, digging about, dunging the roots- Thank God you have not been cut down and cast aside- The Master demands fruit, have you any- If not, fight not against the vine dresser. He works about you for your own good- He digs to stir the tree on to produce the figs-
