  • Love PERSONIFIED
    It is the Person of Love; Jesus Christ, Who is the One that can and does Reconcile Chief Sinners, such as us, with The whole Trinity. We sinned against the Whole Trinity; not just Jesus Christ. Thus, we can only be Reconciled with God, Who is Love; by the Interceding Love of Love, Personified!

  • If
    The sermon centers on the conditional promise found in 2 Chronicles 7, arguing that the spiritual and national future of America rests on the word "if." It challenges the church to move from a posture of convenience to one of sacrifice, emphasizing that God's power to heal the land is contingent upon the people's willingness to humble themselves, pray, and seek His face. The message contrasts the current state of spiritual apathy and societal decay with the biblical mandate for intercession, citing Deuteronomy 28 to illustrate the consequences of turning away from God. Through personal anecdotes and historical examples of revival, the speaker urges believers to take up their role as intercessors, asserting that prayer is the primary weapon against spiritual opposition. The tone is urgent and pastoral, calling for a renewed commitment to the Holy Spirit and a collective cry for divine intervention in the lives of the next generation.

The message emphasizes the confidence believers can have that their prayers are remembered by God as a memorial, citing the angel's assurance to Cornelius and the example of Zechariah. Furthermore, it explores the content of Cornelius's prayers, which focused on his household and others, leading to the gathering of his family to hear the gospel.

  • The Hidden Ground
    The sermon illustrates a case of spiritual torment in a new home to highlight the often-overlooked reality of territorial spirits. It recounts how a family, despite their faith, suffered from demonic activity that persisted until the deacons intervened, causing the spirits to flee. The central argument posits that the root cause was likely the land itself, possibly an Indian burial ground, which served as a stronghold for evil entities. This narrative serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of recognizing spiritual boundaries and the danger of ignoring the 'dirt' or historical context of a location. The tone is instructional and convicting, urging believers to understand that protection requires more than just prayer but also an awareness of the spiritual environment.

  • From Andrew Murray's 'Humility'
    This devotion explores the true nature of humility as defined by Andrew Murray, emphasizing that it is not merely self-depreciation but a profound recognition of one's nothingness in the presence of God. The central message argues that genuine humility eliminates comparison and envy, allowing believers to honor others and serve them joyfully without seeking personal recognition. Drawing from Paul's writings, the text highlights that this spirit is rooted in the character of Christ, who pleased not himself and sought not his own honor. The sermon instructs that such a heart encompasses compassion, kindness, and long-suffering, enabling believers to forgive and forbear one another as Christ forgave. Ultimately, the tone is instructional and pastoral, urging a transformation from self-centeredness to a servant's posture that reflects the gentle spirit of the Lamb of God.

  • Chapel 9: Building Lasting Love
    This chapel service addresses young people on the practical and spiritual preparation required for marriage, emphasizing that it is a deliberate process rather than a spontaneous event. Drawing primarily from Proverbs 24:27, the speaker outlines a sequence of preparation, establishment, and building, urging listeners to count the costs and secure their foundations before entering into covenant. The message identifies key needs for a wife, such as security, sincere praise, and spiritual leadership, while listing specific behaviors that wound a spouse's spirit, including unfavorable comparisons and a lack of inner discipline. Biblical love is defined as selfless giving based on needs rather than wants, with practical applications from 1 Corinthians 13 provided for cultivating these qualities in daily relationships. The sermon concludes with a call to adopt a broader perspective by considering the viewpoints of others and God, encouraging believers to yield their expectations to Christ to avoid bitterness and foster genuine, lasting intimacy.

  • Acts 13.1-12 - Paul and Barnabas

The teaching contrasts the boldness of the apostles with the opposition of Elymas the sorcerer, emphasizing the spiritual danger of false prophets and the necessity of submitting to God's authority over human tradition. It further explores the departure of John Mark, using his example to warn against quitting service to God, while noting the eventual reconciliation and restoration of Mark in Paul's later ministry. The message concludes by affirming the power of the Gospel to convert hearts, such as that of Sergius Paulus, despite the presence of spiritual opposition and human weakness.

  • Response to Anger: God Is Bigger
    This sermon explores the biblical response to anger and irritation by emphasizing the foundational importance of personal dedication to God. Drawing from Romans 12 and the book of Job, the message argues that a believer's identity as belonging to God allows them to view life's difficulties as tools for character development rather than sources of resentment. The central theological theme is that God uses adverse situations to cultivate the fruit of the Spirit, such as love, joy, and patience, in the lives of believers. By shifting focus from the immediate problem to God's sovereignty and purpose, individuals can choose gratitude and self-control over reactive anger. The sermon concludes with a call to recognize these challenges as divine instruments for conforming the believer to the image of Christ.

  • Christian Character Problems
    This chapel concludes a year-long study on the Beatitudes by emphasizing the absolute authority of Scripture over personal opinion or situational ethics. It identifies five essential spiritual qualities—genuine humility, denial of self, a forgiving spirit, a clear conscience, and pure motives—as the foundational gears of a healthy Christian life. The message warns that deficiencies in these areas lead to spiritual apathy, insensitivity, and fear, ultimately hindering one's ability to witness and endure for righteousness. Listeners are challenged to examine their lives against God's standard of perfection, acknowledging that true growth requires repentance and a commitment to aligning personal experience with biblical truth rather than twisting Scripture to fit cultural norms. The sermon closes by defining sound doctrine as teaching that is based on Christ's words and leads to a Christ-like life.
