Sermon: The International Workers’ Day

Introduction

Today is International Workers’ Day and I want to talk about our blue-collared brothers and sisters in Christ also known as the working class. The dictionary defines people of the working class as “Those employed in lower tier jobs (as measured by skill, education and lower incomes), often extending to those in unemployment or otherwise possessing below-average incomes.” There’s no such group as “The Working Class” in the Bible. Nevertheless, we find many who fit the above definition. Today even as we celebrate International Workers’ Day let’s find what God is telling the working class through his written word. The Bible shows three ways God cares for the people of the working class.

Sermon: How to be an instrument of revival?

Introduction

I concluded my last sermon by saying revival starts with you and me.  If you don’t believe my words read the book of Jonah and you will see that God indeed used an ordinary human being to bring the extremely sinful Ninevites to repent that in turn lead to a spiritual revival in the capital of Assyria. His name was Jonah and he was God’s instrument of revival in Nineveh. Today in the order of Jonah I want to share how you could become an instrument of revival in God’s hands.

Sermon: How to get ready for revival?

Introduction

Dr. G. Campbell Morgan once said, “Revival cannot be organized, but we can set our sails to catch the wind from heaven when God chooses to blow upon His people once again.” Unfortunately “Organizing revivals” is exactly what we are doing today. This sermon is about setting the sails of our churches to catch the wind from heaven so that we will be ready to sail when God chooses to blow upon us. [Image by: Stuck in Customs]

Easter Sermon 2012: The Reality of the Resurrection

 Introduction

It was just before dawn when the women arrived at the tomb of Jesus. The Scriptures say that they were bringing spices to anoint the dead body of Jesus. Exactly how they expected to do this is anybody’s guess. The stone would prevent their entrance. When they arrived they found the stone rolled away, the tomb empty and two supernatural beings guarding the tomb.

What does it mean to forgive and be forgiven?

Forgiveness can be called one of the most misinterpreted, misunderstood, and malpractice virtues in Christianity. Usually, forgiveness involves two main individuals or even parties. The offendee and the offender. What does forgiveness mean to the offendee? What does being forgiven mean to the offender? We hope you will find this blog post useful in your personal life as well as in ministry.

Palm Sunday Sermon: Lessons from the Triumphal Entry

Good Friday sermon - Lessons from the triumphal entry

Introduction

These two events took place four days apart. It is logical to assume that essentially the same people were present on both occasions. How is it that the same people who worshiped Jesus and would have made Him King on Palm Sunday would turn Him in and demand His death on Thursday? What emotional chemistry was working in their minds that would have turned them so completely around? As we study these two occasions the answers begin to take shape.
