The Spiral of Praise

Last updated on: November 2, 2019 at 10:24 pm   By Jim Erwin

The Spiral of Praise Psalm 148:1-14 Praise is a natural and necessary response to fully enjoy the object that is praised. For example, when watching a football game on television, it is a natural response to praise a tremendous play. To shout WOW! after an acrobatic catch in the end zone is not only natural, but necessary to fully enjoy the spectacular play. If you do not believe that it is necessary, the next time you watch a football game... Read more

What to Do After Revival

Last updated on: November 2, 2019 at 10:24 pm   By Jim Erwin

What to Do After Revival Psalm 106:1-48 We have had a great experience of revival this last week. We have seen God move (and continue to move) in the lives of many people in this church. One question I want to address at this point is: What do I need to do now? What does a Christian (whether new or renewed, or long-committed) do after revival? Where do I go from here? Where does the church go from here? I... Read more

How I Can Pass the Test of the Christian Faith John 14:15-26 In school, you learn by studying. There are times when you test what you learn. They could be a written test, or a lab that gives you the opportunity to show what you learned. Jesus gave Christians one subject to learn: love. He made it His commandment and His commission. “He said to him, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and... Read more

What a MOM Stands For

Last updated on: November 2, 2019 at 10:24 pm   By Jim Erwin

What a MOM Stands For Luke 1:30-35 After dinner one Mother’s Day a mother was washing the dishes when her teenage daughter walked into the kitchen. Horrified to see her mother at the sink, she exclaimed, “Oh, mother, you shouldn’t have to do dishes on Mother’s Day.” The mother was touched by this seeming thoughtfulness and was about to take off her apron and give it to her daughter, when the daughter added, “They’ll keep till tomorrow.”1 As we celebrate... Read more

7 Promises From the Cross for Me Today

Last updated on: November 2, 2019 at 10:25 pm   By Jim Erwin

7 Promises From the Cross for Me Today Billy Graham once recalled:1 I remember preaching in Dallas, Texas, early in our ministry. It was 1953. About forty thousand people attended each night, but one evening only a few people responded to the appeal to receive Jesus Christ. Discouraged, I left the platform. A German businessman was there, a devout man of God. He put his arm around me and said, ‘Billy, do you know what was wrong tonight? You didn’t... Read more

How to PREP for Revival and Spiritual Awakening Revelation 2:4-5 “But I have this against you: You have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember then how far you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. Otherwise, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.” (Revelation 2:4–5, CSB) In cooking, you have four steps. The first step is to prep the food.

How the Holy Spirit Develops My Character

Last updated on: November 2, 2019 at 10:25 pm   By Jim Erwin

How the Holy Spirit Develops My Character Galatians 5:16-26   Many airports have moving sidewalks. They allow travelers to get around the airports a little faster than they would walking around on their own power. The travelers can still walk but now are able to do so with ease because of the force underneath them propelling them forward. Walking in the Spirit implies that the Christian is still on the move. They are not sitting down or being passive. They... Read more

Praying For My Community

Last updated on: November 2, 2019 at 10:25 pm   By Jim Erwin

Praying For My Community Psalm 122:1-9 “I’ll pray for you.” We say it often, but how many times do we actually remember to do it? Our biggest downfall might not be a lack of compassion—it’s probably just not taking time to write down the request and not having a model of praying for others.1 George Whitfield once stated about praying for others: If we inquire, why there is so little love to be found amongst Christians, why the very characteristic,... Read more
