Introduction Listen, grab your Bibles. In fact, more than grab your Bibles because I’m just going to go too fast, but do have your Bibles ready. Grab the note paper that’s in front of you and begin to write some scriptures down, or get the teaching on CD or online and make a copy for friends or direct them, should they care about the message. I...
Introduction to Revelation 1:8 Have you turned to the Book of Revelation chapter 1 today?

Introduction to Isaiah 28 I’m gonna ask you to grab your Bibles tonight and turn to Isaiah chapter 28. Isaiah 28 could be the longest title we’ve had—maybe, I don’t know—but tonight we’re looking at a message entitled «This Is Going to Hurt Me More Than It’s Going to Hurt You.» That would be God speaking. Your parents ever tell you that? «No,...
Introduction to Isaiah 27 Church, grab your Bibles tonight and turn to the book of Isaiah, chapter 27. Tonight: Isaiah 27. And note-taking—if you’re doing that, I hope you are. But chapters 25, 26, and 27—we mentioned when we broke open chapter 25 that those two preceding chapters and this one now—these three chapters make up a familiar prophetic...
Why Thanksgiving Is Special I love tomorrow, and it has nothing to do with turkey. I love tomorrow, and it has nothing to do with football. Those are fillers. Those are fillers. Frankly, I mean, we may eat turkey, and we might watch a game—maybe, I don’t know—but just know this, and you do know this: tomorrow is a purely Christian holy day....
Our Greatest Threat Today Grab your Bibles tonight and turn, if you would, to the book of Isaiah—Isaiah chapter 17 tonight.

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled Today is the last Sunday of the year—I think you figured that out by now. But I want to speak to you as church family this morning. I just want to speak to you from the heart today. I have some notes prepared that have come, I would say, hot off the press, if I could put it that way. And this season is, I think, a...
For a Limited Time Only And so, I’m going to ask you first of all to grab your Bibles and turn, if you would, to Luke chapter 12. If I had to give a title to today’s message, it would simply be this: «For a Limited Time Only.» You ever hear that phrase? «For a limited time only, you can get this and that.» They try to sell you something—for a...
Finders Keepers, Losers Winners Turn to Philippians chapter 3 this morning—Philippians 3. If you’re new to the church, we’re marching through the Bible in the book of Philippians.

Come My People So church, here’s the reason why tonight’s a little bit weird, but yet it shouldn’t be, because this is how God rolls sometimes. And that is, last Sunday you were here, and we paused and we did a message on why you should believe in the rapture, and we talked about that. And you can only talk about it so much, but here’s the...
