That operating manual that is given to us by God, if we don't read it regularly, if we don't read it carefully, if we don't follow it closely, the lostness can be very serious, very serious indeed. I have been imploring you not only to regularly [...]

I wonder how many people who have a confused and fuzzy ideas about the Bible. I just wonder how many people do not have a clue about the time sequence of the Bible. I wonder, I just wonder, I'm wondering aloud how many people just take bits and [...]

Biblical illiteracy has reached a very low ebb in our culture today. While general knowledge has been on the increase in the last 100 years, biblical knowledge has been reaching a lower and lower ebb. Even non-believers in the past, they used to [...]

I'm doing a short series of messages entitled "Defending a Lion," playing on the words of Martin Luther, who said, "Defending the Bible is like defending a lion". The truth is, I feel inadequate in this task, and that is why I [...]

As fewer Christians read the Bible daily, fewer understand what a marvelous revelation it is from God to man. It's so easy to forget as we scurry around our day-to-day lives what a profound gift Scripture is to us, 66 books weaving a tapestry of [...]

Hello, my friends, and welcome to Resurrection Sunday, the day that changed the world, and the day that set Christianity apart from all those other religions because it is the resurrection power of Jesus Christ that gives us hope not only in this [...]

In the last two messages, we have been studying the folly and the power of the cross. The Bible said that those who are perishing, to them the cross is foolishness, it's folly; but to those who are being saved, to them the cross is none other than [...]

Every human being that is born anywhere in the world, every one of us, every human being of the 7 billion in the world today or the ones before us or the ones after us, everyone was born with a spiritual debt around our neck which we could never [...]

I think most of you will agree with me that in our lifetime, certainly I know in my lifetime, there has been no time when the cross of Christ has been more abused and misused, have been undermined and ignored, has been rejected and despised; yet, [...]

Blessed Palm Sunday. I am so glad you tuned in because you are in for a treat. It's a very special program, "Easter: The Resurrection" from the heart of the Middle East. You will love the music by one of the great maestros and also a [...]

I have a simple message. It's a two-word message. Two words. Only two words is gonna be the message today, so I want you to focus and concentrate. And if you're taking notes, take them down. Two words you will never forget. These two words are part [...]

It was the first Palm Sunday and Jesus is weeping. Today is Palm Sunday and Jesus is weeping. You say, "How can that be, we all have known Palm Sunday to be a day of Jesus triumphantly entering into Jerusalem". We know it as a day when the [...]

Jesus rose from the dead. To a lot of people, the rest of that sentence is, "So what"? Perhaps that's the attitude of many people today, some of them even church-goers. In days gone by, when people did some thinking with their minds, with [...]

It never ceased to amaze me how there's a fascination among Americans with the British royal family. The reason I'll say this is because I know that most Americans detest absolute monarchs. It sort of goes against our grain. We fought a war over it. [...]

Sonny Perdue : Dr. Michael Youssef, congratulations on 75 years of a life well lived. Jane Robelot : I am so excited to wish you a happy 75th birthday. Seventy-five and going stronger than ever before. RT Kendall : Seventy-five? Oh my, that's old. [...]

You cannot escape the connection between faith and forgiveness; and that is why Jesus talked about the smallness of the seed, the smallest seed in the world: mustard seed. Why? Because faith is submission to the sovereignty of God. You have the [...]

What happens a moment to the believer and the non-believers after we die? Our gracious Lord shows us the story of two people. One lived for self, the other one worshiped God. Two people who ended up in two different eternal destinations. The [...]

In a day when so many preachers are saying that we need to ditch the Old Testent, we need to give up the Old Testament, I'm gonna show you in this new book how to read the Bible, that the two, Old and New Testament, are interrelated. You cannot have [...]

I'm not gonna ask you to raise your hand if you grew up in a legalistic church or in a legalistic home or legalistic family. Now, in case some of you have not and don't even know what legalistic or legalism means, very put simply, is the elevation [...]

Beloved, the Bible calls parents to lead their children, not the other way around; and I could not help this week as I was writing my notes and I thought about our first grandson. He was 14 months and he was learning to walk, and he just learned [...]

Luke chapter 15, if you turn to it, beginning at verse 11, where our Lord Jesus Christ tells us what our heavenly Father is like. So many preachers when they preach from this story, they focus on the prodigal, and they stay on the prodigal. [...]

Back in the summer of 1985, our son, Joshua, was almost seven years old. We were traveling in London, England at that time because I was speaking at a symposium. One day our host decided, we had a day break, to take us on a sightseeing trip, [...]

Beloved, labels have never saved anyone. Labels have never taken anyone to heaven. And our passage for today in Luke 13 beginning at verse 23, some unknown person asked Jesus, "Lord, will those who are saved be few"? Listen carefully to [...]

In 1964, I publicly announced that I renounced my citizenship in the kingdom of Satan, and submit myself to the kingdom of God. On that day, not only I was invited to be member of his kingdom, but his kingdom began to live in me. On that day that I [...]

No one can deny the universality of pain and suffering, no one. We all experience it, we all experience it. Even the believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, those who are redeemed by his precious blood, they suffer. Why? Because we still live in this [...]

Proverbs 22:28 said, "Remove not the boundaries which your forefathers have set". "Remove not the boundaries which your forefathers have set". Another translation puts it this way: "Do not remove the ancient boundaries, the [...]

For 2,000 years the gospel of Jesus Christ has divided humanity into two categories. No third, two categories, those who are saved and those who are lost, those who are redeemed and those who are unredeemed, those who will spend eternity in heaven [...]

Throughout history, there were people who have sought to predict precisely when the last day is and when the return of the Lord is going to be, precisely, I mean to the date. Others, of course, as we're facing today more than ever, the deniers, [...]

In many ways, hypocrisy, which we looked at in the last message, and greed, belong to two different realms of life, two different areas of our life, and yet they're both very essential. Those realms are very essential for our existence. Hypocrisy [...]

I wonder if you've ever thought of the meaning of the word "sincere". Back in the Dark Ages, when we used to write letters, before emails, we used to sign "Sincerely yours". By that, of course, we mean genuine, we mean honest, we [...]

You've heard it said many times in the last few years we live in unprecedented times, and it's absolutely true. We're seeing chaos and disaster before our own eyes like we've never seen before. According to some media it feels like the end of the [...]

Now here's a fact: Our memory is one of God's most awesome gifts that he has given us. As human being in his creation, we were created with an astonishing capacity to store millions of bits of information. This information data is in perfect order [...]

Now, scientists have been telling us for years that the left-side hemisphere of the brain is the side that is associated with logical analysis, rational judgments. The right side of the brain hemisphere is associated with visual imagery, word [...]

Intimacy in its profound meaning, is when one person connecting with another person, on an emotional level, on an intellectual level, on mutual interest. Intimacy is the connection of spirit to spirit. It's the connection of soul to soul, it's a [...]

Remember the '80s and the '90s, there was a bracelet that so many people would wear, particularly young people but then even older people were wearing it. Some of you remember that, "What Would Jesus Do"? That was what it stood for. A [...]

There can be no doubt that all of us without exception, if we wanna grow deeper in our love for Jesus, we will face rocky roads, and we gonna face bumpy bumps along the way, and the difference between those who keep on climbing and go deeper in the [...]

There is a very, very familiar sentence that kids often use and parents detest. Now what is that? "I am bored". Now parents, I'm not gonna get into this, but let me give you a freebie on the house here. Have a list of chores ready. So as [...]

Turn with me, please, to 2 Thessalonians. And those of you who are visiting, this is the last in a series of four messages from the letter of Paul, second letter to the Thessalonians. This is the fourth in the series, the last in the series, and [...]

Stability. We all long for it, don't we? And it is the absolute necessity in every sphere of life, every sphere of life. Civilization depends on the stability of government. Commerce and prosperity depends on the stability of the economy and the [...]

As we come to the second chapter of 2 Thessalonians in this series of messages, "Look Up When Everybody Else is Looking Down," we're going to see a huge spiritual danger that was hidden. Started with a small flaw in their thinking. When it [...]
