Are We Longing for Repentance? – Leonard Ravenhill Preaching

By

In Headline, Preaching/Sermons

What is repentance? Why is it very important for a follower of Jesus? This video preaching by a well-know revivalist Leonard Ravenhill will expound this Biblical concept of repentance.

Repentance is a change of heart and change of direction of our lives. It involves a very strong commitment and resolve to hate our sin and stop sinning. Repentance is a complete shift of attitude toward God and our sins. The Bible commands people to repent. “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38).

Leonard Ravenhill (June 18, 1907 – November 27, 1994) was an English Christian evangelist and author who focused on the subjects of prayer and revival. He is best known for challenging western evangelicalism (through his books and sermons) to compare itself to the early Christian Church as chronicled in the Book of Acts. He was a proponent of the moral government or Governmental theory of atonement. His most notable book is Why Revival Tarries which has sold over a million copies worldwide. (Wikipedia)

“No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.”? Leonard Ravenhill Quote

To the Preacher: The Idolatry of Intelligence by Leonard Ravenhill

“One of these days some simple soul will pick up the Book of God, read it, and believe it. Then the rest of us will be embarrassed. We have adopted the convenient theory that the Bible is a Book to be explained, whereas first and foremost it is a Book to be believed (and after that to be obeyed).” ?

Billy Graham – “How to Live the Christian Life” at Madison Square Garden 1957

Be blessed by this classic sermon of Rev Billy Graham at the Madison Square Graden in 1957. Awesome preaching and is very relevant in today’s age.

Billy Graham – How to Live the Christian Life (1957)


For one to grow properly certain rules must be observed for good spiritual health. Here are 10 Guidelines for Christian Living by Billy Graham:

1. Read your Bible daily. Do not be content to skim through a chapter merely to satisfy your conscience. Hide the Word of God in your heart. It comforts, guides, corrects, encourages – all we need is there.

2. Learn the secret of prayer. Prayer is communicating. Every prayer that you pray will be answered. Sometimes that answer may be “Yes” and sometimes “No,” and sometimes it is “Wait,” but nevertheless it will be answered.

3. Rely constantly on the Holy Spirit. We know that the Holy Spirit prays for us (Romans 8), and what a comfort that should be to the weakest of us. Stand aside and let Him take over all the choices and decisions of your life.

4. Attend church regularly. The visible church is Christ’s organization upon earth. Christians need one another, we need to gather together to worship God and nothing can take the place of church attendance.

5. Be a witnessing Christian. We witness in two ways: by life and by word – and the two, where possible, should go hand in hand.

6. Let love be the ruling principle of your life. Jesus said to those who followed Him, “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another” (John 13:35). The greatest demonstration of the fact that we are Christians is that we love one another.

7. Be an obedient Christian. Let Christ have first place in all the choices of your life.

8. Learn how to meet temptation. Temptation is not sin. It is yielding that is sin. Let Christ through the Holy Spirit do the fighting for you.

9. Be a wholesome Christian. Our lives and appearance should commend the Gospel and make it attractive to others.

10. Live above your circumstances. Don’t let your circumstances get you down. Learn to live graciously within them, realizing the Lord Himself is with you.

Zac Poonen: Manifesting the Holiness and Compassion of God

By

In Featured, Headline, Preaching/Sermons

Jesus said: “I desire compassion and not sacrifice.” One of the dangers the pharisees had was they lacked compassion because they were so righteous. One of the dangers we can face in pursuing righteousness is the lack compassion for sinners, backsliders, evil people, and even compromisers. We don’t have to compromise with them. Jesus sat among sinners. There was no sin in Him. He went there and He told them the truth. So we should act with a lot of compassion to a lot of people who are backsliders or who don’t agree with the truth and we don’t leave them in that condition. That can be our ministry. Jesus could go in their midst and save them. He said: “I did not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”

Can I Hang Out with Unbelievers and be a Good Witness of Christ?

By

On June 29, 2022

In Evangelism, Headline, Preaching/Sermons

So you’re a Christian. Most likely, you have people around you: in your family, at your workplace, at your neighborhood, who are non-Christian yet. Now here’s a dilemma. You want to hang out with these people. With all your good motives, you want to win them for the Kingdom of God. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy as you are faced and challenged with compromising your faith. We read from the Bible that Jesus was around sitting, eating, and talking with sinners. Has he set a boundary for us to follow? What is the best way to handle this? Watch this video of Dr. Charles Stanley answering this very important question of our Christian faith.

Can I Hang Out with Unbelievers?

  • He who walks with wise men will be wise,
    But the companion of fools will be destroyed. – Proverbs 13:20
  • The righteous should choose his friends carefully,
    For the way of the wicked leads them astray. – Proverbs 12:26
  • Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? – 2 Cor 6:14

David Wilkerson – Preparing for the Last Days

By

In Featured, Headline, Preaching/Sermons

How to survive the end times? Are you prepared? What is our attitude as we are nearing the end times? “But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”” – 1 Peter 7-8.

The Day and Hour Unknown (Matthew 24:36-44)

36“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,but only the Father.

37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark;

39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.

41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.

43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.

44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
