You Will Know the Truth and the Truth Will Set You Free - Desiring God

You Will Know the Truth and the Truth Will Set You Free - Desiring God: "My aim in this message is that you would experience Jesus, the sovereign, risen, living Lord of the universe, as the source and content of real freedom in your life.

For this to happen, we need two things: We need God's liberating truth and we need God's liberating grace. Which means I need to preach God's word, and pray for God's power."

As You Go | As You Go

As You Go | As You Go: "It has often been said to consider a persons last words then you will find out what is most important to them. Consider the last words of Jesus before he ascended to heaven in Matthew 28:16-20
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go."

For Those Who Rail Against Hell

On The Box

On The Box: "Most of the world is enamored with big-name celebrities. This is, of course, tempered a little for the average Christian. We pray for their salvation, not just for their sake, but because we know that their conversion could potentially influence millions with the gospel. But such conversions are very few and far between. It is not that God is not willing to save the really big-name celebrities. He's just not aware of any, because God is 'no respecter of persons.' "
