Look around and you can see with clarity, that the world as we know it is in revolution. The greatest need in this chaotic world is a Church in revival! Every member of every church irrespective of denomination, needs to hear this powerful soul-stirring message. Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats have the answer to the problems of this planet. Only God does and His messenger is the Church. Not this weak, seeker sensitive and entertainment driven church, but the real Church. Will the real Holy Ghost filled Church please stand up?

In the face of sudden danger most people instinctively cry out to God in prayer. But what if as a Christian you formed a habit of prayer? If you have, you will meet all emergencies of life with already ease. Daniel did, and God delivered him out of the den of lions. When you pray before the crises, the blitz of the enemy finds you with your armor on!

Take a trip with Moses through the Red Sea to the bitter waters of Marah. See how high praise is turned into low murmuring. Several realities are clear about this text as it relates to our lives. First and most obvious is that every life is marked by bitter waters. Drawing from the text (Exodus 15:1-27) three incredible truths emerge in what to do when the praise is over: 1. Kneel at the Cross. 2. Know God is the Healer. 3. Keep the faith (and look for the wells).

Your decisions really do determine your destiny. This is so illustrated in the lives of the children of Israel when given the chance to choose between following God across the Jordan River, or to wander in the wilderness for the rest of their lives. They made the wrong decision and paid an awful price for it. Ten spies with a negative report kept God’s people from experiencing God’s very best! Ten men were more an obstacle than ten walled cities, or ten thousand giants the size of the Empire State Building! Don’t make the same mistake. Learn what kept the Israelites from the promise land, and in doing so learn what your hindrance is.

“But sin didn’t, and doesn’t, have a chance in competition with the aggressive forgiveness we call grace. When it’s sin versus grace, grace wins hands down. All sin can do is threaten us with death, and that’s the end of it!” (Romans 5:20: The Message). The King James Version renders it this way, “But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.” God’s grace is not only amazing, but it is without question, Indescribable, Incredible, Irrefutable, and just down right INVINCIBLE! If you struggle in your heart with this issue, please listen to this message.

“They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera” (Judges 5:20). How did Sisera lose the battle to the inferior General Barak? Sisera was a superior general, greater tactician, and a victorious leader. He was the leader of the then, Superpower. He had a war machine! Barak was on the other hand a coward, and wouldn’t even go into battle without Deborah. Yet Sisera lost the battle, why? For the same reason every other war in history has been won or lost. If the Lord is not on your side, you have already lost the battle before you even start. Chariots, tanks, or ballistic missiles have not won the battle of the centuries, as one might think. This is one sermon all of America should listen to. If you are not marching with God as a nation or an individual, you inevitably collide with the stars. It’s not to late to turn back now!

On the day of Pentecost God opened the door for the Church. Peter said without hesitation, “This is that!” The question today could be ask, and is asked, by Pastor Parrish, “Is this still that?

Caution: This sermon is not for spiritual faint at heart!

“God’s glory is on tour in the skies, God-craft on exhibit across the horizon. Madame Day holds classes every morning, Professor Night lectures each evening” (Psalm 19:1-3 (The Message)). The day comes in shining glories from the morning. And night follows close with its dusky robe and starry crown. Both preach the same sermon: The Glory of God! Sit down and absorb Professor Night’s lecture, it has three points. 1. The Solemn Lesson of Our Independent Individuality. 2. The Sacred Lesson of Our Spiritual Responsibility. 3. The Soothing Lesson of Our God Nocturnally. This Wednesday night sermon is sure to make you think.

Do you have the eye of the tiger? You may have all the ability in the world, but without DESIRE, you will never be a true champion. Jesus said in Mark 11:22-24, it takes more than faith to move the mountain it takes desire. Desire is the key to answered prayer. In lie and in the battles of life it is never how big the tiger is in the fight, it is how big the fight is in the tiger! You have to want it more than the deer wants the water brook, more than the tiger wants his next meal, and more than a blind man wants his sight. Just ask blind Bartimeus.

Whatever God starts, you can count on Him finishing. What would it take to make you quit, give up and throw in the towel? We all find ourselves under attack. Life is just that kind of a situation. Pastor Parrish gives strong biblical strategies in spiritual warfare. But don’t ever forget even when the going get tough. God will never give up on you!

Again in this sermon the subject of anger is dealt with severely. It is very informational.

Then it is transcended to you in the 21st century. The principles of tithing and giving are like laws that never change. Eat God’s portion and get ready for the backlash.
