“Unless You Repent You Will All Likewise Perish”
Mar 13, 2020
Here is a sermon I feel God wanted me to write. It shows how important repentance is. Sincerely, Dennis Christian Today I want to address a concern – that some of you who think you are saved may not be. How tragic it would be to die and then discover you were not saved after all.
Who Was Jesus?
Mar 17, 2020
Thank you for the opportunity to speak today. And thank you all for coming to this service. No doubt God has something He wants you to hear. I believe what God wanted you and me to hear today is the answer to a question. That question is, “Who was Jesus Christ?”
Loving God with All Your Heart, Soul, Mind and Strength
Mar 25, 2020
Have you ever contemplated what it means to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength? What does it look like when you do this since true, agape-type love is not an emotion but caring, self-sacrificing actions on behalf of the one loved? In a recent Sunday School lesson I believe I got a glimpse of what it means.
A Worship Experience – a Vision of the Circle of Praise
Jun 29, 2020
One day in morning worship I closed my eyes during a praise song (I think it was either “How Great Thou Art” or “Majesty”) and had a vision. I think there is an awesome worship and praise anthem in the vision. Here is what happened:
Personal Quiet Times With God

and I watched a movie on TV one night called “Tear Drops from the Sun.” It was a great movie about Navy Seals who were sent to extract an American doctor from an anti-Christian rebel uprising in Nigeria. The doctor refused to leave without about seventy of those she was treating who were mobile enough to go with her.
How Can Salvation Be Free and Discipleship Be Costly?
Nov 2, 2020
Have you ever pondered the seeming contradiction in scripture that salvation is a free gift of God, but discipleship is costly? Isn’t being saved the same as being a disciple? How can they be both free and costly? I came upon this question in 1995 when I read John F. MacArther, Jr.’s book,
What is meant by the “Sin Nature” of Man?
Dec 3, 2020
I thought I would share a journal entry I made on January 29, 2019. I had just read Hebrews 4-5 and noted that I had written a margin note about free will, which said that it is the freedom to do what is in your nature to do.

The Gospel – The Solution to Man’s Greatest Problem
Dec 23, 2020
Romans 1:16 states, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.” The Gospel. You have heard of it. Some of you all your lives. But, do you know what it is, what it means?
