This is one of the most important messages I have ever written and preached. I woke up quite early this morning with a burden on my heart for talks I am going to give this weekend to men and women, fathers and daughters and I listened to this message on my pre-dawn walk. Often listening […]

In a moment of weakness this week I yielded to the temptation to buy some Michigan Sour Cherry Candies. I really don’t need Michigan Sour Cherry Candies at all, but I can eat them like a champion. Outside the store was a kid riding a skateboard back and forth in front of the door. Just […]

H. A. Ironside Classic re-post from 2001 My Grandpa Shipley was a man of few words, but they were usually well chosen ones. When you left the family would form a circle and hold hands and Grandpa would pray– in a few well-chosen words. Then the last thing before you went down the steps and […]

It’s cool and rainy this evening as I write. The kids started a fire to take the chill off the house. Out toward the Lower Huron River this evening, after church, I noticed that the Redbuds and the Dogwoods are in flower. Even though it is cool tonight, it is fully spring. My study at […]

Re-post from last Thanksgiving… Our first-born was here for Thanksgiving Eve. I gave him the pulpit. He brought a brief Thanksgiving message. It was a meaningful message–worth a listen. You can hear it right here: https://kenpierpont.com/evaudio/20091125_Kyle_Pierpont_God_Is_Very_Good.mp3

[If you would rather listen to this than read it, click on the player below. Let me know what you think.] We had powerful services at Evangel yesterday. Powerful. One of my favorite parts of the services yesterday happened quietly in the evening service. Krista sang in church last night. She is a good girl—really […]

Here is a link to my message Sunday morning. https://kenpierpont.com/evaudio/20100228_Ken_Pierpont_It_Takes_a_Miracle_and_a_Martyr_.mp3 I love coffee. I prefer gourmet coffee from a little family-owned roaster north of Grand Rapids, Michigan, but I don’t commonly have any on hand. Most mornings are not gormet mornings anyway, they are plain-vanilla, get-it-done days. They are MacDonald&#8217...

Here is a copy of my message at Evangel Sunday morning: https://kenpierpont.com/evaudio/20100221_Ken_Pierpont_The_Ethopian_Eunuch.mp3 In the first year of our marriage Lois and I served a little country church and lived across the road in a tidy cape cod parsonage. It was their tradition to have a revival service every year. After the meetings one night Lois […]

https://boos.audioboo.fm/attachments/365956/Recording.mp3 Praise is more important than eating. If you don’t eat you will die, but if you don’t adore God you are spiritually dead. It’s important that you make a habit of public praise. Praise is your spiritual pulse, the life-blood of your soul. Private piety is important and there are commands that can only […]

I get teaching tips from Josh Hunt. Here is one a powerfully agree with: I was talking to my father-in-law over enchiladas in Hatch, NM (no better place to eat enchiladas than Hatch, NM) yesterday about his lesson that day. He uses Lifeway’s Explore the Bible Series and my Good Questions as a supplement. They […]

Monday and Tuesday Dan, Wes, and I heard Dr. James Grier preach through the storyline of the entire Bible… the Biblical Drama. What a worship experience that is. If you ever have a chance to hear him in person, go. Be sure you bring your thinking cap. (Wouldn’t hurt to bring a small electronic dictionary […]

When I was a boy at Lincoln Lake Camp, I used to ask continually if it was possible to lose my salvation if I sinned. The answer usually included something that sounded like this, “No, Kenny, if you are genuinely saved you will sin less, but your sin will not take your salvation away, it […]

My Grandfather Pierpont grew up near Chatham, Ohio in the days when cars were a novelty of the rich. For staples and supplies that the family couldn’t grow on the farm they would take a buggy to the village store. He often told the story about what happened on one of those trips to town. […]

I hope you have a blessed worn spot in your Bible from Genesis 25 on. It is the heart of the book of Genesis. I hope your […]

The world we live in can be a depraved, violent, sensual, defiling, ugly place. Sometimes that hits close to home. Sometimes that hits within our homes. What should we do when the ugliness of sin hits close to home? https://kenpierpont.com/evaudio/20090426_Ken_Pierpont_Communion_or_Catastrophe.mp3
