Light Into the Darkness - by Dr. Jerry N Watts

In 21st Century America, truth is often inconvenient and as a culture, comfort & convenience are a part of our mantra. The inconvenient nature of salvation causes many to choose 'religion of man' over a 'relationship with God.' From a text that I have never heard anyone preach on nor which, in 20 years of preaching, have I preached on.

The characteristics of Jesus are many. Yet, many have a skewed view of the Biblical Jesus. This message gives some 'handles' to who Jesus is, what He offers, and what He does.

From John the Baptist, we can learn what the world has a right to expect of Christ-followers.

We need an Awakening AND Revival in the USA. What are some of the obstacles? This Bible messages offers a few truths which we need to know and overcome.

Inspired by Pastor David Uth, this message (from the words of Paul to Timothy) call us to pour ourselves out for the work & advancement of the Kingdom.

It has been said that "God is not all you need until He's all you've got, but when He's all you've got, He'll be all you need." In the story of the Feeding of the 5000, we discover this truth first hand.

Bad news is a truism for mankind - we are a fallen people. Good News is also a truism because of our Lord Jesus.

Most of us spend our lives thinking about things which "we believe" are important (place, programs, personalities, and people) when God calls us to a higher level of thinking.

In his old age, Caleb lost NONE of his passion for God's promises..What an encouragement for us today.

Job is the poster boy about handling loss. Learn from him.

That first Easter morning, the grave was empty, death was defeated, & Jesus was alive. The reverberation of this truth resounds today.

The promises of Jesus are clear...Whether we are ready or not, He is coming again.

As Paul ended this letter, he was offering to the "Model Church" some things to never forget.

The second coming of our Lord Jesus should be the encouragement we need to face the day!

The Model Church is made up of "Model Brothers & Sisters"

If your church was brought up on charges of being a "Church of the Lord Jesus Christ"...would a conviction be attained - based on evidence?

Christ came to earth to establish the church, empower the church, and expand the church. The Church, His Church, will always rise & fall by HIS STANDARD. The church of the Thessalonians is considered to be the model church...what can we learn from them.

For a church to be a 'Model', it must be a healthy place. This means keeping the systems working according to the owner's manual.

The man Jabez can teach us much about praying.

The Christmas story of Jesus' birth offers truth for us which has the power to change lives. From the experience of the shepherds, we learn much.

In 21st Century America, we have developed a historical revisionist mentality which says, "If you don't like something or want to believe something about your past, change it." Yet, neither history NOR the Christmas story can be changed. It is what it is. And what Christmas is - is about Jesus.

This penetrating question is asked about us in many ways.

Like Simon Peter, Jesus asks us this probing question which may well sober us and invade our comfort zone.

This great question asked by PIlate as he stood in front of the crowd is the key question which we must ask today.

This question 'calls out' God's people to their devotion to Him
