Sermons from Pinelands Baptist

We study Jonah chapter 3 and we look specifically at some of the characteristics of the revival that takes place in the city of Nineveh. True revival is a sovereign work of God, it's based on the Word of God, it always includes repentance and always includes genuine relationship.

We look at Daniel chapter 6 and see three different areas where there is a strong contrast or opposing forces.

We start a new series called "Jesus First". This week we consider who Jesus was or what he was doing before he was a baby born in a stable. We consider various scriptures that speak to this.

In this final part of the series on Psalms, we study Psalm 73. This Psalm essentially asks the question "Why does it seem like someone else is doing so much better than me?". In our lives many of us will ask a similar question and we see how Asaph responds to this question in his psalm.

The scripture used for this sermon is Psalm 22. We look at the question that God is asked the most: "Oh God, why?".
