The reality of Hell – a sermon by Tope Koleoso

July 10, 2011

The above sermon will shake you to the core. Tope didn’t mention those who have recently been denying hell by name, but his disagreement with them could not have been clearer. This is a compassionate yet very direct sermon on a painful but important subject. It was my delight to pray with someone at the [...]

Tope Koleoso on Evangelism. Prepare to be challenged.

July 3, 2011

The above sermon was one of Tope’s finest. It had me squirming in my seat from the first sentence. You will do well to listen. You will do well to pray as I have today, “God give me opportunities to put this into practice.” May God use this sermon to wake many of us up [...]

Why your church doesn’t feel like family

June 18, 2010

Mark Driscoll is at his very best in the following clip. Ever wondered how family and mission entwine, especially in a growing church where you don’t know anyone? Ever wished for more intimacy and a greater relational feel in your church? Ever felt neglected and rejected in your church? Ever felt like your church was [...]

NWA10 – Rebecca Manley Pippert, author of “Out of the Saltshaker”

April 17, 2010

Richard Cunningham interviewed Rebecca Manley Pippet from Salt Shaker Ministries one evening at New Word Alive about evangelism in place of a sermon. She spoke about how “torpedo evangelism” was not helpful. She gave the example of a woman who quite literally threw a gospel tract at her once. People are afraid of evangelism. We [...]

When it is Great to be Wrong!

March 1, 2010

I received another email (see the first), which I have permission to share anonymously. It shows that I was not entirely right. I still believe, however, that for most people leading our evangelism with creationism is not the best way. I think that stories like this tell us that we must treat every inquirer as [...]

Darwin and the Christian – A Tour by Christian Evolutionists

February 26, 2010

UPDATE – To avoid confusion, please note that this post should not be interpreted as as reflecting my personal views on the subject of creation and evolution. I was simply noting that people who believe in God have different opinions on this matter, and that in a number of cases, to focus on this issue [...]

Is This A Conservative Evangelical Blog?

February 2, 2009

Well, this blogger is back, and as you can tell from the title of this post having an identity crisis. In fact, I should warn you that I am still not in fact fully back blogging. Until my book is actually ready to submit to my publishers, I plan on continuing to mostly limit my [...]

VIDEO – Billy Graham Preaching in 1958

October 7, 2008

I only just recently discovered that videos from Billy Graham are available free online. I had a look at the following sermon from 1958 and it was really heartwarming. O may God raise up preachers like Billy again! Billy will soon be 90 years old and some people have set up a site for people [...]

Spurgeon – Conversions are God’s Stamp of Approval on Preaching

October 4, 2008

I’ve been sharing a number of quotes from Spurgeon’s The Soul Winner. Today I thought I’d share one which is quite striking. It argues that since conversion is a miracle, it is by a trail of such miracles we can know if someone is called to preach. “A new and heavenly mind must be created [...]

SERMON – How to be Missional Every Day by Tope Koleoso

July 1, 2008

I recently posted what I trust will be a series which will be about sermons that have changed my life. It is way too early for me to claim that this past Sunday’s talk by my pastor and dear friend, Tope Koleoso, will be one of those. But I could do a lot worse than [...]

VIDEO – Ed Stetzer: Warine Award and Interview – What Does Missional Mean?

June 13, 2008

The following interview was recorded using iChat and, as I claim at the beginning, I don’t believe you can achieve this kind of good quality with a PC over normal broadband lines across the Atlantic, at least as far as I know. Ed, still being computer-challenged (i.e. he actually uses a Microsoft windoze machine!) therefore [...]

NWA08 – Hugh Palmer on Treasuring Christ and the Call to Service

April 10, 2008

Earlier today I interviewed Hugh Palmer. Tonight, in typical wry self-depreciating humor, he began his talk by saying that we would be moving from the American passion we saw demonstrated last night, to the British understatement we could expect to experience now. He began by telling us that we don’t tell people the gospel for [...]
