Even though we know we've been called by God to reach out with the message of the gospel, even though we know we're called to minister to others, quite often believers fail to do so. We often fail to do what we've been called to do because we feel unworthy of such a calling and incapable of it. But, as we see in our message for today, our ministry is empowered by the Holy Spirit. It's only as he works through us that we can do anything; it's only as he works in others that their lives are touched.

Today, in a message based on 1 Peter 4:7-11 we see that the end of all things is at hand; this fact is stated all throughout Scripture. And because of this, we're told, we're to live for the Lord; in all things, we're to glorify him. This message can be heard at http://www.archive.org/details/KentSperryTheDayIsComing

It came out this past September that chaplains in the United States military have been told that they cannot publicly pray in Jesus' name. In this message, we look at why Christians end their prayers in this way, and why, despite orders, military chaplains must continue to do so. And not only them. So too must all believers who pray in public. This message can be heard at http://www.archive.org/details/KentSperryInJesusName

At Grace this week, we're hearing a series of messages entitled "Living the Life of Heaven." Our speaker is Pastor Dennis Norby from Helmar Lutheran Church. The first message in this series is titled "Welcoming the Message." In this sermon, based on 1 Thessalonians 1, Pastor Norby points out the effect that welcoming the gospel had upon this particular church and what it can have upon us as well.

Yesterday, at Redeemer, we heard a message based on Isaiah 5:1-7. In this text we see that God has done everything possible for mankind; there's nothing more God can do to convince man that he's God and that he should place his trust in the Lord. And because of this, if people continue in their rebellion, if they continue to turn from the Lord, he will justly pour his wrath upon them.
