Sermon Clips


The Church, like the disciples, often finds itself powerless against the challenges of the modern world, which is marked by a denial of spiritual truths and a dismissal of the divine. The Church's failure to impact society as it once did is evident. Despite increased activity and efforts, the Church struggles to address the spiritual apathy and moral decline of our time. [00:10:13]

The Church must recognize the limitations of its current strategies and seek the power of God through prayer and fasting. This kind of spiritual warfare requires a deep awareness of our need for divine intervention. It is not enough to rely on apologetics, modern translations, or media outreach. These methods, while valuable, are insufficient to address the spiritual crisis we face. [00:31:43]

The call to prayer and fasting is a call to recognize our dependence on God. It is a call to seek His power to break through the spiritual darkness of our age. Only through earnest prayer and fasting can we hope to see a revival that transforms lives and society. The Church must unite in prayer, seeking the outpouring of the Holy Spirit to bring about a true awakening. [00:47:37]

The problem for us is not apathy; it isn't mere lack of concern and lack of interest. It is something much more desperate. It seems to me to be a complete unawareness and denial even of the spiritual altogether. It isn't a mere apathy; it isn't that people really have at the back of their minds what is right and true but that they're not doing anything about it. [00:25:10]

The Church is so constituted that every member matters and matters in a very vital sense. I therefore call attention to this also, partly because unless I am greatly mistaken, there is a curious tendency today for members of the Christian church to feel and to think that they themselves have very little to do or can do and to look to others to do it for them. [00:03:58]

The Church must recognize its dependence on God and seek His power to break through the spiritual darkness of our age. Only through earnest prayer and fasting can we hope to see a revival that transforms lives and society. The Church must unite in prayer, seeking the outpouring of the Holy Spirit to bring about a true awakening. [00:47:37]

The modern world dismisses the authority of the Bible and the divinity of Christ, reducing Him to a mere historical figure. This spiritual blindness requires a deeper, more powerful response than the Church's current methods can provide. Jesus' words to His disciples highlight the need for a different approach. [00:25:53]

The Church must recognize the limitations of its current strategies and seek the power of God through prayer and fasting. This kind of spiritual warfare requires a deep awareness of our need for divine intervention. It is not enough to rely on apologetics, modern translations, or media outreach. These methods, while valuable, are insufficient to address the spiritual crisis we face. [00:31:43]
