Luke 24:1-9 Pastor Ralph Ovadal 40 minutes Christ is not to be found in carnal things and worldly pleasures, including worldly worship and foolish religious devices. Many today crave dross instead of silver. Many turn to dead things instead of the living Christ. We are in the midst of a great spiritual downgrade in this nation. We are in the throes of a great spiritual crisis. Filling dead churches with spiritually dead men only speeds the process of decay. Christ is not in those churches. Why seek ye the living among the dead?

Pastor Ralph Ovadal 57 minutes True repentance toward God is repentance from sin itself, not just certain sin because that sin is unfashionable, unprofitable, uncomfortable, or even unconscionable.
Titus 2:11-15 Pastor Ralph Ovadal 44 minutes Will we live like Cretians or like Christians? This epistle certainly gives us fair warning with regard to the former. It gives us much encouragement and instruction with regard to the latter. I am going to point out many things today from God's Word, but I am not going to preach much on any one point since I am covering so much in one sermon, and the Scriptures we will be reading are so clear in regard to my purpose today. The first matter with which Titus was to be concerned was the ordination of strong, capable, godly elders in every city, in every church. A nation without a good, strong, and lawful government will destroy and consume itself. The people of such a nation will lapse into anarchy but will call it liberty. What happens with the civil state happens to churches as well.

Numbers 21:4-9; John 6:41-69 Pastor Ralph Ovadal 47 minutes This incident documented in Numbers, chapter twenty-one, is filled with meaning and admonition for us today. I want to deal with it and then use it as a foundation for a New Testament text which we are also going to look at today.
Exodus 32 Pastor Ralph Ovadal 49 minutes This incident takes place less than forty days after the Israelites cowered before a quaking, smoking, fiery Mt. Sinai, begging God to cease speaking to them directly. Their fear of God lasted only as long as they felt threatened by Him. Now they demanded a golden calf to worship. They wanted a god that appealed to their carnal nature and that did not rebuke or reprove them. They wanted a nice-looking, dumb god that would not hold them accountable to the Word of God. They wanted what every false convert and rebel in the church wants today.

Important: SermonAudio tags will appear on some of the messages found on this web site. We are not in any way affiliated with SermonAudio! Please read the following explanation.
Those who listen to archived sermons or Heart of the Matter programs on this web site will notice that, currently, when they download some of those sermons and HOM programs that a SermonAudio logo appears. This is because Pilgrims Covenant Church messages were for a number of years posted at SermonAudio. But due to the increasingly deep compromise of SermonAudio in posting sermons from ministers unfaithful either in doctrine or practice or both, and also on account of the many corrupt conferences advertised on SermonAudio, we withdrew from SermonAudio. However, I did not realize when posting our sermons and programs on that site on a page for which we paid that the management was tagging our MP3 files with the logo of SermonAudio. We are working to remove the SermonAudio logo from all of the sermons and programs posted on this site which were previously posted at SermonAudio. However, this takes much time; so we felt it important to post this explanation and also this warning concerning SermonAudio, a web site with many sound ministers, but also many which are corrupting the Lord's blood-bought church. |
