Most people know that John Wesley was the founder of the Methodist Movement and a preacher who God used to bring about the Great Awakening in the 1700s. What most may not know is that he had a lousy marriage. William Carey is considered the father of modern missions, but did you know that he,
With all the hoopla surrounding the royal wedding today I thought it might be more fruitful to post a sermon I did a few months ago (mostly non-evangelistic) that deals solely with the King of Kings from Psalm 145. If you want to watch or listen click here, then scroll down to February 4, 2011.

A Wretch Like Me
1 Tim 1:12-17
(August 13, 2010)
I’m happy to report that I’m in my 20th year as a born again Christian, and today, I want to tell you how that happened. I’m going to give you my testimony. The last time I shared this was 7 years ago, and it is said that every 7 years we get a new body, and that’s sometimes true with a church body.
So if you’ve joined the Hope Chapel family in the last several years, I want to encourage you with what God can do in a life. I want to paint a picture of how the Lord Jesus Christ poured out his love and mercy and forgiveness on me, the sinner.
As you listen, my hope is that you will reflect on what Christ has done in you, and that you will be zealous to share the transforming good news with everyone who needs to hear it.
Every born again Christian should have a testimony prepared. Every born again Christian has a story to tell about how their lives have changed since believing in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
The term “Born Again” was popularized by Watergate co-conspirator and lead henchman of the Nixon Whitehouse, Chuck Colson, who wrote a best seller of the same name about his conversion to Christianity in the ‘70s, when he was thrown in jail for his crimes.
Do you have any family members who need to know the Lord? Maybe it’s granny, Uncle Bob, mom or that brother who only shows up at Christmas. If so, then you need to listen to this message I preached a few weeks back about how to win your family inspired by the Way of the Master television show.

WINNING YOUR FAMILY
(Acts 16:31)
I wear a T-shirt on occasion that my wife thinks is kind of weird. I got it at a memorial service several years ago as a keepsake to remember a man who died.
21 Years in the Light!
Today is my 21st re-birthday, the day I bowed my knee to Jesus Christ and gave my life to Him. It’s an annual tradition for me to post my testimony of how I came to faith. Here are some highlights: One night while searching for witches’ covens in an open field at midnight, I challenged
