Datesort ascending Message Title Speakers Description
2002-07-09 020709 God's Part, Our Part George Murray Emphasizing God's sovereignty to the exclusion of our responsibility is wrong, and vice versa. The choosing of Gideon's army is a great illustration of the necessity of holding both of these truths as equally important.

2002-03-19 020319 John The Baptist : Signs of the Spirit's Fullness, Part 2 George Murray The most important thing about the Holy Spirit is not the Holy Spirit, but the Lord Jesus Christ. John the Baptist’s Spirit-filled life radiated the characteristics of Jesus.

2002-02-26 020226A John the Baptist: Sign of the Spirit's Fullness, Part 1 George Murray Are signs and wonders the clear proof of the Holy Spirit’s fulness? Not necessarily. Though John the Baptist never performed a miracle, he was filled with the Holy Spirit.
2002-02-20 020220B The Local Church: Indispensable Missionary Sender George Murray Don’t go to the mission field without the unqualified commendation and backing of a local church. You need this for accountability and support. Besides, it’s biblical!
2002-01-25 020125 Equity or Eternity? George Murray The man in this parable was an honest, early-rising, hard-working farmer who got what he deserved because he worked for it with his own two hands. Why, then, did God call him "a fool"? The answer may surprise you.
2002-01-08 020108 Knowing Christ George Murray One sure sign of spiritual maturity is the desire to grow, and one major hindrance to growth is an unhealthy obsession with the past.

2001-10-27 011027 The Goodness of God George Murray God is good and His goodness is great, even when it may not appear to be; and, God wants us to understand, continue in, and demonstrate His goodness to others.
2001-10-23 011023B Relationships George Murray A one-on-one conversation between George and Annette Murray about relationships, especially between men and women students.
2001-10-18 011018 Go! Look! Be Moved! Pray! George Murray We’re not moved because we’re not looking. In this passage, Jesus give us the solution for reaching the whole world.
2001-10-17 011017 Four Ways God Answers Prayer George Murray When we are “standing on praying ground” God always answers our prayers, but it may be in a different way than we expect.

2001-05-18 010518B The Purpose of God's Choosing George Murray The Bible does not talk about hundreds of different things; the Bible talks about one thing in hundreds of different ways. That one thing reveals why God chooses us to belong to Him.
2001-04-24 010424 Present-Tense Salvation Is Victorious Christian Living George Murray Victorious Christian living is God’s intended present-tense salvation norm for every believer.
2001-04-20 010420 SMC Charlie Davis
2001-04-03 010403 We Need The Gospel for Present-Tense Salvation George Murray Not only did we need to believe the Gospel for initial salvation, but we must believe and accept its provision for present-tense victorious Christian living.
2001-03-06 010306 Bloodguiltiness George Murray The bloodguiltiness of the Church is far greater than the bloodguiltiness of Cain. The man he killed went to heaven; the people we ignore go to Hell. Can we, like Paul, say “I am free from the blood of all people?”
2001-02-22 010222B Do You Have a Missionary Heart? George Murray Missions is not primarily a matter of geographic distance or ethnic difference; missions is primarily a matter of Gospel availability. While all of us may not become missionaries, we all need to have a missionary heart.

2001-01-25 010125 Forgetting What Is Behind George Murray Two great hindrances to spiritual growth are the inability to forget past failures and the inability to forget past hurts.

2001-01-09 010109 Spiritual Growth George Murray Spiritual growth is not measure by how much we know, but by how much we obey.
2000-12-08 001208A The Government Will Be Upon His Shoulders George Murray God never intended for you to bear the weight of the world, because the government is squarely on His shoulders.

2000-02-24 000224A Fulfilling the Vision (WCW 3) Jerry Rankin Jerry Rankin tells us that the Great Commission is always in the mind of God, not an afterthought or daydream.

He fills his message with true stories that are incredible and humorous yet they always have a moral ending. One of the themes he covers is that desperate times call for desperate measures. Mr. Germann encourages us not to miss out on the amazing joy of the Lord because of the worry, anxiety, and pain in our life, and how to be healed.

He tells us that when we resist our environment, the Holy Spirit will transform us. When we are transformed, we will find the will of God. We need to be obedient to Jesus' command of "GO" that he made four times. Fear of loss, eternal payoff, and love for Jesus are all reasons for us to obey this command.

1997-05-18 970518-253 The Role of Woman Robertson McQuilkin Robertson McQuilkin speaks on the role of women. He begins by saying that it does not mean that women are not inferior or superior and are not to be subservient to men in general. He then talks about her role in marriage which is to complement her man, motherhood, and followership. He states that immorality, abandonment, and commanding her to sin are the only reasons for the woman to leave her husband's authority. He ends by presenting her role outside marriage, particularly in the Church.

He emphasizes having an eternal focus, the reality and horror of hell, and the joy of the gospel: believing, following, and being satisfied in Christ.
1996-01-01 96019 The Search Goes on Through a Suffering Son John Piper John Piper speaks on the reality of the suffering Christ; that His afflictions are to be presented to the world through the afflictions of His people. The love of the Lord is better than life, and suffering for Christ is a cause for rejoicing! He uses the example of Paul as a man full of love in the midst of suffering.
1996-01-01 96022 The Search Goes on by Spiritual Laborers John Piper John Piper speaks on how God commands our affections, and how to unleash love through the pursuit of joy. He talks about how missions is not a sacrifice, but a privilege – and we should find satisfaction in the secure reward.
1996-01-01 96020 The Search Goes on in the Spoken Word John Piper John Piper speaks on Calvinism for missions. He speaks of the shepherd Jesus, laying down His life for the sheep, who are enabled by His Father to recognize His call. Piper challenges us to have a magnificent glorious view of a sovereign God!
1996-01-01 96018 The Search Goes on by a Seeking Father John Piper John Piper speaks on a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples. He defines missions as a means to the ultimate goal of the church: worship. Genuine heartfelt praise is not an add-on, but the consummation of delight in our relationship to God.

1994-01-01 94070 Unanswered Prayer During this message Johnny Miller focuses on unanswered prayers. The scripture that he starts of with is Luke 18:1. In this passage he shows us that Jesus taught that it is important to pray without giving up; even when we get discouraged which is what happens when we believe that our prayers are not being answered. In this message Johnny Miller talks about what kind of prayers may be answered no and lessons we can learn. This message helps the listener to understand how prayers can be answered and why they may not go the way we want them to.
