Suddenly

A study on revival

November 1, 2023 • Pastor Tom Arnould • Acts 2:1–4, Acts 12:5, Acts 16:25

What would you say are some of the most major events that happened in the United States in this past year? I believe that one of the most significant, not only in the Christian world but in general, is the Asbury Revival. If you are not aware, there was a massive spontaneous revival that broke out at a private university in Kentucky known as Asbury University. The flame started there then spread to several other college campuses in a truly organic way, evidencing the Holy Spirit's involvement in this movement. I believe that this revival is a perfect example of the Holy Spirit's tendency toward acting "suddenly." He will not always wait for us to be ready and let him know we are ready for a move: He redraws plans as is best for the will of God.

Change Your Words, Change Your World

December 31, 2023 • Pastor Tom Arnould • Hebrews 11:1, Proverbs 18:21

Wednesday night I felt called by God to do a message on words. I dug on my computer that night and managed to find a sermon outline I had made in 2006. I had so many positive comments in response to this message, and I felt it would be good to review this message as a complete church family today. The simple fact is that changing your words you speak over your life is often all you need to massively change your world. The things in your life you are unsatisfied with could be the result of the words you are speaking. Understanding what the Bible has to say about words is crucial for the Christian's life.

Framing Your World with God's Word

December 27, 2023 • Pastor Tom Arnould • Proverbs 18:21

I would like to share out of the book of Proverbs 18:21. It says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." Whether you realize it or not, you got saved because of the power of words. The tongue produces not only words, but also makes an impact and brings about what we speak. Some people may want to exclude some details and say only life is in the power of the tongue, but the Bible is clear that where the tongue can bring about life it can also cause destruction.

Be a Shepherd

December 24, 2023 • Pastor Tom Arnould • Luke 2:8–20

The shepherds are a central element of the Christmas story. They came from the fields hoping to see Christ through earnest desire of seeking God, and were rewarded for their effort. But in addition to coming and seeing, they went out and told others about what they said seen, proclaiming Christ. The believer should desire to be like a shepherd in these two regards: we should seek Christ, and speak Christ to others.
