It is finished; the wrath of God toward sin on the cross and end times.

It Is Finished

Posted on May 5, 2025May 4, 2025 by James Williams

On two different occasions, Jesus cried out, “It is finished.” Both have to do with the pouring out of God’s wrath. Both have an eternal impact. The Last “It Is Finished” The final “it is finished” occurs in Revelation 16:17. Leading up to this passage, God has poured out the first six bowls his judgement….

On Resurrection Sunday, God’s people gathered together and celebrated the victory of our Lord Jesus Christ over Satan, sin, and the grave! With hopeful hearts, we looked back at Christ’s finished work, but we also looked forward with Resurrection hope to the day we will see the consummation of Christ’s final victory as God’s people…

Shrinking in Shame

Posted on March 3, 2025February 28, 2025 by James Williams

There are certain moments a father never forgets. One of the sweetest memories of my young children occurred when I came home after work. Immediately, my children would drop whatever they were doing and scream “Daddy’s home” while running full speed into my kneecaps. Though I came home everyday, they greeted me as if I…

Take heed, lest you fall. Dangers of Sin

Take Heed Lest You Fall

Posted on February 3, 2025January 31, 2025 by James Williams

Kings tried to take his life. He stood toe-to-toe with an armed giant who terrified entire armies. He walked by faith in situations that would make many run in fear. Almighty God called him a “man after my own heart.” Yet, in spite of his history of godly character and tremendous faith, David let down…

sanctity of human life; is abortion good? what about cases of rape?

The Fight For Life

Posted on January 21, 2025 by James Williams

This past Sunday was the Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, a day set aside to reflect on God as the Giver of life, to remember the many who’ve been lost to abortion, and to raise awareness for the cause of life. Below is the sermon I preached that covers: Abortion is not merely a political…

Snatched From The Fire

Posted on January 13, 2025January 13, 2025 by James Williams

Last week I attended a funeral for a 92-year-old man. His daughter shared how the Lord impressed upon her to share the gospel with her father. While together for Thanksgiving, she tried to steer the conversation that way, but it didn’t happen. She tried again a few weeks later and was once again unable. Sensing…

Thanksgiving; when you don't feel thankful; David's prayer of thankfulness in 2 Samuel 7

When You Don’t Feel Thankful

Posted on November 24, 2024November 23, 2024 by James Williams

This week, many of us will gather with family and friends to feast and remind ourselves of all we have to be thankful for. Some enter this season joyfully and find it easy to spout off reasons for their thankfulness. Others have had a difficult year and already feel pressure to “look the part” this…

A Single-Issue Voter?

Posted on September 2, 2024September 2, 2024 by James Williams

So you’re a single-issue voter? It’s a question that’s often asked with a negative connotation. To be a single-issue voter is looked upon as ignorant or overly dogmatic. Perhaps it’s true that being a single-issue voter on certain issues is too extreme. Being overly dogmatic on every issue might show a lack of level-headedness. However,…

When Fear Assails…

Posted on August 19, 2024August 17, 2024 by James Williams

I began the day with a heavy and stressed heart. I had to lead a meeting that would most likely be confrontational and intense. All morning I prayed for the Lord to take care of it in a way that only he can. “Lord, I don’t know what to do, and I don’t know how…
