I’m excited to let you know that we are offering a FREE monthly sermon series download through Sherwood’s online bookstore.

For the month of July, download “Does the Gospel Even Matter?” absolutely FREE. We live in a day when what used to be right is now wrong. People throw around spiritual terms, but they use a totally different dictionary than we’ve used throughout Church History.

Some think it doesn’t matter what you believe, as long as you are sincere. Others deny a literal hell. These are serious, eternal issues. This series shows us why the gospel of Jesus Christ and its proclamation is as important as it has ever been. Continue reading →

Having been a teenager during the Vietnam War, I am very familiar with the pain, controversy, disrespect, and lack of appreciation our Vietnam vets have faced – many who were drafted, many who volunteered. There were fellow students from my high school who went off to Vietnam and never returned.

“Faith of our Fathers” is a powerful tool to honor our veterans, while at the same time presenting a clear gospel message of the power of grace and forgiveness. The film features many familiar faces, including Alex Kendrick (Sherwood Pictures and Kendrick Brothers Productions), Ken Bevel (retired Marine captain, Fireproof, Courageous), and Kevin Downes (Downes Brothers Entertainment, Courageous, Moms Night Out).

Buy a ticket for yourself and your family – and give one to a veteran to thank them for their service!

Because we no longer have a Christian worldview in our land, we have lost our spiritual moorings. We are soulish, but not spiritual. Continue reading →

I don’t think we understand what that means. A divine interruption is when the Lord rends the heavens, and the mountains shake in His presence. A divine interruption happens when the Spirit falls and a church is released into the streets to boldly share the gospel.

A divine interruption happens when people who have been filled with hatred, unforgiveness, lying tongues, prejudice, immorality, gossip, and strife fall on their faces and repent before a holy God. It happens in a prayer environment. It’s a heart rending, produced by being in the presence of God. Continue reading →

(continued from Part 1)

The world needs Jesus. They’ve seen too many caricatures of Christ. This world at her worse needs the church at her best. The church at her best is not about performance, being cool, or a tip in the offering plate. It’s about laying ourselves on the altar, dying to self, and rising as a living, breathing example of the life-changing power of Jesus Christ. Continue reading →
