Check out the hit single by Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors entitled, Live Forever. All members of the band are dedicated Christian men and women.

Reach Out to Jesus by Peter Lumpkins

Several years ago, some friends and I were having a blast in our friend's recording studio. Ron picked up his guitar, Jeff sat down at the keyboard, and I was left with the microphone. The result? With that, I am... Peter Read more →

God's Radar by The Rev. Dan Smith

Just Keep Goin On by The Reverend Dan Smith

Below is one of my favorite artists of all time--The Rev. Dan Smith. His inspiration is contagious, and his simple-faith authenticity cannot be matched. He was pushing 90 years of age when he recorded this live session with contemporary Christian artist, Bryan Duncan, in 1992. Enjoy it. I do. With that, I am... Peter Read more →

One More River to Cross

Knowing God's Will: A Sermon by Peter Lumpkins

A few years ago, I preached a sermon series entitled "Has Anybody Seen The Will Of God? I've Misplaced It." This message, entitled "Six Keys to Understand the Will of God" was one within the series. Perhaps it may be helpful in some way to you. Grace. With that, I am... Peter Read more →

Does My Life Count For Something?

I preached this message a few years back. It is a practical exposition of a sacred phrase our Lord uttered in His prayer to His Father in John 17: "Father, I have finished the work You have given Me to do." (17:4). I entitled it then: "Making Life Count". It's amazing how, when I occasionally listen to a message I preached several years ago, how, if I had it to do over, I'd go in a different direction or focus on another nuance of the text. Also, I am amazed... Read more →

The Power of the Church

The following sermon I preached a couple of years ago. It reflects my deep conviction as I lament the frail, impotent, feel-good approaches employed by some today in their desperate attempt to 'make the Church relevant'. God's Church, as she employs her God-given power, will never cease to be relevant. *Update: Click here to subscribe to Podcast feed. It may be helpful. You may listen from your feed reader...
