PP Preaching

this great conflict. If we have gathered any defilement, if our faith suffers any damage today, if our hope is anything less than heaven's brightness, and if my love is not fervent, if some creature comfort comes and occupies my heart, if my soul sinks under pressure of the fight, come and heal us, O Lord. Forgive and heal. For your every promise, O God, that you give us is a balm.

Your every touch to us is life itself. For you draw near to your weary warriors. And so, God, give us strength, and if we fail, refresh us, that we may rise again and wage this strife. And never tire, O God, until every enemy of our King is laid trodden under His feet. O Lord, give us such fellowship with You that we may defy Satan himself and defy unbelief and defy the flesh and defy the world through that sweet fellowship that we have with You, Your Word and Spirit, that we would delight that nothing from a creaturely perspective delights us, but that we would delight in our God and that our names, because of our Savior, is written in His book.

Father, give us drink from the eternal fountain. Give us this drink. Let us understand the everlasting love that You have for us. Then we will never weaken. Our feet will never stumble. Our sword will never rest.

Our shield would never rust. Our helmet would never shatter. Our breastplate never fall. Because our strength rests in the power of your glorious might. So, Father, we pray that the preaching of your word that has convicted us and transformed us and is continuing to do that transforming work in us three men here, we pray that you would begin that work today in a soul here.

Yes. As your word goes forth, Father, we pray that you would give words to Michael as he preaches. We pray that words would be given to him by your spirit that he would utter. And Father, when he becomes distracted, that you would undistract him and let him focus like a laser upon the mission that's at hand to deliver the very words of life into dead people.

Father let the words of life go into the deadness of someone today and cause new life Father just as you needed to open the heart of our sister Lydia so that she would pay attention to what was being said to her we pray dear God that you would open hearts today to pay attention to what is being said and so Father because we are such a distracted people with so many trinkets at our disposal. Remove all distractions, Father, from the hearers that are hearing today, please. Father, we ask that radios would cease to work, that earbuds would be lost or broken, that car noise would be no distraction at all, Father, but that the hearing of your word, Father, would enter into them and that they would have a heart to receive it, Father, and only you can grant this.

So we are just soldiers here, Father, with no weapon of our own, no weapons of carnal means. We only come with your word and we only come with truth and that is enough and we thank you, God, that that's enough. Help us, Lord. Give us strength for your son's sake. Amen. Amen.

Thanks, brother. So we can get a sign out. Man, it's a nice day. Yeah, it is beautiful, isn't it? It's supposed to rain the next four of us. You got everything out of here?

Mm-hmm. All right. how do i uh here we go yeah you've been bleaching it yeah that's wild have i been bleaching it yeah it looks like it's already all i've been i wear it all the time oh do you okay that makes sense it goes through the wash Yeah, maybe you're maybe you're washing it too much too hard of water or something Yeah, that's one of the first does first thing I did when I bought this house Ah, I think I I think I got a refurbished one from Connecticut. I paid a lot less than that So, we had one before, so we were already happy with the model.

Oh. So, yeah. But, well. Yeah, well, if you wear it all the time, that's great, man. That makes me happy to think about it. I love this shirt.

It's so comfortable. It is a comfortable shirt, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, there you are.

Alright well there you are Here we are We'll go say hi to our buddies there. Hi ladies. Hello. Hey John. How you going? Good.

How you doing? Good. How are you doing? I'm just getting ready to go, but I think I'm coming back later. Okay. I got here early.

I'm just trying to finish the road. Okay. I'm just trying to finish the road. Okay. I'm just trying to finish the road. Okay.

I'm just trying to finish the road. Okay. I'm just trying to finish the rosary. I'm going to do my preaching and see what can happen here. Perfect time. Lord's giving us a good day.

Absolutely. All right. Testing. Testing. Alright. According to the Word of God, there are six things that Yahweh hates, seven that are an abomination to Him. hawny eyes, lying lips, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, and feet that make haste to run to evil.

So we're here to warn you that what you're doing is going to send you to hell one day. And the Lord looks down upon the children of man to see if there are any who are righteous. And He sees none. And so when we come to a place like this to murder human beings, what we show is our depravity. So God in heaven has explained to us in the word why human beings are the way they are.

Each and every one of us is born with what is called original sin. We're actually conceived with original sin. this means that we are just like our father Adam who in the garden of Eden sinned against God and brought a curse upon all humanity there is nothing that can remove your stain of original sin except for the blood of Jesus Christ and so what we come to announce to you today is that there is a God in heaven. There is a Savior, and His name is Jesus Christ, and He came into the world so that sinners could be forgiven and freed from their bondage.

Jesus Christ came into the world to die a death that other people deserved. so according to the scripture any righteousness that you think you have in the eyes of God is a filthy rag he compares the righteousness of all human beings to menstrual cloths actually because the best that any of us can do in our own strength is nothing but wickedness in the sight of God only Jesus Christ can forgive sins and only Jesus Christ can forgive sinners read that when you have time we want you to repent of coming to a wicked place like this we're here to help people and anyone who would murder another person has reached a particular level of depravity and wickedness that is actually pretty rare and so we call on you to walk away from this place to go to a real health care facility somewhere and get help this is a place of iniquity and bloodshed and God is going to have His judgment on all evildoers one day. So we call on you to turn from your sin and to trust Jesus Christ as Savior. What this means is to believe that you have no righteousness of your own.

This is to believe that there is nothing that you can do to earn God's favor. There's no amount of religious rituals you can do. There's no amount of good deeds that you think you can do that literally everything that you do is sin in the eyes of a holy God. Because everything that is not done through faith in Jesus Christ is sin. So the announcement that Jesus Christ has come into the world is supposed to be good news. and it's good news to those whom God is pleased with to those whom God has placed his favor upon when the angel announced the birth of the baby he said glory to God in the highest and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased This is a reference to the fact that Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace.

He is the King of Peace, and He is the One who came into the world so that sinners could have peace with God. How do you achieve that peace with God? Is it by deciding not to get an abortion? Will that get you peace with God? No, it won't. Peace with God comes by believing that Jesus Christ is your only hope for righteousness.

Peace with God comes by believing that Jesus rose from the dead so that sinners could be forgiven and believing that when He rose from the dead, He rose so that you could one day raise with Him. But that will only happen if you've died with Him. Only those who die to self and come to Jesus Christ for forgiveness will receive the new life promised in Christ.

Only those who are placed in Christ by the Holy Spirit and are born again will be resurrected again with Christ. And so our announcement to you is that there is a God in heaven. We're here to declare this great God, this wonderful God in heaven who is love itself. He is love. This wonderful God in heaven, He is the resurrection and the life. He is the very definition of perfection.

There is no hope apart from Him. There's nothing good apart from Him. Nothing even exists apart from Him. And our only hope in this life is that we may know Him. And the way that you can know God is only through His Son, Jesus Christ. Do you know who Jesus Christ is?

He's the God in heaven. And He's the only hope any of us have of forgiveness. We must be born again according to the Bible. And Jesus told His disciples, let little children come to Me. And so we announce the gospel that Jesus saves sinners from their sin. We announce it in the presence of little children.

We announce it in the presence of clinic escorts. We announce it in the presence of anyone in this parking lot. We announce it in the presence of a security guard or a policeman. We want everyone to know of the grace of Jesus Christ. We want everyone to know that this God is so great that when he punished his only son Jesus on the cross, that Jesus was able to pay the penalty for all of the sinners who would come to him.

That Jesus was able to suffer completely the wrath of God for all of his people so that sinners could be forgiven and could be ushered into the presence of God, adopted into God's family as sons and daughters because Jesus Christ came and died and because Jesus Christ rose from the grave and Jesus Christ lives forevermore. We announce the name of Jesus Christ that you may know that He is God. That you may know that there is no way to approach Him other than the very ways that He is prescribed in Scripture. that there is no hope for anybody who has not been born again that anybody who believes they can add to their faith in Jesus Christ or muster up enough strength that they can come to God on their own is sorely mistaken God's vengeance on evildoers is eternity in hell an eternal punishment for a finite existence in this world.

Some people find that irrational. The reason why eternal torment is rational is because our offenses for which we will be punished in hell are against an infinitely holy God. So each and every sin that we commit and in our minds in a finite period of time here is infinitely unrighteous in His eyes. So what we call on you to do is to consider that Jesus Christ came into the world to suffer and to die for sinners.

We call on you to believe that Jesus Christ died in your place and rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures. We call on you to repent, to repent of your sin, of your unrighteousness, to repent even of what you think of as righteous, and to come to the Savior, to turn from all of your ways, to turn from sexual immorality, iniquity, idolatry, the worship of false gods, praying to saints, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties murders adulteries the slaughter of infants Repent of all of these things that the Bible calls the works of the flesh rivalries and dissensions and divisions, jealousy, fits of anger. These are the works of the flesh, and those who do them will not inherit the kingdom of God.

The Bible describes us as foolish, faithless, heartless, and ruthless. There can be almost no better description of somebody who would murder their own child or any baby in the womb. And then after describing us this way, the Bible says, for though you know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve to die you not only do them but give approval to those who do them by being in this parking lot you're giving your approval to the murder of children you are promoting and defending the murder of children you are encouraging the murder of children and their blood is on your hand as if you were the one holding the scalpel or the instrument used to burn the children to death or suffocate them.

And God will have his holy vengeance on you. And what we want you to know is that there is a Savior, Jesus Christ. There is one who offers forgiveness for those who truly come to him, for those who repent of their evil doing, for those who repent of their attitude and posture of hatred towards this holy God. Jesus Christ said, I am the resurrection and the life.

Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live. And everyone who thus believes in me shall never die. This was an announcement. It was an announcement that all those who come to Him will have eternal life, which is knowing Christ Jesus as Lord. Jesus Christ also said, My sheep hear my voice, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. and no one can snatch them out of my hands.

He follows that up by saying, My Father who is greater than all and has given them to me, no one can snatch them out of my Father's hands. Jesus Christ and the Father in heaven hold His bride, hold His people in the paw of their hand. and if you are one of Christ's sheep or one of his sheep you will believe but Jesus said the reason you do not believe is that you are not one of my sheep but we hope for better things for you things concerning salvation so rather than sitting there with dull ears when Jesus pronounces let he who has ears to hear, let him hear. We call on you to hear his voice.

We call on you to hear the voice of the good shepherd calling his sheep to come home. We call on you to repent of false religious works. We call on you to repent of thinking that your efforts will somehow get you to God, that your efforts will somehow earn you forgiveness for your wrongdoings. we call you to repent of not thinking you've done anything wrong to turn away from your sinful ways and your idolatries and to turn to the God who created you who sent his son into the world to pay the penalty that sinners deserve this is our hope for you there is nobody here who has sinned beyond the value of Jesus Christ's death.

But we call on you to turn from your sin now, to turn away from your sin, and to turn to the Savior, and to perform works that accord with your repentance. That means to run away from a Planned Parenthood. It means if you've had an abortion, to repent. It means if you've begun an abortion, to do the reversal. It means to fight for the lives of the innocent rather than take them out.

Our desire for you is better things than what is offered here at this place that hates women, this place that hates black people, this place of murder that hates children. We want better things for you. there's forgiveness offered in Jesus Christ even for blasphemers and scoffers someone who God's going to wipe your smile off your face one day and cast you into hell we know there's forgiveness for those who mock Jesus at the cross and forgiveness is offered for a short time to scoffers and rude people like you who reject God's word we want you to come to Jesus Christ and be forgiven we love you and we want you to be saved we want you to be saved because you're our neighbor we love our neighbor but you hate your neighbors and you hate God and there's no forgiveness without repentance Jesus Christ forgives all manner sin and unrighteousness, but it's always accompanied by repentance. Nobody can come to God except through Jesus Christ.

There's no access to God through other people. We have these very dear Catholic ladies here who I love very much, and they do not have any access to God through Mary. Mary doesn't hear their prayers, and Jesus hates their prayers to Mary. Which is why I announce the gospel even to them. It pains me to think that the Catholic ladies, the police officer, the escort, and the abortionist will all go to the same hell if they don't repent.

Because God's standard of righteousness is perfection. It's not some sliding scale where if you're just a little better than the next guy, you're going to heaven. God's standard of righteousness is perfection and only Jesus Christ lived the perfect life that God could be pleased with and when Jesus Christ fulfilled his covenant of works with God he earned eternal life for all those who would believe in him Jesus Christ died on the cross a horrible death but what was more horrible than the gruesome and bloody death that he incurred was when he cried out my God my God why have you forsaken me when it was noticed that Jesus Christ the man no longer was in the favor of God as he became sin for us who knew no sin so that all those who believe in Him could become the righteousness of God in Him.

So what we announce to you today is that there is forgiveness. And that forgiveness is required not only for all your sins, but even for your original sin, your very identity with which you were born. It doesn't matter that you were born that way. you're accountable to God for it and you must repent some of us have to repent of even who we very think we are but Jesus Christ promises to give people a new self created in the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness Jesus Christ gives you a clean robe a white robe you can wear he takes off your filthy rags and Jesus clothes you with his own perfect garment so that we may enter into heaven Jesus Christ sits at the right hand of the Father and the Father said all authority in heaven and earth has been given to Jesus Christ Jesus Christ has the authority to save whom he will and Jesus Christ will come again to judge the living and the dead and if your sins have not been judged on that cross Jesus Christ will punish you for your sins if you have not been punished in Jesus Christ when he suffered for sinners God will punish you it will not be some kind of trial where you stand there and make good arguments for why you did the things you did or how you didn't know what was right or wrong exactly when you enter the presence of God his holy law which has always been written on your heart will be so clear to you and you will be aware of your guilt and your mouth will be stopped and God will laugh at your calamity he will take joy and have laughter as he punishes you for your sin because God hates sin God hates sinners he hates all evildoers if you can imagine right now how much you hate me it doesn't even compare to how much God hates you but God in his infinite love sent a savior so that those who hate him could be forgiven God sent a savior into the world so that He could save those whom He even hates, those who have violated His law.

So what we want you to understand is that for God to send His Son into the world to die in the place of sinners is the ultimate act of mercy and grace. What we want you to understand is that God is love. And because of God's love, there's forgiveness. there's forgiveness even for standing outside and getting paid to protect murderers there's no amount of righteous deeds you've done in that uniform with that badge that will earn you favor with God but standing out here in defense of the murderer of the pre-born is more than enough to condemn you forever you took an oath to protect people and instead you protect evildoers and murderers We think of the children that are being murdered inside this place and we call on you to walk away to come around and just talk to us about it even to turn away from the evil you intend to do and do good, to not be a cowardly man, but to stand up for your child and for your woman, to stand in front of God as a man and to do the right thing, we call on you to turn away from this evil place to turn away from the evil you're doing and come talk to us instead of be cowardly and just walk away come back here and talk there's a child being murdered in there and you're a part of it it is time to repent and turn away from the evil you intend to do bringing someone to this evil place to turn away from all of the evil you do and to turn to the God in heaven, to trust that God in heaven knows your heart and He's going to punish you for it.

That's why we're here is to tell people that there's a God and His name is Jesus Christ and He hates sin and He hates evil and He's willing to forgive even scoffers and mockers and all sorts of evildoers. And he's willing to forgive people on the basis of them coming to Jesus Christ in faith. Jesus said you must be born again or you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus said you must be born again or you won't even see the kingdom of heaven. so the reason why we come is to announce that you must be born again that you may tremble in fear before this holy God and cry out to him for mercy to cry out to God for mercy that's why we're here so that people would avoid doing business with murderers so that people would repent of even supporting the murder of the unborn by doing a delivery If somebody was here and wanted to murder you, I would try to stop them. You would want somebody to interpose for you and stand in between you and your prospective murderer. police officers are likely wearing vests to protect you from a gunshot or a knife because you value your life and you know that it's important so what we want is we want to see righteousness done in the land Jesus said blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be satisfied. And yet we're in a righteousness drought.

We live in a desolate land where righteousness is not found. But there is righteousness found when you open the Scripture and you read about Jesus Christ. When you read about the life He led and the things that He said. When you read about His love for the people, His healing, His miracles. and his sacrificial death on behalf of sinners, then you understand what righteousness is.

Then you can understand what it means that scarcely would someone die for a righteous person, let alone for a good person. One might dare to die, but that God shows his love towards sinners and that while they were still sinners, Christ died for them. so we announce to you today that there is forgiveness for sins because God is holy he hates sin but because God is merciful and gracious and slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness he sent his son into the world Jesus Christ born of a virgin conceived of the Holy Ghost in the womb of his mother completely perfect in every way morally upright like man was originally created and yet never stumbled in one point Jesus Christ although tempted never sinned so our announcement today is that you can be forgiven for your sins you can be forgiven for participating in the murder of innocents the murder of children is on your hands the blood of children is on your hands but God rich in mercy because of the great love which he loved his people makes us alive in Christ and it seats us in the heavenly places with Jesus Christ by grace and so the proper response to the preaching of Jesus Christ is to fall to your knees at least figuratively and beg God for mercy to ask this great God if he would have mercy on you, a sinner to beg God to be merciful to you because you have no strength of your own that is the proper response to the preaching of Jesus Christ those who ignore Jesus Christ those who ignore the preaching of Jesus Christ will find themselves one day eternally tormented Tormented in hell because of their sin The righteous of judgment of God being executed upon them. We don't want that for you.

We want you to be forgiven. We want you to glorify God with your life, not with your death. We want you to be a vessel of mercy rather than a vessel of wrath. So we announce to you that Jesus Christ came into the world, healed people, worked miracles, fed thousands of people with very little food, spent His life in prayer and preaching of righteousness. predicted his own death multiple times, and then went to the cross and died, suffering the death that sinners like you and I deserve.

And if you will turn to him today, you can be forgiven, but do not harden your heart. You don't know if you have tomorrow. do not harden your heart as they did in the wilderness and they rebelled against God and they questioned God your proper response to God is to believe him and trust him it is not God's job to convince you that he exists it's not his job to convince you that he's good it is not God's job to convince you that his word is true It is your obligation to believe him because he is who he is. And he is not a liar.

And he has already sent his son into the world and has condescended. And God does not do it twice. He has spoken to us through the prophets and now through his son. And we call on you to run from this evil place. to don't have anything to do with this dark place, to disassociate yourself completely with this den of iniquity and let the only association you have with it be to speak against it or to fight against it.

The murder of human beings is going on right now. as you stand by and casually chat. There is hope in Jesus Christ alone. And that's why we're here, so that you may know that there's hope in Christ. That eternal life is found in Jesus Christ. And only in Jesus Christ. Good.

I think these guys wanted to hear some preaching. Wanted to make sure you guys understood the gospel of Jesus Christ. That sinners who have hopelessly offended a holy God can actually be forgiven of their sins because of God's goodness and grace. We want you to know how that happens. It happens by a fancy theological word called imputation. You see, each and every one of us is a fallen sinner in the eyes of God.

From the moment of your conception, God has actually held you in disdain because of your sinfulness. and he is so pure and so holy that the Bible says he can't even look upon evil. And evil certainly can never be in his presence unless, of course, he's punishing the evildoer. And so you spent your entire life working out this identity you have in our original Father Adam where you hate God and you hate His law so much, and because you're a sinner, the law actually entices you to sin more.

So God's law says that you shall have no other God before Him, and you shall not make for yourself any idol or carved image. You shall not worship anything but Him or serve anything, any false gods, because He's a jealous God who visits. the iniquity on fathers to their children and their children's children. Amen. Amen. And God tells us we shouldn't use His name in vain.

We shouldn't blaspheme His holy name. Thank you. We shouldn't use the name of God in a useless or futile way. You're pro-murder. And you can go to hell with it. We want you to go to heaven. we think of better things for you than to go to hell for your sin.

God told us we should keep holy as Sabbath day. That we should rest. He told us to honor our father and mother. And how many of us can say we've perfectly done that? Nobody. So before you were even adolescent, you had already sinned enough to know that you were guilty before a holy God.

And yet God in his mercy has allowed you to continue to breathe his air while you done nothing but blaspheme his name and disobey your parents and then we get to adulthood and we start to do even more Jesus said, you have heard that it was said, to those of old you shall not murder, and whoever murders will be liable to judgment, and that's true. But then Jesus says that if you've even hated someone in your heart, you're liable to judgment. and whoever insults his brother is liable to the council and anyone who says you fool is liable to the hell of fire. Jesus said you're not supposed to commit adultery but he said anyone who even looks upon a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

So you're an adulterer if you've only watched pornography. and you're a murderer if you've only hated someone God tells us that we're not supposed to bear false witness against our neighbor we're not supposed to take anything that's not ours that includes voting for people just so they'll take other people's things to give to you and God tells us not to covet anything that's not ours. Whether it's somebody else's spouse, whether it's their work, whether it's their stuff, their house, you're not supposed to covet other people's things. That's actually the precursor to every other sin.

You want something that's not yours, so you'll lie and steal to get it, you'll murder to cover it up. you want a woman that's not your wife so you take her you've coveted and committed adultery and yet God even though we've all broken all of these commandments of his has offered salvation in his son Jesus Christ God has offered forgiveness of sins now how do you get forgiveness Some people think, well, if I just ask for it. Try that in a courtroom sometime. If you've done the crime, you've got to do the time.

Awesome. I love it when people want the front row seat. If you deserve the punishment that God has promised for those who have offended His holy law, forgiveness is completely irrational. God can't just let you off the hook. He would be an unrighteous judge if he did that. But God, desiring to be both the just and the justifier of sinners, has made a way that sinners can be forgiven.

If you turn your radio down, you'll be able to hear me better. What God did is he sent his son into the world. Turn it down a little so you can hear. He sent his son Jesus into the world. And Jesus suffered in the place of sinners. what Jesus did was fulfill an eternal plan of God to pay the penalty sinners deserve and live the life that sinners could not live so that God could account other people by faith with his righteousness and account Jesus Christ by faith with your unrighteousness so when Jesus Christ lived the perfect life that was pleasing to God always following God's law, obeying God in every point constantly loving God, constantly in tune with God the Holy Spirit constantly doing everything required by the law Jesus Christ was doing that for the sake of his bride, for the sake of others for the sake of his church the gathering of all the people who would believe in him, those who are born again of his spirit, those who will be adopted into his family, those who will inherit the same inheritance that he has earned.

Jesus Christ did all of that. And when he died on the cross, God executed upon him the wrath that is deserved because of his perfect justice for sinners. so that all those who believe in Him, who look to Jesus Christ, could be forgiven of their sins. And that's what we're here to announce to you today. We want you to know there's forgiveness of sins. You guys have been placed here at this random spot to do this work, and you're getting to hear about the grace of God. don't walk away without believing in Jesus Christ did you get one of my cards here? what's your name?

Kevin, I'm Michael nice to meet you Chaz, Michael, good to meet you it's doing a good job I wouldn't know if you were doing a bad one I guess, but it looks good I'll trust you're on the right track today is a day of what did you say? it's better than when it's freezing I bet yeah so remember this when you leave here Jesus Christ is a great savior and you're a great sinner but he's a greater savior and you are a sinner. And so we call on you to turn, turn from your sin and turn to Jesus Christ. It's called repentance and faith.

To believe that He died in your place and rose again so that you can be resurrected one day. This is our plea to you as your neighbor and your friend, as your fellow man. We want you to receive forgiveness. I'm about done here. Yeah. 12-15.

I've been here an hour. That thing's still going? You guys ready to get going?
