    What Will You Do With Jesus - Pilate's Question to All Humanity

    This sermon confronts listeners with the unavoidable question of what they will do with Jesus Christ. Pilate examined Jesus, recognized His innocence, felt conviction, and sought escape from responsibility—but ultimately surrendered to fear and pressure. Purvis shows that many today do the same. Neutrality is impossible; indecision equals rejection. The sermon urges immediate repentance and full surrender to Christ as Savior and Lord, warning that the opportunity will not last forever.

    The Midnight Cry - Are You Ready for the Bridegroom

    Purvis warns that Christ's return—the Midnight Cry—will divide the true from the false among professing believers. Many will be caught unprepared, possessing lamps but no oil. The only true readiness is being born again through the Spirit—be prepared before the door shuts forever.

    Touching Jesus - The Faith That Reaches Through the Crowd

    This sermon examines the desperate woman who pushed through the crowd to touch Jesus and reveals what real faith looks like. Purvis explains that faith is born from hearing about Christ, takes action despite obstacles, and makes personal contact with Him. Jesus responds to such faith with healing, restoration, and peace—far more than the seeker expects. The sermon encourages listeners to press past fear, shame, and hindrances to reach Jesus for salvation, deliverance, or renewal.

    God's Last Call - When the Spirit Stops Striving

    This sermon confronts the sobering truth that God's Spirit does not strive endlessly with a resisting heart. Purvis explains how God calls through Scripture, conscience, preaching, and providence—but how repeated rejection leads to spiritual numbness, loss of conviction, and eventual divine silence. Using both biblical and experiential examples, he warns that the most frightening condition is to feel nothing when God speaks. The sermon urges listeners to respond immediately to God's call before the last invitation passes.

    Multitudes in the Valley of Decision - The Danger of Delay

    This sermon describes the spiritual "valley of decision" as the place where people wrestle with conviction and face the most important choice of their lives. Purvis explains that God Himself brings people to these moments, offering salvation and warning of judgment. Satan resists by urging delay, distraction, and excuses. Purvis stresses that postponing repentance leads to hardening, loss of conviction, and eternal ruin. The message ends with an urgent call to choose Christ now, while God is speaking and the door of mercy is open.

    What Will You Do With Jesus - The Question That Decides Eternity

    This sermon examines Pilate's struggle with the identity of Jesus and applies it to all people today. Pilate knew the truth yet feared public opinion, sought compromise, and tried to avoid making a decision—all leading to the same tragic outcome: rejection. Purvis warns that many today treat Jesus the same way and risk eternal loss. The gospel demands a decisive response—repentance, faith, and full surrender. Neutrality is impossible; eternity hinges on one's response to Christ.

    When God Speaks - The Power and Purpose of the Lord's Voice

    This sermon explores the majesty and urgency of the voice of God. Purvis shows from Psalm 29 that God's voice shakes creation—and that He still speaks today through His Word and His Spirit. The most dangerous spiritual condition is a hardened heart that no longer hears God. Using Samuel as a model listener, Purvis urges believers to respond immediately and humbly whenever God calls. God's voice is a gift that invites repentance, obedience, and blessing; ignoring it leads to silence, judgment, and eternal loss.

    Wise or Foolish - How God Evaluates Your Life

    This sermon contrasts worldly wisdom with God's wisdom, showing that a person can master life on earth and still perish as a fool. The Rich Fool and the Foolish Builder illustrate people who planned well but left God out, suffering eternal ruin. Wisdom is not intelligence or wealth—it is obedience to Christ, the fear of the Lord, and living with eternity in view. Purvis calls believers to examine their foundation, reorder priorities, and build their lives on Jesus, the only safe rock in a world of storms.
