Five Degrees of Fatherly Love
God’s great work in our lives is to rescue us from eternal punishment. His mercy, forgiveness, and salvation are an incredible reality for the Christian. Yet He is not content to merely rescue us—God is desirous to shape us ever more into the likeness of Jesus Christ. His life is to be our life. His character, mind, attitude, focus, purity, and joy is to be the same within us. This ever progressing work of sanctification is a necessary part of the Christian life. Sanctification is not about “arriving” or “Christian perfectionism,” rather it is the process of allowing the Holy Spirit to remove anything and everything within our lives that is unholy, impure, and unlike Himself. In this sermon about God’s work of sanctification within our lives, Eric Ludy explains that God loves us too much to leave us the way He found us. Discover the five degrees of sanctification that God is anxious to work within your life.

The Devil's Business
“Now the works of the flesh are evident,” declares Paul in Galatians 5. And interestingly of the seventeen fleshly works, seven of them deal with the issue of strife, contention, and division. As Christians we might mentally agree that such things should not be within the body of Christ, and yet it is often these issues that we allow to run rampant within the Church and our lives. In this illuminating sermon on one of the hidden issues within the Church, Pastor Eric Ludy explains why we must understand jurisdiction and be willing to allow the Spirit of God to do a work within us and the Church. Jesus Christ must become evident in all our interactions, words, and motives. If you or your church struggle with pride, criticism, accusation, revelry, hatred, resentment, jealousy, strife, or division, this sermon will cast a vision of what our lives and the Church is to look like.

The Amen Life
The Hebrew word “Amen” means far more than a closing statement at the end of a prayer. Contained within this short word is a confidence in the faithfulness, the truth, and the surety of God Himself. He is the Amen God and calls us to amen lives—lives marked by integrity without duplicity or doubt. Using the fickleness of our modern age as a backdrop, Eric Ludy explains the amen life and provides a test to see if we live fickle or amen lives. While this message is guaranteed to convict and bring to light hidden areas that we often overlook as trivial, it also has the potential to radically change your life as the Spirit of God uses the message and questions to bring you to a place of radical-blazing integrity.

Spirit of the Age
Eric Ludy defines the “Spirit of the Age” as the current reigning behavior, compulsion, and attitude of the world’s system. It is living according to the course, the pattern, the mindset of the world rather than living Biblically, according to the nature and mindset of God. Though this “spirit of the age” has permeated every generation, it appears to be invading the modern Church at ever increasing rates. In this powerful and convicting sermon, Pastor Ludy uses the story of Absalom in the Old Testament to showcase what happens when we justify our sin and allow it to remain in our lives. This is a sermon for everyone who is concerned for where the Church is heading as well as for those struggling with personal sin.

The Gospel Delivery - Part 2
In the previous sermon The Gospel Delivery – Part One, Pastor Eric Ludy shared the ten “P’s” of Gospelteering and what it means to aggressively sow, relentlessly love, and boldly reap in sharing the Gospel. In this second sermon on the same topic, Pastor Ludy helps you share the Good News of the Gospel by providing ten questions to ask when you deal with someone’s soul. These questions will help you understand where a person is spiritually and how to lead them from death unto life. As a Christian it’s important to remember that we are not the ones who save a soul, Christ alone is, but we are used as a mouthpiece by the Holy Spirit to declare the way of salvation. For those who have struggled with the practical aspect of evangelism, this sermon will be a great help to you.

The Fearlessly Happy
The American nation has shifted over the last several years to what could be called a post-Christian or anti-Christian culture. No longer do we reason from moral ethics, a Biblical framework, or a Gospel worldview. And while many Christians have lived in similar cultures throughout history, how do we as American Christians respond to the events unfolding around us? In this sermon, Pastor Eric Ludy reminds us of our position in Christ and gives eight principles of the fearlessly happy believer. If you are concerned for the nation, have been fretting or anxious over current events, or have wondered how to respond, you need to listen to these eight reminders.

The Gospel Delivery
As Christians we know we should be a witness and share the Gospel with the people around us; however, many of us also have a tremendous fear in doing so. Regardless of our insecurities or lack of training, do we agonize over the fact that our lives are barren and lack spiritual fruit? Every Christian is called to be a true Gospelteer and we must allow the Spirit of God to transform us into willing vessels that He can use to share Truth with the world. In this much needed message, Pastor Eric Ludy talks about the ten “P’s” of Gospelteering and what it means to aggressively sow, relentlessly love, and boldly reap in this Gospel Pursuit. You have a call upon your life to proclaim the Gospel, will you listen and obey?

The Gospel Athlete
Exercise, though uncomfortable and painful, is good and needful in the human life. Yet Paul tells Timothy that bodily exercise profits little in comparison to exercising godliness which is profitable for all things. In this ongoing series about the praying and confession Church, Eric Ludy expounds upon the difference between the sluggard and the Gospel Athlete. Too often in the Christian life we embrace laziness, hitting the snooze button of our soul. But Christians are called to action and must be trained athletes, ready for any situation. We must not merely flex in front of a mirror but prepare ourselves for the spiritual battle that lies before us. If you have ever wanted a bootcamp sergeant to yell at your soul to tell you to embrace spiritual exercise, this sermon is for you.

Relentless Love
The North American Church is dying and dwindling. We are inclined toward comfort, ease, and self-satisfaction. We presume that someone else is accomplishing the very thing we are called to do—speaking truth and proclaiming the Gospel to the lost. In short we are passive; which is the exact opposite of what the early church was. In this powerful, hold-nothing-back sermon by Eric Ludy, you will hear the battle cry for the Church to return to relentless Christianity. A Christianity where Christians are in fact…Christians. Our mission is relentless love. Are you willing to say yes to the Great Commission and boldly go into all the world in pursuit of lost souls?

The Gospel Challenge
As Christians we are called to preach the Good News. We are not to quietly sit indifferent upon the sidelines but rather have a heart for the lost and a willingness to share the Gospel with everyone we meet. Yet for many of us we lack confidence, courage, boldness, and power. In short, we need unction. “Without this unction,” writes E.M. Bounds, “there are no true spiritual results accomplished.” In this sermon, Eric Ludy explains what unction is and why it’s absolutely essential in the life of a believer. If you are lacking power in your Christian life or if you need an infusion of boldness in sharing the Gospel, this stirring sermon is for you.

The Power of Tears
Throughout history there have been two churches: the silent church and the confessing church. To become the confessing Church we must live, move, speak, and come in perfect alignment with the Word of God—which means, in part, that we must be willing to receive the heart, anguish, and Gethsemane of Jesus Christ. In this sermon, Eric Ludy discusses Pentecost, a dead bunny, the loss of a dinosaur, and the need for tears in the Church. You will discover that to be confessors we must have substance and action in our Christian lives rather than religious deadness. Are you willing for your eyes to be opened and for God to show you that which grieves his heart? Tears are powerful, and God desires to use them for His glory.

The Sin of Silence
In WWII, there were two distinct churches within Germany, the Church that went silent and the Praying Confessing Church. Interestingly, these are the same two churches within every generation. In the height of persecution will we go silent or stand boldly? Using WWII as the backdrop for this sermon, Pastor Eric Ludy commissions the Church to not be silent but rather do something. Our modern age is aggressively becoming anti-Christian and every believer must make a choice of where to stand. Will you grow silent and sign upon the dotted line of the culture or will you stand for truth, becoming a part of the Praying Confessing Church?

The Stigma
We live in a culture that consistently strives to be cool. How we dress, talk, and behave is often a result of trying to fit in and exude an attitude of coolness. As Christians we must make a choice of whether we want to be cool in the eyes of the world or burn with passion for Christ, for we can’t do both. In this convicting message, Pastor Eric Ludy declares that to side with Christ is to wear a brand of foolishness upon us. It’s time we make a decision—are we willing to bear the stigma of Christ?

Food for Thought
We live in a time when anything and everything has access to our minds. There is often no boundary or guard and thus we lack purity of heart and mind. Beginning with what the world declares as two of its greatest ideas, Eric Ludy shows the difference between an evolutionary or freudian thought process and what the Word of God says. We all consume food for our minds, the question is what type and quality we allow access into our lives? Scripture commands us to be and think pure—if you’ve ever struggled with purity or have noticed your mind thinking from a worldly perspective, this sermon is for you.

The Bowl of Peanuts
History is an excellent teacher and this sermon by Eric Ludy weaves Scriptural truth with historical narrative to explain how faith is to function. Cotton fields, the boll weevil, and a bowl of peanuts come together from America’s past to illustrate the biblical idea of grace and the difference between the work of the law and the work of faith in our lives. If you’ve had a hard time understanding faith, this sermon will explain it in a simple and straightforward manner that will leave you knowing how the Christian life is to properly function.

The Stinking Fish
Most of us can recount the story of Jonah, but few of us have spent the necessary time to dive deeply into its message. In what was the greatest recorded revival in Scripture, with an unlikely messenger from a small town in Northern Israel, and a “sign” that later is fulfilled in the New Testament, the book of Jonah is a powerful picture of God’s grace and redemption. Going beyond the book of Jonah into the New Testament, Eric Ludy delivers this unique but stirring Resurrection Sunday message about a stinking fish and the great fish-master from Galilee. Listen to this message, you’ll never again look at the story of Jonah the same.

Three Days
Three days isn’t a long period of time—but when you face challenges, difficulties, and circumstances, and God appears to be silent, three days feels like an eternity. Throughout Scripture, there are several accounts of people facing a “three-day test.” In this message, Eric Ludy examines seven different stories throughout Scripture of people who dealt with a three-day trial and were triumphant afterward. This powerful meditation leads you to the climatic moment of Jesus’ death and the three days He was in the tomb before the greatest triumph in history: the resurrection of Christ. If you have ever felt God was silent or thought you were facing a “three-day test,” this message is for you.

Series - The Bewildering Death - Part 2 of 2

The Old Testament is in the New revealed.” This phrase from Christian history emphasizes the powerful reality that all throughout the Old Testament the truth of Jesus, the cross, and the Gospel can be found. Similarly, the New Testament takes what God started in the Old and gives the deeper revelation of what the Old was actually pointing toward. In The Bewildering Death, Eric Ludy unpacks ten strange foreshadows from the Old Testament and talks about how they were understood but then reveals how they point to and become fulfilled in the life and death of Christ Jesus. If you desire to gain a deeper understanding and love of the Old Testament, this message will leave you excited and expectant to study all of Scripture.

The Marvel of the Mundane - Part 2 of 2
A 2 Part Sermon Series As Christians, we should desire for God to move mightily and showcase Himself in and through our lives, yet we often overlook the work of God in the mundane. What may appear to be unimpressive, ordinary, and simple moments of life are actually opportunities for God to demonstrate and glorify Himself. In this message entitled The Marvel of the Mundane, Eric Ludy shows the difference between the “wow” and the “mundane” and how God is actively involved in both. Pastor Ludy gives seven principles of Heaven’s work and argues that God’s return of power hinges upon our readiness to allow the mundane aspects of life to declare God’s glory.

A More Excellent Way
The Old Testament Law was given as a forerunner to reveal the coming Messiah. It was given as a school teacher to reveal our need and lead us toward a greater focus: Jesus Christ. Paul declares in 1 Corinthians that what Jesus accomplished, purchased, and provided supersedes and is superior to the Old Testament Law. All throughout the New Testament we discover that Christians are no longer bound to the Mosaic Law but rather bound to Christ (a higher Law). The hallmark of Christianity is not circumcision or adhering to the Mosaic Law, instead we are defined by love. In this message, Pastor Eric Ludy gives an in-depth study on the difference between law and love and why Jesus is the more excellent way.

Series - The New Creation - Part 2 of 2
A 2 Part Sermon Series In 2 Corinthians 5:17, Paul declares: “if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” What does it mean to leave the old and live within the new? In this two-part message by Eric Ludy, the difference between the old creature and the new creature is examined. The triumphant reality of the Cross of Christ is that as Christians we have a whole new anatomy. We have a brand new heart, mind, ears, eyes, nose, and tongue— altering how we think, live, and talk. Some believers want the new heart and mind but wish to leave the new tongue behind; others put emphasis on tongues but forget about the rest of body. As Christians, we are new creatures, where every part of us is transformed ever more into the likeness of Jesus Christ. If you have struggled with what it means to be a new creature in Christ—in every part of your life—this sermon is for you.

Series - 44 Happily-Ever-After Lane - Part 2 of 2
A 2 Part Sermon Series There is a piece of property that every Christian longs to live at: 44 Happily-Ever-After Lane. This historic property contains the most beautiful and peaceful setting anyone could ever wish to live; and yet it is the place of suffering, difficulty, and war. Sounds like quite the contradiction doesn’t it? In this whimsical and powerful two-part message, Eric Ludy talks about the life of a Christian, the benefits and difficulties that come with it, and the desperate need for forgiveness in our lives. When 44 Happily-Ever-After Lane is riddled with unforgiveness, it can no longer be the beautiful estate God desires us to live in. If you find forgiveness difficult, this sermon will unveil the power to do the impossible.

A Pastor’s Dilemma
There are certain passages in Scripture that prove difficult for most pastors and teachers. The book of 1 Corinthians is no exception. Paul’s epistle often becomes divisive in the areas of liberty, law, marriage, prophecy, women’s role within the church, head coverings, and speaking in tongues. What are we as believers to do with such passages. In this revealing study on First Corinthians, Pastor Eric Ludy tackles these subjects and talks about the key to unlocking and understanding the text.

My Dear Friend Irritation - Part 2 of 2
A 2 Part Sermon Series Let’s be honest – we live in a world where there are endless baits for irritation, frustration, and anger. We try to keep ourselves in check, but far too often we allow these snares to slip in and destroy our lives, relationships, and intimacy with God. In this two-part message, Eric Ludy asserts that irritation is actually good, but it is how irritation is handled which determines if it will be used by the enemy to destroy or by God to build us stronger. Not only does this message give you the secret to handling irritation, it also introduces you to a team of spiritual special forces which will enable you to handle pain, irritation, and frustration. If you’ve ever found yourself acting as a cranky conservative, allow God to use this message to transform you into kindly Christian.

Series - Gospel Empowered - Part 2 of 2

Series - Ruddy for War - Part 2 of 2
A 2 Part Sermon Series “Novice” is not a term we naturally gravitate toward in describing ourselves. We prefer “mature,” “experienced,” or “diligent”—just not novice. However, to become a great leader, a novice needs a proving season—a time of preparation, training, and transformation. Using David, the shepherd boy turned king, as an example, this sermon series examines how God prepares and trains Christians for leadership and how it all starts with being a novice. In this sermon, Eric Ludy encourages future leaders with four restraints and four key principles for leadership. You will discover that God delights to use humble, faithful, and child-like men and women to accomplish His purposes.

Generosity
Scripture is forthright in telling us that generosity is central to the Christian life. Far more than just giving money, generosity is to declare and evidence the Gospel within our lives.

If you usually cringe when the topic of giving is mentioned, this sermon will provide a fresh perspective and encouragement for how you are to handle every area of your life. And be forewarned, there is a “hilarious” pop-quiz found herein.

Series - The Praying Church - Part 2 of 2
A 2 Part Sermon Series What is prayer? Sure, we can give a quick answer from what we learned in Sunday school, but how is saying a quick blessing before our meals different than God-honoring, heaven-shaking, earth-changing prayer? As Christians we too often glide through our day without thinking about the tremendous opportunity and command we have to pray. So what is prayer? In this two part series, Pastor Eric Ludy shares what prayer is and how we can change the world upon our knees. This isn’t some lip service we give God before bed but audacious asking to the One who intercedes on our behalf. It is as much knowing Whom we pray to as it is what we ask for. If you are looking for a greater passion in your prayer life, this sermon series is for you.

Series - Canon - Part 3 of 3
