On Palm Sunday, we commemorate the triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Often, we think about this as a historical event, but I want to ask you to apply these passages to our lives today. In this sermon, we examine Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem, His warning to the Jewish people, His longing to take their children …

Preparing for the Coronavirus
People all over are preparing for the coronavirus. How should we prepare for the coronavirus? If you were to contract the coronavirus and die, would you be prepared to meet your maker? Should we prepare physically for the coronavirus? Should we prepare to turn back to God both individually and nationally? Should we prepare to trust God? Today, we examine these questions and look to the Bible for answers.

Sermon, Should We Celebrate Christmas December 25 Even Though Jesus Probably Wasn’t Born Then?
This time of year, we celebrate the birth of Jesus. It’s common to see Christmas lights and trees. It’s common to see living nativities, but was Jesus really born on Christmas Day? While we can’t really know exactly when Jesus was born, the Bible does give clues that can help us determine when Jesus was …

Sermon, The State of the Union – The State of the Church
Even with the turmoil and confusion that surround our government these days, it would seem that the state (condition) of the Union may well be better than that of the Church. There is such disunity in the Church (the Body of Christ), that it looks nothing like what Christ prayed for, as recorded in the 17th chapter of John. …

Sermon, Our Response to National Disasters Part 2 – When God Allows Creation to Destroy

From raging storms that swept through Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and Tennessee, killing over 300, to flooding in the Midwest, to earthquakes in the West and elsewhere, to wildfires, to hurricanes, to tornadoes, to ice storms, to drought. And this year, we’ve been hit hard with four hurricanes, …

Vote Today & Join Me in Prayer for Our Cities, Counties, State, and Nation
At the founding of this country, it was common for pastors to preach election day sermons lasting as long as three hours. In these sermons, pastors implored their congregations to vote according to Biblical values. John Jay said, “Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as …

Where Do the Candidates Stand on the Sanctity of Human Life?
Where do the candidates in your area stand on the sanctity of human life? In the past, you had to guess. You didn’t really know all the way. In fact, many pro-life and pro-family organizations in their voter guides merely asked: “do you oppose abortion except in the cases of rape, incest, and life of …

Sermon, What Does the Dark Knight Rises Shooting at the Colorado Movie Theater Say about America, Pastor Bryan Longworth, Covenant Tabernacle
As we gather together to worship the Lord, our hearts are saddened by the shooting that happened in Colorado, and I think we must ask ourselves what does The Dark Knight Rises shooting tell us about America? What does this tell us about our country? Where have we gone wrong that a young person can walk into a theater, a bright person, someone that is in a PhD program, can walk into a theater with a bulletproof vest, helmet, gas mask, four weapons, and thousands of rounds of ammunition and kill 12 people and wound dozens of others? Certainly God has some answers for us. We’re going to look to see what the word of God has to say concerting this subject.

The National Day of Prayer Message & Prayer, We Need to Return to God
We need to turn back to God, and you may ask: how do we need to turn back to God? It’s not us that need to turn back to God, it’s all those wicked people out there, but let me tell you something: when the most conservative branch of Christianity only has 9% of its members that have a Biblical worldview, we have a problem in this nation. When the majority of Christians are more likely to be influenced by TV, the news, and movies than they are from the word of God, we have a problem in this nation. When we have pastors that stand up and condone fornication, and adultery, and homosexuality, and perform homosexual marriage ceremonies, and even ordain ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ who are homosexual, something that God says is an abomination, we have a problem in this nation. When we shed the blood of over 55,000,000 preborn children for our convenience, for our figures, for our careers, we have a problem in this nation.
God has called us to be the culture carriers. He has called us to disciple the nations. He has called us to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. He has called us to be the pillar and ground of truth, and we have failed to do this in this nation. In fact, we inherited a nation that was largely
