Charles Haddon Spurgeon says that sermons likely to win souls should aid to do the following: 1. Distinctly aimed at the conversion of the hearer.
2. Be a sermon that interests them.
3. It must be instructive having light as well as fire.
4. The people must be impressed by our sermons and impressed upon us first.
5. Take out from our sermons everything that that can likely divert the hearer’s mind from the object we have in view.
6. Sermons full of Christ from beginning to the end are the most likely to be blessed to the conversion of the hearers.
7. Sermons that have been prayed over are most likely to convert people.
Remember participatory proclamation and homiletical musicology!
Introduction
We are in the holiday season of advent celebrating miraculous birth of Christ coming to save the whole world and to demonstrate an humanity that is possible when God is with us.
But when he comes back for the second advent; He will return as Lord and Christ advancing his kingdom and coming for those who have responded to His revelation.
So as children of God we must live our lives expecting his glorious return preparing to meet Him face to face.
In this season we reflect on where we have been and examine where adjustment need to be made in our live to get where we desire to be.
I don’t know about you but I don’t want to make the same mistakes I made in 2017 in 2018, I don’t want to invite the pain or grief I’ve endured this year to show up again.
I want to see better days in my future!
Anybody here with me?
Just wave your hand if you want to see better days in your future.
Help us Lord to see better days!
The book of Revelation helps to provide us clarity about what is to come, but also and most importantly clarity about our exalted Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Prayer of illumination: Father I come in the name of Jesus with a grateful heart this morning, you have proven yourself faithful for another year.
Now Lord as we are at the heels of one year and at the door of another we need word from you this morning.
We need a living word for the moment and season we are in as individuals and a family of believers.

I studied martial arts from my youth earning my first black belt around 13-14 years of age.
I had a dream of opening martial arts school that taught Japanese Karate, Kung Fu, and Tae Kwon Do.
In pursuit of that effort my workout partner and I had a plan; since we both were black belts and instructors of Karate we would learn other forms of martial arts.
We agreed the he would learn Kung Fu, and I would also learn Tae Kwon Do.
I did not realize that this new culture would change me as I desired to master the skills… Part of that change was language and commands.
The master instructor was not Senai, but Sabumnim… We started every workout respecting the flags of both South Korea and the United States, but also to Subumnim.
I wanted to be home, and wished I could click my heels and be out of there, but I had an assignment...
We need be reminded as believers of home and to desire the benefits of home...
