Latest Sermon - "The Great White Throne Judgement" - --
[Video has been added for this Gospel Sermon] A gospel message, about a place called hell, is no longer a popular message today. In fact, within the annals and within the corridors of the church of Jesus Christ, and even in its theological halls and in some of its churches, to mention the word 'hell' brings a frown. The great gospel preacher, Dr. Harry Ironside, on one occasion was taking a mission overseas and when he got off the plane in the airport, at the place where he would take that mission, one of the deacons of the church met him, and he asked Dr. Ironside what he would be preaching on in his time with them. Dr. Ironside said to him, 'Well what would you like me to preach on?', and the deacon said to him, 'Well what about preaching on the love of God?'. Dr. Ironside said, 'Well that's alright, but what text, what passage of scripture would you like me to preach on?'. He said 'Well one that's well known, and one that's probably the best known about the love of God, is John chapter 3 and verse 16, For God so loved the world...'. So Dr. Ironside agreed to it, and on the first night of the mission they were all sitting, the final hymn before the message was sung, and Dr. Ironside rose to the pulpit, opened his Bible at John chapter 3 and began to read. Now before that the deacon had said to him, 'Don't mention hell. Just preach on the love of God, but Dr. Ironside don't mention hell'. So Dr. Ironside got to his feet and he began to read John 3 and 16: 'For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not...', and he turned to the deacon beside him and said, 'What will I tell them now?'...

Through Editor's Eyes: The 1859 Revival In Ireland
As reported by the local press (selected and edited by Samuel Adams)
This book is a chronicle of what the local newspapers reported during the 1859 Revival in Ireland. Here you will read eye-witness accounts of the era, which provide the reader with vivid and detailed accounts of the mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit which brought times of spiritual refreshment in Ireland.
You will read reports of how the great movement resulted in extended prayer gatherings, spontaneous praise meetings, powerful and anointed preaching of God's word which was followed by deep conviction of sin and the conversion of whole families. The observers of this supernatural and sovereign outpouring of God by His Spirit relate how much the revival impacted on the moral and spiritual condition of that time, and how churches which previously had been depleted in numbers were suddenly brimming with worshippers and sinners seeking salvation. A fascinating account of a Revival by those who witnessed the events first hand.
"The revival during 1859 was a remarkable time of spiritual blessing among the people of Ireland, when many thousands came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. The impact was so noticeable that the newspapers began to write in detail , bringing up-to-date news concerning services and how the Lord was working. During the year, many column inches were taken up with news from all across the country. Newspaper editors frequently commented that they could bring only a selection of the news that they received concerning the revival...Surely as we read these accounts of the work of God, our hearts will be stirred up to pray and long for a similar move of the Spirit of God in our own lives and in the lives of all around us" (from the Introduction, by Samuel Adams).
"To read this journal of the 1859 Revival has been both thrilling to my heart and stirring to my soul" - Victor Maxwell
