People want to be successful. Regardless of the venue or medium, success brings meaning and definition to one's life. The same holds true for the Christian walk and experience. The desire of the Christian should be to live the best life possible through Christ. An attainable goal it is, but it takes work. It does not come without obstacles and oppositions. Therefore, the Christian needs to learn the Fine Arts of Christian Living. There is an art to the Christian life which is attainable through the principles set forth in the Bible. In the pages of this book, we will discuss six areas that ...

A riveting, visceral memoir of a Southern Black man growing up Christian and his journey of faith. Follow the provocative memoir of a Black Christian born in the Deep South during a racially conflicted era in the US—a conflict that still lingers today—and his incredible story of faith, purpose, and spiritual path that spans life and death.

It was the Lord and He said, “Come with me.” I was scared. I was very scared. Most people would be. This was a spirit talking to me and I thought it meant He wanted me to go with Him. “Up where?” I thought. I was only twenty-two-years-old. I could only protect myself with the blanket I had, so I covered myself with it. I pulled it all the way up over my head. But the Lord’s voice kept saying, “Come with me.” His Spirit covered the whole room. His voice was not like the voice of a human. His voice was penetrating and it just kept speaking, penetrating into my mind. It was very ...

I was asked to speak at a men’s conference a few years ago. Initially I had no idea what I would speak about. I knew about King David being a man after God’s heart. I thought that would be a good place to start. As I read the story of David, the shepherd boy who became a king, his heart for God, and his victories as a warrior, inevitably I came to 2 Samuel chapters 11 and 12. I had read this story of David and Bathsheba before, but I had never paid attention to Nathan and how God used him in David’s life. I sensed the Lord leading me to focus on Nathan. The title for my message came ...

GOD’S promises for you Too often, when situations of life push us against the wall, it’s easy to focus on ourselves and our difficulties rather than resting on the unfailing word of God. However, the Bible is replete with diverse promises from God and a reminder that He is faithful. Scripture says in Numbers 23:19, “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not, do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” In other words, nothing can change His promises concerning you. Through this inspiring book, ...

Infinite Grace is a book that explores the power of grace in the Christian faith. It examines the meaning of grace, the grace of God, and the power of grace to transform lives. It also explores how we can live in grace and share grace with others. Ultimately, this book is a reminder that grace is a gift that is available to all, and that it is a powerful force for good in the world. Grace upon grace" is a phrase that appears in the Gospel of John, chapter 1, verse 16. In this verse, John writes, "From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace." Infinite Grace suggests that the ...

Our Messianic Age is the true story of a modern-day spiritual awakening that arises from one man’s exemplary walk with the Lord. Drawing parallels from the messianic age of Jesus and His first followers, the book narrates the life of a humble pastor who is faithful despite severe hardship, and depicts the impact he has upon six young disciples who learn to follow Jesus and become ministers of the gospel in their own right. The story of their collective “messianic age” unfolds from its setting in a small rural community and its leading church, along with the personalities, events, and ...

This message is meant to encourage people to trust God enough to resist the urge for instant gratification, in order to gain better long-term results. Two and a half tribes in Israel asked for their inheritance of land to be given to them on the "other side" of the Jordan, outside the original boundaries of the Promised Land. Was this a request made in faith or in disbelief? The bargain they made with Moses, who was initially suspicious, also represented a "big ask". It challenged their faith, courage, and valor as men of God. This sermon has immediate application to how we live our lives. ...

Standing on the brink of the Promised Land, Moses talks about the time he asked God to let him lead the people in to possess their inheritance. God shut that down in a direct manner. Moses had sinned against God in the wilderness and would not be going in. Instead, his close friend and servant, Joshua, would lead the people into all of that amazing victory. This is a strong message of encouragement for all believers in Christ, exploring interesting ideas and applications, including a discussion of the meta-narrative of the Bible, the over-arching story that God was telling. In light of this...

This Ragtown Pulpit series installment is a sermon on Deuteronomy 1:34-46. The incident of Israel's rebellion at the door of the Promised Land, and the oath of God that doomed that generation to die in the wilderness, is an iconic event. That's an understatement, actually. It becomes the Bible's most oft-repeated warning. Moses retells the story in our text, but that's only the first of several recountings found in both Testaments of the Bible. Pastor Runyan shows how we need to heed the warning right now, as much as any people at any time. Will we be like those whose bodies fell in the ...

Christians often seem to have a weirdly uncomfortable relationship with the thought of obeying God's commandments. They're scared of getting gummed up in "works righteousness" or legalism. This needs to stop. The Gospel will be adorned, not harmed in some way, by Christians who do God's will. Jesus obeyed God completely. Either we're supposed to be like Him, or we're not. This sermon takes the encouraging words of Moses, given to Israel on the verge of crossing into Canaan, and draws out several powerful blessings that God attaches to the covenant faithfulness of His people.

This message is the third in Pastor Runyan's preaching series through the book of Deuteronomy, one more in the Ragtown Pulpit series. This important exhortation will help you avoid the mistake God's people made when they first stood on the banks of the Jordan River. They had all the right facts about the task ahead but failed to evaluate the evidence properly. As a result, they were frozen in fear. They doomed themselves to forty years of wandering in the wilderness. Moses now addresses the same challenge to the next generation, who watched their fathers fall in the desert. Make a sober ...

After returning home from Iraq, I thought the battle was over, but little did I know, it was just beginning. As you hear about all the success and happiness achieved as a Marine, husband, and father, we will explore some of the darkest, most hopeless, and toughest battles I have ever fought with PTSD, addictions, homelessness, and divorce. God's love and grace made what seemed impossible possible. But "Miracles on a Rooftop" is not just a tale of combat and chaos. It is also a story of love, family, and the unwavering bond that sustains us through the darkest of times.
