Two Deadly Paths to Hell - Neglect and Religion Without Christ

Wise or Foolish - How God Evaluates Your Life

This sermon contrasts worldly wisdom with God's wisdom, showing that a person can master life on earth and still perish as a fool. The Rich Fool and the Foolish Builder illustrate people who planned well but left God out, suffering eternal ruin. Wisdom is not intelligence or wealth—it is obedience to Christ, the fear of the Lord, and living with eternity in view. Purvis calls believers to examine their foundation, reorder priorities, and build their lives on Jesus, the only safe rock in a world of storms.

Almost, But Lost - The Deadliest Delusion

This sermon exposes the tragedy of being "almost persuaded," like King Agrippa—close to salvation but still outside. Purvis explains that many churchgoing people admire Christ, feel conviction, and know gospel truth but never surrender. Pride, delay, love of sin, fear of cost, and false security keep them near the kingdom but not in it. "Almost" is the most dangerous spiritual condition because it feels safe while leading to eternal loss. The sermon calls for full, immediate surrender rather than emotional interest or good intentions.

He That Winneth Souls Is Wise - The Calling of Every Christian

This sermon emphasizes the supreme importance of soul-winning—the work of bringing people to Christ. Purvis teaches that winning souls requires a burdened heart, Spirit-filled boldness, knowledge of God's Word, and patient perseverance. Satan resists soul-winning fiercely because it rescues people from his kingdom. Purvis challenges believers to see the eternal value of one soul and to dedicate themselves to the Great Commission with renewed urgency and love.

Jehovah-Jireh - Trusting the God Who Provides

This sermon examines Abraham offering Isaac and reveals the nature of the God who provides. Purvis teaches that God tests us to strengthen faith, expose our attachments, and lead us deeper into obedience. Abraham's unwavering trust—believing even in resurrection—shows what faith looks like when circumstances contradict the promise. God's provision was already on the way, arriving at the exact moment of obedience. Purvis urges believers to put everything on the altar, trust God with what they love most, and believe that God is always enough.

How Shall We Escape - The Deadly Sin of Neglect

This sermon shows that the easiest path to hell is neglect—not hatred of God, but delay, excuses, and postponement. The Rich Fool and Felix illustrate how people feel conviction, intend to repent "one day," and then drift into spiritual numbness from which they never return. Neglect treats Christ's sacrifice lightly and ignores God's greatest gift. Purvis calls listeners to recognize the danger of delay, the fading of conviction, and the urgency of responding while God is calling.
