Homeless
1MAT 7:24LUK 9:58JHN 1:112CO 8:9HEB 13:2Ingimar De Ridder preaches about the homelessness of Jesus, emphasizing how He identified with the lost and rejected by being born in a stable, seeking shelter as a refugee, and sleeping under the canopy of heaven. Through Christ's homelessness, we learn the importance of hospitality, love, and recognizing that this world is not our permanent home but a pilgrimage towards eternity. The sermon highlights the significance of dedicating our homes to God, welcoming Jesus in, and building a solid foundation of faith to avoid being spiritually homeless.
Let My People Go!
1EXO 8:25Ingimar De Ridder preaches on the parallels between Pharaoh's resistance to letting the Israelites go and Satan's attempts to hinder believers from fully embracing God's plan for salvation. Just as Pharaoh offered alternative proposals to Moses, Satan tempts us to settle for less than full salvation by suggesting we stay in a worldly mindset, not go too far in our faith, keep our beliefs private, or pursue salvation without sacrificial service. The sermon emphasizes the importance of forsaking worldly ways, fully committing to the journey of salvation, not compromising our faith, going all the way with God, involving our families in our spiritual journey, and understanding that true faith requires sacrifice and service.
Sense and Nonsense

He highlights the importance of coming to our senses spiritually, being sensitive to God's presence and purposes, and not letting Jesus pass by without giving Him an audience. Faith is born when we hear God's Word before we see, and following Jesus is the only sensible choice.
Can You Hear Me Now?
01SA 28:6PSA 66:18ISA 59:1LUK 23:9Ingimar De Ridder preaches on the profound impact of God's silence in 1 Samuel 28:6, highlighting the desperation and emptiness that comes when we cannot hear from God. He emphasizes the danger of sin hindering our communication with God, leading to a heartbreaking separation and silence from the Lord. Drawing parallels to Saul's experience, he warns against the tragedy of God speaking to us, yet we fail to listen, stressing the importance of being attentive to God's voice in both the Old and New Testaments.
Tongues
0PRO 17:20MAT 12:341CO 10:13EPH 4:29JAS 3:6Ingimar De Ridder preaches about the destructive power of the tongue within the church, emphasizing the need to guard against gossip, lies, and evil speaking that can lead to division and ruin. He warns about the range of influence the tongue has, comparing it to a pebble causing ripples in a pond, and shares examples of how innocent words can have evil intentions. De Ridder highlights the importance of preventing 'religious forest fires' caused by tongues on fire through avoiding gossip, complaining, and flattery, and encourages believers to keep their mouths closed if they cannot tame their tongues.
