Eric Ludy Sermons

This is a message that unlocks the art of praying in a very unique and stirring way. The answer for the Church is not in brainstorming solutions and in novel marketing campaigns—it's in prayer. And prayer is enabled and empowered when one beholds the "face of God." This message is about seeking the face of God as a primary work and not as a last resort.

We are seeing something in our midst at Ellerslie that is extraordinary. And this is the amazing testimony of it. Eric Ludy hosts this unique message as five different men and women from the Ellerslie world rise up to testify of the amazing things happening here in Windsor, Colorado.

December 2nd of the year 1804, an arrogant little man named Napoleon Bonapart ascended to the throne of France. Kings being crowned kings is not an uncommon thing throughout the histories of men, however, at Napoleon's coronation something very unusual happened. Something so bizarre, fantastical, and despicable that it proves an amazing metaphorical picture to help unlock and explain the bizarre, fantastical, and despicable things that happen within our own human souls. And there is one very clear conclusion that can be drawn: no man is great enough, wise enough, or strong enough to sit in the seat of the preeminent. That seat belongs to Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ alone!

Every Christian today seems well groomed in the phrase, "Judge not, lest ye be judged." But Scripture makes it clear that "Judging" (authoritative decision-making based on the Word of God) is a necessary part of a healthy society, business, church, family, and individual life. For instance, if a father doesn't have the ability to bring judgment in his home, his little children will run wild without proper discipline and punishment. There is an arrogant improper way to judge and a humble heavenly way to judge. And it is imperative that the Church of Jesus Christ learn how to judge rightly.

The following quote from Charles Spurgeon should prove sufficient in introducing this moving and inspiring message . . . There is no glory in being a featherbed soldier, a man bedecked with gorgeous medals, but never beautified by a scar, or ennobled by a wound. All that you ever hear of such a soldier is that his spurs jingle on the pavement as he walks. There is no history for this carpet knight. He is just a dandy. He never smelled gunpowder in battle in his life. If he did, he fetched out his cologne to kill the offensive odor. Oh, if we could be wise enough to choose, even were as wise as the Lord Himself, we would choose the troubles which He has appointed to us, and we would not spare ourselves a single pang.

This is a message that is most appropriately listened to while on your face at the feet of your Beloved Jesus. This is the eternal song of the redeemed. It's a song the world deems utter foolishness and extravagant waste. But to those of us that have beheld our Almighty Lord and have had our lips touched with a burning coal from His altar . . . this is the song we are moved to sing, and even delight to sing, no matter what this world may think.

This message pulls no punches, hitting squarely on some of the most touchy subjects in the conservative church. It's Eric Ludy's appeal to a modern church that seems magnetically attracted to controversy and debate in and amongst the Bible believing saints. In the Ellerslie world, every conceivable conservative denominational persuasion is represented, with every vantage point on soteriology, eschatology, baptisms, sabbaths, and the gifts of the Spirit resolutely hosted within our student body. Yikes! And, yes, the opportunity is rife for potential division and contention. And yet, there is a supernatural sense of order and agreement in our midst. There is one mind and one message that rings forth from the students at Ellerslie, causing the lion to lay down with the lamb (or, in our case, the Calvinist to respectfully hold hands with the Arminianist). So what is our message? It's Jesus Christ and Him Crucified!

This message is about the basics that make Christianity really work. In other words, this is basic training. It's no-nonsense Truth applied to the human life so that the human life begins to function as it ought. Eric Ludy has his drill sergeant voice in full gear for this one.

This message is a game changer. It's a poignant look at how the Gospel is meant to be applied to the area of daily work, industry, and diligence. Most modern-day business owners would agree that Christians today are often some of the worst workers. And this very real blind-spot in our spiritual discipleship is crippling our testimony for Jesus Christ in countless ways. It's high time we gain a vision for how our behavior can (and must) begin to match up with our bold belief.
