This wonderful lady asked me to omit her remarks. To be more specific, salvation is the Divine monergistic work of the Holy Trinity. Salvation comes to others as the Father ‘chooses whom He elects.’ He draws them (gives them) to His Son for redemption (John 6:37-44; 17:2, 6, 9, 24). Christ then redeems them from
Perhaps teaching the ‘Doctrine of Hell’ is as important as the ‘Doctrine of Heaven.’ We must teach the whole counsel of God, and we must never water down the truth. At a recent funeral that I officiated, I was charged with that responsibility. Therefore as I preached, I mentioned “hell” 9 times, God’s “wrath” 9
This same message was preached at two different locations this morning. I spoke about the ‘hope of heaven’ for their parishioners that were saved. While warning that some of their parishioners might not of been saved, that not everyone whom goes to church, or ‘believes’ in Jesus is saved. I preached on what Jesus said
Sadly today in America, the largest gun massacre occurred inside a church, whereas a gunman shot 37 people, killing 27 of them. Ironically it occurred on our ‘National Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church.’ Since the suspect is dead we may never know the true motive. In other words, was this an intended ‘persecution
I spoke about the newsworthy indictments, then preached both the Law and the Gospel, and then opened up for Q&A and prayers. All prayer and private conversations were removed.
SHEEPDOG ALERT: Many ‘orthodox’ scholars have been warning the church of this ‘Young, Restless, & Reformed’ movement. But sadly since Christians live in a fallen world, and are all byproducts of the fallen nature of man, these worldly things will creep into all four corners of every Theological arena. This Young, Restless, & Reformed movement
The outline is as follows. 1. In verses 1-3 the ‘Nations are raging’ (a Theological conspiracy theory) A. The formality of their rebellion (2:1) B. The force of their rebellion (2:2) C. How America has ‘broken her bonds with Christ & cast away the cords’ D. The focus of their rebellion (2:3). 2. In verses
I ‘street preached’ from Revelation 21:7-8. I explained some of the Law, then preached the Gospel, and then opened up for Q&A. All private conversations were removed. UPDATE: Here’s a good article about cellphones in church.
Take note that this preacher gave this sermon in Ireland, where alcohol abuse is prominent. Needless to say, this message was given in a land hostile to this message. But sadly many professing Christians (and some pastors) within America have become hostile towards abstinence, sober mindedness, and sound messages like this. Those of you that
In this passage we teach, learn, or reaffirm (including but not limited to), about the driven, the doomed, and the damned (they are contrary to verses 1-3). We also learn more about Gods judgment, hell, and His wrath. We learn about the incidents of false converts in our congregations, and the ‘unbiblical soteriologies,’ that create
My tongue got tied a few times, but I trust the Lord will use this. This group was respectful and responsive. Some Christians later rejoiced, many others asked for prayer (video upper left corner), and some asked questions. All private conversations were removed.
As I prepared for this expository study (other than one scholar), I studied under the teachings of scholars from the 1400’s up to the 1800’s. Therefore, this teaching will not be ‘watered down’ with contemporary fruffles. We will learn of the dangers of ‘walking’ with non-saved ‘friends.’ We will also learn how to ‘Biblically’ love
