This session examines the historical and biblical significance of the evangelist as a distinct ministry within the church, arguing that this role has been gradually lost due to cultural shifts and negative experiences rather than deliberate rejection. The speaker outlines six key benefits of the evangelist, including providing a fresh voice, creating seasons of concentrated spiritual attention, an...

This sermon examines the urgent shift in Jude's letter from a planned discussion on common salvation to a necessary warning against infiltrators who have breached the church's perimeter. The central message calls believers to earnestly contend for the faith, defined as the unchanging gospel core of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, rather than engaging in debates over secondary traditions...

Following the dictates of the Quran such as 5:51 – "O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and Nasara (Christians) as friends." There's 9:73: "O you prophet, perform jihad against the infidels and the hypocrites, and be harsh with them. And their abode will be hell, and evil is the final place." There's 47:4: "So when you meet those who became infidels, so strike the necks until you have ma...

The crowd crossed the sea to find Jesus, but they came for another free meal, and he called them to labor for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man gives. When they asked what works they must do, Jesus answered that the work of God is to believe in him whom he has sent; the Father gave the manna, and he now gives the true bread from heaven. Jesus is the bread of life, and who...

In this message, taken from Matthew 22:23-33, we learn that the bodily resurrection of every believer is assured based on God's character. We will learn from Jesus' citation of Exodus 3:6, that God's faithfulness ensures every believer will be raised on the last day. We also refute full preterists who, like the Sadducees, deny the future bodily resurrection. Come and hear for yourself why every Ch...

When the Lord Jesus Christ likens His coming to the days of Noah, does He liken it to the ark lifted up, or to the flood that "took them all away" (Matthew 24:39)? Read Matthew 24:44 and ask whether "such an hour as ye think not" (Matthew 24:44) is an hour no man can know, or an hour a man has already decided He will not come. Then ask how long the men outside the ark had watched it built, and wha...

Is the Old Testament primarily about God's law, while the New Testament is primarily about God's grace? Were Old Testament saints saved by obeying God's law, while New Testament saints are saved by faith in Christ? Is the Old Testament only about Israel, while the New Testament is to do with Christ and His church? No to all. Those conclusions, however common, are far too simplistic. "Then beginnin...

"In the Last Days"

Dalton sat before the microphone for this edition of Crosstalk's weekly "Round-Up" broadcast. Here are some highlights: --Republican Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has halted executions through the rest of the year after officials failed to successfully administer two separate doses of the lethal injection to Christa Gail Pike. --An Indian airline captain, who was at the controls of his airliner, was...

~~~~~ No 32 in the series - The Epistles of Peter. ~~~~~ **Considering 2 Peter 3:1-7** This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: ....Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts.....But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved...

Taking a position on truth is pretty unpopular today, but there are still some who have the courage to do it in the public forum. Dr. James White is one of the nation's most active Christian apologists and debaters, having debated atheists, Muslims, etc. over the last twenty years. Here, Kevin Swanson interacts with James on how to engage the battle in the dangerous war of ideas—with meekness and...

This week we come to the end of our short series through the book of Jude. Last week we saw Jude giving believers concise instructions on how to "contend for the faith" by keeping themselves in the love of God. In this week's passage, Jude instructs the church to rescue those who are wavering in their faith by showing them mercy. Jude then concludes the chapter with one of the longest and most bea...

The sermon explores the final words of the Old Testament prophets in Malachi, emphasizing the sufficiency of Scripture and the command to remember the Law of Moses during the period of prophetic silence. It identifies John the Baptist as the fulfillment of the Elijah prophecy, serving as a final call to repentance before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. The message connects th...

An exposition of Chapter 31 of the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession of Faith, addressing what happens to the body and soul at death, the intermediate state, and the bodily resurrection at the last day. The sermon grounds each confessional paragraph in Scripture, distinguishing the condition of the righteous and the wicked after death and articulating the nature of the resurrection body. Main...

Heaven and Hell, they are both very real. Have you heeded the Word of God? If not then Hell is a very real place you will one day see.

This update explores recent scientific discoveries regarding a boat-shaped rock formation on Mount Ararat, suggesting it may be Noah's Ark, and uses this as a catalyst to discuss the theological parallels between the pre-flood era and the present day. It highlights the widespread wickedness, sexual perversion, and biological mixing of kinds described in Genesis 6 as characteristics that are recurr...

This sermon examines the warning in 1 Timothy 4 regarding false teachings that arise in the last days, specifically focusing on the prohibition of marriage and the mandated abstinence from foods. The message argues that such doctrines are demonic in origin because they contradict God's declaration that all creation is good and to be received with thanksgiving. By citing historical examples like th...

Preaching from John 5:19-30, Pastor Rockhill addresses the modern skeptical charge that Jesus never claimed to be God. His central burden is to show that although Christ never uttered the exact words "I am God," both His works and His words plainly reveal His divine nature to any audience familiar with the Old Testament Scriptures. Pastor Rockhill traces how Jesus, having healed on the Sabbath, de...

Psalm 84 Pictures a worshiper longing for the living God, gaining strength on the road to His courts, and choosing one day near Him over a thousand elsewhere. This message considers what God's people receive as they praise Him together and encourage one another through hardship. It also asks whether short-lived pleasures have begun to claim the time and affection that belong to the Lord. Lasting j...

Though the last days can be fearfully dark, they are wonderfully bright because in them God is speaking to us by his Son. The opening verses of the letter to the Hebrews provide us with one of the most splendid testimonies to the glory of the Messiah, the Jesus of whom the writer speaks with such delight and reverence. He is the heir of all things, the agent of creation, the revealer of God, the u...
