Each lectureship had an Open forum.  These were fun parts of the lectureship where anyone could ask a Biblical question and the men in the audience who were usually preachers who had a topic there sometime during the week were there to give an answer.  Lots to be gleaned here and I hope you will listen carefully.  This was recorded on July 14th, 1983.  Hiram Hutto, Gene Frost, Wayne Greeson and ot...

From what I can tell this was prea...

This sermon was preached by Robert Welch sometime in 1...
