We consider Stephen Jay Gould's quote and his profession as an Agnostic in light of his position as a premiere "intellectual" and how absurd such a contradiction in terms are. https://bbfohio.com

John chapter 1 verses 6-13. Believers must receive Jesus Christ as the true Light to obtain eternal life. The message presents three primary reasons for this necessity: the true Light was proclaimed by God's faithful witness, John the Baptist; He was identified through His incarnation and creative work; and He is authorized to grant the right to become children of God. The preacher emphasizes that...

A verse-by-verse study through the book of James. How is your prayer life? What are your motives in prayer? Are you praying in the will of God? Or are you asking according to the flesh? Pastor Brian gives a convicting message on the topic of prayer from James Chapter 4.

This sermon explores Psalm 43 as a prayer for vindication and guidance, situating David's distress within the context of exile and opposition from an ungodly nation. The central message emphasizes that while believers may feel forsaken or rejected by God during times of suffering, this perception contradicts the truth of God's sovereign care and the ultimate vindication found in Christ. The text c...

John chapter 1 verses 1-5. This sermon explores the supremacy of Jesus Christ, identified as the Word, by examining three key aspects of His nature found in the prologue of John's Gospel. The central argument asserts that the Word is supreme because He has eternally existed with and as God, refuting heretical views that deny His deity. The message further establishes that the Word is the exclusive...

The sermon centers on the declaration that Jesus Christ is the sole sovereign of the church, drawing a parallel between the historical conviction of the Scottish Covenanters and the theological message of Psalm 72. It highlights the story of Reverend Thomas Hogg, a Covenanter minister imprisoned for his refusal to acknowledge King Charles II as head of the church, to illustrate the cost of confess...

This sermon examines the testimony of Jesus in John 5, where He presents multiple witnesses to His divine identity, including John the Baptist, His miracles, the Father, and the Scriptures. The central argument posits that the rejection of Jesus by religious leaders is not due to a lack of evidence, but rather a deliberate unwillingness to submit to Him. The preacher contrasts the temporary joy of...

In this lecture Jonathan Arnold teaches that the New Testament text must be approached in light of Scripture's Divine inspiration and providential preservation. The Received Text, rooted largely in the Byzantine manuscript tradition and used in Reformation translations, is presented as a faithful witness preserved through the church's continual use. Modern critical texts are challenged for priorit...

The Cost of Grace Jesus did not redeem us so we could keep our old lives—His grace rescues us, owns us, establishes us, and teaches us to live under His rule. The message centers on the truth that the gospel does not merely add Jesus to our lives—it brings us under His light, His rule, and His grace. Drawing from Balaam's prophecy in Numbers 24, Jesus is presented as both the Star who gives light...

Dr. David Brown is Pastor Emeritus of the First Baptist Church in Oak Creek. He has a Master's in Theology and a PhD in History specializing in the history of the English Bible. It is very easy in our society to take what we have for granted. We can go into a dark home and flip a switch and we have light. We need a cool drink of water and turn on the faucet and satisfy our thirst. We go to our tec...

This introductory discussion offers a brief tour through the massive 12-volume Collected Works of Thomas Goodwin (1600–1680), one of the premier theologians and pastors of 17th-century English Puritanism. A leading figure at both the Westminster Assembly and the drafting of the Savoy Declaration, Goodwin combined rigorous Reformed scholasticism with an extraordinarily tender, experiential care for...

WALKING IN REVIVAL The message centers on what it means to walk in revival every day, emphasizing that Jesus does more than save sinners from judgment—He reaches us in our sin, removes us from the throne of our own lives, teaches us His ways, and sends us back into the world as glad-hearted reconcilers. Spiritual growth often comes through "victory by degrees," as God patiently reveals what needs...

Jonah 3:5–10 shows a city that believed a bare word of overthrow, stopped its violence, and was spared. The sermon presses the difference between cheap repentance, true (imperfect) repentance, and the false demand for perfect repentance, and why greater light after Christ makes refusal heavier than Nineveh's or Sodom's. Nineveh heard five Hebrew words of coming ruin and no promise of pardon. From...

The sermon explores Luke 2:32, where Simeon identifies the infant Jesus as a light to the Gentiles and the glory of Israel, challenging the notion that Christianity is a new religion distinct from Jewish expectation. It argues that by nature, all people, whether Jew or Gentile, are in spiritual darkness due to the fall and sin, necessitating the grace of Christ for salvation. The message emphasize...

This message opens a study of Ecclesiastes, written near the end of Solomon's life, a book Kent calls most unusual and often misunderstood. Solomon wants us to understand the obvious: how fast life passes and how we should live in light of it. Kent explains that the Hebrew word hebel means vapor, not "meaningless," and walks through three pictures in Ecclesiastes 1:2–11: our life is like the steam...

I came to the book of Daniel prepared to preach Christ from the heroic prophetic feats of the title character. Surely he is the great type of Christ in his own book! And indeed, as we will see Daniel consistently acts as prophet and priest throughout his time in Babylon, with parallels to the Son of Man that are not to be taken lightly. But in chs. 2 & 4, much to my surprise, I have discovered tha...
