INTRO: Our subject is the modern church dilemma. I have recommended that the seven churches of Asia give us a picture of the Church age in 7 stages, and that we are in the last one, the church of Laodicea. In the previous message, we looked at the church that precedes the Laodicean church, which is the church of Philadelphia. Nothing bad was said about that church, and nothing good is said about t...

This sermon examines the call of Levi the tax collector to illustrate that Jesus, the good physician, came specifically to heal those who are spiritually sick rather than those who perceive themselves as righteous.

Our sources for our message today include; 1 Tim 2:1,2, Hos 8:4, and Prov 14:31 Paul urges Timothy to bring attention to his people regarding having concern for their countrymen and civil leadership. We should be concerned, responsible, and good--before God. Does this include voting, or politics?absolutely! As we will see in God's word how believers are to conduct themselves.

Is there anything that can make it seem worth it to me, to do good when I know I might have to suffer for it? Is there any way I can be sure that is the right way to live: to suffer doing good?

Luke ordered his account carefully to ensure our certainty in the things we have been taught concerning Christ. His last scene in Luke 24:50–53 brings his work to a close in the same place where our story began, worshiping in the Lord's temple, yet with an entirely new situation. Darkness is replaced by light, the proud have been brought low, the lowly have been exalted, and the good news of great...

Jesus' funeral at the garden tomb causes the Christian to reflect on two things: our reputation and our end (see Eccl. 7:1–2). Jesus' death gives all his disciples a good name and a glorious end. Pastor Josh mines out the application for both

The sermon explores the theological tension between God's sovereignty and human responsibility, arguing that while God permits sin and sinful events, He is not the author of sin. Through passages in Romans, Job, Acts, and Genesis, the text demonstrates that God can overrule evil for good, as seen in the life of Joseph, while still holding individuals accountable for their actions. The message emph...

This episode examines Chapter 4:1 of the Westminster Confession of Faith, emphasizing that God created the world ex nihilo for the manifestation of His glory, power, and goodness. The speaker argues that the biblical account of creation in six 24-hour days is a non-negotiable tenet of Reformed orthodoxy, citing the Fourth Commandment and the plain meaning of Scripture to refute evolutionary interp...

Sure is used by Paul and Peter in the New Testament and compared to their experience with Christ. The word for simple is actually a word that means an open-gate or door. And the image here is compared to our mind that has an open gate with no filter to keep things out or k...
