An introduction to a sermon series entitled "Preach" and a quick journey through 1st & 2nd Timothy

This is a simple message from First Thessalonians addressing the coming of Christ (most specifically the rapture; phase one of the the second advent).

Just an attempt to whet your appetite for the book of Colossians.

This one is Dave Talley preaching the book of Philippians.

This one is a sermon preached by my (Dave Talley's) youngest son, Elijah Talley. It's his take on the book of Ephesians.

This is sermon number 1 in the series called "God's People" - a series covering Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians Colossians, and Thessalonians.

This is actually a sermon preached by our Chairman of the Deacons, Tony Landers. I'm experimenting with this new format for the podcast in hopes that the space will not go to waste. You could call this PHASE 2 of Grace or Grit. For a variety of reasons I dropped the ball on our old conversational strategy (with Patrick Reed) and I lack the creative juices to figure out how to revive it. BUT, m...

For once, Patrick and I had no script. This is our first recording session in a couple of months, so we're just catching up here; talking about what's going on and what's coming up. Enjoy!

Pretty simple discussion: is "The Israel of God" a spiritual entity, or is it the literal, ethnic, historical, national, geographical Israel of the Old Testament? Listen as Dave and Patrick attempt a clear answer.

Here are some things that commonly impact my (Dave's) sermon prep:  - I have a master plan of ideas. - My motto in preaching is to declare the truth with power, zeal, and affection.   - It has been said that biblical preaching will teach something significant, will be authoritative (coming from Scripture), and will have a hook (it will call people to action).  - I use a dominant text, focus on...

Transgenderism is a hot and divisive topic. In many cases it's even a basic litmus test of fidelity with modern wokeness. But, there are moral and spiritual ramifications. So, where should the Christian stand on this issue. Listen as Dave and Patrick attempt to deal with it with grace, and yes also with some grit. For sure, it is a gritty topic.

It's not exactly fun to think about, but the Bible teaches us that judgment has to begin at the house of the Lord. Listen as Dave and Patrick try to unravel this difficult issue.

Who decides what the church will do when the church comes together for a worship assembly? And, what is the basis or source of the elements that we do include? Are they Biblical, or is it just human tradition that drives us through... The call to worship Some songs Prayer Bible reading Communion Announcements The collection of contributions The sermon The invitation Baptisms ...etc. Additionally,...

Once again, Patrick suggested our topic for today.   To be exact, the suggestion was for us to discuss “God’s providence and specifically how it relates to evil,” which is to answer the question, “Is God responsible for evil?” The verse that comes to my mind in answer to this question is Isaiah 45:7 where God said, “ I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD...

Who wants to listen to a podcast on demonology? Well, like it or not, this is something we need to address. Today I asked ChatGTP the following question: "Where in the Bible is it recorded that Jesus triumphed over all the forces of evil when He died on the cross?" This was the AI's answer: "The Bible records Jesus' triumph over the forces of evil in several passages, but on...

What should we be doing with surplus or disposable income?  Should we be saving/investing for our future; specifically for retirement?  Or, should we instead give our disposable income away?  Perhaps there is a happy medium or golden mean where we properly balance saving and giving? The main focus of this podcast is to focus on what God has to say about giving.  For sure, there...
