The Gospel – Pastor Voddie Baucham

30 Nov 2023 Michael A

This post contains a 4-minute sermon excerpt of Pastor Voddie Baucham explaining the gospel. I wanted to post it because he actually explains the necessity of the virgin birth, something that I have rarely heard from the pulpit. A very brief post follows the video, it fills in many gaps that Pastor Baucham’s excerpt did not cover. He did start explaining the gospel from the Garden, the fall… but the post says many things about God’s plan of redemption, culminating in the gospel. Together, they provide a very good biblical explanation of God’s plan of redemption.

Grace Alone & Predestination – Pastor Patrick Hines

25 Nov 2023 Michael A

This post contains a 50-minute sermon by Pastor Patrick Hines that focuses on God’s grace in salvation and unconditional election. The chief texts he used were Ephesians 1:36 and Romans 4:14-16. In the course of his sermon, he brought numerous additional texts into play, also a few quotations: one from the work of J Gresham Machen; one from the Westminster Confession of Faith; one from Luther’s works. He clearly identified all the blessings that are found ‘in Christ.’ There are links to other very brief articles to explain: ‘second blessing,’ ‘hidden in Christ,’ and ‘foreknowledge.’ It is an extremely educational sermon for those who have been Christians for a while. Sermon HIGHLIGHTS follow the MP4 sermon which had to be divided to be uploaded

Satan and the Gospel – Kingdom

12 Nov 2023 Michael A

In a war, the truth can determine who wins. In this war against Satan, if we are not clear on what the power of the gospel truly is, we will not be set free by it. Satan has been adding to the gospel for two thousand years, but not lies we would recognize. He adds God’s law into the gospel. Commands we know are good and healthy, but not when it comes to the gospel. Only grace is attached to the gospel, not the law. In This episode, Jon explains how the gospel being confused with the law is a tactic by Satan to confuse and discourage the soldiers of the King.

The Curse Motif of the Atonement – R C Sproul

2 Nov 2023 Michael A

R C’s sermon carefully explained The Day of Atonement; covenant blessings and curses; propitiation; expiation; the cross; imputation; substitution… the foundation stones of the gospel. If you desire to know the biblical gospel message; bolster your own gratitude to the Lord; draw nearer to Him by possessing greater knowledge of Him…, then this sermon can benefit you. If you have been in a false church, this sermon will help you specifically understand what is false about it.

O Sacred Head Now Wounded – Ginger Millermon – Lyrics

1 Nov 2023 Michael A

I found the following song while I was searching the video page of a new YouTube site, StrangeLyrics. I was deeply moved by the lyrics, vocals and guitar; this is a wonderful song for preparing one’s heart to pray and read God’s word. The site has over 350 videos seemingly consisting of hymns and contemporary Christian music. If you like to sing along with Christian music, check out the site.

18 Oct 2023 Michael A

This post contains a 24-minute explanation of God’s righteousness, as is proclaimed in scripture, particularly, Romans. Many professors of Christianity do NOT understand what Pastor Hines explains herein. He focused on Romans 3, but also made some general statements about what is contained in the epistle of Romans. He also used the apostle Paul’s presentation of the gospel in light of a couple of statements from Isaiah and Jeremiah to show that salvation is by grace, not keeping the commandments. Video preceded by overview points.

UNION with CHRIST: Reformation Truths with Michael Reeves

28 Sep 2023 Michael A

In this lesson, Dr. Reeves will examine a doctrine that is sometimes neglected in discussions about Reformation theology: union with Christ. This doctrine is at the very heart of the gospel. When sinners are joined to Jesus Christ, sharing in His death and resurrection, the vast riches of the gospel become theirs.

27 Sep 2023 Michael A

R C Sproul, What is the Gospel? In the process of his sermon to define the gospel message, R C identifies about 10 FALSE ways of proclaiming the gospel that have been used by modern evangelists since the 20th century. Furthermore, he explains the problem of all the versions of the gospel as having to do with an improper attitude towards it, which dishonors its owner, God.

The Background for the Gospel Message – Pastor Patrick Hines – video short

26 Sep 2023 Michael A

The following 1-minute video short was excerpted from a recent podcast by pastor Hines: Romans 1:18-22 – God’s Wrath & Mercy, Man’s Truth Suppression. Herein, pastor Hines explains that the background for the biblical gospel message is God’s wrath against sin. He talked briefly about the ‘Christian Liberal’ message that is devoid of God’s wrath, as contested by J Gresham Machen in the early 20th century via his still very relevant book, Christianity and Liberalism:
