The Sins You Won’t Give Up – Pastor Tim Conway

9 Sep 2022 Michael A

There are two brief videos in this post, each are sermon excerpts of pastor Tim Conway sermons. The first provides a useful picture of the problem of repentance and the second a graphic depiction of hell. Each will slap you startle you with a dose of biblical reality. We all tend to backslide on occasion, even the great warrior king and poet, David backslid. I believe many Christians are grateful for his failure, as it demonstrated to all who read the Bible that God is merciful and forgiving; and sinners may start walking with God again, even after great failures. The videos provide warnings and encouragement for such as are in need of these.

A Picture Of Repentance – Voddie Baucham Sermon Excerpt

25 Aug 2022 Michael A

This post contains a 14-minute sermon excerpt of Matthew 7:13 and 14 by Voddie Baucham. He describes the narrow gate and hard way very clearly; he also provided a clear biblical picture of repentance. If you were saved via the sinner’s prayer, then you will be shocked. There are a few other pastors in our time that describe these things similarly, John MacArthur and Paul Washer for example. I chose to excerpt this brief section from his 72-minute sermon for that picture of repentance, as I believe it is rarely preached in the church of our day. If you want to understand just what the way of life that Christ described in Matthew 7 looks like, then please listen to this excerpt. The last 3 minutes are a closing prayer. Baucham’s entire sermon is also posted for those who might like to hear it. I listened to it several times over the past week; it is worthy of book marking and returning to until it is digested

How To Share The Gospel With An Atheist – Paul Washer

21 Aug 2022 Michael A

At the 2021 Fellowship Conference, Paul Washer was asked the following question: So I was saved about two years ago from, well, atheism, and I have a pretty atheistic family. And so I’ve been trying to share the gospel with them. Ever since I was saved. And just finally, recently, I’m engaged in a conversation with my sister, and she’s wanting to get into a discussion about evidence and I’m just curious if you guys can touch on should I engage in that or not? [He provided a 6-minute answer that will offer you help if you have unsaved family and friends that you desire to reach.]

Spiritual Depression – By Martyn Lloyd-Jones – Chapter 2 Excerpts, Post 2

11 Aug 2022 Michael A

This post provides excerpts concerning Martyn Lloyd-Jones second principle of chapter two from his book, Spiritual Depression. Recently, I posted excerpts of the first part of that chapter and have decided to provide the latter part also, so that readers might have a fuller taste of this classic book. The words of this post emphasize how God the Father made Christ a propitiation for sin; Jones calls this his second principle of chapter 2. His discussion in this chapter is of necessary prerequisites to knowing spiritual joy…such that one is not depressed spiritually.

Danger! Legalism: The Whole Christ with Sinclair Ferguson

10 Aug 2022 Michael A

Legalism is a problem as old as the garden of Eden. After God told Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the serpent planted doubt in Eve’s mind, resulting in her adding to God’s instruction and twisting His intentions. In this message, Sinclair Ferguson defines legalism and the underlying dangers that accompany a failure to see how God’s law is closely connected to His character. [His clear teaching will give you insight into how you are striving for repentance and obedience.]

Philippians 4:8 Finally, Brethren, Whatsoever things are true…. Alexander MacLaren Commentary

9 Aug 2022 Michael A

This post contains comments from Alexander MacLaren on Philippians 4:8 and 9. I read it this morning after reading through Philippians. I believe that his comments are a prescription for the ailment of backsliding and commented on that while introducing the text. Also, some of his words describe current events which I commented on after MacLaren’s thoughts ended. If you have been struggling in your walk of faith, then you may find some specific direction and motivation herein.

How Is The Lord Jesus Christ Our Kinsman Redeemer?

31 Jul 2022 Michael A

Dr. James Boyce was preaching on the Jubilee year today. As he talked about the various aspects of this topic, he came to discuss the kinsman redeemer. I was familiar with that idea from the book of Ruth; but I did not know that Boaz was a type of Christ. The initial 3 minutes of the following mp4, are about the kinsman redeemer and how it is that the Lord Jesus Christ fulfills that role to us; the other 7 minutes of the sermon include some related material about property…regarding the Jubilee year.

Mercy For Those Who Wander – Jeff Mayfield

29 Jul 2022 Michael A

The following 4-minute video excerpt of a Jeff Mayfield sermon provides much encouragement for backsliders to return to the Lord. You may not view yourself as a backslider, but if you realize that your walk of faith is not what it ought to be, listen and get some encouragement to draw near to the Lord.

How Christ Fulfills The Old Testament Sacrifices OF Leviticus – Dr James Boyce

24 Jul 2022 Michael A

This post contains a 24-minute mp3 sermon by Dr. James Boyce on the Day of Atonement. He makes clear the sacrifices of the Old Testament and shows how Christ fulfilled these. If you aren’t clear on these things, then you will likely glean understanding from his clear exposition of Leviticus 16. His sermon is far more enjoyable to listen to that it is to read through and attempt to understand Lev. 16 on your own.

The Christian’s Struggle with Sin – Jeff Mayfield, Stony Hill Baptist Church

23 Jul 2022 Michael A

I just discovered Dr. Mayfield’s church site on YouTube today and was exploring it when I found this 4-minute video on sin. He apparently closed a sermon with this message. I am posting it because I rarely hear pastors talk about sin as he does in the video. He described what the born-again Christian experience is like.
