Holiness, by J C Ryle, SIN, Part 2

29 Nov 2021 Michael A

The purpose of this post is to provide a biblical definition of sin. I believe this is important because mainstream Christianity focuses on grace, believing they can ignore the Old Testament, sin, hell-fire preaching…. If you have read through the Bible, then you know that they are making up their way as they go along. They are on the wide road that leads to destruction, according to Jesus in Matthew 7. When Jesus opened His ministry in Matthew 4, His first words were, Repent and believe the gospel. To repent of known sin, one must know how to define it first of all….

[The Basis Of The Christmas Celebration ] God’s Purposes For Jesus’ Incarnation

20 Nov 2021 Michael A

I know many people who celebrate Christmas and love the season…but don’t go to church, read the Bible, believe in Christ; I also know people who adhere to the teachings of other world religions and celebrate Christmas. That is easy in this culture, because Christ has been removed from this celebration which used to bear His name but is called “The holidays” presently. So, this post has two purposes, to enable readers to understand the very reasons of Christ’s incarnation; and to help readers value Christ and being part of His kingdom rather than continuing on in their culturally conditioned oblivion and soul-killing lives.

What Christ Calls His Followers To Do – John Piper

18 Nov 2021 Michael A

What does it mean to “believe” in Christ, to pick up your cross and follow Him? Pastor Piper explains these words biblically. His sermon is extremely valuable because Christian culture gets these things very wrong. This post contains a 12 minute excerpt of his 64 minute sermon; it also contains the entire sermon for those who want to know the foundation he laid before he got to the crux of the text that is stated in excerpt; and the application he proposed after the excerpt. Hopefully, the excerpt will whet your appetite to hear the entire sermon, it is valuable in this time of false gospel messages and short cuts to the Christian life

Jesus Will Never Cast You Out: Jeff Mayfield, Part 6

In the following 4 minute video, Dr. Jeff Mayfield highlights chapter 6 of Dane Ortland’s book, Gentle and Lowly; Mayfield provides numerous examples of why Jesus will not cast out:

Carter Conlon – Is it Time to Run From Your Church? (Sermon Jam)

9 Nov 2021 Michael A

Jeremiah 5:23 The people are revolting and rebellious… They are gone, their heart is not with God; neither do they desire the fear of the Lord… Run from churches in the US and Canada where the Bible is not preached! Run from churches where there is no theology of the cross; no soul-searching word; no repentance of sin; no mention of the blood of Christ that saves! Run from churches where you’re comfortable in your sin – if you go there with sin in your life and do not experience conviction

Leonard Ravenhill – Will You Stay on the Cross? (Sermon Jam)

7 Nov 2021 Michael A

The following 14 minute Leonard Ravenhill sermon excerpt is about the true Christian life wherein one bears his cross, separates from the world, denies himself and follows Christ. A picture of the true Christian life is contrasted with the counterfeit Christian life which most are living. Ravenhill illustrated the process of the true Christian life by talking about wheat being planted, bearing fruit, and harvested. He talked about separation in a very memorable way; his illustrations enable one to see the pain of living that kind of live, that pain would likely only be experienced during the transition from leading a worldly life to leading a godly life and dying to self….

A Better Sacrifice – Pastor Patrick Ramsey

25 Oct 2021 Michael A

In his 24 minute sermon, Pastor Ramsey clarified the great differences between the old covenant and the new covenant. The net result of Jesus’ better sacrifice is that as the mediator of this new covenant His sacrifice is final, complete, effective and powerful. But those words are empty if you have no understanding of the covenants and how they differ; and what blessings the new covenant holds for believers. Please listen and bolster your knowledge of the entire Bible

Only Bad People Can Go To Heaven; That Is, You Must Know You Are A Sinner….

24 Oct 2021 Michael A

The following short sermon was preached today by Alistair Begg; he titled it, The Crown Of Righteousness. I got the above title from a statement he made during the sermon – those words should appeal to people who may believe they are too bad for heaven; that is, they could be helped greatly by hearing what Begg had to say.

The Believer’s Lifelong Battle for Holiness – Dr. John MacArthur

4 Oct 2021 Michael A

The MacArthur sermon in this post is preceded by a list of highlights for those who don’t have 45 minutes to listen. He answered many questions that believers have about what it means to walk in Spirit; about justification, sanctification and salvation. He also delved into pietism and the holiness movement; and legalism; these topics were considered to narrow down the meaning of true walking in the Spirit, as the others are common sideroads. If you are a new Christian, this sermon is worth coming back to many times, bookmark it.

3Gs: Guilt, Grace And Gratitude, by Dr. Patrick Ramsey

6 Sep 2021 Michael A

In case the title of this post doesn’t speak to you, I want to encourage you to listen to the 27 minute sermon herein because it thoroughly explains the relationship between the Passover and the Lord’s Supper, and much more. For example, I had never had a good understanding of what Jesus meant when He said in John 6 – unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. I knew that he was referring to the Lord’s Supper, but there is more than that in His words. This sermon will provide you with a fuller understanding of Jesus’ words; you will also have a greater appreciation of the interrelatedness of the Old and New Testaments and how the blood of the OT passover was looking forward to Jesus’ saving blood….
