Sermon of the week: “The Deity of Christ – An Examination of the Verses the Cults Use” by Charlie Campbell.

Your sermon of the week is one that defenders of the faith are going to love. The Deity of Christ – An Examination of the Verses the Cults Use by Charlie Campbell examines the eight most commonly used verses that Jehovah’s Witnesses employ to attack Christ’s deity. Campbell does a fantastic job of presenting the texts as the Jehovah’s Witnesses do (twisted and out of context), then he goes point by point as he dismantles each of their misrepresentations using the light of Scripture.

Sermon of the week: “Why Every Calvinist Should be a Premillennialist” by John MacArthur.

John MacArthur I was tempted to replace the image for this week’s speaker to that of a can of worms. Judging by the title of the sermon, you can imagine why.  Your sermon of the week (in six parts) is Why Every Calvinist Should Be a Premillennialist by John MacArthur.

I expect that this sermon will cause a stir in the comment thread, but based on MacArthur’s teaching in this series (backed up by copious amounts of Scripture), I don’t see how a postmill or amill position can stand. But, with that said, I am anxious to read the comments and will gladly check out any sermons or lectures that our postmill and amill readers wish to link to in an effort to learn more about this intriguing subject that, until just a few years ago, I never knew existed.

Sermon of the week: “What’s In A Name?” by Phil Johnson.

Your sermon of the week is a wonderfully convicting message by Phil Johnson entitled What’s In A Name?

I say “wonderfully convicting” because it really opened my eyes to what it means to “take the Lord’s name in vain” and challenged me to be even more vigilant to keep His name holy and unprofaned.

Warning: Fans (and defenders) of Mark Driscoll will probably not like this message because Johnson doesn’t beat around the bush regarding Driscoll’s mouth.

Jesus Our High Priest – Part 20 (Conclusion)

We are pleased to continue the Saturday Sermon Series again. This is the final (part 20) in a series of twenty messages from John 17. It was sovereignly delivered by Akash Sant Singh, who is one of the elders at Community Bible Church in Reno, Nevada. May it bring conviction to each of us as we realize our deep lack of prayer, which should be elemental to our Christian faith. Sadly, our prayer lives tend to reveal more about our self-sufficiency than of our utter dependency on the Saviour of our souls.

Jesus Our High Priest – Part 20

Sermon of the week: “You Must Attend” by Todd Musser.

Your sermon of the week is a gem by Todd Musser entitled You Must Attend.

This is a great message on the four figures found in Psalm 107: The wanderer, the prisoner, the fool, and the laborer.

Every single one of us falls into one of those four categories and Musser eloquently examines how God reaches each of these people, how each of them responds to God, and how each of them react to His offer of redemption, and all to God’s glory.

You’ll want to take notes on this one and you’ll never just breeze through Psalm 107 again.
