Your sermon of the week is entitled The Charismatic Movement.
A former Charismatic himself, Phil Johnson examines this movement from its recent beginnings (January 1, 1901) to it’s position today in mainstream Christianity. He tactfully, and Scripturally exposes the errors of Charismatic theology (and the damaging effects it has on those who adhere to it) in this message.
If you have any questions about this abhorrent movement, I cannot recommend this message enough.
Your sermon of the week is Why Do We Believe in God? by Don Green. This is a good message for both Believers and non-believers on the reasons Christians believe in God.
This is a two-part sermon examining the five compelling reasons why we should believe and why no one will have an excuse on the final day of judgment.
Creation
Conscience
Canon
Christ
Conversion

If you’re one of those people who think the Apostle Paul’s proclamation of being all things to all people meant “anything goes,” then you desperately need to listen to this message.
This sermon answers all those worldly doctrines built on shifting sand that try to use the excuse that Paul employed examples of Greek culture in his preaching to reach the lost therefore we can employ whatever we deem as relevant (i.e. sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll or whatever other lust of the eyes and lust of the flesh you happen to be engaging in and enjoying).
For all those who live by these erroneous beliefs, I strongly encourage you to take a break from leaving scathing comments on DefCon and listen to Phil Johnson’s apropos sermon: What Was Paul Doing on Mars Hill?
Your sermon of the week is Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered by Russ Sukhia. The sermon overview from Sermon Audio reads:
This Reformation Day sermon, the fourth in a series on Galatians, looks at justification by faith, and endeavors to clearly explain exactly how our redemption is accomplished. This message, which includes a summary of Luther’s life and a fictitious account of a breakfast meeting with Arnold Schwerzenneger and Bill Gates, was well-received. One member said it was ‘the best gospel message I have heard in 40 years as a Christian.’
Your sermon of the week is Gaining the World and Losing Your Children by Paul Washer. It is yet another challenging message directed toward fathers in how they treat their wives and children. When you are done with this sermon I highly encourage you download his message Biblical Manhood Part 1 found on this post.
Your sermon of the week is The Curse Motif of the Atonement by R.C. Sproul. I’ve had this message on my MP3 player for a while now and only got around to listening to it the other day. Wow. I wish I had listened to it earlier.
I’ve never been what you’d call a “fan” of R.C. Sproul, but this message is spot on and powerful. If you only listen to one R.C. Sproul sermon in your whole life, this should be it.
Phil Johnson exposits 1 John 4:19 in your sermon of the week, The Glory of Sovereign Love.
“We love, because He first loved us.”
Johnson provides five points from this passage, all of which attest to the doctrines of grace:
1. The perverseness of our fallen state.
2. The priority of God’s electing choice.
3. The Particularity of God’s saving work.
4. The power of God’s loving deliverance.
5. The perfection of God’s redemption plan.
As a part-two to last week’s sermon, this week John MacArthur follows-up with the Four Marks of a Hell-Bound Man.
Your sermon of the week is Four Marks of the Man of God by John MacArthur. MacArthur explains that a man of God is identified by the following four attributes:
What he flees from.
What he follows after.
What he fights for.
What he’s faithful to.
Yet another fantastic sermon by Don Green. This week DefCon presents both parts of his two-part message on the narrow path spoken of by Jesus in Matthew 7:13-14. This is one of those texts that I never tire of hearing because it is such an essential truth of the Bible so often overlooked and ignored by much of professing Christendom today, but yet so very serious to a man’s soul.
Your sermon of the week is part one and part two of Paul Washer’s message entitled Biblical Manhood. This concludes our four-week series on manhood leading up to Father’s Day.
If you only listen to one message on fatherhood this year, make it this one. I think I’ve certainly saved the best two sermons on fatherhood for last, and I trust that you’ll agree.
We continue with week three of our four-week series on Biblical manhood. This week’s sermon of the week is aptly entitled Biblical Manhood by Voddie Baucham. I trust that you will be blessed, challenged, convicted, and encouraged by both parts one and two.
We continue our series of sermons on manhood (leading up to Father’s Day) with a two-part sermon by Paul Washer entitled The Desire To Be A Godly Man.
For the next few weeks (leading up to Father’s Day) DefCon’s sermon for each week will be directed toward men, husbands, and fathers. We begin with this week’s message by Carey Hardy Men After God’s Own Heart from the 2005 Shepherds’ Conference.
Your sermon of the week is Exposing the Idolatry of Mary Worship: Catholic Dogma by John MacArthur. This is a great examination of the unholy worship of a false goddess advanced by the Romish religious system. You can download both parts below.
Exposing the Idolatry of Mary Worship (Part One)
Exposing the Idolatry of Mary Worship (Part Two)
If you want more information, I recommend listening to anohter of John MacArthur’s sermons on Roman Catholicism found on this post. I also suggest checking out the post It’s All About Mary where I answer the fifteen most commonly heard justifications for the veneration (worship) or Mary.
Your sermon of the week is a fantastic discourse on Jesus’ warning to beware of the wolves among the flock entitled How to Recognize False Teachers. This is a great message from Don Green as he sounds a warning to the flock by alerting us on the recognition of false teachers.
If you think he only deals with the obvious false teachers like Joseph Smith, Charles Taze Russell, Jim Jones, and Benny Hinn, think again! Don Green includes the lukewarm pastors who week after week stand behind their pulpit and tell jokes and quaint little stories at the expense of the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. A collective “ouch” is heard across America.
This is a must-hear sermon for every Christian who is serious about their faith and concerned about false teachers.
John MacArthur completely obliterates the erroneous doctrine of infant baptism in this week’s sermon of the week: A Scriptural Critique of Infant Baptism. This can be considered a follow-up to Coram Deo’s original posting (the transcript of this sermon) found here.
If you are curious about the doctrine of infant baptism: why it’s practiced in so many churches (even in Reformed Churches), and why many others don’t practice it at all, then you must listen to this sermon.
Your sermon of the week is Seeing the Risen Christ by Pastor Jonathan Sims of Shelbyville Mills Baptist Church in Tennessee.
Unlike the unbiblical foolishness masquerading as “Christianity” among the Laodicean landscape this past Resurrection Sunday (e.g. AC/DC Sunday at New Spring) this message by Pastor Sims was all about Christ and Him crucified; true Biblical preaching. This is a message that most of those attending the entertainment-driven churches would turn away from it because it’s too hard (John 6:60-66).
Your sermon of the week is Conquest and Compromise from the book of Judges by Brian Borgman of Grace Community Church. He shows how in the wake of great triumph, the Israelites (much like us with the world and culture we are in) begin “living with” the Caananites and “tolerating” their wicked practices, and soon begin to adopt the Caananite way of life to the detriment of their faith and in open rebellion of God’s clear commands.
For this Wednesday’s sermon of the week you will not receive the usual one sermon, but two! In honor of Resurrection Sunday I have chosen to post the following two powerful messages by C.J. Mahaney on Jesus’ suffering and resurrection.
