Tuning Our Ears to Hear God Speak 2:08:31

2+ y ago2:08:31

2:08:31

Sermons like these are ubiquitous. They suggest YOU are the reason you can’t hear God. What an impotent God! He has to wait on you to position yourself just right, before He can speak. Sermons like this are damning, especially when God speaks to you in His Word (2 Timothy 3:16). Stick to God’s Word, and stop looking for impressions, movements and s…

Let’s see…there’s the 3 little pigs, 3 blind mice and 3 legged races. There’s even Three’s Company with John Ritter and Mr. and Mrs. Roper. But 3 baptisms? What you talkin’ ’bout Willis? Maybe just maybe there’s only one baptism just like the Nicene Creed teaches and confesses. Give a listen to Pr. Bruss and Kerns and you decide how many baptisms t…

At Thrive Church in Colorado they THRIVE! They do so by preaching God’s Word out of context–over and over and over again. But who cares? People love having their ears tickled (2 Timothy 4:3).

2:24:18

Prs. Bruss and Kerns have eagerly awaited Pr. Farley (affectionately known as, The Twisted Preacher) arriving at 1 Corinthians 10 and 11.

The biblical meaning of righteousness and justification Part 1, with Chris Thomson @ Moore College 47:53

4y ago47:53

47:53

Martin Luther famously wrote about justification by faith: “if this article stands, the church stands; if this article collapses, the church collapses” (Luther’s Works 40/3.352.3). Justification matters. Why? Because it is caught up with our status before God, our assurance of eternal life, and our freedom to live the Christian life in love for oth…

The words of the angel on that first Easter Day, “He has risen! He is not here” (Mark 16:6) are full of comfort and hope.

God’s judgment and compassion in Jeremiah, with Andrew Shead @ Moore College 39:12

4+ y ago39:12

39:12

What does it mean for God to be judge? How does this square with the biblical picture of God as compassionate? Sometimes we can adopt a one-dimensional view of God—a view that assumes that either God is wrathful, or that God is compassionate, but that he cannot be both.

The serious problem of domestic abuse in our community is exacerbated by Covid-19 social isolation restrictions.
