Major public figures insist that the greatest crisis facing our country is climate change. What would Jesus say? Watch Let The Bible Speak as evangelist Brett Hickey makes a modern application of Jesus’ words, “Do Not Despise the Little Ones.”
Strange Times – Part 3
A failed family; a compromised preacher; and now a wayward tribe. In the Book of Judges, the phrase “every man did what was right in his own eyes” describes the chaotic and morally ambiguous period in Israel’s history when there was no central leadership, leading people to follow their own desires rather than God’s law. This lack of guidance influenced the tribe of Dan as they sought land and encountered Laish, a peaceful and isolated city. Rather than seeking God’s will, the Danites acted out of self-interest, attacking and taking over Laish for themselves. They also adopted idolatrous practices, bringing a graven image from Micah’s house and setting up their own priesthood. In the last part of our series “Strange Times”, we see how disregarding God’s law led to moral compromise and the adoption of false worship, undermining Israel’s covenantal identity.
Reasonable Faith
Being a Christian means more than clinging to beliefs without evidence. Watch Let the Bible Speak as Aubrey Ballard presents a sermon titled, Reasonable Faith.
Strange Times – Part 2
In the story of Micah and a young Levite in the Book of Judges, the spiritual decay of a family is validated by a compromised and corrupted religious leader. In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we continue our series “Strange Times” by seeing the consequences of spiritual leaders not standing up and speaking out against sin and error.
Monster in my Mouth
Christians agree on the importance of morals and doctrine, but may allow Satan to trip them up in other, more subtle ways. Evangelist Brett Hickey presents a gospel sermon titled, The Monster in My Mouth.
Holy Living
Being a Christian means more than being nice. Watch Let the Bible Speak as Noah Howard presents a sermon titled, Living Holy.
Strange Times – Part 1
What happens to a society when there is no universal standard of authority and conduct? It may sound appealing for every person to determine their own “truth”, live by their own morality, and believe and worship according to their own theology, but ancient Israel in the era of the judges illustrates, that this led to chaos. It is no different in our own times. The book of Judges relays some head-scratching stories that played out in the lives of God’s own people during this time when “every man did what was right in his own eyes.” In the story of a man named Micah, we see how this philosophy led to a spiritual breakdown in the home that then reverberated to every other sector of their society.
A Prayer for Understanding
Prayer is vital in our relationship with our Father in Heaven. The disciples knew this and asked Jesus how to pray. Jesus gives them an example, not a prayer to recite, but an example:
Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Matthew 6:9-13
A Four-Part Study of Proverbs 3:1-12
In May of 2022, our evangelist David Peake was invited to hold a three-day Gospel Meeting in Hillsboro, OR. These were the four messages (click the link or scroll down for the videos):
The Flesh vs The Spirit
When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
Mark 8:34-38
When we read Jesus’ unambiguous language — His direct assertions — we find a binary choice (this or that) amd it may seem that following Him will be easy. How could it not — it is a simple choice, right?
