The smallest words can be the most important ones. All scripture is inspired of God and represents the words the Spirit guided the apostles to write to communicate the mind of God to us. This fact makes each word significant. This is especially true in regard to the propositions chosen by the Spirit of God to describe the relationships of men and women to Christ Jesus. Even two letters can make the difference of how our life here is lived and where we will spend eternity. Which ones describe your present relationship to Him? In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we learn about some of the Prepositions of Christ.
Excuses, Excuses
Real reasons or empty excuses? One of the oldest habits of mankind is to justify decisions and actions that would otherwise meet with disapproval. Jesus knew that His kingdom offer would be met with rejection and illustrated the fact with a story about people who were invited to a great supper. Their cold rejection of the gracious invitation was softened by the excuses they all began to make. The master’s response was a warning to all who make excuses for not doing the will of God even today.
Bold as a Lion
Evangelist Brett Hickey uses Proverbs 28:1 as a springboard to emphasize the necessity of courage in the life of the Christian in a sermon titled “Bold as a Lion.”
Reconciled To God
Many have suggested that every Christian is an ambassador of Jesus Christ and represents the Lord before the unbelieving world. The Apostle Paul had something else in mind when he said to the Corinthian church that “ambassadors for Christ” were entrusted with the “ministry of reconciliation.” In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we learn the significance of both phrases and how they actually relate to we who were lost in our sins.
The Forbidden Chapter
Imagine your congregation working its way chapter by chapter through a particular book of the Bible only to have the church intentionally skip over a chapter. A major religious group does this on purpose. Watch Let the Bible Speak as evangelist Brett Hickey presents a sermon titled, The Forbidden Chapter.
Did Peter And Paul Preach Different Gospels?
The great Apostle Paul was a pillar in the church throughout the Greek world. This ambassador of King Jesus was dispatched to carry the message of the Heavenly Monarch to the Gentile nations. Was the gospel he was entrusted with different from that of Peter and the other apostles who were there when the gospel was first preached to the Jews on the Day of Pentecost? Some allege that Peter was given the gospel of repentance and submission to the Lordship of Christ, whereas Paul was given the gospel of grace and that modern Christians should look to Paul and not Peter for instruction. In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak we ask did Peter and Paul preach different gospels?
The Prophet Isaiah
I’m surprised to hear professing Christians say that we need not teach from the Old Testament. The Old Testament holds the keys to understanding the New Testament. Watch Let the Bible Speak as evangelist Brett Hickey presents a sermon titled, The Prophet Isaiah.
Then God Remembered
When Noah and his small family found themselves floating over the deep in the ark, they were alone in the world. God had wiped away the former civilization and its impenitent wickedness. The bible says, “Then God remembered Noah…” This serves as a wonderful reminder to the people of God that God does not forget His own. This phrase is similarly used in other places in scripture and usually brings comfort and assurance to the confused, anxious, and suffering. It also stands as a warning to others. In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we talk about the infinite memory of God.
The People of the Book
Recent surveys reveal that 88% of American homes have a copy of the Bible. People have some respect for the Bible, but how many people take its teachings to heart? Watch Let The Bible Speak as evangelist Brett Hickey presents a sermon titled “The People of the Book.”
