Baptists on SermonAudio

The sermon exhorts believers to flee idolatry by recognizing the spiritual reality behind pagan practices and avoiding any participation with demons. It contrasts the Lord's table, which signifies communion with Christ and unity among believers, with the table of demons, warning that Christians cannot partake of both. The preacher addresses modern forms of functional materialism and occult dabbling, such as astrology or energy work, asserting that these are active engagements with evil rather than neutral activities. Emphasizing God's jealousy for His people's exclusive devotion, the message calls for holy separation and sanctification through reliance on Christ alone. Ultimately, believers are urged to reject all rival sources of power and guidance in favor of the ordinary means of grace provided by God.

Members of the church in Thessalonica were troubled at the thought of the 2nd Coming. They wondered what would happen to those who were already dead. Would they be resurrected? Paul discusses the Day of the Lord with the church. He taught them things to be aware of concerning the second coming. We discuss that today in our sermon.

Within dispensationalism, there are standard hermeneutical principles that on the surface sound reasonable. But when taken to their logical conclusions, many of these principles actually stand in the way of understanding the mind of God and often introduce significant error. We firmly believe that the heresy caused by dispensational hermeneutics is part of Satan's attack on the church and is used to veil the truth of God's word. We believe that its true intent is to focus the people of God on fleshly pursuits rather than seeing and fearing the invisible God who works all things to his will.Please join us as we discuss this serious issue.
