C. S. Lewis on SermonAudio

The sermon presents Psalm 1 and Psalm 2 as the prologue to the entire Book of Psalms, framing the collection as inherently Messianic rather than merely historical or devotional. It argues that Psalm 1's depiction of the perfectly blessed man—whose life is rooted in God's law and yields lasting fruit—sets an unattainable standard by human effort, thereby revealing the impossibility of salvation through law-keeping. The sermon then turns to Psalm 2, introducing Christ as the divine Son and rightful ruler, whose authority calls for submission and faith. Through a journey from the corporate worship of the Hallel Psalms to the personal testimony of Psalm 116 and the universal mission of Psalm 117, the message unfolds the Psalms as a progressive revelation of Christ's redemptive work, culminating in Psalm 118, which the preacher identifies as the Passover hymn Jesus sang and which points directly to His triumph over death. The sermon concludes by connecting this biblical theology to the enduring Scottish tradition of communion seasons, emphasizing self-examination, Christ's lordship, and the centrality of the gospel, while calling believers to rediscover the Psalms as profound expressions of Christ-centered grace.

Mat Staver is founder & chairman of Liberty Counsel. Mat is a constitutional attorney with three landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. He's an author and the host of the radio broadcasts Faith & Freedom, Freedom's Call and the TV broadcast, Freedom Alive. Jim had Mat comment on the following cases, pertinent to your religious freedom: In an 8-1 decision in the case of Chiles v. Salazar, the Supreme Court ruled that the ban on (so-called) conversion therapy (actually talk therapy) for minors violates the free speech of licensed counselors. Justice Katanji Brown Jackson was the only dissenting vote. There was a settlement agreed to by the city of Louisville, Kentucky, regarding a Christian photographer who was threatened with legal sanction if she did not serve (so-called) same-sex weddings. The photographer was also prohibited by the city from expressing her views on marriage on her own studio website. Earlier this month, Mat argued before the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of Zinski v. Liberty University. It's a case involving Jonathan Zinski, who Mat believes, "... intentionally set up Liberty University to try to take them down." This case could determine the scope of religious liberty protections for faith-based organizations. Oral arguments will be given before the Supreme Court tomorrow to settle the issue of birthright citizenship (Trump v. Barbara). Also discussed was the "creep" of Islamic Sharia and why Mat believes it's not compatible with American law. Highlighted was discussion of the "Preserving a Sharia-Free America Act" (H.R.5722/S. 3009) introduced by Representative Chip Roy and Senator Tommy Tuberville.

Jumped into our new 5th wheel to test out all the work Rich has been doing putting together a rapidly deployable and usable mobile studio in the wonderful office space in our new unit. Went well! He has more tweaking to do, and I have a lot of pictures to put up yet, but we are started. Headed to Utah on Thursday, debate on Saturday with Shabir Ally. Covered a bunch of topics from the Apocrypha to the Qur'an to Phil Vischer! Hope to do another program on Thursday after six plus hours on the road.

There have been numerous news stories expressing concern about the mental health of America. According to the National Institutes of Health, major depression is one of the most common mental disorders in the country. How should we view this from a biblical perspective? While you may have read Psalm 77 before, you perhaps never realized just how detailed this text is as it relates to depression. This program looks biblically at its symptoms, Asaph's rhetorical questions and the need to change our focus from "me" to the works, ways, wonders, worship and shepherding of God. Whether this is your battle or that of someone you care about, listen to find out how God speaks to the hurting heart on this edition of Crosstalk.

Título: S#19 - ENS - El Llamado a Avanzar en el Conocimiento de la Doctrina Predicador: César Augusto García Rincón Series: Libro a los Hebreos Fecha: 22 de marzo de 2026 Bible: Hebrews 5:10-6:3 El sermón enfatiza que la vida cristiana no debe estancarse en los rudimentos de la fe, sino avanzar hacia un conocimiento más profundo y maduro de Cristo, especialmente en su papel como sumo sacerdote intercesor, tal como se expone en el libro de Hebreos. A través del análisis del contexto histórico de la iglesia de Jerusalén, se destaca que muchos creyentes, pese a haber escuchado la sana doctrina durante décadas, permanecían espiritualmente inmaduros debido a una negligencia en aplicar lo que ya sabían. El problema no era la falta de enseñanza, la incapacidad de comprensión o la doctrina inadecuada, sino la falta de ejercicio espiritual, la inacción en vivir las verdades aprendidas, lo que llevó a una incapacidad para recibir enseñanzas más profundas.

Started off with a disgusting post from Michael Spangler attacking Corrie Ten Boom and the book, The Hiding Place. Just astonishing how Jew hatred rots the brain. Then we moved on to Dan McClellan's response piece, but spent most of today just discussing doing scholarship under the Lordship of Christ, and how this determines how you are going to interact with the text of Scripture. We will have to continue that response next week, hopefully from the Mobile Command Center!

The Bible's teaching on hell is a lot to take in, if one takes it seriously. And many don't. Human reluctance to embrace this hard teaching is understandable. It is appropriate to not like hell. God does not love hell; He does not delight in the destruction of the wicked (Ezek. 18:23). But we must believe what the Bible says about hell. And, rightly understood, we will find the doctrine "has the support of reason" and Scripture, as C. S. Lewis put it. Sincere readers recognize that hell, despite its offensiveness, is not a fringe topic of Scripture. Rather, it is at the center of the warnings of Jesus and the apostles; it functions the same in the Old Testament as in the New. And, like all revelation, the Bible's message about hell is "profitable for teaching … that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work" (2 Tim. 3:16, 17).
