Today we present the question and answer session that followed the main presentation.

Having Nailed It To The Cross MP3 Link

The closing phrase of Colossians 2:14 is: “having nailed it to the cross.” However, depending on which translation of the New Testament you are reading, it is very difficult to determine exactly what Jesus nailed to that old rugged tree. Evangelist Nate Bibens gives us an exposition of this passage and considers some of the interpretive options.

Today we post the Q&A session that followed the main presentation of “Do Christians Worship Jesus?”

Do Christians Worship Jesus? Q&A MP3 Link

Since Cain and Abel the subject of how to appropriately worship God has been one of the controlling themes of God’s word. In today’s presentation, Bart Shaw tackles the question: Do Christians worship Jesus? The immediate and reflexive answer from most Christians is. “Well, of course, we do! Jesus is God!” At the same time, there is the tenuous hint of controversy lingering around this subject making it worthy of a detailed examination of scripture.

Clarification: It has been brought to my attention that a few people have misunderstood my presentation given March 12th concerning the question ‘Do We Worship Christ?’ As I stated in the presentation multiple times and in the follow-up monthly periodical (April Landmark Messenger). I do believe that Jesus is Divine (God the Son) and that the church does indeed worship Christ.

There are two statements in my audio sermon that have caused consternation to some. “We are never told to worship Jesus not a single time” and “The church is never commanded to worship Jesus not a single time. ” My purpose in making these statements was to point out that the four Greek words I mentioned in the sermon are not used to describe worship of Jesus in the New Testament.

It has been pointed out by an able expositor that we worship Jesus by calling on His name (Acts 22:16). This is an act of worship and I certainly agree with this sentiment. We need to be sure that we do not worship the Father to the exclusion of God the Son.

I hope this allays any misunderstanding. Anyone who has any questions can contact me directly at [email protected]. –Bart Shaw

Today we post the question and answer session that followed evangelist Jerry Dickinson’s presentation on the transfiguration.

The Transfiguration Q&A MP3 Link

While up on a mountain with a few of His disciples, Jesus “was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light” (Matthew 17:2). The men with the Lord were given an amazing privilege and honor to catch a glimpse of the true glory of Christ. Peter described the scene by writing, “He received from God the Father honor and glory” (2 Peter 1:17). In this sermon from the 2018 Mid-MO Study, evangelist Jerry Dickinson powerfully explains the details of this most incredible scene and its significance.

What does your outfit profess of your character? The way we dress is one of the first things others notice about us, and the Bible teaches that this impression manifests one’s ideals. If our aim is project godliness, our wardrobe must be in accord with godly principles. Evangelist Clint De France challenges us to utilize wisdom in the way we apply the Bible’s principled teachings concerning the way we dress.

The apostle closed his letter to the Galatians by saying: “From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus” (6:17). Paul endured much hardship in his service to Christ, even suffering severe physical violence. Like Paul, many Christians in this modern day suffer – not always in our bodies, but in many ways we too can bear the marks of Jesus.

Setting goals and measuring improvement are challenges we face in almost every facet of life. Success in any endeavor is almost always determined by properly measuring one’s progress. In this sermon from evangelist Greg Gay, we’re reminded that Christianity is no different as each of us must strive to mature in the faith.

Acts 8 records an incredible event where God called upon a preacher named Philip to intercept an Ethiopian man in the middle of nowhere as he was traveling home. The two met on the highway and struck up a conversation about ancient prophecy. Excitement ensued and this sermon from evangelist Jerry Dickinson captures every wonderful moment.
