Christians on SermonAudio

In 2 Corinthians 5:9-21, Paul shows that those who are in Christ are new creatures, called to live for the One who died and rose again for them. Ronnie Burge explains that salvation is entirely by grace through faith, yet the changed Christian life requires diligence: cleansing away worldly filthiness, renewing the mind through God's word, and refusing spiritual stagnation. Drawing from his own testimony of deliverance, he urges believers to stay close to the word and let others see that Jesus Christ has made them different.

I. All Christians are to be strong in the grace of Christ. A. Regenerated to the new life. B. Having God's solid Word. II. Faithful men must teach Christian truth. A. Enduring hardship. B. Wholehearted service. C. Self-discipline. D. Diligent toil. E. Applying it with understanding.

Tonight we dream about the day when death shall be swallowed up in VICTORY. This is the hope of the Christian.

Most false teaching does not begin with an outright rejection of biblical truth. It begins with distortion: a verse removed from context, one doctrine emphasized at the expense of another, or biblical language subtly redefined. In this episode of the Weekly Watch, Dave Jenkins explains why half-truths can be more dangerous than obvious lies and why biblical discernment is essential for every Christian. Beginning with Genesis 3, Dave examines how the serpent distorted God's Word and character by mixing truth with error. He then considers common modern half-truths, the danger of confirmation bias, the importance of biblical context, and Paul's commitment to proclaiming the whole counsel of God. Christians do not need to become experts in every false teaching. They need to know Christ and His Word. The deeper believers grow in Scripture, sound doctrine, and biblical theology, the better equipped they become to recognize truth that has been twisted or taken out of balance. Learn to test teaching according to Scripture, recognize biblical language being used in unbiblical ways, and remain grounded in the whole counsel of God.

Part Four of a Series off of the Christian church in America.

Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us that life is filled with seasons we cannot control, but none of them are outside the sovereign purposes of God. There is a time to rejoice and mourn, build and tear down, speak and remain silent. Through every season, God remains Lord over time and history. In this episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, Dave Jenkins explains how Ecclesiastes 3 teaches us to trust God's timing, recognize the limits of human control, receive life as His gift, and understand our deep longing for eternity. Ecclesiastes 3:11 declares, "He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart." We live in time but long for eternity. That longing ultimately points us beyond this present life to Jesus Christ, who entered our world, suffered, died, rose again, and gives His people the hope of everlasting life with Him. Ecclesiastes 3 calls Christians to trust God in every season, receive His gifts with gratitude, and rest in the certainty that His sovereign purposes endure forever.
