Christians on SermonAudio

GOD SPEAKS AND WE RESPOND. Psalm 119:30–40 KJV Psalm 119:30–40 teaches that hearing God's truth calls for a response. The psalmist chooses the way of truth, holds firmly to God's testimonies, and determines to run in the way of His commandments. He prays for God to teach him, give him understanding, and help him walk obediently. He also asks God to change his desires, turn his eyes away from worthless things, and establish the Word in his life. Biblical obedience is not an attempt to earn salvation; it is the response of a heart that loves God and trusts His Word. This final lesson brings the How God Speaks series to its central challenge: God speaks through His Word, His Holy Spirit, circumstances, and His church—but hearing is only the beginning. When God speaks, faith listens and obedience responds.

This instructional sermon examines the theological relationship between the church and the state, arguing that while both are institutions ordained by God, they possess distinct spheres of authority. The speaker contends that the state's primary role is to maintain civil order and enforce the second table of the law through natural law, whereas the church is responsible for promoting religion and enforcing both tables of the law through spiritual discipline. By analyzing historical confessions and biblical texts, the lesson distinguishes between the temporal peace provided by the magistrate and the eternal righteousness offered by the church. The preacher emphasizes that Christians should submit to governing authorities, pray for them, and engage in the political process to promote moral good, while recognizing that the state does not have the authority to dictate matters of faith or conscience.

Dave Jenkins examines three trends undermining biblical authority: claims of private revelation, experience becoming the interpreter of Scripture, and cultural pressure reshaping biblical teaching. Drawing from 2 Timothy 3:16–17 and other passages, he explains how sola Scriptura helps Christians test spiritual claims and remain faithful to God's Word. This Weekly Watch episode encourages careful discernment rooted in knowing Christ, growing in sound doctrine, and remaining committed to the local church.

This Week on "The Friends of Israel Today" Radio: At the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15), the apostles welcomed Gentiles into the church, but they also laid down some house rules. This week, we study the second rule: Abstain from sexual immorality. Why could this be difficult for new believers? Because believing in Jesus meant more than devoting time to worship a new god. It meant making God the Lord of their entire lives—every part of them. As Christians, we don't follow the rules and culture of the world; we follow Christ's. And when we do, we don't regret it!
