Death on SermonAudio

When God's Soldiers Forget Who the Enemy Is!. WE'VE GOT THE ARMOUR—BUT WE'RE FIGHTING EACH OTHER! Eph. 6:10–18 KJV My message tells the story of Christians who have studied God's Word, learned about spiritual warfare, and put on the appearance of soldiers—but have forgotten how to love and protect one another. Christians who know their Bibles and can identify every piece of spiritual Armour. Yet a brother has been neglected for years, and a sister sits in church silently carrying her fears. The enemy doesn't have to defeat a church from the outside but insideGod did not give His church spiritual Armour so Christians could destroy one another. He gave us Armour to withstand the devil, stand firm in the faith, and serve together under Jesus Christ.God has provided His people with the whole Armour of God, but what happens when Christians begin fighting one another instead of standing together against the real enemy?This message challenges believers to examine their hearts, restore broken fellowship, encourage the wounded, and remember that our ultimate spiritual battle is not against flesh and blood.Don't leave your brother on the battlefield. Your brother is not your ultimate enemy. Your sister is not your ultimate enemy. The devil is your enemy, and Jesus Christ is your victory!There was a day when every one of us who has been saved was helpless in sin. We could not save ourselves.But Jesus came to rescue us.Above all, it points listeners to Jesus Christ, whose death, burial, and resurrection provide the only way of salvation.Put on the whole Armour of God. Stand firm in His truth. Lift up the wounded. Forgive one another. And stand together for the glory of Jesus Christ!

Ecclesiastes 3:18-22

Scripture Reading: Psalm 98 Text: Psalm 30 Theme: The King looks to the Lord for deliverance and life in the face of suffering and death.

Every second that passes, every hour that elapses, every flip of the calendar puts us closer to the time of the Lord's return or to our appointment with death. According to the CDC, one death occurs in the United States every 10 seconds. By the time you finish listening to this 54-minute program, 324 people will have been ushered into eternity. Some recognize their present health condition reveals there is not much time left. For others, death comes by total surprise due to an auto collision, a heart attack, an aneurism, a freak accident or just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. We just don't know when our appointment with death will occur. This is what compels believers in Christ to share the Gospel. Such is the case for our guest on this edition of Crosstalk who became burdened for our nation's capital, Washington D.C. This past January we first introduced you to the DC Gospel Outreach, an organized plan to blanket our nation's capital this summer with the Gospel as tourists flooded into the city, marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. We asked you to pray…we asked you to go…we asked you to consider a gift and several responded in a variety of ways. Now all these months later we invited our guest back and he provided listeners with a very encouraging report on what happened with the DC Gospel Outreach. That guest is Dr. Alton Beal, the executive director of DC Gospel Outreach. He's also an evangelist and president of Ambassador Baptist College which trains men and women for full-time Christian service. More Information DC Gospel Outreach 104 – 1 N.
