DEBATE on SermonAudio

This sermon explores the monergistic nature of salvation as presented in Ephesians 1, emphasizing that God alone is the cause of redemption. The preacher defines biblical trust and belief not as intellectual exercises but as inevitable fruits of hearing the gospel, distinguishing them from mere mental assent or religious upbringing. Key theological points include being sealed by the Holy Spirit as a mark of possession and redeemed through Christ's ransom price, securing the believer's eternal inheritance. The message urges listeners to recognize that salvation is a purposeful work of God from eternity past, designed to inspire worship rather than theological debate. Ultimately, it calls the lost to repent and believe, assuring them that trusting in Christ guarantees they will never be put to shame.

When Jesus describes the broad way in Matthew 7:13, he does not say it leads to hell. He says it leads to destruction. So are those the same thing? Is destruction another way of describing hell? Does destruction mean annihilation?

The Philosophy of Place Faith Debate: Sunday, June 14th, 2026 (06/21/26 on 930 WFMD in Frederick, Maryland) Jon Harris is a lightning rod for commentary on church/politics/culture – emphasizing paleo-conservatism & localism. (But it's when discussing things overtly in the context of the gospel that he's at his best). He joins the show to talk with Troy & his wife. This episode doesn't focus on political theory, nor practical sociological strategy, nor aim to explain "How our nation gets there from here". Future episodes can debate questions of "empire", "Caesarian figures", the prospect of a present-day "Franco" (or other so-called "necessary evils"). It could be fun to go back-and-forth in defining "worldview", "ideology", "-isms", & the nuances involved in considering the "order of affections" – but we also don't do that in this episode. (Each of these would take a series of shows all their own- in fact, Jon's dedicated countless episodes of his podcast to these things, and so has The Faith Debate during its 22-year history). To categorize/label the show within the correct file of your brain, think in terms of us broadly tackling the questions of Christ & culture, and applying big themes in a niche way – drilling down on the philosophy & power of "place". "Christ and culture" questions have been asked/answered in various ways for generations. Should the church act in terms of Christ being against/of/above/in paradox with/or transformer of - culture? (With "place" as an aspect of culture). The Panelists: Troy Skinner. Founder, Household of Faith in Christ Dina Carole. "The Voice of Frederick" Jon Harris.

As Pastor McKinnon continues his sermon series on the office of deacon, he addresses the debated phrase in 1 Timothy 3:11, clarifying that 'women' likely refers to female helpers in ministry, not an official office of deaconess, and argues against such an office based on Scripture's consistent teaching that women are not to exercise authority over men in the church.

The Power of Place Faith Debate: Sunday, June 7th, 2026 (06/14/26 on 930 WFMD in Frederick, Maryland) Jon Harris is an author ("Social Justice Goes to Church", "Against the Waves", etc.) and documentary producer (Last Stand Studios) on issues of evangelicalism, Americana, and culture wars. He's a columnist active on Substack & TruthScripit (which he co-founded), as well as a singer/songwriter. He's best known as host of "Conversations That Matter", first gaining notoriety for exposing the Social Justice Leftism infecting the Southern Baptist Convention & its seminaries (with clarity in defending the biblical gospel). Dina Carole has been a media fixture for decades. Listeners might recognize her from her decades-long career in radio & TV up and down the eastern US (from New York to Florida), including her long tenure as "The Voice of Frederick" (having been a fixture on Maryland radio for years). This panel has been assembled for a discussion on the very real importance of physical "place". When Troy and Dina moved to a new house, they left behind their home of a quarter century. The move was tough because to Troy the residence represented stability, security, and emotional safety. For Dina the impact of the move hit her differently, as she tends to look at people moving through different seasons of life. Therefore, she doesn't cling to things as a general rule. But some might wonder if this is a defense mechanism as they see her more easily moving on. The panel: Troy Skinner. Founder, Household of Faith in Christ Dina Carole.

Pastor Jeffrey Lynn - Sunday AM Service (06/07/26)

This sermon traces the historical development of Christian Zionism by analyzing various theological interpretations of God's promises to Abraham. The speaker categorizes these views into literalist, non-literalist, and partial literalist frameworks, contrasting them with historic premillennialism, dispensationalism, postmillennialism, and amillennialism. A key argument highlights how the rise of dispensationalism in the late nineteenth century shifted the focus from a mass conversion of Jews to political support for the modern state of Israel. The transcript emphasizes that contemporary Christian Zionism diverges significantly from earlier church traditions by separating national restoration from spiritual redemption. Ultimately, the message urges humility and caution regarding complex eschatological debates while maintaining a commitment to the gospel.

Who Were the Leaders of the "Restoration Movement"? 1. Thomas Campbell: "Thomas Campbell's famous Declaration and Address stated in no uncertain terms the principles upon which such restoration should rest." The Spiritual Sword, July, '73, p. 15. 2.

Walter Scott: "Pioneer preachers as ...Walter Scott." The Spiritual Sword, July, '73, p. 6 These are the four primary "founding fathers" of the Restoration movement, none of whom ever obeyed the "ancient gospel" which was supposedly restored on November 18, 1827 when Walter Scott baptized William Amend (see Life of Elder Walter Scott by William Baxter, p. 108). Significant Dates and Events in the "Restoration Movement" as Revealed In Restoration Writings: 1812 - June 12: The Campbells and the Hanens (seven persons in all) are immersed by Matthias Luce, a Baptist preacher, in Buffalo Creek. This was nearly 15 years before the practice of "baptism in order to obtain the remission of sins" was supposedly "restored" by Walter Scott, Nov. 18, 1827. (Ibid., Vol. 1, pp. 396-398; Vol. 2, p. 212). 1816 - A. Campbell preaches heresies on the Law at Redstone Association. (Ibid., Vol. 1, p. 471). 1820 - Alexander Campbell debates with John Walker, Presbyterian, and defends Baptist name, doctrine and history. (see Campbell-Walker Debate). 1823 - August: A. Campbell learns that t
