Title: The Helmet of Salvation

Subtitle: Ephesians

Speaker: John Bronson

Broadcaster: Evangelical Free Church of Oroville

Event: Sunday Service

Date: 3/6/2011

Bible: Ephesians 6:10-20

Length: 34 min.

Overview: our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said, --the one who endures to the end will be saved.-I am not sure that we actually take that statement seriously. We are given to the notion of saying, -No, the one who at some time or other accepted Jesus is saved.- That is true. But so is this. The answer -reconciling these- is, the one who at sometime or other actually accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior will endure to the end. So the question in the meantime is, -Are we enduring--

Title: The Sword of the Spirit

Subtitle: Ephesians

Speaker: John Bronson

Broadcaster: Evangelical Free Church of Oroville

Event: Sunday Service

Date: 3/13/2011

Bible: Ephesians 6:10-20

Length: 35 min.

Overview: We are called by God to stand in the midst of the world and address the world with the word that God has given us. We dress ourselves in the doctrines, we saturate our minds and our hearts, we know that we are well defended, we are ready to engage the enemy. Then we take up the word of God and we step forward into the world and we say- -This is what God has done. This is what God has done for you. I come proclaiming the gospel, and I invite you to believe. I invite you to come to the God Who heals the wounds of sin. I come to let you know of the God who breaks the power of sin, so that you are no longer the slaves of those distorted and misplaced desires. I come to declare to you the God who brings freedom from the fear of death, so that in the recognition that you now are alive not just within the span of this time, but you are alive with God for eternity, you no longer need to live in fear that somehow you will be robbed of the goodness of life, for all the goodness of life will be yours through our gracious Lord Jesus Christ.- But ultimately when I come with the gospel, with the Word, the sword of the Spirit, I come to let you know you can be reconciled with the Living God.

Title: Praying in the Spirit

Speaker: John Bronson

Broadcaster: Evangelical Free Church of Oroville

Event: Sunday Service

Date: 4/3/2011

Bible: Ephesians 6:18-20, Romans 8:26-27

Length: 28 min.

Overview: You must believe that the resurrection of Jesus from the dead indicates that He has fully satisfied the justice of God in removing all of the guilt for you sin. It is all gone. If you do not believe that, then what you are saying is that you don't actually believe that the death of Jesus was sufficient to cover you sins, and if you don't believe that, you are going to spend the rest of your life trying to make up to God for what you have done. And that is to insult the sufficiency of the work of God's Son in loving you, and caring for you and paying for your sin.

Broadcaster: Evangelical Free Church of Oroville

Event: Sunday Service

Date: 5/1/2011

Length: 43 min.

Overview: we are to be fully armed with the truth, we are to be armed with righteousness, we are to have the gospel, we are to have faith, we are to have assurance, and we are to have the Word of God, and all of these things we take upon ourselves as armor, and then he says with that armor I want you to pray. If we reflect upon that, it should come home to us that from the perspective of scripture, prayer is a discipline, not an impulse. Prayer is a discipline- it is demanding, and we are commanded to pray.

Title: The Second Petition

Subtitle: The Lord's Prayer

Speaker: John Bronson

Broadcaster: Evangelical Free Church of Oroville

Event: Sunday Service

Date: 5/15/2011

Bible: Matthew 6:5-13

Length: 47 min.

Overview: We are using the Lord's Prayer to help us to know how to approach our God. We are using the Lord's Prayer to help shape our own prayer lives. We want the Word of God to come in and make its imprint, if you will, upon our hearts, and its imprint upon our minds, so that the thoughts of our minds and the intentions of our hearts are in agreement with the God we worship. We do not want to be pagans who approach our God with the hope of buying Him off, or getting what we want. We want to approach our God as if He was God. When we enter God's presence, the Psalmist is indicating, we should enter it with thanksgiving, and we should enter His presence with the intention to bless Him.

Title: Parables of the Kingdom and Prayer

Subtitle: The Lord's Prayer

Speaker: John Bronson

Broadcaster: Evangelical Free Church of Oroville

Event: Sunday Service

Date: 5/22/2011

Bible: Matthew 13

Length: 51 min.

Overview: What we are looking at when we look at prayer in this way, what I have called -deliberate prayer- but you could also call it preparatory prayer, is the prayer we engage in order that we would be ready to engage in the issues of life. We desire, when we pray this way, to pray according to the Word of God. Consequently this kind of prayer is a discipline- it goes along with the other disciplines of the Christian life. Why do we have disciplines- -We do so- because, particularly as you walk down the road a little while, you realize left to our own spontaneous preferences we will lose the battle against the flesh. Even as saved Christians if we do not exercise forethought, if we don't make a plan to meet the eventualities of the day, then it is a certainty that at some point the demands of life are going to sweep up, grab us, twist us around and under the impulse of those sudden necessities we will fall back into the patterns of the flesh instead of staking our ground on the certainties of God's Word. We must be disciplined. The prayer that I am talking about, I think the prayer that Jesus intended, would be built upon the model of this brief Lord's Prayer. It is preparatory prayer. It is getting ready for each day.
