Evangelism on SermonAudio

The sermon contrasts the true gospel of sovereign grace with human-centered methods of evangelism, using the early church in Antioch as a primary example. It argues that salvation is entirely God's work, ordained for those elected to eternal life, rather than a result of human will or emotional appeals. The speaker critiques modern soul-winning contests and altar calls, asserting that faith must rest on God's power and truth alone, not on man's wisdom or works. By referencing Acts 13 and 1 Thessalonians, the text emphasizes that the gospel comes with power and assurance, effectively working in the believer without human manipulation. Ultimately, the message calls for reliance on Christ's finished work and the preaching of the Word, leaving salvation entirely to God's initiative.

The Baptism of Jesus

God works through weak messengers so that our faith rests on him.

Are we pushing our own ideas? Are we, praying to God for faithful and diligent ministers to lead and build the church? Are we really aware that the harvest is really owned by Jesus? Do you agree that 'inside information' from the Lord, is supremely beneficial for the labor He has called us to? Are we praying to the Lord for the souls He desires, or even the ways He desires us to evangelize? Please listen to "The Proper Diagnosis" taught by Pastor Jamie and find out how to operate in out in the fields.

Psalm 22 takes us to the foot of the cross, where we see Christ's sufferings and wonder and adore since it was all for us. We see his dereliction, his distress, and his deliverance.

Over the course of eight weeks, Pastoral Assistant and Intern Steven Tavel will lead us in exploring one of the most beautiful and foundational doctrines of the Christian faith. Covenant theology is not merely a theological system; it is the way the Scriptures teach us about God's gracious relationship with His people. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture reveals one unfolding plan of redemption centered on the person and work of Jesus Christ. Severn Run Evangelical Presbyterian Church is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), devoted to the pursuit of Scripture, prayer, fellowship, and worship as we seek to faithfully reach our community for Christ.

The sermon outlines a comprehensive study on the doctrine of the church, beginning with three primary distinctives that define its identity in redemptive history. It establishes that the church is a unique entity formed by the union of Jew and Gentile into one new body, a mystery revealed through Christ's work and sealed by the Holy Spirit. The speaker emphasizes that true adherence to the gospel is the defining mark of Christian community, distinguishing it from mere religious organizations or historical traditions. Furthermore, the transcript asserts that a valid church must practice specific internal ordinances and leadership structures while simultaneously engaging in external evangelism and discipleship. Ultimately, the church is presented as a spirit-filled community called to worship internally and fulfill the Great Commission externally.

In this class we discuss ways we can widen the scope of our spiritual practices farther than the reformation triangle of Word, Meditation, and Prayer. Though we can broaden beyond just those three practices specifically, we never move completely beyond them. They remain the center and foundation of all our spiritual formation. Specifically in this class, we discuss how we can look outside of ourselves to God's creation, and look within ourselves with self-examination, as tools for spiritual growth.

After commanding the Colossians to pray, Paul commanded the Colossians to walk wisely before unbelievers in the world. He then moved into how we are to talk to unbelievers and around unbelievers. We are to speak with grace. All of this is so that we will be able to respond rightly to unbelievers so as to further the Gospel.

The sermon addresses the growing presence of Muslims in America and challenges believers to share the Christian gospel with them effectively. It contrasts Islamic teachings found in the Quran and Sharia law with biblical truths, specifically emphasizing Jesus' divinity, crucifixion, and resurrection as essential for salvation. Using John chapter three as a primary text, the speaker illustrates how the concept of being born again can serve as a bridge to explain spiritual rebirth to those seeking the kingdom of God. The message encourages immediate personal faith in Christ's rescue plan while urging the congregation to pray for and support missionary efforts in the Middle East and among local immigrant communities.
