Philosophy on SermonAudio

This lesson examines the moral failure of the crowd and Pilate in condemning Jesus, illustrating how group pressure and pragmatic expediency can override individual conscience and divine law. It argues that there is no neutral position in the face of injustice, asserting that silence or passive compliance with evil constitutes a violation of the command to love one's neighbor. By citing Proverbs, Zechariah, and Isaiah, the message emphasizes God's demand for impartial justice, particularly toward the vulnerable, and rejects the notion that majority rule or civil statutes can legitimize wickedness. The teacher urges believers to recognize the duty to disobey unlawful decrees, drawing on examples from Daniel and Esther, and to resist the cultural trend of urging approval for evil under the guise of tolerance. Ultimately, the message calls for a steadfast commitment to God's Word over societal consensus, warning that prioritizing outcomes over righteousness opens the door to moral corruption.

What can a family photo teach us about baptism and the Lord's Supper? A photograph reminds us of people we love. In a similar way, these two ordinances point us to Jesus and what He has done for us. In this kids' message, Pastor Sam uses a family picture to explain why we trust in Jesus to wash away our sins. Baptism and communion help us remember His death and resurrection, and the Holy Spirit strengthens our faith as we receive them by faith. Listen with your kids, then ask: Who saves us from our sins? Who helps our faith grow? 📖 Baptist Catechism Question 96 Harvest Liberty Lake Church #KidsMessage #FamilyDiscipleship #Baptism #LordsSupper

While Athens was known for its philosophy, Corinth was known for its immorality. But this is where Paul next brings the gospel of Christ. And it is in Paul's ministry at Corinth that this study observes God's faithful providence at work. Christians should find their faith strengthened at what this text displays about the Lord's providence.

Dave Jenkins examines three enduring Reformation themes: objective truth, biblical worship, and the authority of Scripture. From John 17:17, John 4:24, and 2 Timothy 3:16–17, he explains why the church must receive truth from God, worship according to His Word, and submit to biblical correction. Christians are called to speak truth in love and demonstrate submission to Scripture through faithful obedience.

Why would the apostle who calls marriage a living picture of Christ and the church also tell some people not to marry? In the final episode of our Christ and culture series, Dr. Marcus Mininger takes up 1 Corinthians 7 and a claim that rarely makes it into church life: good things can still be the wrong things to build your life around. He moves from Paul's logic to the questions it raises about discretionary income, a nicer car, a political donation, a well-drilling project, and the careers we steer our children toward. He also tells why he turned away from Special Forces, politics, and graduate philosophy to study what lasts the longest. Cultural life matters, but how much of your life should it get? Listen, then pass it to the pastor, elder, or friend who is wrestling with that question.

What is globalism? According to Alex: "In short, it's the idea that we should get rid of nations and all merge into a one-world system." On that note, this broadcast looks at people like John Foster Dulles, Alger Hiss, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Richard Haass, and more, as well as organizations like the Bohemian Grove, Skull and Bones, the Illuminati, and the Council on Foreign Relations. These are just some of the people and organizations that have been tied to the idea that global problems require global solutions. The problem with that philosophy is what lies just beneath the surface. It's the reality that in order to accomplish this you must establish global governance and that involves the abolishing of sovereign nations, family and private property. You'll hear that this is hardly a conspiracy theory. As Alex notes, the people pushing this today are talking about it more openly than ever and doing it through that which is central to all of this: the climate crisis and its related sustainable development goals.

Dave Jenkins explains why sola Scriptura remains essential for the church today. Examining religious authority, claims of new revelation, personal experience, and cultural pressure, he shows why every competing voice must be tested by God's Word. This episode also considers pastoral accountability, the differences between revelation and illumination, and faithful Christian decision making. Scripture alone is the only infallible and final authority for Christian faith and life.
