Real Truth Matters Podcast

The work of the Gospel is to lead all men, saved or unsaved, to the place of humiliation. Our righteousness is sorely insufficient to please a perfectly righteous God. There is only one kind of righteousness that saves, it the righteousness of Jesus Christ. His righteousness is given freely to all who trust in Him and follow Him in loving devotion.

How does a Christian know if he or she has a real relationship with Christ? In this revival sermon, Michael Durham sheds light on how Christ manifests Himself to His genuine followers. Again, we apologize for the poor quality of audio, but it is still worth the listen.

This sermon was delivered to Living Hope Baptist Church in Hopkinsville, Ky during a week of special meetings. In this message, Michael Durham, shares with the congregation that true revival is a return to normal Christianity. Many churches have settled for a norm that is abnormal. This message will confront this mistake and hopefully call people to genuine repentance. (We apologize for the video and audio quality but opted to post because of the value of the content. After a few minutes the audio will improve.)

In the final message of Pastor Durham’s ministry at Oak Grove Baptist Church, he reminds us that the Gospel was designed to work in a person by the supernatural power of God. The Christian life is the life of God in the soul, energizing with desire and power to do His will. Natural ability cannot perform what only God in can do in a person. The task of the Christian is by faith to cooperate with God’s activity in him or her. With this sermon Michael Durham closes his pastoral ministry and begins an itinerate evangelistic ministry.

After the Apostle Paul told believers in chapter 6 of his epistle to the Romans that they were dead to the reign of sin, he proceeded in the seventh chapter to explain that they were also dead to the law. What does this mean? It means that the Christian no longer has to go through the law to get to God. Before Christ the only way to have relationship with God was by obedience to the Law. But no one could perfectly keep the Law until Christ came. He fulfilled the Law of God and died to it. Once raised from the dead, His relationship to God was no longer governed by the Law. The same it true for us. Unfortunately, most Christians are still trying in the power of their own abilities to keep the Law in order to retain God’s blessings.

Sanctification is mostly seen as a matter of the soul and not the body. However, the Apostle Paul says our bodies and how we use them play in important role in our sanctification. We cannot sanctify ourselves but we can cooperate with the grace of God in us. In this message we will learn what role our bodies have in God's process of sanctifying us.

Although an unusual text for a Christmas sermon, Michael Durham shows how the Christmas story is incomplete by itself. The ultimate purpose of the Christ child is to die and triumph over death and sin. This message gets deeper into the glorious implications of His death and resurrection.

God’s goal for all His children is that their faith grow, but faith does not grow without a struggle. It is often in the struggle that we fail to believe and we experience a faith failure. In this message we will learn how to fight the fight of faith and avoid faith failures and let cooperate with the Lord Jesus in the growth of our faith.

In this message on the subject of faith, Michael Durham explores the biblical source of faith and how it works in the lives of the believer. All Christians are to live a life of faith, but all to often many don’t because they don’t know how to listen to God or are too selective in what they hear. The key to a life of faith is a vital and vibrant relationship with Christ.

In today’s message, we explore how you increase your faith. Many try to increase their faith using unbiblical methods. RTM speaker, Michael Durham, outlines the only way you can grow in the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ.
