Our congregation recently withdrew from the PCA and joined the Bible Presbyterian Church, General Synod. In the year prior, Pastor Carl van der Merwe and his congregation -Grace Reformed Presbyterian Church, Greenville, TN- did the same. On this podcast, the reasons these actions were taken are explained. Thanks to Rev Michael Foster, host of Practical Ecclesiology, for use of this podcast.

How narrow do you draw the circle of Christian fellowship- Jesus draws it wider than you might think-

It would be nice to stay atop the mountain but the Lord calls us to go down and get on with the work of His Kingdom.

The life of a disciple of Jesus is not primarily lived on the mountain top peaks of high experience, but rather, down below, where people and their problems live.

This is part one, the biblical-exegetical study for Mark 8-27-9-29, that are the background verses for the February 10th sermon, A Call to Action.

The Pharisees demand a sign from Jesus. It was a demand born out of unbelief rather than faith. People who choose willful ignorance are a source of sadness for those who have chosen the Truth.

Signs and wonders were evidence of Jesus' divine authority and that in Him the Kingdom has come. But signs and wonders cannot be the ground of your faith-

What truly defines who, or what, a person really is- Are you what you do, or what you think- Jesus tells a parable following His encounter with the Jews that answers those questions.

A new MP3 sermon from Reedy River Bible Presbyterian Church is now available on SermonAudio.com with the following details:

Title: Traditions: The Good and Not So Good!

Subtitle: Studies in the Gospel of Mark

Speaker: Dr Charles H Roberts

Broadcaster: Reedy River Bible Presbyterian Church

Event: Sunday Service

Date: 1/6/2019

Bible: Mark 7:1-13

Length: 35 min.

Overview: Jesus' confrontation with the Pharisees and scribes in chapter 7 are some of the most important verses in the New Testament. These verses show that the Judaistic religion, as defined by its official leaders, cannot be reconciled with Biblical religion, in other words, with the message of Jesus. These verses also show the problems with modern movements known as contemporary worship, church growth, and -theonomy.- A challenging and important message for today-
