Truth on SermonAudio

A false outworking of faith is the result of a faulty foundation. In this sermon on Psalm 84:1–12 titled "True Religion," Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones continues a consideration of preliminary considerations of utmost importance as answered by the psalmist. First, through a brief discussion of what true religion is, and second through an evaluation of what the final authority of faith is. With faith, there must be a leaving and a taking up, a denial and a following. Today, some people want the benefits of religion, but in their own way. Find out the relationship between a faith that works and a faith that is built on truth. Are these two interchangeable? If one has a faith that works, does that determine its trueness? Dr. Lloyd-Jones directly addresses this issue and reminds his listeners that religion should most certainly be practical. False peace will let one down when they need it most, but the truth and promises of God are certain because of the character of God that they derive from. If one wants the blessings, they must accept the truths. To get God's peace, they must take His wrath against sin and come to the altar in Christ.

This sermon explores the theological significance of Reformation Day by tracing the concept of reformation through biblical history, from the transition of the Old Covenant to the New Covenant in Christ to the reforms of King Josiah. It highlights the Protestant Reformation as a divine restoration of the gospel, emphasizing Martin Luther's rejection of indulgences and the recovery of key doctrines such as justification by faith alone and the authority of Scripture. The message underscores the necessity of the church remaining constantly reformed to avoid drifting into legalism or losing the clarity of the gospel. By examining the five solas and the historical context of the Reformation, the sermon calls believers to hold fast to biblical truth and recognize the ongoing work of God in preserving the light of the gospel for the world.

This sermon examines three distinct commands from the Sermon on the Mount: the prohibition against swearing oaths, the rejection of personal retaliation, and the imperative to love one's enemies. The speaker argues that Christians must be truthful in their speech, rendering oaths unnecessary, and must leave vengeance to God rather than seeking private justice. While acknowledging the difficulty of these teachings, the lesson emphasizes that divine protection and the legal system serve as proper boundaries against abuse, whereas personal vigilante action is forbidden. The central message calls believers to a higher standard of character, where integrity in word and self-sacrificial love for those who oppose them reflect the perfection of the Heavenly Father.

Church history helps Christians recognize recurring errors, appreciate sound doctrine, and learn from faithful believers who have gone before them. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains how historical awareness strengthens biblical discernment and cultivates humility and gratitude. Drawing on Ecclesiastes 1:9 and Hebrews 13:7, he emphasizes that every historical lesson must remain subject to the supreme authority of God's Word.

Why has the Elizabeth Holmes documentary, You Can See Everything, broken a 20-year record at the box office? Why are so many young people packing into theaters to see an exercise in postmodern relativism about the nature of truth? Kevin Swanson talks with Bill Jack about what young people are desperately seeking in documentaries like this – and what happens when you stop believing in objective truth. They discuss… - The startling facts about how many Americans reject objective truth - Why so many people are religiously inclined to accept relativism – and why the occult so often comes with it - How this seeps into even Christian culture – including why "uptalk" is on the rise, and how feeling is subtly elevated over thinking - Tactics for having a fruitful conversation with someone who says, "That's your truth, not mine" - The ultimate taboo for the relativist – and how to break it in a way that might plant a stone in their shoe The chief mark of our age is confusion over what is real, with people drifting on a sea of opinions. But God's Word remains a sure anchor. Got a topic you want us to cover?

Assistant Pastor Ryan Ahlenius sits down with Pastor Bo Cogbill and John Unger (RCC's Director of Administration and Discipleship) to discuss the topic of the death penalty. The recent failed execution of Christa Pike has caused a big dust-up on whether it is unjust for the civil magistrate to utilize the death penalty. When is ending a life sinful? Biblically speaking, what is the difference between killing and murder? How do we understand 'the dignity of every human life' and ever call the death penalty 'just'? Listen in to hear more.
