The first missionaries of the Gospel of the kingdom of God besides the Lord Jesus Christ's ministry were the 12 disciples sent out by Jesus two by two. They went told only to go to the lost house of Israel and not to the Gentiles or Samaritans, which would come later. Why? Also, Judas Iscariot was one of these preachers empowered by Jesus. How could that be? Also, the worse sin anyone could ever commit is to hear the gospel and not repent and believe. Sodom and Gomorrah will be beaten with fewer lashes in hell than these.

As the US contemplates a military intervention into the internal affairs of Syria, it is putting itself in great peril because God is not on its side. America's spiritual decline is escalating which makes her very vulnerable to God's judgment. Unless America repents, terrifying things are likely to come upon her. As the government persecutes the faithful church and her preachers, God is aroused to rescue His bride. The church will prevail in America despite whatever serious judgment God brings upon it for its abandonment of God's law.

What kind of faith breaks through with Jesus? It is one that believes and trusts that He is the only answer. Learn how a desperate synagoue official with a dying daughter and a poor woman afflicted with a long disease broke through and experienced wonderful blessings.

Some men will do almost anything to get to Jesus to minister to them while others have hearts cold as ice. Jesus came to save sinners, but one must understand they are in need of a Savior.

As the Messiah, the Son of God and Son of Man, Jesus would do many things demonstrating that He was Lord of all. This includes His authority over the demonic realm. The demonic realm understands that Jesus is the Son of God. The demons that possessed people immediately knew who Jesus was. There is no eternal struggle between good and evil going on with the outcome in the balance. The devil and his minions can do nothing but what Jesus allows.

Being a genuine Christian means that we not only confess the Lordship of Christ but that we live under that Lordship. We cannot set the terms for being a disciple of Christ; only Jesus as the Lord, our Master can do that. Many fall short because they want Christ on their own terms. Learn what Jesus demands.

Jesus just finished His magnificent Sermon on the Mount and great crowds were following Him so they become witnesses of what He does in His healing minstry, and in this case with the healing of the leper, the centurion's slave, and Peter's mother-in-law. Jesus' healing ministry was a far cry from modern churches whose attempts to having healing services cannot remotely approach what Jesus did. Jesus did not broadcast His healings; did not take up donations, etc. And the healings were spectacular to put it mildly. Faith was required of those being healed and the centurion's faith, who was a Roman gentile, army commander had a faith that amazed Jesus, and was unmatched among the Jewish people.

This may be the scariest passage in the Bible because it demonstrates that Jesus says many who call Him Lord on Judgment Day appealing to prophesing in His name, casting out demons in His name, and doing miracles will be told by Jesus that He never knew them. They will be sent to hell because they never were genuine Christians even though they considered themselves to be such. How do we examine ourselves to be sure we are the elect on Judgment Day?

Jesus and the apostles warned about the danger of false prophets who as Jesus said will come as wolves in sheep's clothing. Jesus said you will know them by their fruit, which is what? It is their doctrine and the ungodly lifestyles.

The whole notion of pluralism (many ways to God) is an unbiblical concept though very popular today. The exclusiveness of Christianity has always been its distinctive and cause for its persecution by the world. Also, the text does not mean that the number of elect will be few in human history. Jesus was dealing with those Jews of His time that refused to believe in Him.

Jesus taught us to continually ask, seek, and knock in prayer. Most Christians don't understand the power of prayer. Learn about some of the greatest prayers in the Bible and in church history.

Some think any kind of judging is wrong, citing Jesus' comments in Matthew 7, but this is not true. What is Jesus condemning? When can we judge?

Anxiety or worrying is a grievous sin. Anxiety is the opposite of faith. The key to not worrying is to believe the promises of God. This is what Jesus is commanding us to do- trust in a faithful God.

Worrying is a sin. It is not living by faith in God's promises. Jesus tells us how to not be anxious.

This is the last of 17 messages on the sinful compromise of theistic evolution. The fundamental problem with this view is that it denies the sole authority of Scripture, making scientific views as the basis for re-interpreting the Bible. The best apologetic against this is a presuppositional approach where the Bible is the Word of God because it says so. The Bible is self attesting. This is the view of Scripture and the Westminster Confession of Faith.

One of the most dangerous views being taught today is that of theistic evoltuion, that God used the process of evolution to form all life. This is a lie and has no biblical support. Just what is a true biblical account of creation?

One of the compromisers on the doctrine of creation is Dr. Gregg Davidson. He is a committed theistic evolution. I give detailed analysis of his views, particularly his book, "When Faith and Science Collide."

Sadly today there is a view in various churches and institutions known as theistic evolution. This view believes that God used the process of evolution to create all life. The problem begins with these people refusing to accept the 'days' of creation as normal 24 hr. periods. Learn that the Bible has sound support of viewing the days of creation as 6 ordinary days. Also, there are NO time gaps in the chronology of the genealogies of the early chapters of Genesis. The earth is only 6000 years old according to the Bible.

Some think that the conflict between creationism and evolution is that of science vs faith. This is untrue. Evoution is a faith system, not a scientific fact - something admitted by many evolutionists. The conflict is between worldviews or systems of thought.

What many people don't know is that Charles Darwin early in his life was studying to be an Anglican priest. He once held to the authority of the Bible, but his life is one tragic story of his descent into apostasy. How did that happen? For one, it started with his questioning of the authority of Scripture, his questioning of the early chapters of Genesis, and his questioning of the doctrine of hell.
