Episode 267: AUDIO; THE BIBLE NEVER MAKES MISTAKES

Episode 273: AUDIO; PROPHECY PROVES THAT JESUS IS THE MESSIAH

We revisit the account of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, humbly seated on a donkey, and show how it was predicted in detail by old testament prophecy, proving that the Rabbi Jesus of Nazareth was indeed the long promised Messiah. In this sermon we discover seven such predictions that not only demonstrate the reliability of old testament prophecy but also glorify Jesus as the prophet, priest, and king who came into the world to seek and save lost sinners. The message highlights that this historic event lead toward the cross. the resurrection, how Jesus’ humble kingship ultimately triumphs over sin and death, and eternal life for all who trust in Christ.

Episode 272: AUDIO; PAUL PREACHED CHRIST TO ALL AND SO MUST WE

Though under house arrest for two years (Acts 28:22–31), Paul proclaims Christ and the kingdom “with all boldness and without hindrance.” Luke deliberately leaves Acts open‑ended (for example, there is no reference to Paul's final trial and execution) to show that the mission to the ends of the earth is 'unfinished business' and we today must imitate the Apostle in his unavoidable commitment to preach the gospel to all. This commitment is demonstrated in our passage as Paul meets with Jewish leaders in Rome, systematically proves that Jesus is the Christ from the Law and the Prophets, and explains that because many Jews reject the message, God’s salvation is now going to the Gentiles.

Episode 271: AUDIO; PAUL CHOSEN TO TAKE THE GOSPEL TO THE GENTILES (Gal. 7)

The outcome of the Council of Jerusalem was to vindicate totally the gospel that Paul preached among the Gentiles. Believers in Christ, whether Jew or Gentile, are justified by their faith and neither the requirements nor the provisions of the old covenant apply to them. Circumcision and “the law of Moses” have no place in the scheme of salvation, except as pictures of the spiritual truth revealed in Christ. Paul and the leaders of the Jerusalem church agreed to a division of work; Paul was to evangelize the Gentiles and they the Jews. This agreement, however, was no parting of the ways. It was based upon a common gospel, fellowship in Christ, and mutual respect.
