UNDERSTANDING EVANGELISM PART 1

Why is our evangelism so ineffective today? Is our evangelistic technique at fault? The parable of the sower (Matthew 13:1-9) helps to put our thinking straight, showing that the problem lies not in the seed nor with the sower but in the soils, namely, those we seek to win for Christ. The ultimate sower is the Holy Spirit, who alone can bring a person out of spiritual darkness into the light of the gospel, and all the technique we need is to preach the gospel in complete reliance on Him.

PSALM 2 PREDICTS THE RETURN OF CHRIST

The OT foretells the coming of Christ but did you know that it also predicts His second coming? In this episode we see that Psalm 2 does both, describing a thousand years in advance how Christ would suffer to secure the salvation of His people but also that He must return to rule the earth with an iron sceptre and carry out the final judgement. Lessons for us? Be ready for His coming on a daily basis, living Spirit filled lives for His glory.

THE TRUE VINE AND THE CHRISTLIKE LIFE

Chris Boraston shows how to abide in Christ as branches in the vine (John 15:1-11). Understand that Jesus is the true vine so shun imitations; obey His words; rely on Him in all things for the branch cannot bear fruit of itself; humbly submit to God's pruning. Finally, through the power of the Holy Spirit, yield fruit that pleases God .

MEN RAGE BUT CHRIST REIGNS

How can a sovereign God be in control of a dysfunctional world? How can we reconcile God's omnipotence with the rage of nations and the ungodly chaos we see around us? Psalm 2 provides prophetical answers to these questions, explaining what God has done about it by sending His King into the world and establishing His kingdom upon earth.

HOW TO HANDLE HERESY

Did you know that the Apostle Paul said heresies were necessary? In 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 he explains that they help us distinguish real Christianity from false. Discussing the Lord's supper he manages also to explore the nature of heresy and how to negate it.

FINDING THE REAL JESUS

Visiting preacher Chris Boraston asks "Where did Jesus come from?" and finds the answer in the prologue to John's Gospel. There Jesus is identified as the creator; as the eternal Son and second Person of the Triune God; as the Word of God; as the incarnate Deity; and as the one in whom the Father is revealed to human sight and understanding.

NEW PERSPECTIVES ON HATS AND HEADSHIP

Few NT passages have caused more contention and debate than 1 Corintians 11:2-16 which deals with headship and head coverings and has earned Paul an undeserved reputation as a misogynist. In revisiting this passage we discus what it really means and discover applications for churches and Christians today.

CHRISTIAN LIBERTY AND HOW TO USE IT

"All things are lawful for me" declares Paul in the opening verse of today's passage (1 Corinthians 10:23 -  11:1) and thus proclaims the grand theme of Christian liberty. But he spends his time explaining what it is and how we are to use it. We are to put others first, treat all people with courtesy as we seek to win them for Christ, and ultimately do all things to the glory of God.
