The Significance of Pentecost

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 00:00:00 EST

Saturday, February 6, 2010 Host: Alex Dodson Jesus instructed His disciples to take the gospel not only to the people of Jerusalem and Judea but even to Samaria and to the ends of the world. John Calvin comments, "Christ orders that, the wall of separation being broken down, they should make of both one body, that His Kingdom should arise in every place." Not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles were they to go. In every place, Christ was to be proclaimed and His Kingdom established. Today, we are under the same command.

The Significance of Pentecost

Sat, 30 Jan 2010 00:00:00 EST

Saturday, January 30, 2010 Host: Alex Dodson Jesus died on the cross. He rose from the dead and He ascended into Heaven to the right hand of God the Father. From there He received the Holy Spirit from the Father and poured out the Spirit on His disciples at Pentecost. Jesus went away but He sent the Holy Spirit in His name to be with His church and empower her for her great task of world evangelization.

Uniqueness of Jesus' Teaching

Sat, 23 Jan 2010 00:00:00 EST

Saturday, January 23, 2010 Host: Alex Dodson Jesus was no ordinary teacher. He did not teach like the scribes. He taught with His own authority and did not have to refer to the authority of others as the scribes did. The teaching of Jesus was unique because He was God in the flesh. He was bringing to the people the teaching directly from God for He was God.

Building a Good Foundation

Sat, 16 Jan 2010 00:00:00 EST

Saturday, January 16, 2010 Host: Alex Dodson The Sermon on the Mount teaches us how we are to live as Christians. True faith produces good works. As we live out the Christian life, we have this sermon to guide us in our daily living. Jesus tells us that if we follow His teachings, we will be able to stand and we will have a good foundation against all the storms of life.

Beware of a False Testimony

Sat, 09 Jan 2010 00:00:00 EST

Saturday, January 9, 2010 Host: Alex Dodson False prophets as well as false professors are not so much detected by what they say but by the fruits they produce. This applies to both how they live and the doctrine they teach. A person who professes to know Christ but lives like everyone else in the world gives evidence of a false testimony. His life should be different. Also, his doctrine should be tested by the Scriptures to see if it be true. If we know the truth, we cannot easily detect a counterfeit. So, we need to watch both life and doctrine closely.

Why Don't We Hear the Weeping

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 00:00:00 EST

Saturday, January 2, 2010 Host: Alex Dodson One of the greatest lacks in our nation today is the lack of weeping. Where is the weeping over sin? Our nation is sick with sin. Yet, there is no weeping. In the great revivals of the past, there was weeping everywhere. There was great conviction of sin. Today, such conviction hardly exists. May God bring us to our knees and may we once again hear the weeping.

The People's Savior

Sat, 26 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST

Saturday, December 26, 2009 Host: Alex Dodson John Calvin wrote, "In conclusion, he is showing that God has at heart the salvation of all men, for He calls all men to acknowledge His truth….it is certain that all these to whom the Gospel is preached are invited to a hope of eternal life." The gospel invites all to come to Christ for salvation for He is the Savior of the world. It is to Him that the peoples of the world need to look. Only He can give true hope to the peoples of today's world.

The Message of Christmas is for All People

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST

Saturday, December 19, 2009 Host: Alex Dodson Today, many try to silence the message of Christmas and saying "Merry Christmas" has been replaced with "Happy Holidays" as the politically correct greeting. Yet the message of Christmas was meant to be for all people to hear. Instead of being silenced, it should be shouted from the house tops.

Recognizing False Prophets

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST

Saturday, December 12, 2009 Host: Alex Dodson Jesus warned us that false prophets would come. He said they would be like wolves in sheep's clothing. In other words, on the outside they would appear to be true prophets, but on the inside they were not. Jesus taught us that we will be able to know them by their fruits. Their fruits include their way of life and also their teaching.

The Narrow Gate

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST

Saturday, December 5, 2009 Host: Alex Dodson The world does not naturally seek such a narrow gate. The world prefers a much broader way without the constraints of acknowledging and obeying God. Yet, those who do acknowledge God and believe His Word will find the life that is truly life.

The Longing Heart of Jesus

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST

Saturday, November 28, 2009 Host: Alex Dodson Jim Zumwalt in his book Passion for the Heart of God writes, "His Shepherd heart compels Him to leave the ninety-nine and head for the mountains to find the wayward one. Joy comes with finding the one lost sheep, and in great excitement, He calls for His neighbors and friends to come and rejoice with Him." Jesus has a longing heart for lost sheep.

Remembering the Pilgrims

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST

Saturday, November 21, 2009 Host: Alex Dodson William Bradford wrote concerning the Pilgrims, "They had a great hope and inward zeal of laying some good foundation, or at least to make some way thereunto, for the propagating and advancing of the gospel of the Kingdom of Christ in these remote parts of the world, though they should be but as stepping-stones unto others for performing of so great a task." The Pilgrims came to America for a purpose and God blessed their efforts. Let us not forget what they did.

Efforts to Reach the American Indians in the Early Days of America

There are different opinions on the relationship of the early settlers of America and the Indians who lived here when they arrived. One author writes, "Even if Americans have idealized and romanticized the Pilgrims and their struggles in a strange new land, that first flush of goodwill between the settlers and Native Americans was short-lived…"...
