1 Peter 3:21 – Is Baptism A Public Declaration?

| August 8, 2015

If baptism is just a public demonstration of faith, just an outward sign of an inward grace, then why was the Ethiopian eunuch baptized in a deserted area with no other believers than Philip? Why not go back to Jerusalem to be public before 5000 plus disciples? Why was the Philippian jailer baptized in the […]

Colossians 3:16; Ephesians 5:19 – What, No Instruments?

| August 4, 2015

The reason the Winston-Salem church of Christ does not use instrumental music in our worship to God is the same reason why we don’t build arks. Noah was told to build an ark, Christians were not. Physical Israelites were commanded to use instrumental music. Christians were not. Unlike physical Israel, Christians don’t have a physical […]

Romans 1:18-20 – Necessary Inference

| July 31, 2015

When discussing how to establish authority, some have given up on commands, examples, and necessary inference (or better implication). If you see the acronym CENI, that is what this is. One common way to disparage it is to ask the seemingly unanswerable question, “Necessary to who?” The point then is made, what is necessary to […]

Sermon – The Teacher Who Believes in Me

| July 31, 2015

Let’s being with a story about no one most have heard of, Teddy Stallard. It begins as an all too common story about a teacher and student. Although we are going to make a different application, I want us all to do a little self-examination: 1) How we view others out of the church; 2) […]

Romans 1:18ff – What Does God Require?

| July 31, 2015

What God requires of us takes honesty. God requires that we recognize reality. Upon recognizing reality we respond. The reality is He is the Creator and we His creation. Everything stems from that reality (Rom.1:18ff). Just think of how many sins deny the image of God within us, within all.

Genesis 1:1 – Kepler 452b

| July 31, 2015

It’s a good thing I am not a scientist because many of them confuse me. Recently a new planet, Kepler 452b, has been discovered that supposedly can sustain life. In fact scientists have been looking for planets capable of sustaining life assuming all life must be comparable to life on earth. Isn’t that a flawed […]
