Why Christians need to really understand Paul – audio sermon
People have said lots about what it means to be a Christian and had much also to say from the words of Paul. His writings have been used to allow for lax liberal attitudes toward sin, and on the other hand, people who are legalistic have also misunderstood him. Others have branded him a false teacher but that is wrong too. This sermon talks about these and offers a reconciliation between grace and law – and the purpose Paul was really driving at, which was to become like Jesus.

How the Protestant Reformation helped pull the rug out from under God’s desire for Christian unity – Audio sermon
The Protestant Reformation did many good things but also brought with it unintended consequences. One of these was the way the reformers from 1517 forward overwhelmingly approached the faith – and the precedents they established set the tone and defined the faith for those that followed to this day. Namely, many a Christian thinker has sought to delve into the spiritual work known as the Holy Bible with an intellect of the “carnal” mind. This carnal mind is the thoughts, biases, feelings and sensibilities of a person of the natural order, and not necessarily enlightened purely by the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:20 says false teachings (heresies) are one of the…
