The Effective Christian Life Is Purposed, Part 1

Romans 12:1-2
Have you ever asked yourself: Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going? Why am I here? Mankind has long wrestled with  these four fundamental questions of life, but the answers can only come from a biblical, Christian worldview. Harry Reeder examines these foundational questions and answers as we begin our new series Seven Essentials in the Christian Life. Stay with us now as Dr. Reeder takes us to: Romans 12:1-2 and brings us today's teaching ... PART 1 of his message entitled: The Effective Christian Life Is Purposed.

The Word of God in Portrait and Practice

Hebrews 4:11-13
In years past, a soldier wielded his sword and put it back in its sheath when the battle was over. God's Word proclaims that it is sharper than any two-edged sword – but it never mentions anything about its sheath or scabbard. God's people are always in battle, so you must constantly wield the Sword of the Spirit as you fight against the enemies of your soul. Stay with us now as Dr. Reeder takes us to: Hebrews 4:11-13 and brings us today's teaching ... his message entitled: The Word of God in Portrait and Practice.

Th Word of God: Its Sufficiency, Part 2

2 Timothy 3:16-17
“The B-I-B-L-E, that’s The Book for me, I stand alone on the Word of God, the B-I-B-L-E.” This simple children's song actually expresses a profound theological truth. We are to stand on God's Word alone – even if it means standing alone against the world – because standing on the Supremacy and Sufficiency of God's Word alone is the same thing as standing in Christ alone. Stay with us now as Dr. Reeder takes us to: 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and brings us today's teaching ... PART 2 of his message entitled: The Word of God: Its Sufficiency.

The Word of God, Its Sufficiency: Part 1

2 Timothy 3:16-17
You wouldn't feed your children potato chips and candy bars for dinner, and yet many churches feed their people the spiritual equivalent of junk food – a steady diet of personal anecdotes, pop culture references, and theatrical presentations. God's people need the nourishing milk and meat of God's Word – the clear communication of divine revelation in Holy Scripture. Stay with us now as Dr. Reeder takes us to: 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and brings us today's teaching ... PART 1 of his message entitled: The Word of God: Its Sufficiency.

The Word of God, Its Nature: Part 2 B

2 Timothy 3:16-17
The quarterback throws a pass into the end zone ... the sure-handed receiver makes the catch...both players do their part and score a touchdown. Well, in Acts 17 we see a “preaching touchdown” as the Apostle Paul faithfully proclaimed the Word of God, and the Bereans received Paul's words with all eagerness, and examined the scriptures daily to see if what he told them was true.

Petition #1: Honoring the Holy -- The Sanctity of God

Matthew 6
In Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare wrote, “What’s in a name? A rose by any other name smells just as sweet.” But the Bible ascribes great significance to names – and in particular, the Name of God. Join Dr. Harry L. Reeder on InPerspective as he explores what the sacredness and sanctity of God’s Name reveal to us about His nature, character, and attributes.

The Word of God, Its Nature: Part 2 A

2 Timothy 3:16-17
Martin Luther wrote, “I will trust in God’s unchanging Word, till soul and body sever; For though all things shall pass away, His Word shall stand forever.” Despite fierce opposition, Luther staked his life on the all-sufficient, unchanging Word of God. We can greatly profit from God's Word by prayerfully hearing it faithfully preached, and personally studying it diligently and regularly.

The Word of God: Its Nature, Part 1B

2 Timothy 3:16-17
An expert mechanic needs to know how to handle his tools properly – and the same is true of every believer. God has given us His divinely-inspired Word and we would do well to heed the Apostle Paul's words to Timothy, “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.” Stay with us now as Dr. Reeder takes us to: 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and brings us today's teaching ... the SECOND HALF of his message entitled: The Word of God: Its Nature (Part 1).

The Word of God: Its Nature Part 1 (2 Timothy 3)

You can buy a toothbrush, toothpaste, and mouthwash – but you will still wind up with cavities if you don't actually use them. The Apostle Paul writes that “All Scripture is profitable” – but it will never be profitable, beneficial, and useful to us unless we actually read it, study it, meditate upon its truths, and faithfully sit under its preaching. Stay with us now as Dr. Reeder takes us to 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and brings us today's teaching—The Word of God: Its Nature Part 1.
 

The Word of God: Its Origin Part 2 (2 Timothy 3)

Many people claim that the Bible is not God's Word, but a man-made book of religious myths and legends. But the Bible itself does not leave this possibility open to us, for it makes this remarkable claim about itself: "All Scripture is breathed out by God and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness." Stay with us now as Dr. Reeder takes us to: 2 Timothy 3:16-17and brings us today's teaching … PART 2 of his message entitled:The Word of God: Its Origin.
