Sovereign Grace Family Church

I'm excited to go back to the first of the series.

I really enjoyed the topic and format of this episode. This was very informative with nice sprinklings of humor. I really appreciate this podcast.

Excellent!

Love the introduction of the pastor & the closing. Great sermon, as usual. 🦋Rejoice❣

Thanks that was very helpful.

It is real love to warn and give the gospel, its hate, not tolerance to NOT to tell the gospel. Thankyou Pastor

THANK YOU Pastor Keith!! What a great series! This is helping me so much.

Good sermon. Thanks!

I agree with your message. At one time I was a member of the Churches of Christ, and also an Independent Christian Church. That was many years ago. Today there is another group that broke away from the Church of Christ, and that is the International Churches of Christ. They seem to have a "salvation by discipleship" belief and practice. That is, they still strongly hold that baptism is essential to salvation, at the moment of baptism you're saved. But FIRST you have to be a disciple of Jesus Christ when you are baptized...though lost until baptism. They base this on the reading of the Great Commission in Matthew. Maybe some have heard of this. Anyway, in the late 1980's the Boston COC was rebaptizing their members because of this new false doctrine. And that's when the mainline COC broke fellowship with them because "they changed the nature of baptism" to quote the mainline COC. And the Boston COC and related churches were retrained and eventually became the International COC. I know, sounds confusing. POINT IS they went beyond salvation by works which was bad enough. Instead, it's more like salvation by discipleship (yeah, still works but on steroids).

McCausland stated "... bringing the gospel to the front in darkened Europe from different quarters and men living miles apart."And unlike today where confusion comes from heretical teaching, they all preached the same message for the most part and the outcome was the same.May God give us that same passion for truth.

Thanks for fine tuning the hearing. I learned a lot from this teaching and listened for heaven's sake. Only yesterday, a friend, whose son is gay, said that she recognized homosexual tendencies in him when he was only three years old. Therefore she believed he was born gay. Why was the problem not recognized at his birth?

This presentation provides ample evidence of the mercies of God at work at the time of the Reformation, in bringing the gospel to the front in darkened Europe from different quarters and men living miles apart. SDG

Touched my heart

Such a clear warning against living for pleasure and unconcerned for your fellow man. Anything that comes to us easy is not valued, hence the growth of the church when going through persecution.
