    The Traits Of Token Religion

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Jul 17, 2009
     | 2,976 views

    Just because someone attaches the word "worship" to a religious service, doesn’t mean that the term fits. This was often the case with Israel’s religous rituals. Sadly, it is often true of many church services in our day.

    The Traits Of Token Religion Text: Phil.1: 3-11 Intro: Today I want to focus on the thought mentioned in the second half of Philippians 1: 10. Paul tells the Philippians that he was praying that their love for Christ might continue to grow, resulting in knowledge, discernment, and sincerity. ...read more

    We can anticipate knowing people who once claimed to follow Jesus but then later decided to disavow Him. How do we account for this?

    History Repeats Itself (Hebrews 6:4-12 with Numbers 13-14) 1. Many people today are walking away from the Lord. How do we account for this? Many compliant but unconverted. Some may come to Christ later. 2. Many of those are not denying that Jesus is the Son of God; they just don’t care. 3. Some ...read more

    The sermon is about a severe warning reagrding the dire consequences for a person who has experienced the blessings of God and then willfully and finally turns their back on Christ.

    After calling us to press toward maturity, the writer of Hebrews explains the urgency. He presents one of the most sobering passages in all of Scripture. This is not a verse to cause fear in the heart of a struggling believer. Instead, it is a loving but stern warning sign, like a lighthouse on a ...read more

    Nineteenth Sunday in Course Year A 2023 St. Paul had a big problem. He’s putting together the first real systematic theology of salvation in his letter to the Church at Rome, but he’s run into a wall.

     | 4,283 views

    All four Gospels record an episode of the Apostle Peter denying Jesus three times on the night of Christ's betrayal in the high priest's courtyard. In each account, his first denial is in response to the challenge of a servant girl, Immediately following the third denial.

     | 240 views

    As long as the judge lived, the people worshipped God (sort-of), however, after the judge died, it didn’t take long for the people to fall back into idol worship and rebellion – “They refused to give up their evil practices and stubborn ways.” – and back into the spin they would go.
