Mammoth Spring church of Christ

As we continue to think about the Scriptures, this episode begins to consider the internal evidence of the inspiration and authority of the Bible. As a Christian, I will always appeal to the authority of the word of God. While there is much external evidence for the Scriptures, we start by looking internally. Give a listen!

With this episode, I start a series to consider how we got the Bible. This is material that I'm teaching on Sunday nights at Mammoth Spring. I hope this series helps to build your faith in the inspiration and completeness of the word of God. Give a listen!

The church is made up of homes and the word of God reveals a very simple plan for marriage and the home. In this episode, I read an article from 2016 that discusses three points in connection with God's design for the home. Give a listen!

Digging back into the archives of FCGN, I found this article from September of 1981. It was written by Harold Turner and addresses a topic that is often very personal and has become controversial. The controversy comes not from what Jesus said, but from what men do with what He said. Give a listen!

Psalm 130 is a beautiful and hopeful passage! Every person struggles with sin and the guilt that is associated with it. The psalmist gives us hope in this matter by discussing the nature of God and the redemption He offers. Give a listen!

That's a big word! Transubstantiation is the doctrine that, when the unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine are blessed by an ordained priest, they become the "real presence" of the body and blood of Christ. Does Scripture warrant this conclusion? Give a listen!

This godly woman is often cited as "proof" that a female can serve as a deaconess in the church. Is there any evidence to warrant such a conclusion? Is that what Paul was teaching in Romans 16:1-2? Give a listen!

I suppose we've all heard Romans 3 read and then applied to Christians. That is a terrible use of that passage and a misunderstanding of what Paul was doing! Do Christians sin? Yes! Are they sinners? No! Those are two different questions and we need to understand that. Give a listen!

In our faith and practice, that it - what we believe and do in the name of God, can we find it in Scripture? Jesus asked this question to those who were questioning His authority n Matthew 21. This is a question that we should be asking too! Give a listen.

A popular statement in the religious world is that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. The question is, does the Bible teach that? Is salvation by anything alone? And, what does "alone" mean? Give a listen!
