Mission, Universalism, Salvation

  Pastor Mark talks about the two main thrusts of Christian Mission and their implications. He then talks about Salvation as not just a future hope but a present reality.

Universalism is on the front burner nowadays thanks to Rob Bell, and Pastor Mark touches on this, as well, towards the end of the class.

Loosing the Shackles…

Note:

 It was just made aware to me that some of you might want more audio that is complete in just one track. For uploading into ipods or what not. I’ll work on making that happen.

Shackles, Salem, Massachusetts by David A's Photos  Jump for joy! by susan.williams61

This one will really tick some off.  Some really like the way shackles feel. They are used to them.

Yet others will be thrilled to be rid of those chaffing, restricting, cutting pieces of metal, in favor of the true freedom that we were meant to have. 

Loosing the Shackles #2               Loosing the Shackles #5

Loosing the Shackles #3               Loosing the Shackles #6

Loosing the Shackles #4               Loosing the Shackles #7

 

Loosing the Shackles – Complete class

 

If you hated this…oh well.

If you enjoyed it, pass it along.

 

Thanks!

Bible study

Bible teach bk. by otto be in pictures

 

Here’s section one of this study on how to read the Bible with understanding and other relevant themes. I’ll put up more of it fairly soon. This Bible study audio has a total of 23 tracks.

The sound quality is not great because we blah blah blah, yada yada yada… (who cares why?) … but it is good enough.

 

Total running time for these 9 tracks is around 30 minutes.

Bible study 3                              Bible study 9

“I Believe that I Cannot Believe…”

 

Can one come to believe in God by his or her own strength, effort, will, or reason?

Can you size Him up and make a decision for Him? Can you choose to make Him your ‘personal Lord and Savior’?

 

Find out what Luther said about it, here:

 ( it starts out a little fuzzy but clears up after 15 seconds – if you can give this one 10 minutes of your time, you will not regret it )
