Taylorsville Road Church Of Christ Podcast

Series: HymnsService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Eric ParkerMartin Luther wrote this hymn during the Reformation that has struck a chord to the present day. It's based on Psalm 46 and the protection God offers to His people, especially in times of difficulty. According to Scottish theologian James Moffatt this is, "The greatest hymn of the greatest man of the greatest period of German history."

Series: N/AService: Sun PMType: SermonSpeaker: Eric ParkerThe psalmist writes about the glory of God and how, in whatever circumstances, it is man's highest aspiration and greatest benefit to praise God.

Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Eric ParkerHow are we to properly understand the election of Christians? Is it unconditional or conditional? What insights does Ephesians 1:4 play on this discussion? All this and more in this short lesson!

Series: N/AService: Sun PMType: SermonSpeaker: Eric ParkerFrom and to what are Christian's called by God? How is this calling accomplished and what are Chrstians called to be? All this and more answered in this addendum to the morning lesson!

Series: Bible AuthorityService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Eric ParkerWhat role does “authority” play in your worship? How do we establish the authority of what we practice in worship? How does God communicate His will to us? Where does division come from? What can we do to avoid apostasy and commit to the authority of God and His Word?

Series: N/AService: Sun PMType: SermonSpeaker: Eric ParkerMore and more, worship to God has been replaced with rock concerts, spaghetti dinners, and pop psychology seminars. Worship though is sacred and invigorating when done God's way and with a proper attitude!

Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Louie TaylorLouie Taylor shares some reasons from the text of Revelation 21 on why desiring to go to heaven is the chiefest of all desires!

Series: N/AService: Sun PMType: SermonSpeaker: Steve SebreeWhen Jesus stilled the sea, He demonstrated many important features of His identity. But what did this look like? What would it have been like to be there? Steve Sebree shares some eye-opening insights!

Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Marvin WhittakerHow should believers cope with failures in their lives? Marvin shows us from the Scriptures that there are lessons to be gained and examples to be followed to cope effectively with failure. The examples he focuses on are: David, Elijah, John Mark, Peter, and Paul. This is a helpful and practical sermon for everyone!

Series: N/AService: Sun PMType: SermonSpeaker: Fred EcholsFred Echols, one of our caring and loving elders, gives us a challenging reminder that forsaking the assembly is a clearly defined sin and that developing a habitual practice of absenteeism is disastrous to one's spiritual health.

Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Eric ParkerThe Bible teaches unequivocally that there is an eternal destiny for all mankind. For those who acknowledge God, an eternity in Heaven; for those who refuse to acknowledge God, an eternity of torment. This is the only way biblically to understand Paul's words in 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10 - "the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire, dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, when He comes…

Series: N/AService: Sun PMType: SermonSpeaker: Eric ParkerEvery page of the New Testament is saturated with exhortations to growth and development. But what is the outcome of this growth? And what happens when we fail to grow? This subject is treated in a very special way by the Apostle Peter in 2 Peter 1:1-11.

Series: EvidencesService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Eric ParkerDespite the abundance of scientific information leading to the very reasonable conclusion that there is indeed a God and that God is the God of the Bible, many people will still not be receptive to the saving message of the gospel. It turns out that science was indeed not the obstacle, or at least that it isn't anymore after presenting evidence. The obstacle turns out to be the will acting in rebellion to God. In fact, many atheistic scientists will even candidly admit as much!

Series: EvidencesService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Eric ParkerLast week we demonstrated that the fossil record does not provide adequate evidence for macroevolution. In this lesson, we focus on the positive evidence for the Bible's account of Creation in Genesis 1 and the Flood of Noah in Genesis 6-8.

Series: HymnsService: Sun PMType: SermonSpeaker: Eric ParkerJames R. Cope, a gospel preacher, wrote this powerful hymn praising the King of kings and Lord of Lords. In its four verses, we are taken from the birth of Jesus to the ascension of Jesus, all while thinking about these events from the perspective of His kingship.

Series: EvidencesService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Eric ParkerIt is commonly stated that the fossil record proves macroevolution and disproves the Bible. But does this claim hold water? This first of two lessons demonstrates why knowledge of the fossil record is helpful in making a case for Christ. This lesson focuses on how the fossil record actually does NOT support evolution, but rather reveals it to be without factual support. The next lesson in the series will make a positive case for the validity of the Bible based on what IS actually shown in the fossil record.

Series: N/AService: Sun PMType: SermonSpeaker: Steve SebreeSteve gives us a great word study of the most important commandment from the old covenant and the new covenant - the Shema - "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength."

Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Eric ParkerCan a person be a Christian and not a member of the church? What does church membership consist of? Are there responsibilities? Is there a "program for membership"? These questions and more are answered straightforwardly in this lesson!

Series: N/AService: Sun PMType: SermonSpeaker: Eric ParkerOur occupations have profound impacts on our discipleship. For that reason, many factors must be considered with regards to our work. We discuss some of the most important factors and questions in both seeking out an occupation and deciding whether or not to remain in an occupation. It's an immensely practical lesson (and SHORT! :))

Series: EvidencesService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Eric ParkerAre dinosaurs a friend or foe of Christians? Many falsely believe that Christians can't or shouldn't believe in dinosaurs. This lesson shows the exact opposite. The lesson goes further by vindicating the coexistence of dinosaurs and humans, which the Bible affirms and the evolutionary worldview denies, by means of copious archaeological and historical evidence. It also briefly examines what happened to the dinosaurs, as well as two specific dinosaurs that are described in detail in the Bible.
