Wednesday Night Bible Study 12-18-14 - DEPARTURES FROM GOD IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
The New Testament records examples of people departing from the Lord and his teaching. Many of that same multitude who saw many signs and whom Jesus miraculously fed near the sea of Galilee (Jn. .1-14) a few days later grumbled at his teaching in the synagogue of Capernaum, "turned back and no longer walked with him" (6.59-66). "So Jesus said to the twelve, 'You do not want to go away also, do you?' 68 Simon Peter answered Him, 'Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life. 69 We have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God.'” (John 6.67-69.) God does not want anyone to perish. (2 Peter 3.9). "...but for Cain and for his offering He had no regard. So Cain became very angry and his countenance fell. 6 Then the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? 7 If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it.” (Genesis 4.5-7). John describes some rulers who "believed in him, but for fear of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue; for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God" (12.42-43).
The Lord Jesus in the parable of the sower described the heart of the one on rocky soil. He explained, "As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away" (Mt. 13.20-21). The Lord Jesus predicted how "False christs and false prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect" (Mk. 13.22). God is not speaking to anyone outside the Scriptures today! 2 Timothy 3.16, 17. Jesus continues, "But take heed; behold, I have told you everything in advance." (Mk 13.22.)
Paul warned the elders of the church at Ephesus of "men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them" (Acts 20.9). Note the responsibility of elders in verse 28: "Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood."

Is There is a God? And Why Does it Matter?
As the Lord liveth, Whatsoever the Lord saith unto me, That shall I speak!
ALL Glory is due to the most high
Appreciate the message.
Such a simple message yet so profound.
When Jezebel was killed & was eaten by wild animals & all there was left was her hand's feet & skull. There was no giving her a proper burial. The only way they probably could've buried her was by wrapping her hands, feet & skull up in purple lennon cloths & burry her in a small cedar chest.
We were outside and it was 88 degrees, so you hear a fan in the background. Sorry about the poor audio.
I disagree.. they were prophets of the Lord but under a lying Spirit from an Angel in Heaven .. it says in the bible “is there not another Prophet of the Lord “ .. hence another.. why did u switch say otherwise?
They were Ahab prophets not God prophets. Jehoshaphat knew they were not God prophets that's why he ask Is there not not still a prophet of the Lord here, that we may inquire
The key here is in the emphasis...when Jehosephat inquired isn't there not another prophet of the LORD...the word LORD is in all caps indicating his discernment of the other men's credibility...Ahab had no intention of hearing from God he still had selfish prideful motives so he inquired of who would give him am answer he desired which pagan gods provided...and the one prophet that made the horns was a clear answer to who they were...the horns signified the horns of one of the gods the pagans worshiped and one of the depictions of baal was with horns.
A much needed message, thanks for sharing.

The taped Sermons and videos from the "Herald of Truth" with Dr.. Batsell Barrett Baxter have been restored by the Disciples of Christ Library in Nashville, Tennessee which had previously been stored at both the Hillsboro church of Christ in Nashville, Tennessee and the Highland church of Christ in Abilene, Texas. Many of the radio programs and early televised programs (both in audio, black and white and color) of the "Herald of Truth" radio and television programs can be located there. This includes many of the Sermons Dr. Baxter gave when he was the Minister at the Hillsboro church of Christ in Nashville, Tennessee. When the "Herald of Truth" was aired years back for many years on both radio and television, the program was nationally syndicated and could be heard all over the United States on the major networks. A shame such isn't the case today.
Amen
Dr. Baxter's father (Batselll Baxter) was the first President of George Pepperdine College in Los Angeles, California in 1939. He (Dr. Batsell Barrett Baxter) later also taught at Pepperdine and later became the Head of the Bible Department at David Lipscomb College in Nashville, Tennessee. In that position (which he held for many years) he was also the Minister of the Hiillsboro Church of Christ in Nashville, Tennessee where he served for many, many years until his death in the early 1980's.
Brother Batsell Barrett Baxter preached at Hillsboro, not Highland. :)
@@rll1954 Thanks for shaking my memory. It was at Hillsboro that I heard Brother Baxter years ago while at David Lipscomb College. Many of the churches had buses that served the students at DLC, and I generally went to either Charlotte Ave, church of Christ with Brother Mack Wayne Craig or at Hillsboro with Brother Baxter. If we missed a bus, we would go to Granny White near the DLC campus. I can remember the (red brick) building at the Hillsboro church of Christ being close to the street and with large columns on the front. Thanks for the clarification.
I think all of the Herald of Truth programs were produced through the Highland church of Christ in Abilene, Texas. I got the two names mixed up. I had hoped the old radio and television shows of the Herald of Truth programs could be put on CD's and sold in sets, but I don't that is available. Do you happen to know if any of those programs can be purchased anywhere?

I will take our small baptist church evening service tomorrow. A wise older lady came to me and said that people in our church need to know what sin is. I also know that people need to understand that Adam was a real person, the first Adam, and that unless they understand that and the fall into disobedience, they can't fully appreciate the 'Last Adam' and his sacrifice, paying the penalty. So I have been struggling all week to put the message together, and now with your permission I will base the sermon on yours. Normally I base my lay preaching on those sermons of the Rev Harold Cathey now retired of Unity Baptist Church, Ashland, Kentucky. I think the hardness of heart you describe is endemic in the white population of the UK, but there is a remnant. There is also a confusion of beliefs amount even the Christians I am in fellowship with, some are charismatics some Pentecostals in reality, some are evolutionists and don't believe that Adam was a literal person. Some into good works.
Enjoying hearing the word of God. My mom and dad are in here with me hearing this so you know I am not on here by myself. We miss you all at Adel Church of Christ. Look forward to a visit soon.
Hi this is Maggie from church Mr.Roger I like your video that u make about God and worship
Maggie Harris Hi Maggie! Thanks for your comments!
Thank you Brother Roger for sharing this sermon. I love you Brother, God bless. Give my greeting to our Church Family there.
Good to hear from you, brother Robert!
Great research. Only thing that bugs me is that no one tries to relate properly the nature of sin in our present/modern societies. I have studied certain scriptures of the bible (admittedly not all in every detail) and I have observed life through my experience of it, and have concluded that scriptures are true. I have also concluded that, just as in Jesus' day, and just as he and his followers warned, the scriptures are being misunderstood, misrepresented, and used to teach falseness by virtually everyone. It's difficult to define sin from these confusions so I would like to share what I have found about its true nature in this little short story. This story is biblical, although modernized, and true. Understand this: A Politician, a Scientist, a Businessman, and a Clergyman were all friends with each other. One day, they all saw many rusty and run-down neighborhoods filled with all kinds of homelessness and poverty: the angry people, the sick people, the ignorant people, and the hungry people; most of which will lose what little they do have should they even miss a single paycheck or two. The four were amazed at this, and so they all wondered why and how these people could do this to themselves and live this way; in such a depressed lifestyle without any kind of future security. The politician said, “They must not be ambitious” The scientist said, “They must not be educated.” The businessman said, “They must be lazy.” And the Clergyman said, “They must not know God.” And so, as they all wondered about this, a man was walking past on the side-walk, and so they decided to ask him, “Hey fellow, what’s with all of this poverty? Don’t you know that you don’t have to live this way? Why are you doing this to yourselves?” The man replied with a confused look on his face, “What do you mean? We didn't do this. You did.” Then the man added, “But since we have done all that you have required of us, soon we’ll get to share in the kind of wealth and abundance which you possess, putting an end to this poverty…right?” Thank you for reading

WHY DOESNT ANY BODY TALK MUCH ABOUT ELISHA...THEY ALWAYS LEAVE HIM OUT. Infact Elisha is most liken to Jesus.
So it's obvious to me that in order to be saved, we must do the will of the Father to be saved. Can you tell me what the will of the father is that we must do to be saved?
He was a kind man who I'll always remember as someone I always wished my daddy was like.
I Brother Leonard. Very good to see you spreading the seed of the Gospel here on the internet. I've earmarked this sermon to hear together with my dear wife probably tomorrow on 1-18-2014 when we will be home together that Saturday. Hope we get to meet in person sometime here in this life, but if we don't, then I'll meet you in eternity when our LORD is finished with us here on earth. Blessings to you and yours. Brotherly in Christ,
We received the cut out in the mail from this lady today, requesting a free Bible Correspondence Course!

Roger, I'm trying to contact you but can't get through your lock. Please send me a short message or allow me to get through to you as I believe we are both brethren in our Lord's Church/Kingdom. I preach it the same way you do. I've preached on Sundays many MANY years, and done secular work as a Registered Nurse and Paramedic but now having had major heart surgery, back surgery, and others am now disabled at age 60. You do a fine job of explaining the Gospel in your lessons here. Brotherly,Andy
Excellent lesson, Roger. Andy h.
