An Introduction to the Trinity #2

Last time, Pastor Don Green began a message titled, An Introduction to the Trinity. He provided a working definition for us, with the caveat that God is so far beyond what we human beings can fully grasp, that we should not be surprised we see Him through a glass darkly. There is one true God who eternally exists in three Persons. Today, Don will take us further into what the Scriptures have to say on the subject. So open your Bible...

An Introduction to the Trinity #1

Do Christians believe a contradiction when we accept God's triune nature- We are accused of believing in one God, yet three. --Pastor Don Green will set the record straight, as he offers An Introduction to the Trinity, the latest installment of our series, And the Word Was God.

My Lord and My God #2

That title is, of course, derived from the apostle, Thomas, who upon touching the hands and side of Jesus, finally came to the full realization that here was God, Himself . . . in the flesh. This is the same realization all believers come to once the Holy Spirit removes our spiritual blinders. --Today, Pastor Don Green will discuss the glory Jesus shares with the Father, and we'll also look at the manner in which Christ receives worship. So have your Bible open to the Gospel of John.

Complete Authority #2

Last time, Pastor Don Green began a look at the Bible's complete authority by showing us two of four foundational qualities of the Scriptures we need to be aware of. The Bible is God's revelation, and it is inerrant. Today, Don will add that the Bible is the final authority and is complete, meaning, it's all we need. So open your Bible to Psalm 19.

Our Lord did things that only God could do in performing miracles, forgiving sin, and especially, raising the dead- Open your Bible once again to 1 John 1...

The Narrow Path to Heaven #4

Last time, Pastor Don Green showed us three aspects of salvation, those requirements that Jesus spoke of to enter through the narrow gate. We were reminded that salvation is found only in Jesus Christ, that it requires deep repentance, and that it leads to affliction. So why follow so difficult a path- Don has the answer from Scripture today. So have your Bible ready to study...

The Narrow Path to Heaven #3

There is a shallow evangelism fashionable in the church today. It invites people to come to Christ to solve problems in this life, and offers all love without repentance and holiness. And on this edition of The Truth Pulpit, Pastor Don Green shows us why that evangelism does not point a soul toward the narrow gate that leads to life in heaven.

The Narrow Path to Heaven #2

We're continuing our series, Finding the Way to Heaven. Last time, Don began considering the broad path that leads to destruction in hell. We saw that such path is wide enough to contain all false religions, simple indifference, and even professing nominal Christians whose lives are no different from the world. On today's broadcast, Don will contrast this wide gate, to the narrow one that leads to heaven. And of course, Jesus identified Himself as that very gate. Open your Bible to the gospel...

The Narrow Path to Heaven #1

Jesus spoke of the narrow gate that leads to life vs. the wide gate that leads to destruction. Can we be sure which path we're on- Well, on this edition of The Truth Pulpit, Pastor Don Green points us to Scripture for assurance, as he begins a series titled, Finding the Way to Heaven.

Is there anything in our experience by which we can compare the Triune God- Well, people have tried various comparisons, but as Don will show us today, they fall short- Some well-needed clarifications are on the way. Have your B...

The Triune God #1

Perhaps no biblical doctrine has confounded more critics than that of the Trinity. How can God be One, yet three, they protest- Well, as Pastor Don Green will teach on this edition of THE TRUTH PULPIT, that question arises out of a fundamental ignorance of Scripture.

The Character of God #2

We're moving further into our series, The Attributes of God. Last time, Pastor Don Green began a message titled, The Character of God. Don gave us the first two of five aspects of God's moral character- God is good and God is love. From those qualities come grace, mercy, long- suffering and kindness. On today's broadcast, our teacher will add God's Holiness and more. So let's get into the Word of God...

Why do you trust God- Because He is trustworthy, based on His revealed and demonstrated character. And it's that magnificent character Pastor Don Green will examine on this edition of THE TRUTH PULPIT as we continue our series, The Attributes of God.

The Power of God #2

We're continuing our series, The Attributes of God. We've looked at God's unchangeable nature, as well as His omniscience and wisdom.

On today's broadcast, Don will tie God's will and power together with the concept of sovereignty. So open your Bible, and let's join Pastor Don Green ...

The Power of God #1

God's power is undeniable. After all, He only had to speak and the universe came into existence out of nothing- We're continuing our series, The Attributes of God. And Don, you'll be talking today about God's ability to do whatever He pleases, while also showing us things He CAN'T do.

The Mind of God #2

We're continuing our series, The Attributes of God. Last time, Don began looking at The Mind of God. He talked about God's omniscience . . . that God knows all things, including everything about Himself. And He has ALWAYS known all things. Today, we'll delve into the wisdom of God, and we'll get a working definition of it. So have your Bible ready to study, as we join our teacher now in THE TRUTH PULPIT.

The Mind of God #1

When you consider the thinking that went into sending men to the Moon, the intelligent minds required to accomplish the task were monumental. Then think about this vast universe and the intricacy of life, and realize it all derives from one omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and intelligent God- It's staggering, to say the least- The Mind of God is Pastor Don Green's focus today on THE TRUTH PULPIT.

The Nature of God #2

Last time, Don began a message titled, The Nature of God. We saw that God has both communicable and incommunicable attributes. The former has some basis of understanding in human nature, like love or truth. But the latter is impossible to fully grasp as finite creatures. So Don showed us that God is invisible and independent, having no material visibility, cause or beginning. Today, Don will add the considerations that God is infinite and immutable.

The Nature of God #1

Agnostics claim you can't know if God exists, but if He does, you can't know anything about Him. In this, they completely ignore God's revelation of Himself through Scripture. And today on THE TRUTH PULPIT, Pastor Don Green does turn to the Bible to begin taking a look at The Attributes of God. In this series, we'll gain insight into the mind, power, character, and tri-unity of God. But on this broadcast, we'll begin by looking at His nature.

The Practice of Biblical Fasting #2

Last time, Pastor Don Green drew our attention to fasting in the New Testament. He pointed out that while Jesus expounded on prayer, he de-emphasized fasting. That's worth noting. On today's program, our teacher will show us what the New Testament has to say about food, as it sheds further light on the subject of fasting.

The Practice of Biblical Fasting #1

Previously, Pastor Don Green noted that fasting was practiced in the Old Testament in times of great distress. Jesus, Himself, fasted, as did the apostles. But are we commanded to do the same today- Don will begin with the important reminder that God is favorably disposed toward us as believers, so that fasting cannot actually increase that disposition. So have your Bible handy...

The Purpose of Biblical Fasting #2

Last time, Pastor Don Green provided a definition of fasting- A mournful, urgent seeking of God in life's most distressing circumstances. When no earthly power suffices, fasting can indeed be Biblically appropriate. But Jesus warned against the Pharisees' practice of fasting just to look spiritual. On today's program, our teacher will focus on the protection of fasting that Jesus gives. So have your Bible open...

The Purpose of Biblical Fasting #1

Biblical fasting is a discipline we in the 21st century are not too familiar with. How should it be done, if at all- And what is its purpose- Pastor Don Green will provide answers right here on The Truth Pulpit.

Why Do We Pray if God Knows Everything?, Part 2

Last time, Pastor Don Green offered the first two of three good reasons to do so- We pray, first of all, because the Bible commands it. Secondly, we pray because God uses prayer to bless us.

We'll also be reminded to beware of perfectionism in prayer. So with your Bible at the ready.
