The Light of the World #2

Last time, Pastor Don Green highlighted the ROLE of light bearers -AKA- Christians-. Today, Don will focus on our RESPONSIBILITY. You'll get a very important reminder in the message, namely that God did not save us to have a comfortable easy life. Rather, He saved us for the important purpose of shining our light into a dark world, pointing the way to Jesus Christ.

The Light of the World #1

Light has a purpose, and that is to illuminate. It does not exist for itself, but to show the way to others. The symbolism our Lord uses in the Sermon on the Mount couldn't be clearer- WE, believers, are the light of the world, here to illuminate God. And that's Pastor Don Green's topic today on THE TRUTH PULPIT.

The Salt of the Earth #2

Last time, Pastor Don Green established that salt was historically used as a preservative to slow the decay of rotting meat in the absence of refrigeration. In a similar fashion, Christ calls believers to inhibit the spread of sin around us. Don emphasized the Reality of Christian Influence, in that is an expected result of salvation. Today, he'll cover The Rejection of Christian Imposters. So have your Bible open..

The Salt of the Earth #1

Jesus, in the Sermon on the Mount, identifies true believers as The Salt of the Earth. Many commentators have different takes on His meaning, but as Pastor Don Green will point out on this edition of THE TRUTH PULPIT, you must look at the overall context to get a clear picture. We'll do just that, as we begin a series titled, Surprising Impact.

Confident Evangelism #2B

In the series, Pastor Don Green has given us several truths to keep in mind as we proclaim our faith in Christ- Remember the sufficiency of the Scriptures, the seriousness of the sin that renders unbelievers deaf and blind to spiritual truth, and lastly, we must remember the saving power of the gospel. On today's broadcast, Don will add two more truths, as well as four sub themes that will help in your witness.

Confident Evangelism #2A

When you set out to bear witness of the gospel to an unbeliever, do you feel all alone and overwhelmed- You should not- And on this edition of THE TRUTH PULPIT, Pastor Don Green reminds you that with your Savior ever-present, you can stand in utter confidence-

Confident Evangelism #1B

On today's broadcast, our teacher will look at the seriousness of sin and how it renders unbelievers incapable of understanding the gospel. In the process, we'll be reminded again of the indispensible role of the Holy Spirit in evangelism, without whom it would be altogether impossible.

Confident Evangelism #1A

Are you terrified to evangelize for fear you don't know enough facts- Do you think you need the debating prowess of a master attorney to even get started- Well today on THE TRUTH PULPIT, Pastor Don Green will set you straight- With the Bible in hand, you're fully equipped-

A Cry for Vengeance #2

Last time, Pastor Don Green looked at the first verses of Psalm 94 and identified a prayer for vengeance, meaning asking God to fulfill a promise to vindicate His people. Then we moved into a warning to the wicked contained a bit later in the Psalm. That then led to a promise to the righteous. On today's broadcast, our teacher will take us to the closing verses. So have your Bible at hand...

A Cry for Vengeance #1

The Bible tells us that vengeance belongs to God, but does that mean we should never pray for it- Psalm 94 is just such a prayer, and Pastor Don Green will explore it today on The Truth Pulpit...

A Refresher on Parenting #4

As our series, A Refresher on Family continues, we come to part four of a message on Christian parenting. Don has presented four of six principles to keep in mind as you raise your children- Be calm, consistent in authority, consistent in love, and, be present at home. He has also called our attention to Deuteronomy chapter 6, verse 7 where God instructs parents to teach His ways, -when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.- You can't do tha...

A Refresher on Parenting #3

What does it take to be the perfect parent- OK, that's a trick question, because in this fallen world, there's no such thing- But God's perfect Word can move us in the right direction.

A Refresher on Parenting #2

Last time, Pastor Don Green began A Refresher on Parenting. He introduced the first couple of points to keep in mind as you raise your children in a godly manner- Be calm and be consistent. The same God that assures you of salvation unto eternal life, also equips you for every task he lays before you. Even when you feel clueless, God is still very much with you. Today, Don will further describe the kind of love parents should always show to their kids, a love that exhibits both grace and disc...

A Refresher on Parenting #1

There are few higher callings than parenting- God gives parents the privilege of stewarding a life from birth to adulthood, reflecting the love of Christ through it all. But it's also one of the tougher assignments in life. How can we live up to it- Pastor Don Green helps you answer that question, as he offers the first part of A Refresher on Parenting.

Live Q & A on Prayer

Why do we pray, if God is all knowing anyway- How specific should we be in our prayers- And why invoke the name of Jesus after every prayer- These are just a few of the questions people often ask on the subject, and ones, among others, you'll hear answered today on THE TRUTH PULPIT.

A Refresher on Prayer #2

Last time, Pastor Don Green got us started on a message titled, A Refresher on Prayer, part of the series, Inside Your Prayer Closet. He gave us the first three of six principles to keep in mind as we pray- we should remember the authority of Christ in prayer, cultivate a spirit of repentance, and seek to pray better rather than longer. On today's program, you'll hear the final three principles having to do with priorities, blessings, and warnings. We'll start out in Matthew 6, so have your B...

In the Secret Place #2

Last time, Pastor Don Green began a new series on prayer with Part One of a message titled, In the Secret Place. Don looked at how our society emphasizes self-promotion and getting noticed as a priority. In contrast, the Bible exhorts us to seek not the approval or attention of others, but rather to please God. Today you'll be challenged to check your motives for prayer and to consider what reward you should be looking for. Turn again to Matthew, chapter 6

In the Secret Place #1

When it comes to prayer that is pleasing to God, a couple of questions must be asked- Why do we pray and how do we pray- Is it to seem pious to others- Or does it flow out of love and devotion to God- Well, on this edition of THE TRUTH PULPIT, Pastor Don Green examines what the Bible has to say about the proper attitudes in prayer, as he begins a new series titled, Inside Your Prayer Closet.

Wisdom for This Mortal Life #2

Last time, Pastor Don Green looked at Psalm 90, offering the first two of three points to consider. This prayer of Moses emphasizes both the eternality of God and the mortality of man. Today, Don will present Point number three- The humility of prayer that should be the result of accepting those realities. So have your Bible open and ready...

Wisdom for This Mortal Life #1

In the grand scheme of things, life is like a blip- we're here one minute, and gone the next. Psalm 90 considers that fact in light of God's eternal nature and then suggests a way to live accordingly. And that's where Pastor Don Green will take us today on THE TRUTH PULPIT, as we continue our series, Here You May Safely Dwell.

In the Midst of the Storm #2

Last time, Pastor Don Green gave you the first two of three things to focus in on when you approach God in prayer for relief from life's turmoil- Affirm that God's power will help you, and that His love guarantees He will deploy that power on your behalf. Today, Don will offer a third point that, stated simply, entails the word, -ask.- Have your Bible open again to Psalm 138.

In the Midst of the Storm #1

When the disciples were out on that boat with Jesus on the Sea of Galilee, and the storm threatened to overtake them, they cried out, -we are perishing-- They seemingly forgot who was in the boat with them- How often do we do the same, when the storms of life batter us- Pastor Don Green will take us to Psalm 138 to see how we should approach God amidst turmoil.

God, This Hurts #2

Many people try to medicate or drink their guilt and anxieties away, missing the opportunity to come to the Lord in repentance and prayer. But as David did in Psalm 38, throwing yourself on God's mercy results in grace, comfort, and help. TheTruthPulpit.com

God, This Hurts #1

Is there any silver lining in suffering- Well, David found one that we can see in Psalm 38- The mercy of God- And on this edition of THE TRUTH PULPIT, Pastor Don Green will lead us in a study of it, as he presents a message titled, God, This Hurts. TheTruthPulpit.com

What Happens When We Die #2

When it comes to fairy tales or good stories, everybody seems to love a happy ending. -Happily ever after,- is a familiar phrase that's derived from that sentiment. And thankfully, when it comes to the very real fact of life and death, a true happy ending is in store for believers in Jesus Christ.

What Happens When We Die #1

It's the age old question- what happens after you die- Do you cease to exist, or is there life after death- Well, thankfully, the Bible gives us the answer, authenticated by the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ- But there is a caveat- it all depends on your position in Jesus Christ.

Who is Satan #2

We're in the midst of a series called, Key Questions Answered, and last time, we began looking at the question, Who is Satan- We learned that he is a supernatural deceiver and a sadistic destroyer. Today, Pastor Don Green will complete the picture of this great enemy.

A Psalm of Trust #2

Last time, Paster Don Green focused on God as our shepherd, reminding us that we do not walk through this life alone. Rather, a shepherd is guiding us to places of nourishment and peace. He directs our steps to bring about His purposes to His glory. Today, in Part 2, our teacher will consider how God is our protective host, assuring us of His protection if we are in Him. It is a truth that should ensure an absolute trust in God. So have your Bible open to Psalm 23...----http---www.TheTruthPul...
