| 86-01-11 Confrontation vs Authority |
How should the church deal with a bad guy? Politics, money, power, and abuses in the early church and how they were dealt with. The tactics wolves use in a congregation. People will use anger, ridicule, and condescension to intimidate. One approach in handling them is to appeal to authority – report to the minister – and why this is the worst solution. Peter did not disfellowship Simon Magus. Instead he directly confronted him, which is the Biblical method. A grass-roots, basic, low-level, direct confrontation is best – never in anger or resentment, but in humility, with logic, no emotion, and for the sake of the person. Ideally, this is done as soon as possible, and private, personal. Every part of the body matters; don’t neglect problems. |
| 86-07-13 The Day After |
What should I do the day after baptism? This sermon was given the day after 13 people were baptized. It takes time for a seed to sprout -- parable of the sower and how we can change the soil! The importance of fellowship, doctrine, breaking bread. Faith can only exist in the face of doubt, therefore faith takes courage. God gives power at baptism, but requires us to make decisions with the goal of building righteous character. The role of the law after baptism and the importance of us embarking on the road to righteousness. This sermon contains tremendous spiritual encouragement to the newly baptized in preparation for the trials that are sure to come. |
| 86-10-11 At One With God |
Atonement sermon. How Jesus & the Father can be One and how we can be one with Them. What it means to be one. To share God’s power, His will, and His sacrifice, something in us has to change. As we are reconciled to God, we are reconciled to each other. The Leviticus 16 ceremony. |

| 86-11-29 Friday Crucifixion? |
An excellent harmonization and summary of the gospel accounts surrounding the crucifixion and the resurrection. Four independent witnesses and their importance and legitimacy. Addresses: 3 days and 3 nights; Buying/preparing the spices and the Sabbath; "Today is the third day since these things happened". |
| 86-12-13 Destructive Pride |
|
| 8607 New Testament Passover |
|
| 8611 The Power of Love |
|
| 8623 Your Present Saviour |
An outstanding set of parallels between the Egyptian slavery/deliverance and Christian slavery/deliverance. For example -- Neither set of people were worthy of being saved; God sent the deliverer while the people were still enslaved; several more. Addresses being saved not only from the consequences of sin, but from sin itself; While were yet sinners; Saved by His life; Handwriting of ordinances. |
