  1. The Son of Man

    The Son of Man

    Most people avoid controversy. The secular world tells Christians to keep their faith to themselves. However, Christians cannot. Christians confess Christ openly. Furthermore, the faithful have the firm foundation to defend the faith. Even critical scholars admit that Jesus professed to be the Son of God. As Lewis presented, Jesus is either lunatic, liar, or Lord. The answer to many is quite clear. Jesus is the Lord. He is the Son of Man. This message encourages Christians to challenge the world with Jesus's question, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?"Scripture Reading: Mark 14:60-62 (read by Christopher Howell)Lesson by Scott ShifferdRecorded December 9, 2018 at the Dean Road church of Christ in Jacksonville, FL

  2. The Preeminence of Christ

    12/03/2018

    The Preeminence of Christ

    A person’s understanding of God shapes how that person views the world. The apostle Paul wrote a young church in Colossae seeking that they be filled with the knowledge of God’s will, so that they may walk in way that is pleasing to God. For this reason, Paul emphasized the preeminence and greatness of Jesus Christ. Seeing the greatness of Jesus Christ keeps one from blending the traditions and philosophies of human wisdom with the gospel. Viewing the world through Jesus Christ keeps believers from false teachings. This message encourages all Christians to give Christ preeminence in every part of one’s life.Scripture Reading: John 1:1-3,14 (read by Phillip Bailey)Lesson by Scott ShifferdRecorded December 2, 2018 at the Dean Road church of Christ in Jacksonville, FL

  3. Seeing God's Breath

    Seeing God's Breath

    In the last days, people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, and lovers of pleasure. They will have an appearance of religious devotion and yet deny God’s power. Paul spoke this warning telling Timothy how evil people and imposters will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. Within this context, Paul affirmed that every Scripture is God-breathed. The Bible is the product of men moved by the Spirit and speaking by God. Christians need the Scriptures to confront the deception in the world and proclaim the gospel by convincing, correcting, and encouraging others. This message proclaims the vital importance of the Scriptures for teaching and every good work.Scripture Reading: II Peter 1:20-21 (read by Steve Berg)Lesson by Scott ShifferdRecorded November 25, 2018 at the Dean Road church of Christ in Jacksonville, FL

  4. When the Son of Man Comes

    When the Son of Man Comes

    Most people avoid being judged. We seek the comfort, security, and acceptance of loved ones. However, no one will be able to escape judgment for our wrongdoing. Judgment day makes sense that all the wicked and evil acts ever done will come to a reckoning before the holy God. Jesus proclaimed various times of the coming of the Son of Man who will repay each person according to what each one has done. Jesus even depicted God separating the blessed and cursed according to their acts of compassion toward His brethren. For this reason, Christ preached that His disciples are to lose their lives, take up their crosses, and follow Him.Scripture Reading: Matthew 19:28-30 (read by Justin Hirt)Lesson by Scott ShifferdRecorded November 11, 2018 at the Dean Road church of Christ in Jacksonville, FL

  5. Being a Disciple of Christ

    11/05/2018

    Being a Disciple of Christ

    People grow in their experiences with others who model, coach, and teach them. According to the Bible, a disciple is someone who receives such instruction from a teacher. Most people stop closely following Christ because it costs too much. Many have simply given up on being a disciple — a Christian. This study encourages believers to live lives as disciples of Christ starting with some basics of being a disciple of Christ according to Jesus’s own words.Scripture Reading: Luke 14:15-24 (read by Gene Bryant)Lesson by Scott ShifferdRecorded November 4, 2018 at the Dean Road church of Christ in Jacksonville, FL

  6. Taking Every Thought Captive

    10/29/2018

    Taking Every Thought Captive

    The governor Festus thought that Paul was out of his mind for his faith in Jesus Christ. However, Paul proclaimed the gospel of Jesus's death and resurrection, and urged all to believe. This sermon will present the uneven ground for which we try to tell the gospel to the world. Unbelievers suppress the truth about God in unrighteousness. Unbelievers also assert arguments and lofty opinions from authority. Their view of God is always slanted. For this reason, Christians direct unbelievers from a right view of God to the gospel of Jesus's death, burial, and resurrection.Scripture Reading: I Peter 3:14-15Lesson by Scott ShifferdRecorded July 8, 2018 at the Dean Road church of Christ in Jacksonville, FL

  7. Salvation Together

    10/22/2018

    Salvation Together

    The Bible tells of Christians receiving salvation together when Jesus returns. Those who are living will change to immortality and the dead will resurrect in glorified bodies. The redemption of the body and the freedom of creation to glory is the Christian hope. This lesson draws from the Scriptures revealing the hope and wonder of Jesus’s return. For this reason, the apostle Paul encouraged Christians with words of Jesus’s coming and exhortation to live awaken and sober lives.Scripture Reading: I Corinthians 15:51-53 (read by Justin Hirt)Lesson by Scott ShifferdRecorded October 21, 2018 at the Dean Road church of Christ in Jacksonville, FL

  8. Christians Need Each Other

    10/15/2018

    Christians Need Each Other

    Most people are looking for security and significance in this life. God through Christ satisfies those personal needs more than any other. God gives each person love and purpose. Furthermore, God fulfills these needs through Christians — the church. The Bible reveals that every person needs a close relationship and community of believers in the church. The writer of Hebrews warned of the evil and unbelieving heart that falls away from God by the deceitfulness of sin. His answer is that Christians encourage one another daily. This message presents the need of every person for the community of believers — the church.Scripture Reading: Galatians 6:1 (read by Phillip Bailey)Lesson by Scott ShifferdRecorded October 14, 2018 at the Dean Road church of Christ in Jacksonville, FL
