by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 2/25/2024) We began yesterday looking at “me-ology” versus theology. As we learned yesterday, “me-ology” is not a real word, but is a convenient way to refer to the worship of oneself. We learned how this self-worship began in the Garden of Eden with the Fall of Adam, and…
by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 2/25/2024) In the modern culture, “me-ology” is the prevailing religion, as opposed to theology! Theology is the study and worship of God, whereas “me-ology” is a made-up word referring to the study and worship of self. This is not a modern problem, however; men have been worshiping themselves…
by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 1/14/2024) In a previous message, Elder John Morgan Owens preached to us about biblical manhood. He told us primarily what a man DOES according to Scripture. Today, he moves deeper into the subject, and teaches us HOW a man should do those things that God requires. Join us…
by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 1/28/2024) As we continue looking at the topic of “burdens,” we go to the account of Jesus in the home of Martha and Mary in Luke chapter 10. Here we see Martha “cumbered about much serving,” while Mary sat at Jesus’ feet and listened raptly to His words….
by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 1/28/2024) As we began to see yesterday, there are many burdens in life. The most onerous burden of all is the burden of sin, which Jesus Christ Himself has borne on our behalf. But there are other burdens that we too often place upon ourselves in this walk…
by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 1/28/2024) In this life, we bear many burdens, don’t we? The burdens of life so often overwhelm us. But there’s one burden we should never try to shoulder ourselves: the burden of sin! Our sins have been put away as far as the east is from the west,…
by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 11/12/2023) Yesterday we began to see that our focus should be on the Lord, and not on the “stuff” of our lives. As we conclude the message today, Elder John Morgan Owens teaches us from Scripture how to re-focus on the Lord and His Kingdom. Download Audio File
by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 11/12/2023) In the book of Haggai, God (through the prophet) asks the children of Israel to consider their ways. They had begun the work of rebuilding the Temple, but then quit due to persecution. The work then stopped for many years, while they focused on their own houses…
by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 12/10/2023) What does it mean, to “be a man”? In the world’s way of thinking, a “real man” is aggressive, violent, and self-sufficient. But what does God say a “real man” is? In today’s sermon, Elder John Morgan Owens takes us through some examples from Scripture about how…
by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 9/10/2023) As we conclude today with this sermon examining the different degrees of faith, we learn that while some men do NOT have faith, others (who are children of God) do indeed have faith! And they exercise it in order for it to grow. In fact, there are…
by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 9/10/2023) The prevalent teaching in the religious world is that everyone has a kernel of faith, which they can exercise in some way to become a child of God. But what does the Bible say about this? In fact, the Bible teaches us that there are some who…
by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 10/29/2023) In the last post, we began looking at situations where people in the Scripture had nothing left within themselves. They faced desperate circumstances, with apparently no hope for deliverance – and yet, God delivered them! You see, when we come to the end of ourselves, we have…
