If we churches just preached this message and nothing else we would see the power of God unto salvation for the American people again.

[Phil-oymw]

Anybody from the Apologia Team reading this thank you for explaining how we are to live in Christ and what our baptism is supposed to symbolize ☺️

[emmysrandomcrafts]

Yall it happened, the thing which none could predict or comprehend, a rare and unexpected occurrence which we have been stunned and graced with. Jeff Durbin doing a sermon less then an hour long, not only that, less then 40! A 35 minute sermon. This most likely will never occur again. 🤯

My Pastor's sermon last Sunday on Samson's flirting with temptation with Delilah was very convicting for me. Then I see the title of this sermon, and I'm here to be convicted again! My wayward soul needs it.

Brother Jeff.. you just messed up.. Your congregation and elders just found out you are able to preach a sermon that is less than 1hr and 15 min... lol... Just kidding brother! What a blessing that you had so many baptisms today. May Christ be glorified and honored!

[StargateDav]

This truly inspires the grand spark and almighty breath of Christ within us all, this sermon makes me want to move to Arizona and join up with your fellowship church, we all shall do great mighty works against evil and the devil to nourish our peace with God the father, only through believing in Jesus Christ, THE lord of all lord and king of all kings!

I love the brethren at Apologia and pastor Jeff, who delivered a wonderful sermon.

I just finished watching the video of Jeff talking with the Roman Catholics, whom he referenced in this sermon and I was amazed when the young lady brought up something I had been thinking about myself. She didn’t quite articulate it fully (or maybe she wasn’t actually saying what I thought she was saying) but the question was never answered. So when I saw this sermon, I thought for sure it would be addressed here… sadly, it was not.

I would really like to hear the explanation of why, in Calvinism, Spiritual death is treated differently depending on what you are dead in/to… I.e., when we are dead “in sin, ” we are incapable of responding positively to the gospel message of Jesus Christ. In fact, the Holy Spirit must first regenerate us, make us alive then He gives us faith in Christ (So, in Calvinism, we are saved TO faith not saved THROUGH faith contrary to the very passage referenced). Yet, when we have been buried with Him, we have died “to sin” and are raised to new life, we don’t have the same application of death wherein we are unable to positively respond to the temptation of sin. And if we take the Calvinistic definition of Jesus being a Perfect Savior seriously, that is if we apply it consistently, and if we apply the concept of deadness consistently, then shouldn’t those whom the Father elects and calls, the Son redeems and the Spirit regenerates and in-dwells then be truly dead to sin and no longer be burdened by the sin nature?

I am genuinely curious about the Calvinist response to this apparent contradiction in their theology. And I am not arguing for sinless perfection nor am I wondering how Calvinist can believe that Christians can still sin, since it is clear in the passage that that is the case. I am asking how they justify the disparate application of the same word, when in the context of Romans dead clearly does not mean completely unable to respond but it is taken to mean completely unable to respond elsewhere, when the passage does not clearly define it as such. Be blessed!

Im getting desperate for a congregation. I may have to just move to join apologia.

[djashovel]

as a Christian.
I've had a lot of nihilistic feelings and thinking for a long time, and it's worse because i'm Autistic. And since I'm autistic, the way my life has been. The way my life has been.
For most of my short life. Has almost felt like a Jail And even when I had My job. I just always felt like my life was meaningless, and it was doing nothing that my life.
He's just wasting away, achieving nothing, being nothing, and being stuck where I live.

I often feel Julius, Caesar. Because he When he read about the conquest of alexander the great He cried Because everything he had done in life was nothing compared alexander and his short life Alexander did something to get himself remembered forever And caesar realized At that point in his life. He would be forgotten and never remembered. And from those feelings gave birth for Caesar's desire for conquest. And to be like alexander

I have often Pleaded with God for years. Or just strictly told him I hate my life But I wish I could live in the past. Live a different life in be like that was great, conquerors and generals and warriors of the past.

I'm a history nerd and I love conquest I could fit more into the past Then I would in the modern world

I am not ignorant what I say because I'm a historynerd and I know how people lived I've I know more about history than people know about their own languages.

I have just wanted a life that had more meaning and had more things for me to do And and not have a life that turns to dust

I just know I could have done more if I was given a chance In a different Point in history I just know There were so many lives I could have lived.

( And please for everything holy Do don't say I need to accept Jesus into my heart or become born again. It gets so tiring Hearing that

I know my salvation Thank you very much)

[wallacefootrot]

I hope one day all churches are united as one body of Christ where we do not comdemn one another but build each other up.

Honest question and not coming from a place of Judgement. Simply curious:
Why do you preach with a long sleeve shirt and roll them up?

[ShuwshanEmeq-xbmk]

Then the Lord said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have Me in this generation.

For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the Lord, to do righteousness and justice, that the Lord may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.”

Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”

Then it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to observe all these commandments before the Lord our God, as He has commanded us.’

Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in His eyes.

For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

The Lord shall judge the peoples; Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, And according to my integrity within me.
Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the just; For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.

If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?

The Lord tests the righteous, But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.

He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart;

The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous; And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful.

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.

A little that a righteous man has Is better than the riches of many wicked.

Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them,  For they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

Who justify the wicked for a bribe, And take away justice from the righteous man!

Ezekiel 33:1-20

Then you shall again discern Between the righteous and the wicked, Between one who serves God And one who does not serve Him.

for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it,  and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him; but tax collectors and harlots believed him; and when you saw it,  you did not afterward relent and believe him.

There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias,  of the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
