Missionary Evangelist Robert Breaker talks about the importance of preaching FAITH IN THE BLOOD, like it says in Romans 3:25, and how he was taught this at Bible Institute, and how many today don't preach it anymore, and some even preach against it. He gives proof that he was taught this and that others used to preach it as well. In fact, it's been preached for 2000 years. And, it's been the main Baptist doctrine taught until many Baptists changed in the 1800s. But, Charles Hadden Spurgeon did not change, and chose to stand on the message of faith in the atoning work of Christ. Bro. Breaker explains "The Down Grade Controversy" and how Spurgeon separated himself from the Baptist Union of his day which changed from preaching the atonement to preaching something else. Robert talks also about how he left a church because he too saw them changing the message of FAITH IN THE BLOOD to something else.

In this episode of LaidOPEN, I'm joined by Gabrielle Felder, author of The Five Blessings of Ifá. We talk about returning to spiritual lineage, writing about Ifá as a living oral tradition, and what it meant for Gabrielle to publish this work after being raised Baptist. She shares how being on ancestral land in the American South changed her relationship to history and belonging. We explore Oshun and Obatala, gender expansiveness in Yoruba cosmology, burnout and joyful militancy, and how to remain spiritually grounded in times of cultural instability. LaidOPEN offers intimate conversations at the intersection of sexuality, spirituality, and relational healing.

U.S. civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson has died aged 84, according to a Feb. 17 announcement by his family. The cause of death was not immediately revealed. Jackson, a Baptist minister raised in the segregated South, became a close associate of Martin Luther King Jr. and emerged as one of the most prominent black political figures of the late 20th century. He twice ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in the 1980s.The second round of indirect nuclear talks between the United States and Iran ended in Geneva, Switzerland. Iran's foreign minister says Tehran and Washington have reached an understanding on key principles. He says there have been positive developments compared to the previous round, adding that both sides will now work on draft documents and exchange them. He also cautioned that the progress doesn't mean an agreement will be reached soon.

Grant had roots in both Baptist and Assemblies of God congregations, and went on to seminary to prepare for ministry. While there, he was introduced to the Church Fathers, who had a very different view of Baptism than the one he'd grown up with. Seeing that they treated it as a sacrament made him wonder if his view of Communion was also out of step with historic Christianity. After serving seven years in ministry, as both a children's and student pastor, Grant ended up coming home to the Catholic Church.

Does the doctrine of the Union of Christ and the Church mean that there is never a place for criticism towards the Church?

We hope these podcasts help impress the Word of God into your everyday life. Episodes are hosted by Josh Hussung and Scott Patty.

The rich young ruler had everything our culture values - wealth, youth, and power - yet he walked away from Jesus sad and empty. When Jesus asked him to sell his possessions and follow Him, the man couldn't do it because his possessions had captured his heart. This story reveals that salvation isn't about keeping commandments or being good enough; it's about recognizing we cannot save ourselves. Jesus wants our hearts more than our obedience, and He calls us to examine what we love more than Him. The question isn't whether we have much or little, but whether our treasure is in heaven or on earth.

In this concluding portion of the message, Pastor Benjamin Winslett continues examining the preeminence of Christ and the place He rightly holds in the hearts and lives of His people. Scripture not only calls us to confess Christ as King, but to live in devoted loyalty to His kingdom above all earthly attachments. Looking to … Continue reading "What Has The Preeminence, Part 2"

Jesus' identification with his disciples in their persecution is rooted in the doctrine of his union with his church. This great gospel reality comforts us in all our affliction and instructs us in how we relate to the church. Christ's union with his church keeps us faithful and hopeful to the end. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God's grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.

What is a Reformed Baptist Church? Pamphlets, booklets, and sermon series have been produced to answer this question for decades. Although their presence online may indicate large numbers, this would be mistaken. If the visible church is likened to a tree, how did the Reformed Baptist branch shoot out? What is the good, the bad, and the ugly, especially in North America in the last and present century? Have you visited a Reformed Baptist local church before? What was its ethos? Gird your loins as we scratch the surface on what a Reformed Baptist Church is.

In this stirring episode, we examine how modern culture often elevates celebrity over substance — even in places where truth and historical depth should matter most. When a college history book gives more attention to pop icons than to the foundational figures of our nation, it reveals something deeper: we are forgetting where we came from, and what once held us together.We look back at the profound moral expectations held by early American leaders, who understood that character, discipline, and virtue were essential for any people seeking freedom. Their convictions stand in sharp contrast to the confusion and moral drifting we see in society today.But this isn't just a history lesson — it's a spiritual wake‑up call. Scripture reminds us that “Now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.” The signs of the times point us to one truth: Jesus is coming soon.This episode urges listeners to:Rediscover the truth of their historyHold fast to biblical foundationsRecognize the urgency of the hourStrengthen their walk with ChristIt's time to open our eyes, awaken our hearts, and stand firmly on God's Word.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Pastor John continued our Established series by showing how easily we place God in second rather than surrendering fully to Him. In 1 Samuel 4–6, we're reminded that anything we rely on for control, approval, power, or comfort will ultimately fail us. The invitation this week is clear: lay down every rival and let God truly be first.

This weekend we've just had Valentine's Day – for some it's very much a romantic occasion, but for many others the day isn't anything to celebrate at all – it compounds their sense of loneliness. In this week's programme the guest presenter Richard Littledale, a retired Baptist minister and a writer and podcaster working in Colwyn Bay, explores the subject from a personal perspective. Nine years ago his wife Fiona died of cancer and loneliness has been a fact of life for him ever since. During the programme, Richard visits a café, a farm and a hospice and talks to a psychology student who's has battled loneliness. And, Richard introduces us to a polar bear called Arthur.

Series: Heart For The Nations — Preacher: Colby Garman

Pastor Jonah Sage preached from Luke 2:21-52. He said that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 

Our culture celebrates tolerance and avoids hard conversations, but true love does not ignore what destroys. This passage teaches us that purity is not about restriction, but protection.

[1 John 2:1-6] Part 4 of "1-3 John: Letters of Gospel Assurance"

The sermon presents a transformative journey through the Beatitudes in Matthew 5, framing Christian happiness not as worldly pleasure but as a divine joy found in spiritual disciplines. It emphasizes three foundational trails: humility (poor in spirit), contrition (mourning over sin), and meekness (restrained power), each rooted in biblical examples like David and Peter, who experienced deep repentance and divine restoration. The preacher underscores that true happiness comes not from self-exaltation but from a broken spirit, continual repentance, and the restraint of power, illustrated through historical and personal stories of spiritual renewal. The message is both convicting and comforting, calling believers to daily self-examination, humility, and reliance on God's grace, with the promise that such lives will inherit God's eternal kingdom. Ultimately, the sermon affirms that God honors those who walk in humility, mourn over sin, and exercise meekness, as seen in the everlasting reign of Christ and the enduring legacy of the meek.

The sermon centers on the tragic story of Cain from Genesis 4, using his life as a sobering illustration of the consequences of pride, unrepentant attitude, and spiritual distance from God. It emphasizes that being in God's presence does not guarantee a right response, as Cain's rejection of God's preference for Abel's blood sacrifice revealed a heart lacking humility and contrition. The message underscores that God's correction is rooted in love, not condemnation, and that unresolved anger and hatred—even without physical violence—are spiritually equivalent to murder, as taught in Scripture. Through a call to self-examination, the preacher urges believers to cultivate a broken spirit, repent quickly, and remain in God's presence, where joy, strength, and true fellowship are found, warning that rejecting God's grace leads to a life of exile and separation, as Cain ultimately chose to say, 'I'm out,' rather than 'I'm in.'
