A True Child in the Faith

1 Timothy 1:1-2

October 1, 2000 • Dr. Jack Hughes

In this sermon, Pastor Jack begins our study in Timothy by looking at Paul’s greeting. We’ll learn that God speaks to us through the apostles who wrote the Bible, that Timothy is a model for us to follow, and learn of a special blessing.

Keeping Error Out of the Church

October 8, 2000 • Dr. Jack Hughes

Ever since the church was born at Pentecost, 2000 years ago, it has had to fight many Battles over the truth. God gave us His divine revelation in the Bible, and ever since, the church has had to fight to retain the standard of sound words. Satan has unceasingly introduced destructive heresies into the church to corrupt the bride of Christ, to lead people astray, to steal glory from God, and to damn people to hell. In this sermon, we’ll learn why we need to keep watch and be on guard for the truth, so we won’t be led astray by false teaching.

How to Spot False Teachers

October 15, 2000 • Dr. Jack Hughes

In this sermon, we see learn how to spot false teachers. By contrasting the goal of true biblical teaching with false doctrines, Paul equips us to spot and identify false teachers more readily. We know that if we want to learn how to spot counterfeit money, we study genuine bills. In the same way, if we want to learn how to spot false teachers, we study the Scriptures.

The Lawful Use of God’s Law Part 1

October 22, 2000 • Dr. Jack Hughes

What is the lawful use of the law? What is the purpose of the Law? What is the relationship of the Law to sound doctrine, and the gospel? Are Christians to live without law, as a lawless group of self-guided independents? Christians have struggled with this subject since the church was born. On one extreme there are those who don’t believe any of the Old Testament, or the gospels, apply to us because those are writings came from the Old Testament era before Christ died. In this sermon, Pastor Jack teaches us three very important concepts about the law that the false teachers didn’t understand, but which we do need to understand: the lawful use of God’s law, the purpose for God’s Law, and the relationship between sound teaching and the Law.
