#SBFCSW “Redemptive-Historical Preaching: Pros and Cons”, Pastor Steve Garrick

Andrew J. Nicewander — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 16:04:01 +0000

A Proposed Form of Preaching

1.) Preach Meaning of the Text

2.) Summarize Theological Core Idea

3.) Expound and Prove this Idea

Via analogy of Scripture
Show how this idea fits with the character of God, salvation, redemption, etc.
This allows our hearers to see how this passage and its applications stem from your salvation

4.) Apply this idea considering your hearer’s spiritual state (among other criteria)

#SBFCSW “Preaching Christ from the New Testament”, Dr. Tom Ascol

Andrew J. Nicewander — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 03:01:45 +0000

Sermon Poetry – “Salvation’s Found Alone in Christ”
Preacher – Dr. Tom Ascol

Come look what God has done in Christ
He sent His Son to live and die
He died for us, so you and I,
Can praise His Holy Name

Salvation’s found alone in Christ
The Bleeding Savior from on High
Be covered by His sacrifice
And love the Son of God

Because of Christ I strive to be
A vessel so that men might see
How Jesus Christ has love for me
Sweet Jesus, give me strength!

The Doctrines that I hold as true
Are false without my Savior who
Came to this earth for me and you
I praise His Holy Name

#SBFCSW “Preaching Christ from the Old Testament”, Dr. Fred Malone

Sermon Poetry – “Give Me Eyes to See My Christ”

Oh that I was a man on the road to Emmaus
Hearing my Savior explaining the Word
How my heart would be burning, my ears would be tingling
Such beautiful grace of our glorious Lord
Lord, help me see Christ in the sacrifice
Of innocent sheep sweet and pure
Lord, help me see Christ in the prophecy
The Savior to come right and true

Oh to have understanding of all of the Scriptures
When Scriptures inform me of what Scripture says
My Savior’s the center of all Revelation
The center and purpose of life and God’s plans
Lord, make me submissive and worshipful
To sing praises of Your kind name
Your word tells of Christ and Your holy love
It tells me of Christ and the Cross

Oh that I would see Jesus in the Word God has given
In shadows and visions and prophecies true
To see Christ in Scripture, the whole of the Scriptures
The Covenant Old and the Covenant New
Lord humble this son as I say the words
I desperately need Jesus’ Love
Kind Father, I thank you for sending Christ
The Sacrificed Lamb that I love

NOT LIVE

Some Thoughts (from others) about SBC 2009

Andrew J. Nicewander — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 02:23:32 +0000

Below are some links to some thoughts from the SBC 2009.

Of interest is the list of things that Michael Spencer notes over at Internet Monk. Of those, item #6 stands out:

“The patient teaching of the Gospel and church-centered theology by the Founders Ministries and 9Marks has paid off in more fruit than can be put in a basket. Hundreds and hundreds of young people, hungry to hear how to build a Gospel centered, God honoring, missionary focused church. It is astonishing. It may not be revival, but it is a solid outcome that will make a huge difference for a small number of churches.”

Nothing effects change (in terms of human understanding) than faithful, patient, plodding, grinding, constant persistence. Now, may the change that has been effected by Founders and IX Marks be Spirit-directed, Christ-focused and God-honoring.

“Growing the Local Church” – Devotional Psalm (Pastor Christ Marley)

Andrew J. Nicewander — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 21:27:50 +0000

Great devotional on Psalm 118 by Pastor Chris Marley. Below are some of the notes that I could type, as well as some pictures and the video.

update: The mp3 is now available.

God’s Elect are not exempt from turmoil
- the Christian’s life grows from suffering
- Sometimes there are storms from within as well as from without

Psalm 118:18
- God will discipline us, but never give us over to spiritual death.
- He chastens His Church, but does not give her over to death

Pastors need to preach the Truth from the Pulpit (great line, “It’s not like we’re running for governor!”)

We need to keep calling ‘em back to the Cross. Christ and Christ alone, there is no other entrance into the church, there is no other way to be saved.

God has chosen the Styrofoam of the world (us) to glorify himself

Barring any mishaps, I hope to provide a live-video stream of the upcoming SBFC-SW conference through ustream.tv. The first message is on Thursday at 3:30 PM CT, and I’ll post a link to our ustream.tv page, as well as have an embedded video right here on the blog, for anyone who cannot attend and who would like to watch the messages. I’ll also save the videos after the broadcast, and will make them available to view at a later date.
