Sermon: The Power of an Invitation

The sermon is introduced by the text of Isaiah 2:1-3, where it is said, “Many people shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths” (vs. 3).

This indicates that in the Kingdom of God, invitations will be extended to others. We as Christians are responsible for extending that invitation. Practical applications include inviting people to worship services, inviting them to study the Bible, and inviting them to obey the gospel of Christ.

Sermon: A.D. 70 Doctrine: Lesson 2 – Introduction to Realized Eschatology

This is the second lesson of three designed to refute the A.D. 70 Doctrine. This doctrine asserts that all prophecy was consummated at the fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. Hence, the Second Coming of Christ, the resurrection of the dead and the end of the world all have already happened.

Lesson 2 is an introduction to Realized Eschatology with a special emphasis placed upon the error of Max R. King. He wrote The Spirit of Prophecy in 1971, and his writings and teachings are what have had the most impact upon churches of Christ.

The sermon is based upon a well known sermon chart, in which it is established that man must not go beyond the doctrine of Christ.
