The Church Of Christ

The sermon just added to the Antioch Podcast is titled "Church Of Christ". With this lesson from 1991, Phil Roberts explains the origin and biblical meaning of the phrase "church of Christ". We learn that it's not a denominational title but rather a descriptive phrase of all followers of Jesus that have been baptized into Him.

The Church As The Family Of God

There are many ways in which God has chosen to describe the church. One of those ways is by comparing the church to our earthly families. With this podcast, Phil Roberts delivered a sermon years ago in 1998 that we recorded originally on cassette tape. Though the tape had deteriorated, we were able to salvage and amplify the audio.

Phil Roberts shows the wisdom of God as he explains the similarities between the church and our family along with various ways the church as well as our our families can be improved.

Words That Describe The Church

Most people would agree that a great way to learn more about something is to compare it to things you're already familiar with. The church is and has always been a part of God's plan. This sermon by Phil Roberts gives an explanation of the true meaning of the church by using things we're familiar with as described in the scriptures.

The Banished Son

In the Old Testament there's a comparatively little known story about unrestrained love and obsession that led to uncontrollable vengeance. This true story, that reads like a soap opera, evolves into a story of a father and his undying love for a rebellious son.

As you listen to this story and begin to touch base with such strong human feelings, you're amazed when the speaker reveals that it has a very understandable and compelling spiritual meaning.

Summary of The Book Of Hebrews

The book of Hebrews explained to Jews the details of the transition from the Old Covenant to the spiritual reality of the New Covenant. Hebrews is the best book of the bible for explaining the connection of the physical forerunners we read about in the Old Testament to the spiritual realities we read about in the New Testament.

To properly understand a book of the bible, a bird's eye view can be very helpful and this summary by Phil Roberts is a clear, concise and to the point explanation.

Summary of The Book Of Isaiah

The book of Isaiah, located in the middle of the Old Testament, is very daunting when you attempt a thorough study. Phil Roberts with his extensive Old Testament knowledge gives us a solid thirty minute summary of this book. Listen several times to this overview and then challenge yourself to study the book in detail.

Strangers And Pilgrims

Have you ever been in a foreign country? If you have, you know it's a weird feeling and you're amazed at how different things are compared to home. You also realize that you don't really fit in as well as you would like. When you're totally focused on heaven you begin getting that same feeling even in your own country here on earth.

This is a sermon from 15 years ago by Phil Roberts that explains all the details and all the reasons why it's normal for we that are Christians to have that feeling.

Stewardship

Stewardship is a word we don't use very much but it simply means our oversight of things that have been placed under our control. What we often fail to see is just how many things God has placed in our hands. This is not only a problem I have had but something we all wrestle with from time to time. Are you a good steward?

Standing Up For Right

We've all heard the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego that was thrown into the furnace but still survived. The thing that makes this sermon different is that it not only tells the story but more importantly, Phil Roberts explains the bigger picture and gives us the spiritual significance.

Something that's also amazing is his accuracy with a discussion he has in this sermon about the direction this country is traveling in.

Necessary Inference and Melchizedek

Bible believers have discussed the importance of biblical implications for almost as many years as they have discussed the mystery surrounding Melchizedek. With this interesting sermon, David McClister explains and demonstrates both.

Sin Causes Death

"When sin appears, something dies!" The previous statement is the theme of this week's Podcast. It is sometimes difficult to grasp just how terrible sin is and the damage it has done and continues to do. This lesson explains in detail the things that die because of it.
