The Three Families Of Man

Is "family" important to you? - Of course it is! With this sermon by Phil Roberts, you learn more about families than you probably had previously realized. The concept of family includes more than mom & dad or brother & sister. Listen as we gain a greater understanding of God's view of family.

What Is The New Testament Church?

There are several ways to describe the Lord's church but the best description comes from the bible itself. This lesson by Phil Roberts gives us an excellent comparison of the New Testament church and what we see in existence today.

Different Types Of People

God made each and every one of us yet we are all different. We realize the church is made up of different types of people but we need to also realize each member is important. This sermon shows how God's design all works together.

Church Cooperation

Have you ever wanted to hear a definitive lesson along with presentation slides that could explain in a clear and concise way the differences between the Lord's church and denominations? How about a lesson about church autonomy, institutions and the sponsoring church arrangement? All of the above and more is included in this very important video.

The Perfect Church

Is the church where you attend the perfect church? Due to the fact that a church is made up of so many different people, the probable conclusion would be there are no perfect churches. Phil Roberts, with this sermon from 1999, describes for us the perfect church.

Images Of The Church

The History Of Institutionalism

About fifty years ago, when I was just a child, there gradually came to be known two slightly different churches and both were named the Church of Christ. This sermon covers that history and shows why it's so important to apply strict rules of determining authority with regard to the practices we adopt in the congregations of the Lord's church.

Speaker: Phil Roberts
Recorded: July 18th, 1999

Elders and the Early Writings

Our podcast this week is a little different from most sermons because it includes a well documented history lesson. Have you ever wondered what happened to the organization of the church that we read about in the New Testament and why it's so different from most churches in the religious world today?
With this sermon from 2002, Phil Roberts shows how the apostasy innocently began and although certain Christians were willing to even forfeit their lives for their understanding, a careful inspection of God's word shows they were wrong.

Speaker: Phil Roberts
Recorded: October 6, 2002

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.

Premillennialism

The vast majority of the "religious world" believes that Premillennialism is an accurate understanding of God's word. Most also believe in "The Rapture" but very few realize how far from bible truth the doctrine will take them. Phil Roberts teaches with this lesson the truth about Premillennialism and why it's impossible for everything to have a literal meaning.
