Battle for God's Truth

"Amazing how our own sinful flesh, the world, and Satan wait until we are the most vulnerable to launch their all-out attacks to tempt us to discard caution, discard our love for Christ, discard our reliance upon gospel promises, and to discard our own consciences for the passing pleasures of sin, isn't it? Depression and Temptation are often partners in this regard. A depressed person can so easily become discouraged and weary. The discouraged and weary are prime targets for that unholy trinity of enemies: the world, the flesh, and the devil. The peace with Christ that starts the war with sin will be its fiercest not when you are joyful and at peace, but rather when you are sad, discouraged, weary, and worst of all: when you feel lonely and forsaken by people and by Christ. It is in these moments that we are the most called upon to walk by faith and NOT by sight." - Pastor Patrick Hines ▶️Bridwell Heights Presbyterian Church http://www.bridwellheightschurch.org/ ▶️Reform...

The Building of a Woman and the First Marriage - Pastor Patrick Hines Sermon 18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.” 19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all the livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him. 21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. 22 And the Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. 23 Then the man said, “At last this is bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called ‘woman,’ Because she was taken out of man.” 24 For this reason a ...

Creation in Six Days - Pastor Patrick Hines Sermon Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. "for by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or rulers, or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him." Colossians 1:16 1 Now faith is the certainty of things hoped for, a proof of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old gained approval. 3 By faith we understand that the world has been created by the word of God so that what is seen has not been made out of things that are visible.

Good Questions about Justification, Works, and Falling Away / Answering Email - Pastor Patrick Hines 1 It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. 2 Look! I, Paul, tell you that if you have yourselves circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you. 3 And I testify again to every man who has himself circumcised, that he is obligated to keep the whole Law. 4 You have been severed from Christ, you who *are seeking to be justified by the *Law; you have fallen from grace. 5 For we, *through the Spirit, *by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love. (Galatians 5:1-6) 22 "Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many *miracles?' 23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew y...

The Battle for Contentment - Pastor Patrick Hines Sermon "11 Not that I speak *from need, for I have learned to be *content in whatever [circumstances] I am. 12 I know how to get along with little, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every [circumstance] I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. 13 I can do all things *through Him who strengthens me."
