John Piper - Future Grace of Faith, Part 1 and 2

This is a lecture classroom setting and a little less structured, but wow, talk about content, clarification and power. Especially the ending of part 1 where he explains how faith sanctifies. Worth the listen.

Mark Dever - Faith that Works (The book of James)


Mark Dever is known for many things, but especially in regards to his 9 Marks ministry and that he has preached each book in the Bible in its entirety in 35 minutes. He has amazing ability to grasp a whole and preach it, which with books like James may not be as tough as something like Revelation, Leviticus, or Malachi. I have read the prophets in hjs Old Testament commentary and all of the New Testament Commentary that he has written and they are very well done. In light of the theme of the week being faith alone, I thought this would be a great sermon to listen to, which picks up faith in action.



More about Mark Dever!


Mark Dever, Author and Speaker
Mark Dever serves as the senior pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, DC. Since his ordination to the ministry in 1985, Dr. Dever has served on the pastoral staffs of four churches, the second being a church he planted in Massachusetts. Prior to moving to Washington in 1994, Dr. Dever taught for the faculty of Divinity at Cambridge University while serving two years as an associate pastor of Eden Baptist Church.
In an effort to build biblically faithful churches in America, Dr. Dever serves as the executive director for 9Marks (formerly The Center for Church Reform, CCR) in Washington, D.C. 9Marks encourages pastors of local churches look to the Bible for instruction on how to organize and lead their churches. Dr. Dever also teaches periodically at various conferences, speaking everywhere from South Africa to Brazil to the United Kingdom to Alabama. Feeling a deep burden for student ministry, Dr. Dever often addresses student ministry groups at campuses throughout the country. He has also taught at a number of seminaries, including Beeson Divinity School in Birmingham, AL, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY, and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, IL.

Charles Spurgeon - Sovereign Grace and Man's Responsibility

Charles Spurgeon speaking on grace via the written word. A great sermon. I included the last paragraph here, and gave you the link to read the whole thing! Enjoy!

Sovereign Grace and Man's Responsibility

Now, with regard to myself; you may some of you go away and say, that I was Antinomian in the first part of the sermon and Arminian at the end. I care not. I beg of you to search the Bible for yourselves. To the law and to the testimony; if I speak not according to this Word, it is because there is no light in me. I am willing to come to that test. Have nothing to do with me where I have nothing to do with Christ. Where I separate from the truth, cast my words away. But if what I say be God's teaching, I charge you, by him that sent me, give these things your thoughts, and turn unto the Lord with all your hearts.
