248 - The Problem of Rebellion [B]
Sunday, October 13, 2024
by Robert Dean
Passage: Ephesians 5:21
Series: Ephesians (2018)
Duration: 52 mins 56 secs
Why does the Bible spend so much time describing the sin of rebellion? Listen to this message to learn that rebellion is a part of our sin nature and was the sin of Satan. See that the Bible compares rebellion to the sin of witchcraft. Hear a number of biblical examples of rebellion beginning with Adam and Eve and including the rebellion of the Israelites. Find out that respect for authority is inherent in having a culture that works.

During this message Dr. Dean recommended "The The Culture of Narcissism: American Life in an Age of Diminishing Expectations" by Christopher Lasch.

2 - Flyover of 1 Samuel [A]
Tuesday, February 10, 2015
by Robert Dean
Passage: 1 Samuel
Series: 1st and 2nd Samuel (2015)
Duration: 1 hr 8 mins 13 secs
If you’ve always thought of the Bible as an obscure, pious book filled with stories of great Biblical heroes, think again. Listen to this lesson to learn about a country dominated by earthy, flawed, and sinful men, much as we have in our country today. Follow a dark period in Israel’s history and learn about three very different men, Samuel, Saul, and David. Learn about a murderous king influenced by demonism. See that as the book begins, God is working behind the scene, preparing to deliver Israel by bringing change. As you approach the study of this book, ask yourself if you’re like many in those days, trying to be a covert believer rather than living in open obedience to God’s Word.

127 - Expansion; Impact; Opposition [B]
Tuesday, October 08, 2013
by Robert Dean
Passage: Acts 19:17-41
Series: Acts (2010)
Duration: 1 hr 8 mins 43 secs
"Don't come preaching that and take away my business," was the strident cry of a frenzied, mindless mob in Ephesus. This ancient city was renowned for its pagan worship of the goddess Diana and the practice of the occult black arts. Listen to this lesson to learn that many Ephesians, however, listened to Paul and accepted the Lord Jesus. Hear how they brought their expensive books of magic and incantations to be burned. See how cultures can change for the better or worse depending on what people believe. Find out how Paul took the time to train young men such as Timothy and Erastus for the ministry.
