Colossians (2011)
64 - Meditation: Singing to the Lord [B]
Sunday, July 29, 2012
by Robert Dean
Passage: Colossians 3:16 & Ephesians 6:18-20
Series: Colossians (2011)
Duration: 41 mins 14 secs
The purpose of singing hymns is to teach and admonish one another. Does that answer give us a hint as to what kinds of hymns we sing with regard to the words and the music? Will a repeated chorus of “Do Lord” teach and admonish through the potency of the written Word which is alive and powerful? What are some practical ways for us to make certain the Word of God is in our minds and our memories? If the reason we sing is to express our joy and response to God, is singing an option in worship? Is singing a significant part of our spiritual life?

Proverbs (2013)
8 - The Shield of God [B]
Sunday, February 17, 2013
by Robert Dean
Passage: Proverbs 2:5-8
Series: Proverbs (2013)
Duration: 49 mins 28 secs
The prior four verses are the “if you will” verses which highlight volition and challenge commitment. Then what? Are the next verses a formula for predicting deliverance from adversity and ending in wisdom? Deliverance doesn’t precede wisdom. Wisdom precedes God’s protection. Passion of focus on intimacy with God and His Truth is liable to incur intense arrows of distraction to tempt and challenge every decision one makes to follow wisdom. Is this obstacle course ours to negotiate? God is the defender of His Truth. When we are absorbed in His truth He becomes our personal shield. A shield doesn’t prevent arrows. It deflects arrows which seek to diminish God’s Truth with the lies which lead to death and obstruct our path to wisdom.

Romans (2010)
158 - Paul's Conclusion [B]
Thursday, October 09, 2014
by Robert Dean
Passage: Romans 15:14-33
Series: Romans (2010)
Duration: 1 hr 2 mins 50 secs
Letters written by famous people give us insight into what mattered to them. The book of Romans is an inspired letter written by the Apostle Paul to the believers in Rome in the 1st century. Listen to this lesson to see how Paul closes out the letter by taking six areas he wrote about in the beginning of the letter and referring to them again in the end. See how he describes a mature believer as someone filled with goodness from the knowledge of the Word of God so they can encourage others to go forward. Follow along as he asks for continual prayer as he faces opposition. Accept the priority he lays out that whatever we do in life we are to serve the ministry.

Duration: 1 hr 13 mins 28 secs

Why is it a priority for Christians to reach out to Jewish people to help them understand that Christ is the Messiah? Listen to this message to hear five reasons for this, including that Jews are saved by believing the gospel and not through their Jewish heritage. Hear a number of ways to present the gospel to Jewish people.

During the message Dr. Dean referred to a couple of books: To the Jew First: The Case for Jewish Evangelism in Scripture and History and How to Introduce Your Jewish Friends to the Messiah.
