Aletheia (al-ay’-thi-a) #32 – On Duty and Politics

Aletheia (al-ay’-thi-a) #32 – On Duty and Politics

How good it is to constantly bring to remembrance those wonderful words of the apostle Paul who encouraged the church at Philippi saying: “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.” (Phil 3:20).  Christ is indeed the Lord from heaven, and by virtue of [...]

Aletheia (al-ay’-thi-a) #31 – On the Ministry of Self-Acquaintance

After a hiatus in January, “Aletheia” makes a brief return for the month of February.  And for this week I wanted to approach the issue of what I’ve entitled “The Ministry of Self-Acquaintance”.   John Dryden, a 17th century English Poet has said:  “When I consider my heart, it is all a cheat. Yet fooled [...]

Legacy Baptist Church exists to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ through the advancement of the gospel. To that end, we are committed to systematically teaching the Word of God, in order to equip one another toward greater expressions of personal holiness, and to mobilize one another toward the sacrificial exercise of interdependent works of service, [...]

Aletheia (al-ay’-thi-a) #30 – On the Office of Deacon

For this article we will finalize our brief study of church organization…or “church order” as some may refer to it.  In particular, we want to lay stress on the Office of the Deacon.  To do so, we will return our focus to 1Timothy 3, verses 8-10. (Click for more)    Obviously, all that could be [...]

Aletheia (al-ay’-thi-a) #29 – On the Office of Elder

We are returning to our study of church organization, and in particular, the establishment of the two offices of church polity; the office of elder and the office of deacon.  Last week I indicated that there is a seemingly endless variety of systems of church organization….in fact, one might wonder if there aren’t as many [...]

Aletheia (al-ay’-thi-a) #28 –  On Church Order (Part 1 of 3)

Aletheia (al-ay’-thi-a) #28 – On Church Order (Part 1 of 3)

Good morning to each of you…. I hope to spend the remainder of November discussing the issue of church organization, and in particular, the positions of elders and deacons. I’m overdue with this topic, I think…although, we’ve had some opportunity recently to address this in Sunday School.  I think this is a topic that holds [...]

Aletheia (al-ay’-thi-a) #27 – On Spiritual Enlistment

Aletheia (al-ay’-thi-a) #27 – On Spiritual Enlistment

Aletheia returns for the month of November, and this week we look at 2 Timothy 2:4: “No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him.” There is a story of a young soldier who, after recently enlisting in the Army, was [...]

Aletheia (al-ay’-thi-a) – What Must I Do to be Saved (Conclusion)

Aletheia (al-ay’-thi-a) – What Must I Do to be Saved (Conclusion)

As you may recall, Paul and Silas have been unjustly beaten and thrown into a Macedonian prison for their testimony of the gospel. 

Aletheia (al-ay’-thi-a) – What Must I Do to be Saved (Part 4)

Aletheia (al-ay’-thi-a) – What Must I Do to be Saved (Part 4)

We come again to our study of Acts chapter 16 and the account of Paul and Silas’ experience in Philippi of Macedonia.  Our focus this morning will be on verses 25-28.
