The Gospel According to Paul

Posted on September 22, 2011 by John Samson

The kind folks at Grace To You have made the recent “Truth Matters 2011 Conference” available for free listening and download at their site. I watched the conference through their online live streaming of the event earlier this month, and now the teaching is being made available to a wider audience who can listen in at their own convenience.

The series of messages by Dr. John Macarthur were particularly outstanding. They enriched my soul.

This teaching will form the basis of an up-coming book by Dr. Macarthur, the final installment in his trilogy on the Gospel. The first was “The Gospel According to Jesus”; the second, “The Gospel According to the Apostles”; and this third one will be “The Gospel According to Paul.”

Here are the session titles by Dr. Macarthur:

(1) The Glorious Gospel

(2) The Gospel Satisfies the Sinner’s Need

(3) The Gospel Satisfies God’s Demands

(4) The Reconciling Gospel

(5) An Introduction to the Sovereign Gospel

(6) An Explanation of the Sovereign Gospel

(7) The Humbling Gospel

Then a final session:
(8) Practical Concerns in the Local Church: An Interview with John MacArthur

Here’s the link to either hear, download or purchase the Conference messages. Having heard each session one time through, I now aim to go through them again, this time taking extensive notes.

Ten Indictments (Message to the Church)

Posted on September 12, 2011 by John Samson

Paul ministered as a missionary in Peru for 10 years, during which time he founded the HeartCry Missionary Society to support Peruvian Church planters. HeartCry’s work now supports over 80 indigenous missionaries in 15 different countries throughout Eastern Europe, South America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. An itinerant preacher, Paul also frequently teaches at his home church, First Baptist Church of Muscle Shoals, and is the author of The One True God: A Biblical Study of the Doctrine of God. At the present, Paul serves as the Director of HeartCry Missionary Society and resides in Muscle Shoals, Alabama with his wife Charo and two sons Ian and Evan, and one daughter Rowan.

“Preached Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008 at the Revival Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. Paul Washer delivers a urgent appeal to the Christians and Churches in North America that many have been believing a false gospel and have false assurance of their salvation. He lists 10 indictments against the modern Church system in America. This is a historical urgent message, tell others and spread the message. We need a reformation and revival of a biblical standard!” – Greg Gordon (Revival Conference Organizer)

To that I would add that even though the video is almost 2 hours long, I believe its one that every Christian leader in the 21st Century needs to hear as well as all who have a genuine love for the Church. Its a message that should drive each of us to our knees.
