Ex-Muslim Yasmine Mohammad and Raymond Ibrahim EXPOSE Islam's Dark Truths

Below is Yasmine Mohammad's description of her recent interview with Raymond Ibrahim: In a new limited series called Islam and the West, Yasmine is inviting the most brilliant minds of our time to discuss the most pressing issues of our time. These conversations help us understand the goals of Islamists in the West, who are infiltrating our governments, media and academic institutions. They also examine strategies to battle the overwhelming antisemitism and Islamism in the West. The first guest on the Islam and the West limited series is Raymond Ibrahim, an expert on Islamic history and doctrine, and a widely published expert on the Middle East and Islam. He is the author of multiple books including Defenders of the West: The Christian Heroes Who Stood Against Islam (2022) and Sword and Scimitar: Fourteen Centuries of War between Islam and the West (2018). He has appeared on C-SPAN, Al-Jazeera, CNN, NPR, and PBS and has been published by a variety of publications. Formerly an Arabic linguist at the Library of Congress, Ibrahim has guest lectured at many universities. Ibrahim’s dual-background—born and raised in the U.S. by Egyptian parents from the Middle East—has provided him with unique advantages, from equal fluency in English and Arabic, to an equal understanding of the Western and Middle Eastern mindsets.

E. Building Healthy Witness: Good Works for the World (Titus 3:1–8)

Bridge Community Fellowship Sunday 08-10-25 Worship Service Building Healthy Witness: Good Works for the World (Titus 3:1–8) Big Idea for This Week: The grace that saves us also shapes us into people whose lives overflow with good works for the good of others. Sermon Outline: 1. Live Well in the World (Titus 3:1–2) The gospel calls us to be humble, peaceful, and respectful in the public square. 2. Humbly Remember Who You Were (Titus 3:3) We were once lost and enslaved by sin. Remembering that produces compassion, not pride. 3. Celebrate What God Has Done (Titus 3:4–7) We are saved not by works but by God’s mercy, through regeneration and renewal in Christ. 4. Devote Yourself to Good Works (Titus 3:8) Believers must be intentional and faithful in living out the gospel through good works. Application Questions for Study and Discussion: •What does it mean to live with humility, gentleness, and courtesy in today’s culture? •What part of God’s saving work (vv.4–7) stirs your heart with the most gratitude today? •Where in your life is the Holy Spirit prompting new or renewed devotion to good works? •How might your daily attitude toward others reflect your understanding of God’s kindness and mercy toward you? •What specific “good work” has God placed in front of you this week, and how can you pursue it with intentionality? Recommended Resources for Further Study: The Mark of the Christian by Francis Schaeffer, Holiness by J.C. Ryle, Future Grace by John Piper, Every Good Endeavor by Timothy Keller, Knowing God by J.I. Packer, Love Your Church by Tony Merida, Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund and Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life by Donald S. Whitney
