Understanding and Combatting the Sexual Revolution

In this first talk, given on January 14th, 2022, Dr. Morse explains the mission and goal of the Ruth Institute. She explains that the Church’s traditional teachings on the moral law can be defended at the highest levels. Additionally, she teaches a core principle that all advocates of the family must defend, namely, that every child needs his or her father and mother in the home married to each other, excepting, of course, for an unavoidable tragedy. Hear Dr. Morse talk about hot button topics like Feminism, Gender Ideology, and Sex-Ed for children. She explains the contraception explosion of the 20th century and asks the question whether the Birth Control Pill really changed the culture or was it the persons promoting it?

Together #2 "Making Jesus' Final Command Our First Priority"

“Making Jesus' Final Command Our First Priority” Together - Genuine Community: Building Relationships in a Broken World Rainier Valley Church - Seattle, Washington - Sunday, March 26 The Mission Profess (Matt 28:18-20) Proclaim (Mark 16:15-16) Participate (Luke 24:46-48) Peace (John 20:21-22) Power (Acts 1:8) Jesus gives the great commission 5 different times in 5 different ways. What are some of the similarities and differences in these texts? How can we make Jesus’ last command our first priority? The Motivations Love (2 Corinthians 5:14) Compassion (Matthew 23:37) Sorrow (Romans 9:1-3) Power (Roman 1:16) Accountability (Acts 20:26-27) There are many biblical motivations for evangelism.

God loves you and created you to know Him personally. "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16). 2. Man is sinful and separated from God, so we cannot know Him personally or experience His love. "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Rom 3:23) 3. Jesus Christ is God's only provision for man's sin. Through Him alone we can know God personally and experience God's love. "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8) 4. We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know God personally and experience His love. "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name" (John 1:12) You Can Receive Christ Right Now by Faith Through Prayer "Lord Jesus, I want to know You personally. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving me of my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be." http://www.4laws.com/laws/englishkgp/... 2 Ways to Live Our Way God’s New Way Reject God as ruler Submit to Jesus as our Ruler Live our own way Rely on Jesus’ way Damaged by our Rebellion Forgiven by God’s grace Facing death and judgment Receive a new life that last forever https://twowaystolive.com/ The Way of the Master W.D.J.D.
