James Meyers, III discusses the question of salvation regarding those who do not believe in the orthodox Christian faith, and how early Christians, particularly Athanasius, defended the true orthodox faith at his own peril. In a relativistic age, we are prone to compromise what is never to be compromised, namely, the true Jesus, which is detrimental, not only to orthodoxy, but the eternal fate of fallen men and women. This is a sober reminder that our faith is not our own, but a gift of God which is not to be wielded as if it were our own.

James Meyers, III gives a message about the great forerunner to Christ, this enigmatic figure, John the Baptist. It is tragic that while many of the historical records of ancient secular historians write more about this John than Jesus, but he remains something of a shadowy figure in contemporary Christianity. James gives a poignant message regarding the ministry for which God called and sent John the Baptizer. As the voice of one crying in the wilderness, he was the last of the Old Covenant prophets whose chief duty was to prepare the way of the Lord. While there are similarities and parallels between the baptism of John and our baptism, there are differences, one of which is that John’s was preparatory while ours is the fulfillment of that preparation. However, his was that great hymn which we continue to sing, the glorious anthem entitled, Agnus Dei, The Lamb of God, which he gave when he called the people not merely to acknowledge and believe, but to behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

The incarnation of Jesus Christ is one of the most enigmatic truths in all of Christendom. His Virgin Birth, His sinless life, His vicarious substitution, His resurrection, and ascension are impossible without His incarnation. James Meyers, III preaches on this profound mystery, that God pitched His tent as it were to dwell amongst those whom He created. God promised to dwell among His people first in the tabernacle, then in the temple, but now in His Son. He came that we might behold His glory, just as Moses was given but slightly. Now, what once was concealed is now revealed in Christ, and the grace and truth proclaimed to Moses then, make its fullest proclamation in Jesus.

James Meyers, III gives a synopsis of the Arian controversy which preceded and caused the Council of Nicea and its conclusive Creed (The Nicene Creed) in 325 A.D. However, the Arian controversy not only continued, but became more radical. This was resolved at the Council of Constantinople in 381 A.D. However, between these two councils laid a great period of political and theological strife within the church. This is admittedly most lamentable. However, it is during this epoch of conflagration which came to define the Church’s orthodoxy, not Her orthodox faith which began at Her birth.

“Let there be light,” are the first words of God recorded in Sacred Writ. It should be no surprise, therefore, that Jesus Christ is the Light of the world, for in Him is life, and the life is the light of men. However, the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.James Meyers, III preaches a timely sermon as a witness to the Light of Christ, for He says, “I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.” As transformative as Christ is to make bad people good, He primarily does so by making dead people to life. It is He Who gives us life in Him that we may not stumble, but walk in His light as it is written, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

James Meyers, III discusses an early heresy known as Monarchianism which had two forms, that of Dynamic Monarchianism and Modalistic Monarchianism. James finds these heresies to have revived as early as the 19th century and warns against Modalism in particular as he finds this to be as close to orthodoxy as you can be while being heretical.

James Meyers, III preaches on the subject of forgiveness, which is a true and popular framework within Christianity. However, in order to have forgiveness, one must have guilt. James considers the distinction between guilt and guilt feelings, or objective guilt and subjective guilt, and how these find themselves in our lives, and how they are to be reconciled. Are we commanded to forgive in every case, or only if the offender repents? James discusses this and more in this timely message.
