Unionism is Not Unity | Cross Defense

Videostmarksferndale Leave a comment
Listen every Saturday at 9 AM (Pacific) at KFUO.org or on your favorite podcast app.

Orthodoxy, heterodoxy, and unionism. God prohibits church fellowship with heterodox churches. Why? True and false cannot exist with equal standing. If true allows for false, true ceases to be true. Learn more about this and other reasons why the orthodox church is not to fraternize with those who teach contrary to Scripture.

Perception

Videostmarksferndale Leave a comment
This is the video version of Pastor Bramwell’s November letter to St. Mark.

Scripture tells us not to be concerned with the perception of the world. It is God’s approval that we seek. It is to His glory that we do and say all that we do and say.

Paganism in the Pulpit | Humboldt Sermon Review

Videostmarksferndale Leave a comment

In the Name of Jesus: Humboldt Sermon Reviews #1

Pastor Bramwell reviews a local sermon to test the spirits in service to St. Mark’s members. Rev. Dr. Lynn Hubbard of Grace Good Shepherd, Mckinleyville, CA preached this sermon at Our Saviour Lutheran Church (ELCA) in Ferndale, CA. Part of it was dedicated to St. Mark and the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod. We pray for the souls being led astray by this antichrist. May he repent of his false teaching and live.

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1

Can Christians Participate in Halloween? | Cross Defense

Are we straining gnats while swallowing camels? A listener’s question about Christian participation in Halloween takes us to the LCMS’s Christian Cyclopedia for a look at adiaphora before hearing from Martin Luther’s sermon on The Three Kinds of Good Life for the Instruction of Consciences, based on Exodus 25-27 and focused on Matthew 23:23-24.

The Blessing of Each Other

Videostmarksferndale Leave a comment
The video version of Pastor Bramwell’s October letter to St. Mark. Following Christ comes with persecution, and clinging to the cross does mean letting go of relationships and possessions. But it is not merely loss. In fact, it is the beginning of GREAT gain! Jesus promises that we will receive a hundredfold what we lose in this life and that receiving it occurs already in this time. Each Christian is a part of the fulfillment of that blessing.

Listen to the entire episode at KFUO.org, on our home page, or on your favorite podcast app.

Politicians and reporters are talking about insurrection, political violence, and even civil war. Martin Luther admonished Christians to guard against insurrection in 1522. Are his words applicable 500 years later? We review the two opposing parties President Biden described in his recent speech and listen to what Luther teaches about party identities and insurrection.

Mary Magdalene: A Reminder

Videostmarksferndale Leave a comment
Mary Magdalene is a phenomenal reminder of the historical verifiability of the New Testament documents. Eyewitnesses saw the events of Christ’s public life, death, and resurrection. Some of them were followers of Jesus. Some were adversaries. All of them were able to corroborate the claims made by the evangelists!

“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works.” (Hebrews 10:23-24) This video (with its cinematic feel) was created with the above instruction in mind. As we hold fast our confession of hope in the resurrection of Christ without wavering, we’re striving to stir up one another in love and good works.

The struggle is real, isn’t it? Our children don’t always want to go to church, especially during their teenage years. Pastor Bramwell confirms that you’re far from alone in your hardship, provides encouragement from church history, gives practical instruction from Scripture on how to ease the struggle, and finally offers an excellent resource to aid you in your parental vocation. Not a parent? Don’t think this episode is for you? Not true, friend. Pastor Bramwell’s biblical instruction will help you in your evangelistic witness, too!

Wokeness is the Antithesis of Christianity – Cross Defense

Videostmarksferndale Leave a comment
Did you know that in today’s woke culture Christians are the heretics? Listen to a voice message that says as much before Pastor Bramwell addresses nine wicked spiritual effects that wokeness has on Christianity. Francis Schaeffer once observed that the spiritual battle is bigger than Christians often realize. He was right!
