Audio Sermons From the Touchet Pulpit
Pastor Mike Paulson

And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

The Three Main Elements of Music - How They Affect Us All**
We did a 'short' simplified presentation about melody, harmony and rhythm - what God, man and the devil thinks of those elements.  We then ended up listening to some music that ought to show you what is going on in our Bible Believing churches lately with this craze of bluegrass Christian country bumkin travelin' family professional music.  it doesn't matter what some great hero of the faith preacher says, it does matter what the Lord says about music!  I have heard comments already that this 'illustration' helped them possibly see some of the rhythm flesh problems with this music today.  The 'notes' for this sermon are on the powerpoint presentation page and would be good to follow as you listen to the sermon.  It is also available on DVD and on a CD with auudio of the sermon dubbed in.

The Mozart Effect - Updated
First - we watched a short powerpresentation at Mozart Effect of the Mozart Effect. This particular presentation runs by itself, complete with music.  Just click to begin, sit back and watch, listen and read it together.  I do trust you will be blessed as well as informed a bit after giving this some of your quiet minutes.  The sermon following dealt with the specifics about music taking place of the Holy Spirit in the world of the lost AND saved.

 Book or Church or Pastor -What Prevails in Your Life?
A series of questions that depending on your answers, you can examine yourself to see if it is the word of God that prevails in your life - or your church -or even your pastor.  I challenge you to hear out the entire sermon.  Many many various issues are touched on within this sermon.

 Sound of Sin
What are the references/ensamples that show us specifically how music is used by the unsaved - the world, etc.   This little sermon will put the 'pressure' on those who still play the music of the world as we drive to and from work, as we do what the world does, etc.  I do think this sermon makes it very plain about the worlds' music not being God's way!  There are no notes, but the powerpoint presentation shows the same verses we see tonight.

 Music Events in the Bible
We look at an interesting look at the major musical events in the Bible.  You can learn from these 'events' about the value of praising God - honestly, that is, and how He filled the temple with His glory in those days, He can do the same for us today.  But... it isn't the local church we are talking about, it is us - as WE are the temple of God today.  So... the obvious conclusion is that our Praises Please God and if we see what He did physically in the OT because of praises to Him, we ought to be able to experience the same form Him spritually today - just by praising God from the heart - and meaning it!  But remember, we are not talking about fancy modern rhythmic fleshy arrnagements of hymns, etc.

 The Pause That Refreshes
This gap of grace inserted by God into His time design and headed up by Paul (whose name means 'pause') is a great opportunity for Christians. God's grace & mercy is made available to and for all.  What a time of refreshment this should be, in spite of all that the devil and the world throws at us!  There is a short powerpoint presentation that introduces this sermon.

 Purpose of Music
While this particular sermon is a bit different than the 'original' one dealing with Psalm 68:4, it is something certainly to consider as to whether or not your music praises God or praises the antichrist.  You will notice some 'sounds' at the end of the sermon that deal with the 'design' of the platform area as we had the 'hunter season' decor around the pulpit.  Anyway - this is about music and the one and only purpose, to Praise God and just exactly who do we praise, worship and rejoice over - Jesus Christ!  I hope it is a blessing to those who sit through it all - but especially I hope God shows you more about music - music according to the King James Bible.

 Little Red Riding Hood Churches
Thoughts, comments and statements on the effects on our church from the newest law that is not only devastating corporations, it is a potential church killer!  It is called the Sarbane-Oxley Act.  I compare this all to the story of Little Red Riding Hood on the audio - the written notes are comments & excerpts from the audio sermon.  If you are interested at all in this law and touchet baptist church, I ask that you take the time to listen to the entire sermon.  It is more of a 'talk' to the family and you website folks are family, too!  There are going to be some serious changes within our local church's way of life.

 Paul's Greater Commission Preaching vs Great Commission
These are specific things that Paul said he preached about.  Even though many of these things were also preached in the Great Commission time, it is just confusing to Christians to take folks back to the gospels and mix it all with Paul.  That is "picking and choosing" to them - just teach them Rightly Dividing and show them how you follow Paul's example.  That will help folks with their understanding of the Bible!

Also note that Netscape will show these pages as I designed them to look - I have no clue as to why the big blue e doesn't.  Just so you know... some of those poor designs are not true to my plan.
