35 years ago Mack Lyon began the "In Search of
the Lord's Way" program. For more than thirty years you were able to hear
Mack Lyon preaching the unsearchable riches of Christ. August 5th, 2015 Mack
went home to the Lord at the age of 93. We miss him, and we know you miss him
too! He was indeed a great soldier of the cross who loved the Lord and His
cause.
In this special program we take time
to honor Mack. Mack loved to preach the gospel and although his health would
not allow it, he dreamed of being able to preach once more. So, we have selected portions of three of
Mack's favorite sermons from our library to share with you today. The first one is from 1984 an talks about the
power of Christ's resurrection. The second is from 1998 and speaks of the need
to glory in the cross. The final selection is from 2010. Here Mack speaks of
his love for scripture and our need to hold it up as a standard.
Devotional thoughts and comments from the staff at In Search of the Lord's Way, the television ministry of the Edmond Church of Christ in Edmond, Oklahoma.

Sunday August 30 - One God, Three Persons
Audio - One God, Three Persons
The Scriptures clearly teach there is but one God (Deuteronomy 6:4), yet the Scripture also describes the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as persons who interact with each other. How can there be three and yet be one?

Sunday August 23 - The Holy Spirit
Audio - The Holy Spirit
Both the Old Testament and the New Testament speak of the Holy Spirit. Some versions speak of the Spirit as an “it,” Who or what is the Holy Spirit, and is He a divine person or merely a force or influence in the world?

Sunday August 16 - Jesus the Son
Audio - Jesus the Son
Jesus frequently describes Him merely as the Son. He is the Son of God and the Son of Man. The Scriptures describe Him as divine but also as coming in the flesh. How do we understand Jesus as both fully human and fully divine?

The Lord Jesus taught us to pray, “Our Father, who is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:9). Who is the Father in heaven and what can we know about Him? Our Father is not visible to us, but He has revealed Himself in many ways.

Sunday July 26 - Mark of the Beast
Audio - Mark of the Beast
The book of Revelation speaks of many unbelievers following a beast that opposes the people of God and follows Satan. What is the mark of the beast, and does Revelation have anything to do with twenty-first century America?

Sunday July 19 - Left Behind?
Audio - Left Behind?
Several books and movies recently talk about the rapture and a sudden disappearance of a mass of people. Does the Bible speak of a rapture and what does it say? What is the kingdom of Christ and when will it begin?

Audio - Women of the Church?
What role has God given to women in the worship and the leadership of the church? Are women to be preachers or elders in the Lord’s church? Should women feel cheated if they are restricted from leadership roles?

Sunday July 5 - The Law
Audio - The Law
When you open your Bible, you see the words Old Testament and New Testament. What does that mean? Is there a difference between the Old Testament Law and the law of Christ? Are we under the Old Law?

Sunday June 28 - Authoritative
Audio - Authoritative
Since Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth and His words recorded in Scripture will judge us in the last day, we know the Bible has authority over us in this life. We need to hear and to obey the revealed word of God.

God gave to us in the Bible all things that pertain to life and godliness, and we are not lacking anything that teaches us how to live and how to have eternal life. Because the word is all-sufficient, there is no need to change it in any way.

How do we know the word of God came to us in a form that was like the original? What about all those variants in Scripture? In this lesson we’ll see how God’s word is true to its origin and is utterly trustworthy.

All Scripture is God-breathed and may truly be called God’s Word. Men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. We can trust the Word of God because we know it finds its source in God Himself.

Audio - One of a Kind
The Lord Jesus Christ is one of a kind. Though some say He is simply one great spiritual leader among others or He is like other ancient deities, Jesus is indeed unique in His life and in His teaching.
