- T8280-347 - Abraham: The Old Testament Pattern of Saving Faith, Pt 2 (Romans 4:9–12)14 March 2010, 3:00 pm
How does a person get on the right side of God? How does a person escape divine judgment and enter into divine blessing? All religions offer some formula, some means supposedly to make that happen. And, of course, none of them can apart from the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Here we find that the only way that a person can be made right with God is apart from works, apart from anything that person does simply through faith, the gift of grace is given. When a person places genuine faith in the per...
- T8280-346b - Abraham: The Old Testament Pattern of Saving Faith, Pt 1b (Romans 4:1–8)7 March 2010, 3:00 pm
Do you realize that every false religious system ever created has been rooted in a works-based righteousness? In every worldly religion, it is the individual who is responsible for purchasing his or her own redemption, through good works or sacrifices. But true, biblical salvation is only possible when God intervenes and grants us His grace and forgiveness. On our own, we’re incapable of saving ourselves. Looking all the way back to the life of Abraham, the Apostle Paul explained in the book... - T8280-346a - Abraham: The Old Testament Pattern of Saving Faith, Pt 1a (Romans 4:1–8)28 February 2010, 3:00 pm
There was a little girl who secretly and quietly had saved up enough money to buy her father a present for Father's Day. But when she had all her money collected, she was very concerned and so she went to her mother and said, “I can't be going down town every month to make payments. Mother, is there a store where they let you pay for the whole thing at once?" That's the kind of question a child would ask. And it is also true that there are religions in the world, in fact all false religions b... - T8242-256b - The World in Conflict and Distress, Pt. 2 (Luke 21:9-11)21 February 2010, 3:00 pm

When is Jesus coming back? Christians have been asking that question for two thousand years. Longer actually, long before Christ’s crucifixion His apostles asked Him the same thing. It’s a question Jesus took seriously. His answer is recorded in the longest episode of scripture. So if the events surrounding the Lord’s second coming are a mystery to you, they shouldn’t be, Christ provided those details which are the subject of today’s edition of Grace to You. Lets join Pastor John MacAr... - T8290-369 - The Armor of God: Praying at All Times (Ephesians 6:18-20)7 February 2010, 3:00 pm
If you've been with us these past five weeks, you should be pretty well protected by now. Together, we've taken a close look at the spiritual armor God has prepared for all of us who would follow Him. Just as with any soldier gearing up for battle, each piece of our protection is crucial because we can only be as strong as our weakest point. To be effective in the spiritual realm, each part of our armor, from head to toe, must be intact. That's why we've taken the time we have to unfold this s... - T8290-368 - The Armor of God: The Sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17)31 January 2010, 3:00 pm
In Ephesians chapter 6, we’re looking at the armor of God, the believer’s armor laid out for us by the Holy Spirit through the pen of the Apostle Paul. Paul has given all kinds of very foundational and important instruction in this letter to the Ephesians, instruction which has to do with living the Christian life, walking the worthy walk, as he speaks of it in chapter 4 which begins the practical section of this great epistle, the first three chapters being doctrinal. And he has laid out al... - T8290-367 - The Armor of God: The Helmet of Salvation (Ephesians 6:17)24 January 2010, 3:00 pm
If you've been with us these past several weeks, you've been on quite a ride. Together, we've unpacked some of the most amazing and practical truths the Lord has for us in His Word. You've learned how to employ the armor of God ... some of it, anyway. The belt of Truthfulness and the breastplate of righteousness. The shoes of the gospel and the shield of faith. We've covered some of the biggies. But today, pastor MacArthur is going to teach you how to protect your head. Today, you're going to ... - T8290-366 - The Armor of God: The Shoes of the Gospel of Peace and The Shield of Faith (Ephesians 6:15-16)17 January 2010, 3:00 pm
The believer's walk is defined by opposition. Opposition from the world. Opposition from the flesh. Opposition from the spiritual realm. Spiritual warfare is real. The weapons are powerful and the stakes are eternal. So how do we get prepared to fight? It begins with knowing what to wear. Pastor MacArthur is about to return to his ongoing series on spiritual warfare and the believer's armor. In today's edition, we'll focus on the shoes and the shield. You won't want too miss this. And if tod... - T8290-365 - The Armor of God: The Belt of Truthfulness and the Breastplate of Righteousness (Ephesians 6:14)10 January 2010, 3:00 pm

Profess Christ today and be prepared for an onslaught. The world hates our Lord and just as He promised, it hates those who love Him as well. In other words, living for God is not for the fainthearted. But your most dangerous opposition is not the world. The battles you'll wage take place in the spirit. The enemies of your faith are also the supernatural enemies of your soul. Thankfully, none of us is defenseless. Far from it. Starting today, pastor John MacArthur launches a 6-part series you... - T8242-265B - The Believer’s Gift to Christ, Pt. 2 (Luke 21:34-36)27 December 2009, 3:00 pm
What would you do if your boss or your pastor was coming to your house for dinner tonight? You wouldn’t wait until the last minute to prepare - you’d want to have plenty of time to make sure everything was presentable and in order, because you want to show your guest the appropriate level of respect. In a similar way, believers need to prepare their hearts and lives for Christ’s return. Our sanctified lives need to reflect the joy and anticipation of the return of our Savior. Last time w... - T8242-265A - The Believer’s Gift to Christ, Pt. 1 (Luke 21:34-36)20 December 2009, 3:00 pm
Christmas day is right around the corner, and for most people, it’s the climax to the busiest time of the year. It’s the most celebrated holiday and the preparations alone can take months to complete. But let me ask you this: how are you preparing for his second coming? Are you already for Him to return—are you living in the active anticipation of His second coming? Today, John MacArthur will show us from Scripture the steps you and I need to take to prepare our hearts and lives for Chri... - T8242-295 - The Living Christ Dispels All Doubt (Luke 24:33-43)13 December 2009, 3:00 pm
The living Christ dispels all doubt. That was true 2,000 years ago and it remains true today. Through God's Word, the living Christ is revealed ... and lives are changed. That's what we proclaim here on Grace to You, and why we make sound Bible teaching available through resources like The MacArthur Study Bible. The study Bible, like the broadcast, unfolds the Word, and then it explains it. If you would like to order the MacArthur Study Bible or any other of our valuable resources just visit 80...
