Retraining Your Conscience

This collection covers everything from how to retrain a dull, oversensitive, or social conscience, to how to soften a seared conscience, to why a weak or legalistic conscience always leads to more sin and less holiness. It details how to deal with legalism in your friends, how to recognize it in yourself, how to recover from legalism without becoming a libertine, and how to grow in your appreciation for the freedom God has given you in Christ.

Guidance (2003)

If you pray and fast for God's guidance, what do you expect that guidance to look or sound like?

It's possible to place so much emphasis on the only objective rule of life — Scripture — that we can struggle to understand the role of the subjective in God's leading. Does God still speak to Christians individually, and if so, how? How do we expect (or do we expect?) God to give us individualized guidance? How are we supposed to determine our individual calling (or is it just up to us to choose)? How are we supposed to interpret or evaluate stirrings, burdens, peace, illumination, or checks of the spirit?

In this 3-part series, Dr. Kayser digs into the much-neglected role of the subjective side of God's leading. In Part 1, laying the theological foundations, he:

explains the difference between inspiration and revelation
gives 13 Scriptural examples of how God continues to give subjective (not inspired) revelation, including the law written on the heart, faith, assurance, conviction, and illumination
and explains the different ongoing roles of Scripture, circumstances/providence, and the Spirit's presence and speaking/leading in our lives.

In Parts 2 and 3, he goes over 30 questions to help you evaluate guidance and direction.

Beatitudes (2010)

The Beatitudes were given to refute the four man-made counterfeits for bringing in the kingdom — legalism, compromise/progressivism, revolution, and separatism/retreatism — by pointing to Jesus instead. This series is about the marks of a true Christianity made possible only by grace. And it's about how to enjoy God's true kingdom, a kingdom that brings us comfort, stewardship of the earth, satisfaction in righteousness, mercy, closeness to God, and the wonderful title "sons of God."

Revelation (2015 - 2018)

You can understand Revelation just like the 1st century Christians did: not as a gloomy end-times guide, but as a hopeful spiritual-war manual on how to overcome in crazy times.

People get confused by Revelation when they rush past the 33 interpretive keys in the first chapter to get to the "interesting" parts. Drawing from the best of every school of interpretation, Dr. Kayser starts this series with a 14-sermon crash course on biblical interpretation through Revelation 1, laying out every key so you can understand the book as John's original audience did — not as an end-times guide, but as a hope-filled practical manual on spiritual warfare, worship, prayer, perseverance in trial, resistance to tyranny, God's preservation of the church, and Jesus' victory over all His enemies.

James (2003 - 2004)

Do you have a counterfeit faith or a true faith? Where is the evidence of your faith? Where is the evidence that you are truly justified and indwelt by the Spirit? That's the theme of James.
Some call James "faith with work boots." James is not about how to get saved, but about showing that we have faith by a transformed life. You can only be saved by what Jesus has done. But once you are saved, you put on your work boots and act by grace in all of these practical areas of life — in ways only the Spirit can make possible. James shows us how having true grace and faith change how you go through trials, use your tongue, relate to others in the church, stop judging others, trust God with the future, glory in every circumstance, stop envying others, rejoice even when things are going wrong. This series draws out James's wisdom on all these topics, plus
conflict resolution, resisting temptation, patience, repentance, restoring backsliders, judgment and liberty, and more.

Most importantly, it shows the difference between fake faith and true God-given faith, and why both Federal Vision and the Carnal Christian Theory go wrong (partly by missing the chiastic structure and heart of the book) on the relationship between faith and works.

Life of David (2010 - 2015)

A Course in Practical Christianity, By King David

From shepherd boy to warrior king, David's life story is the story of sin, grace, and spiritual power at work in every area of life: Battles with giants. Leadership. Betrayal. Bad authorities. Sexual sin. Repentance. Spiritual warfare. Friendship and conflict. Rebellious kids. Politics. Relationships between men and women. Falling and redemption.

David's saga teaches us about just war, voting ethics, victim's rights, re-training your conscience, using imprecatory Psalms, how the demonic affects Christians, and how and when to practice civil disobedience. While Saul models how to be the impressive Christian-on-your-own-terms that God rejects, David shows us to live life — all of it — as a very-human man after God's own heart.
