In the mid-1960s, Ronny F. Wade hosted Let the Bible Speak originating from Springfield, MO. Bro. Wade preached a popular and powerful series of sermons “12 Reasons Why You Should Investigate The Church of Christ”. He also authored a booklet containing the material presented in these broadcasts. The series was so effective that Bro. Wade preached the sermons several times throughout the nearly 45 years he hosted Let the Bible Speak. Born in 1936, Ronny Wade passed away in January 2020. A few years ago, the 16mm film reels containing the original broadcasts of this series were found and digitized. We are happy to present the series anew. In this broadcast, Bro. Wade provides an introduction to the series with an overview of the church as set forth in the New Testament.

When the apostle Paul had his final meeting with the elders of the church at Ephesus he admonished them to “remember the words of the Lord Jesus…” Implicit within Paul’s statement was the authority that Christ’s words held with the church then and the weight they should still carry with all believers today.
