Coil on the Scriptures

The Authority of the Scriptures

Charles Coil firmly believed in the truthfulness of the Scriptures. The command of Jesus at the end of Matthew is a large part of the reason he established International Bible College (now Heritage Christian University).

In this sermon, delivered on the campus of Oklahoma Christian University, Coil speaks plainly and forcibly about “The Authority of the Scriptures.” Coil makes an important point throughout this lesson: “Our view of the authority of the Scriptures makes a great deal of difference in our lives.”

How to Recruit and Train Workers for World Evangelism

Charles Coil was a leading evangelist among churches of Christ. In 1967, Coil preached a gospel meeting with the Golf Course Road Church of Christ in Midland, Texas. At the meeting in Midland, 339 responded to the invitation, including 86 who were baptized. Many believe this is the largest number of responses in history at a gospel meeting associated with the churches of Christ in the United States.

Four years later, in 1971, Coil established International Bible College (now Heritage Christian University) with a singular focus: to train effective communicators of the gospel. HCU remains committed to that singular focus. In the lesson linked below, Charles Coil tackles the importance of that focus and discusses “How to Recruit and Train Workers for World Evangelism.”

Take a listen. This lesson will bless your life in much the same way that Chares Coil blessed so many.
