Berean Bible Church - Virginia

The bottom line is that we need each other. I need what you have in Christ, and you need what I have in Christ. We need each other! And community is the key. Yahweh designed the church to bring together people of different backgrounds, cultures, races, and situations in life so that we could learn to live together as Christians, united by our common faith in Yeshua the Christ.

To use the sword of the Spirit effectively, we must saturate ourselves with the Word by every possible means. You must become intimately acquainted with the book. And to do that you must read it repeatedly, study it carefully, and memorize it often.

The armor of God, what is it, and do we still need it today as they did during the first century?

Do you understand the value of contentment? If you truly understood its value, wouldn't you be doing all you could to find it?

This Intertestamental Literature (Apocrypha, DSS, and Pseudepigrapha) says considerably more about Satan than the Tanakh does. Ancient conceptions of Satan and demons developed during the Second Temple period.

Most believers think of God and Satan and their respective angels, and that's it for spiritual beings. What I want to demonstrate is that there are many gods and many satans

The idea of a divine council may sound strange to you because most Christians today have never even heard of it. But, hopefully, I demonstrated that in the Hebrew Bible we see a divine council, a ruling body consisting of Yahweh as the supreme monarch and various supernatural attendants.

Paul is saying that their struggle is not with humanity, not with mere human power. So what is the struggle with?

Are we in a spiritual battle today? Can you back up your view with Scripture?

Do you view your job as Christian ministry?

Slavery to us should not be a negative thing. Then there are others in our society who work so hard at fighting for their rights that they do not see themselves as slaves to anyone. If you don't see yourself as a slave, then Eph 6:5-9 will be totally irrelevant to you.

If you are a person people who claims to love and worship God and His son, who claims to be a part of his people, and who claim to want a better life in Him, yet do not stay consistently within His Word, then you are part of the problem with Christianity in the world today.

There are many today who believe we are in the last days of planet earth, claiming that these are fulfillments of biblical prophecy that prove that we are in the last days.

Our text this morning is straightforward - it divides into three parts: the address, 'Fathers,' the negative command, 'Do not provoke your children,' and the positive 'But bring them up in discipline and instruction of Lord.'

We can and we must live out these commands so that our homes will be a testimony to His love and grace. The Christian home is the outpost of Christianity.

Are you aware that this 'rapture of the church' idea is not a historical teaching of the church? To the surprise of many, rapture-based theology has only been around for the past couple hundred years and predominantly in America.

The Greek word used here for love is agapao. Agapao is portrayed as a self-sacrificing, caring commitment that shows itself in seeking the highest good of the one loved. Agapao is a present tense imperative indicating continuous action. It could be translated: "keep on loving your wife."

At least one in four American Christians surveyed recently by Christianity Today magazine said that they believe it is their biblical responsibility to support the nation of Israel. But what does the Bible teach on this matter?

As we look at these areas, you need to ask yourself some important questions. Does your relationship with Christ make a difference in these relationships? What difference does it make? How are you different in these areas from your non-Christian neighbor?

These verses are teaching a divinely given order in marriage that we are declaring is from Yahweh. While there are many who do not like what Paul has to say to wives in these verses, there is little doubt as to what he has written.

The Spirit filled believer will live in subjection. In our culture it seems like submission or subjection are bad words. Our culture encourages everyone to stand up and fight for his or her rights.

These are the manifestations or results of the filling of the Spirit: the speaking, the singing, the making melody, the thanksgiving, the submission.

Paul is saying that rather than be filled with wine, so as to be under its influence, Christians should be filled with the Holy Spirit, so as to be under His influence.

Do you sometimes feel like Yahweh doesn't care or is not paying attention to you?

What does the Bible teach us about drinking alcoholic beverages? Some churches teach it is totally prohibited, others that it is always best to avoid, and other yet still that it is allowed in moderation. What does the Bible say and why is there so much arguments over it within the church? Pastor Curtis examines most all biblical texts, as well as examining the teachings on the subject of others l...
