Judges 1 Preached in the Sanctuary of Bethesda Shalom, England, Sunday 12th April 2026. 

Part 11 According to Oneness Pentecostals, one cannot be saved unless they have repented, been baptised in Jesus' name, and filled with the Holy Spirit, evidenced by speaking in tongues.  Once a person has acted in faith by obeying these three steps, can they have assurance of salvation in the future life?  The sad reality is no.  There is a fourth component necessary for salvation, which the Jesu...

Colossians 3:16a A series of expository sermons, walking through the Book of Colossians.  Preached in the Sanctuary of Bethesda Shalom, England, Sunday 5th March 2026. 

Part 10 Within mainstream Christianity, denominations differ in their understanding of what constitutes the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the initial evidence of receiving such. Some teach that the baptism of the Holy Spirit, accompanied by the witness of tongues, is not a gift that is in continuation.  Despite these disagreements, this debate is an in-house one amongst the family of God on vario...

A series of expository sermons, walking through the Book of Colossians. Preached in the Sanctuary of Bethesda Shalom, England, Sunday 22nd March 2026. 

Part 9 For Jesus Name Pentecostals, except that a person is baptised in water, they cannot have their sins forgiven, since they believe that it is at baptism that God washes away the sins of the believer.  Oneness Pentecostals are not alone in this; other cults, including the Church of Christ, believe the same, as also do the Roman Catholic Church.  What distinguishes Jesus Name Pentecostals from...

Colossians 3:12-13 A series of expository sermons, walking through the Book of Colossians.  Preached in the Sanctuary of Bethesda Shalom, England, Sunday 8th March 2026. 

Part 8 The doctrine of justification by faith is one of the great pillars of the Christian Church.  Justification by faith explains the means by which God not only remits sins but credits to the bankrupt account of man His perfect righteousness on the grounds of faith alone, apart from any works, including water baptism.  Oneness Pentecostals, on the other hand, maintain that water baptism is a ne...

Colossians 3:5-11 A series of expository sermons, walking through the Book of Colossians.  Preached in the Sanctuary of Bethesda Shalom, England, Sunday 1st March 2026. 

Part 7 When one encounters a suspected cult member, one of the surest ways to ascertain whether they are sound in faith is to ask a simple but effective question: What must I do to be saved?  If the answer to this question is not that of Paul and Silas, then one can be almost certain that one is speaking to a cult member.  How did Paul and Silas answer the Philippian jailer?  "Believe on the Lord...

6. Shadows of the Trinity in the Old - Paul M. Williams Part 6 The charge is often put to Christians that the doctrine of the Trinity is a New Testament perversion that is nowhere present in the pages of the Old Testament.  This claim, however, is false and does not stand up to the biblical standards of scrutiny.  Christians concede that the doctrine of the Trinity is brought into full light only...

Part 5 When engaging with an Oneness Pentecostal, as with all cults, they have their favourite go-to passages that they hope will prove their case for the particular doctrine they are seeking to substantiate.  Admittedly, as one gives ear to their arguments, they appear at first to be convincing.  Obscure texts and isolated verses are lifted out of context; difficult verses to understand are prese...
