Revelation 3:7-22 7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, ‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”: 8 “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 9 Indeed I will m...

-Matthew 28: 5-7 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.” Quote:  “The Res...

18 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, ‘These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass: 19 “I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. 20 Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to tea...

Let's address the social media propaganda of some atheists and cultists that keep pushing  false assertions that Jesus Christ never existed and He is just another religious myth that followers blindly believe- In the past few decades, many books and films such as Zeitgeist, Religulous, and the Davinci Code made bold claims that Jesus Christ was a fabricated myth combining Eastern mythology an...

Hebrews 11:1  “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" Theologically Saving Faith is the belief, on God’s authority, of whatsoever is revealed in His Word concerning Christ; accepting and resting upon Him alone for justification and eternal life. It is wrought in the heart by the Holy Spirit and is accompanied by saving grace and leads to a life of hol...

let’s start this series with the doctrine of Sin and the Fall of Man . many religious systems don’t believe in the concept of sin. Today we see the rapid rise of Christian denominations that no longer preach against sinful behavior or teach the doctrine of original sin.  the word for sin is Hamartia (ham-ar-tee’-ah) meaning an offense, or missing the mark.  an archer shooting an arrow that misses...

In 2021, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists declared a national health emergency for child and teen mental health.    LifeWay researchers found suicide impacts the local church greatly but few resources are available for those struggling-  poll revealed 76% of churchgoers believe leaders should address this issue more fully and offer b...

The Supremacy of Jesus Christ: why this core doctrine should matter to the local church. This doctrine of Supremacy is a core historical doctrine for 2000 years, yet today it is being watered down in many of our seminaries and local churches in America.  When the Bible declares that Jesus is the only way to heaven, because He alone is God- some church leaders and pastors deny this truth because th...

In this episode we will look at money, tithing, stewardship, fame and personal value. I’ve been reading through Proverbs and Ecclesiastes this past month which prompted me to do this episode- In Ecclesiastes  the main point Solomon is making is be wise in all areas of your life- seek wisdom from the Lord, in money matters, acclaim, relationships, worship. And wisdom begins with the fear of the Lor...

Part 4 of the New Age Movement session- Keep in mind that the basic premise of New Age thought is that by looking within yourself with the help of outside esoteric agents (such as spirit guides, space aliens, mediums, angels, gurus, familiar spirits, shamans, etc.) then being able to achieve altered states of consciousness, you can attain the Christ Consciousness or Universal Mind. You then will r...

The New Age Movement and it's influence on 21st century churches. 2 Cor. 4:4 “in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”    A new age theological example is t he current Emergent Church Movement which came out of this syncretistic mindset:the Core principle is...

Part Two: The New Age Movement. How this occult system has influenced the modern church in the USA. New Age Leader and Theosophist Alice Bailey had a 10 point plan she and her theosophical group began to implement in the late 1950’s with a goal of it coming to fruition by the year 2000, or what they termed the “Dawn of the Age of Aquarius”  -I will condense these 10 points from her writings: 1. Ta...

Part One: The New Age Movement Today we will look at how the NAM has influenced all parts of our society and many church denominations.

We are not seeing much power in the American church in light of this serious issue of Christians grieving the Holy Spirit...I believe it is directly related to the fact that there is seemingly little, or no fear of God within the average Christian today… again….Proverbs 9:10 says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” F or example, w...

As Christians we need to take seriously the issue of sin and how it grieves the Holy Spirit of God that indwells us. Ephesians 4:30 we see this warning   “ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” So What grieves the Holy Spirit?  All sin grieves the Lord-  We like our laundry list of sins and categorize them.....lying is not as bad as sexual si...

There is one body and one Spirit just as you were called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism; One God and Father of all, who is above all and through all, and in you all. -Ephesians 4: 4-6 Greek: Baptizo (bap-tid’-zo) immerse, to submerge, to baptize now let’s take a look at the 3 Governmental systems in place historically to bring more clarity to the baptism ordinance we...
