Jacob continues his exposition in Jeremiah 20:7–18 , focusing on Jeremiah’s inner turmoil after persecution from the priestly establishment (context from Jeremiah 20:1–6 ): Jeremiah laments that the Lord “deceived/overpowered” him and that he has become a daily object of mockery ( Jeremiah 20:7–8 ), yet he admits he cannot stop speaking because God’s word is like a “burning fire… in my bones” ( Je...

Pastor Marco teaches that the Transfiguration is far more than a dramatic moment in Jesus’ ministry; it is a prophetic revelation of the resurrection, the rapture, and the coming kingdom. By placing the event at Caesarea Philippi—a center of pagan worship, false gods, and imperial power—he highlights the contrast between false saviors and the true Christ. Jesus’ declaration that the “gates of Hade...

This concluding episode of Lessons in Forgiveness emphasizes that forgiveness is not optional but essential to living the abundant life Christ offers. Drawing from John 10:10 and several illustrations, Sandy explains how unforgiveness becomes a heavy spiritual burden that keeps believers trapped in the past, distorts relationships, and robs both the forgiver and the forgiven of freedom and joy. Fo...

In this segment, Pastor Marco introduces a study of Haggai by arguing that Christians need to “bathe” in God’s Word by learning Scripture in its full-book context rather than relying on isolated verses, because God gave the Bible as books with coherent themes and purpose. He contrasts human wisdom (like Confucius, who mixed insight with historical errors) with Haggai’s brief but fully reliable pro...

 In this teaching, James Jacob Prasch argues that the church first went wrong by exceeding what is written in Scripture and replacing apostolic authority with tradition, a pattern he traces to early post-apostolic developments and later institutional Christianity. Using passages such as 1 Corinthians 4:6 , Isaiah 29 , Mark 7 , Matthew 15 , Deuteronomy 4 , Proverbs 30 , and Revelation 22 , he conte...

 In this extensive prophetic teaching, Jacob Prasch traces the biblical and historical progression of Babylon as a spiritual system , beginning with the Tower of Babel and moving through Pergamum, Rome, and ultimately toward Jerusalem, arguing that Satan’s strategy has always been to counterfeit God’s kingdom through false religion, political power, and human self-deification. Drawing from Genesis...

Jacob Prasch continues his exposition of Jeremiah 19 into the opening of Jeremiah 20, emphasizing that God’s announced judgment on Jerusalem was not something the Lord “wanted” but something forced by persistent refusal to repent, as the people made God’s house “alien” through idolatry, immorality, and the shedding of innocent blood—paralleling this with modern church apostasies (interfaith worshi...

Pastor Marco frames Acts 1 as the necessary “what’s next” after the resurrection: Jesus ascends, but His mission continues through a new body on earth—the church—by the power of the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes that Luke–Acts is one continuous account designed to connect later believers to the first generation, and he traces the Holy Spirit’s role from Jesus’ conception, baptism, temptation, ministr...

Sandy stresses the urgency of forgiveness because time is short and Christ’s return is imminent. Unforgiveness is described as a lifestyle sin that can block spiritual growth, rob believers of God’s blessings, and even leave sin unresolved before death or Christ’s return. The speaker challenges the common excuse of “working on forgiveness,” arguing that forgiveness is a decisive act of obedience e...

Amos concludes with a final, weighty question: will the story end in judgment, or will it end in restoration? Pastor Marco traces the unavoidable justice of God against persistent sin, while also highlighting God’s mercy and covenant faithfulness that promises renewal beyond ruin. Amos does not minimize judgment—but it also refuses to leave God’s people without hope. The closing vision points forw...

 In this teaching, James Jacob examines where the church first went wrong by abandoning apostolic authority in favor of patristic (church-father), papal, or institutional authority , warning that this shift opened the door to enduring deception. Drawing on Acts 20:28–30 , 2 Peter 2:1–3 , 2 Corinthians 11:1–5 , Revelation 2:2 , Numbers 16 , 2 Timothy 1:19–20; 2:17; 4:14 , and 3 John 9–10 , he shows...

 Biblical prophecy and progressive revelation; the sealing and unsealing of Daniel and Revelation; the Four Horsemen and the identity of Antichrist; the danger of conspiracy theories and speculative prophecy; discerning Scripture before interpreting current events; the Antichrist as a counterfeit of Christ; false peace and false unity; the limits of dogmatism in eschatology; Daniel’s visions (the...

Jacob Prasch continues his Jeremiah study (Jeremiah 18:11 onward), using the “potter and clay” warning as a parallel to what he sees as modern apostasy in the Church of England: he warns us of the British monarchy and Anglican leadership for abandoning the Reformation heritage (e.g., the 39 Articles and the martyrs), highlights perceived doctrinal collapse around ecumenism and LGBTQ affirmation, a...

James Kitizaki of Moriel Ministries delivers a sober yet hope-filled message that contrasts the joy of worship with the growing cost of Christian faithfulness in an increasingly hostile culture. He opens with a powerful personal account of a Christian believer in Iraq who, despite being disowned by family and targeted by authorities for his faith in Christ, expressed profound joy rooted solely in...

In this episode of Lessons on Forgiveness , Sandy Simpson examines the biblical teaching that only God can forgive sins , while believers are called to forgive others in their hearts for personal offenses. Drawing from Ephesians 1:7 and Colossians 1:14 , he explains that forgiveness before the Father comes solely through redemption in Christ. Simpson emphasizes that some sins—especially false teac...

In Amos 8, the prophecy reaches a chilling clarity: the end is not hypothetical anymore—it is announced. Pastor Marco unpacks the urgency of this chapter, where God confronts exploitative economics, religious hypocrisy, and hardened hearts that refuse correction. The warning intensifies with the sobering reality of spiritual famine—a time when people will search for the word of the Lord and not fi...

In this teaching, Jacob Prasch addresses the widespread confusion surrounding discernment in the modern church, arguing that discernment is a universal Christian responsibility , not a specialized or standalone ministry. He explains that while Scripture affirms a spiritual gift of discerning spirits, biblical discernment itself comes from rightly handling God’s Word and sound doctrine. Prasch warn...

In this teaching, Jacob Prasch offers a detailed exposition of Revelation 6 and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, interpreting them through the lens of Old Testament prophecy—especially Zechariah 1 & 6 , Job 1 , Jeremiah 14 , and Ezekiel 14 —and Jesus’ teaching in the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24) . He explains how the visions in Zechariah historically applied to the end of the Babylonian c...

Jacob Prasch opens with prayer and then teaches from Jeremiah 18’s “potter and clay” image to argue that God’s sovereignty is never arbitrary: judgment comes in response to unrepentant sin after God calls people to turn back, and in Jeremiah the immediate context concerns nations (Judah/Israel) rather than individuals. From there he critiques Calvinism for, in his view, misreading Romans 9 by deta...

Sandy frames the lesson around “Who must I forgive?” arguing that Christians must forgive repentant believers within the church as well as enemies and persecutors, because unforgiveness gives Satan strategic leverage; drawing on passages like 2 Corinthians 2, Colossians 3:13, Ephesians 4:32, and Galatians 6, he stresses forgiveness as release and restoration while distinguishing it from immediate...

Amos 7 turns the spotlight fully inward: God measures His own people, not the pagans first. Pastor Marco explains why judgment begins in the house of God and how spiritual leadership, worship, and public religion can become corrupted while still claiming God’s name. As Amos faces resistance for telling the truth, this chapter exposes the ongoing conflict between faithful preaching and a culture th...

 The Word That Endures Forever: Creeds, Canon, and the Test of Doctrinal Consistency   In this foundational teaching, Jacob Prasch examines the nature of biblical Christianity by contrasting the unchanging authority of Scripture with the evolving doctrines of religion. Beginning with the early creeds—the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed—he explains how the “line of faith” preserved essential C...

 In this uncompromising teaching, Jacob Prasch expounds Revelation 13 and the doctrine of Antichrist by tracing its biblical patterns across both Testaments, exposing how deception precedes domination. He explains that before the mark, the image, or 666 , Antichrist first comes as a counterfeit savior —working signs and wonders, promoting a false humanitarianism, and advancing a social gospel that...

 Continuing in Jeremiah 17:19–27 , this teaching addresses the meaning of the Sabbath—not as a legalistic observance, but as a prophetic sign pointing to Christ Himself. By examining Scripture from Jeremiah, the Gospels, Romans, Colossians, and Hebrews, the message explains why Sabbath-keeping was treated as a matter of life and death under the Old Covenant and how its true fulfillment is found in...
