The wise men that followed the star to find Jesus were magi. They practiced astrology, the act of divining the heavens. They used the stars to read signs and omens as well as a number of other sinful practices. Why would God provide a star during the time of Jesus' birth if He knew that people would interpret it using astrology? He did so because He knew the wise men would eventually follow it. Re...

You may know some constellations and possibly your Zodiac sign. You may also know that the phases of the moon have some effect on the earth as well as mammalian behavior. All of that is fine. However, if you begin to read the stars and practice astrology, or divining the heavens, then that is a sin. Remember that only God is divine. Therefore, if you attribute divination to the heavens and seek in...

Your word is your bond. That is all you need. Don't swear oaths on anything. As a Christian, your word is already bound by Christ. Therefore, swearing an oath on something else means that you are putting your trust in something less than Christ. Don't do that. Of course, there may be times when you need to swear an earthly oath to hold an office or a position. That is okay. But you must remember w...

God has given you many gifts and talents. Use them. Don't simply let them sit around and go to waste. If you don't use the gifts that God has given you then they are useless to you and they will be taken away and given to someone else who will make use of them. Don't let your gifts be useless. Make them useful. Use your gifts so you don't lose them. Show God that you can be trusted with the gifts...

God gave you two eyes, two ears, and one mouth. Therefore, you need to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. You need to watch and listen four times more than you speak. This can be very difficult. However, think how much Jesus listens to you. He listens to you A LOT. Make an effort to be more like Jesus and listen to others a little more often. It will do wonders in their l...

As you've learned over the past few weeks, you need to step into your role as a member of the body of Christ and be the church. Part of that means you need to gather with other members of the body. A great place to gather is at the physical location of your local church. Yes, it is important for you to regularly attend church. Your spirit needs to be fed exactly as your body needs to be fed. Go to...

As a Christian, you are a member of the body of Christ. The body of Christ is the church. Therefore, you need to be the church. Of course, you cannot be the church by yourself. After all, you are only one part of the body and the body has many parts. All of those parts are required in order to have a perfectly functioning body. You cannot be the church alone. Therefore, you need to gather with oth...

The church is not a place, it's a people. You need to be the church. As a Christian, you are a vital part of the body of Christ. That is the church. Step into your role and BE THE CHURCH. Let your light shine and be a good representation of Christ. Show others that being a Christian is better than not being a Christian. Help them receive what you already have and show them how to change their live...

Today we begin a 4-part sermon series about the importance of knowing who to follow and how to do it. Knowing who to follow is simple. You must follow Jesus. Knowing how to follow Jesus is a little more difficult. Fortunately, God gave us a great roadmap to show us exactly how to do it. The Bible is our owner's manual for life. In it, we can learn everything we need to know on how to follow Jesus....

There are two main reasons why God would something bad to happen in your life. The first reason is to provide you with a course correction. To get you back on the right path. That doesn't necessarily mean you are doing something wrong, but it might. So evaluate your situation and make sure. The second reason is that there is a supernatural battle going on about which you know nothing. This is a mo...

It isn't your job to judge other people. That means that you cannot condemn anyone or think negatively about anyone's situation or circumstances. Yes, it is a lot more than passing a judgment in the traditional definition of the term. God wants you to think positively about others. Even if the situation someone is in is their own fault, it isn't your place to judge them. Leave that up to God. For...

Living in sin is living in separation from God. Being separated from God is a curse in and of itself. However, there are additional curses that have been carried down through generations based on the actions of certain individuals. This is pretty serious. It means that if there is some type of sin that struggle with, it could negatively affect your children and your children's children. It is a ge...

What is a good Christian? It's simple. The more you are like Jesus the better Christian you are. The thing is, it isn't a ranking system. You see, we've all fallen short. No one is good enough. But that's okay. We've been saved by grace. Therefore, we must understand that we cannot do it on our own. We need Jesus and as a way to express our love for Jesus, we strive to be more like Him each and ev...

September has been a good month for us at Social Media Ministries. We have been maintaining and working toward growth and progress. Of course, we need your help. Please comment on our videos and posts. Please pray for us.

Humanity began existence in a perfect world. It truly was paradise. Then, one day, the devil led the woman into sin and her husband with her. Through one man the world was lost and given over to Satan. Centuries passed and mankind lived in separation from God having to constantly sacrifice to atone for our sins. That is until one man, Jesus, became the eternal sacrifice and paid for the sins of th...

Now that you are using your Bible you need to be able to understand it. After all, if you are reading it and not understanding it then it isn't much use to you. In order for the Bible to truly change your life, you need to be able to understand what it says. Of course, listening to and watching sermons is a great way to gain some of that understanding. However, you also want to be able to gain tha...

Do you use your Bible? I mean read it rather than using it as a decoration or placeholder on the shelf. Your Bible has the power to change your life. The word is living and active. It is a great way for you to improve your relationship with God. If you're not using it, then it is worthless to you. It's similar to any other possession you have. If you're not using it, it has no worth to you. Don't...

Tithing is a touchy subject among churches and ministries. Many people choose to falsely believe that churches are only out to get your money. The sad reality is that there are some organizations that abuse the rule of being a charity. However, it isn't all organizations. Therefore, it's up to you to discern that. The concept of tithing money is something that Christians are taught to do as an act...

Specifically that we would be able to find regular financial support and that our sermons wo...

Your faith is like a muscle. If you don't use it, you'll begin to lose it. How do you use your faith? You need to be constantly seeking God. Stay in the word. Pray, read your Bible, fellowship with other Christians, go to church, engage in Bible studies, et cetera. It's also important to stretch your faith. Take a leap of faith every now and then. Get out of your comfort zone and allow God to be t...

If you are a follower of Christ then that should reflect in your children. In the same way, you are a reflection of God your children are a reflection of you. Make sure that when they are out in the world that they are behaving in a way that would make God happy. It is your duty to raise Godly children. Children who are disciplined and well-behaved. Who respect their elders and follow what the Bib...

If you are struggling with some type of sin whether it is internal thoughts or external actions you need to seek Jesus. Your sin harms those around you. Even if it is something internal or something that you don't think has an effect on other people, it still does. The actions you do affect everyone around you, and not in a good way. Your spouse, children, friends, et cetera are all negatively aff...

After Great Britain, Russia, the three countries Russia absorbed, and Germany, combine to form the fourth beast. There will be complete chaos. Of course, they will have France and potentially nine other nations backing them as well. Virtually every country in Europe and Asia will be united in their quest to destroy the Abrahamic faiths. Of course, destroying Judaism and Islam will be easier than d...
