    Testing Spirits In The World

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 9, 2020
     | 3,544 views

    Often we are led into error by our ignorance of the Word of God and His character. Often when we hear the voices of those in authority we believe whatever they say without question. Are we armed with, "the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God?"

    Testing Spirits Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Titus 3:3-5 “At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. “But when the ...read more

    Discerning The Source Series

    John is saying there are and will be a lot of deep fakes in the world. Not everything that claims to be spiritual is genuinely spiritual. The big question is how will we be able to distinguish between what’s real and what’s fake? How do we know if something is from God or not?

    Today, we come to the 4th sermon in our Walking with Jesus series. As we read through the book of 1 John, we see that God is not only preparing us for what we need for the present but also for the future. 1 John 4:1-21 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether ...read more

     | 6,855 views

    It can feel like defending the Unadulterated Word of God, fighting against false teachers, false doctrines, and heretics is a losing battle in a world. However, we can be encouraged knowing that we are victorious because verse 4 says, “Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.

    “Greater is He” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - Often when we look around at the condition of the world and especially the condition of the church in the world today, we can be discouraged after trying to defend the Word of God and hold up a standard of Holiness causing us to feel as ...read more

    The phrase He that hath an ear let him hear appears 14 times in the Bible this is interesting because the number 14 is considered to be a symbol of salvation and deliverance. The 14th day of the 1st Hebrew month called Nisan is the Passover.

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jun 2, 2021
     | 11,654 views

    Knowing who we are in Christ is vital. Without it, we can be confused, lost, and have no meaning and purpose in our lives, and therefore, fail to accomplish God's plans for us. This is the first sermon series on "Our Identity in Christ."

    Last week we learned from Romans 12:3 the importance of having a correct understanding of ourselves. Otherwise, we can become arrogant, feel that we are great, smart, strong, and right, when in fact it is not. Or conversely, we can become inferior, not realizing the gifts and abilities that God has ...read more

    Divisions Over Spiritual Gifts

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Sep 11, 2024
     | 446 views

    Many divisions have occurred in Christian assemblies for centuries. Understanding or misunderstanding Spiritual Gifts given by grace to mankind from God has been the cause for divisions. Are these gifts still present today? Are they utilized properly?

    Most of the time, assemblies of persons desiring to worship Almighty God will be filled with those who had been introduced to God by attending an assembly with their parents and grand-parents. However, some may be in attendance who never knew much concerning God and spiritual things. Now they are ...read more

After addressing the nine gifts of the Spirit in the first part of 1 Cor. 12, Paul introduced an analogy of the human body to teach these believers the importance of valuing and caring for one another. On the one hand, these Corinthians are doing a ...read more
