    Postmodernity has given birth to the idea that all spiritual views are simply different roads that lead to God. We have created a confusing web of “spiritual paths” for those on a quest to know God. John gives a process for gaining and maintaining our bearings while on our spiritual journey.

     | 6,283 views

    What Satan can do to us is to set fear in our hearts and mind. What can Christians do to defeat the enemy? In this sermon we will be taught how to know Satan schemes and how to defeat him.

    Introduction: One of the fiercest and the deadliest animals in the jungle is the lion. And because of its roar, all the animals are scared of it. Lions may be not that big as giraffe nor the elephants, but because of its strength, loudness of his voice, size doesn’t matter. Lion is still considered ...read more

    Some believe that there is coming a world ruler, a personal Antichrist, who will appear shortly before the Second Coming of Christ. But what does the Bible say?

Agreement about the who, what, when, where, and how is in short supply. You will get different answers depending on who is preaching, teaching, or selling what their ...read more

    We all face a test in one form or another. Our walk with the Lord might just determine the severity of that test.

    The Sin Test: 1 John 3:4-7 (6) • Committing a sin and remaining in sin are two separate issues. • Some believe that committing a sin is the only way to sin. • James 4:17 – therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin • Jesus came to take away the sins of the world, ...read more

    “We should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.” That’s not a suggestion. That’s a demand .

    Monday of Epiphany Week 2020 It’s a good idea to read St. John’s words in this first letter perhaps every week of our lives, because in it we find the key to happiness and fulfillment. John says “we receive from [God] whatever we ask.” Hmm, that’s interesting. And we recall that Jesus Himself said ...read more

    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

    We see many differences in God’s church today when we compare it to the New Testament church.

    For example, I am sure that if the apostle Paul could come back today and see the excellent buildings we worship in, he would marvel over them and see them as a big improvement compared to what they had worshipped in. But, as big a contrast as that might be, there is a greater difference he would ...read more

    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
