    First John 14:1-6 teaches us how to discern between truth and error.

    Scripture Let’s suppose you are new to town and you are looking for a place to worship and belong. And let’s suppose you visit a worshiping community, pick up a bulletin, and sit down. You read the mission of the group, which is as follows: “The mission of the [Blank] Temple is to encourage ...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 is time to return to seek the old prophets as many of the the new ones have missed the mark and are suspect.

    2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 1John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but ...read more

    Communism: The Spirit Of Antichrist In Our Age

     | 3,840 views

    The Apostle John wrote that in his day, the spirit of Antichrist was already at work in the world. It has not changed. The spirit of Antichrist is still at work in our day.

    COMMUNISM: THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST IN OUR AGE TEXT: “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the ...read more

    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.

    Contributed by Cesar Datuin on Aug 9, 2021
     | 6,464 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

    In an age of apostasy, be careful of what you hear and even see.

    1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain ...read more

    When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we have the capacity to love in the very same way God loves. But so many Christians don't understand what it means to love like God loves.

    John 3:16 is a verse we learn very, very early in life, even before we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. My Mom and Dad, and I’m sure your Mom and Dad too, repeated this verse to us as children. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him ...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

    Jonah was a prophet of God sent with a prophetic word for the people of Nineveh. In today’s context, ‘How can we discern who is a true prophet of God and who are false?’ God’s word gives us clear instructions on how to test and treat prophecies.

    We read in Jonah 3:3-4, “So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city, of three days' journey. And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be ...read more
