    You can never spot a counterfeit dollar if you don’t know what a real one looks like. And you will never be able to spot the false teachers if you do not know the real Teacher.

     | 4,929 views

    False prophets are not just an Old Testament problem. We have them in full force today, in all denominations, telling us that God is “doing a new thing,” misinterpreting Isaiah 43:19 to justify sin.

    Other Scriptures used: Jeremiah 23:23-29 Psalm 82 Hebrews 12:1-14 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14) False prophets are not just an ...read more

    Nine perils of allowing spiritual fruit to spoil. Failure to fully appropriate the fruits of the Spirit lead many to a false assumption that they are not doing anything wrong. (Symptons include possessiveness, frenzied actions, passivity, leniency, s

    Please, Do Not Let Your Fruit Spoil (Gal 5:22,23) Many believers are suffering needlessly because they are not allowing the Spirit of God to exhibit the fullness of the nine fruits of the Spirit in and through them.

    We see the revelation of Jesus as the coming King. It involves both a false concept and the true concept of His coming. It’s a picture of how men have seen Jesus down through the centuries.

    There is no one better to learn about true spritual leadership, then the apostle Paul himself. In a day where false teachers abound, we must make sure that we are leading God’s people the right way.

    Fail Proof Spiritual Leadership 1 Thess. 2:1-6 Intro For the sake of our study, I don’t want to start in Chapter 1, but rather in Chapter 2. For nearly half a century, beginning in the 1950’s, the world has asked the question, “Where have all the leaders gone?” During that time, society had ...read more

    When Paul left Crete, there were certain things that still needed to be set in order; there were false teachers to be silenced, and there was the pressing need for recognized spiritual guides in the assemblies. He left Titus to handle these matters.

    Chapter 1, Verses 5-9 Title: Elders in the Congregation For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you— if a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of ...read more

    Paul exhorted the church to rejoice in the Lord, even though they faced adversity, and avoid false teaching. He also emphasized that works were not enough to secure salvation. If they remained focused on the faith, they could overcome in Christ.

    Focused on the Faith Philippians 3: 1-6 As we begin to discuss the third chapter of Philippians, it appears that Paul is seeking to begin concluding his thoughts to the church. While this may have been the beginning of his conclusion, he has quite a bit more to share with them. Following the ...read more

    The first letter of John was written to Christians to help them have joy, overcome sin, recognize false teachers, and to be assured of their eternal life. To do that, believers had to recognize the reality of Jesus and a relationship with Him.

    Out of desperation Jonah offers a foxhole prayer; with no repentance, blaming God, self-righteousness and false piety. God's mercy still continues to be shown to Jonah as God rescues Jonah. It is an unanticipated outcome.

    Only by wading into the life that Christ offers and letting it wash away our sins, our false identity, our injustice and selfishness, our commitment to violence will we be recognized and worship the One who is coming in Bethlehem.

    John 1:6-8, 19-28 sets the stage for Christ’s ministry. John the Baptist was the witness to the light of Christ. He was the light that would lead people to Christ.
