    The Threat To The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 5, 2020
     | 4,611 views

    The early church has to contend with the false teachings of the Judaisers and Pharisees and to affirm the belief that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

    Hello everyone. Good to meet up online again, to remember the Lord together, to worship Him and hear from His Word. • We are going to look at Acts 15 today, where a council was convened in Jerusalem to answer a very important question: “How are we saved?” • Supposed we died and stood before God ...read more

    There are those today, both outside, and unfortunately, inside the church, that are functioning like computer viruses. Through false teaching and unbiblical belief they are destroying the church.

    TELLING TRUTH FROM A LIE Text: 1 John 2:18-27 Introduction 1. Illustration: I remember hearing about computer viruses. Could a computer catch a germ? I then learned that computer viruses were often malicious programs, developed by evil-doers, to destroy computers. They are often downloaded ...read more

    It is a daily, ongoing, sometimes painful process of letting God strip away everything false in us until what remains is authentic, real, and true.

    Title: Dry, Barren, Lifeless Intro: It is a daily, ongoing, sometimes painful process of letting God strip away everything false in us until what remains is authentic, real, and true.

    Where Is Your Bed?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 4, 2025
     | 186 views

    Jesus replaces false hope with wholeness, calling us to rise from spiritual paralysis, carry redeemed stories, and walk in restored identity and purpose.

    PART 1 — THE BED YOU’VE BEEN LYING ON There is a place in Jerusalem that almost no one visited with joy. They did not come singing. They did not come expecting a miracle. They came because they were stuck. They came because they were broken. They came because they had nowhere else to go. It was ...read more

    The Charge Against Him

    Contributed by Bruce Lee on May 28, 2025
     | 108 views

    There is really only one question that we must answer about Jesus and that is was “The Charge Against Him” that resulted in His crucifixion true or false.

    The Charge Against Him “Above his head they placed the written charge against him: THIS IS JEUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.” Matthew 27:37 Intro: There is really only one question that we must answer about Jesus and that is was “The Charge Against Him” that resulted in His crucifixion true or ...read more

    The Fall Of Babylon Series

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Oct 7, 2021
     | 1,667 views

    If the beast destroys the religious system to establish his own system of worship, what will happen to all the wealth the false religious system has accumulated?

    Last week we saw the rise and fall of the great harlot, the false religious system that will exist during the tribulation. We saw the influence of this religious system and how she controlled and was supported by the Antichrist. We saw her influence on all nations and kings. We also saw her fall as ...read more

    A Square Inch Of Hell Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 7, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,034 views

    Why did Jesus talk so much about hell? It's not a real popular topic even today and its hard to think it would have been then. What possible reason would Jesus have for stressing it during His ministry?

    OPEN: There’s a small town in Michigan, about 60 miles west of Detroit. It’s a small community of about 80 people, and the name of this little town is (pause) Hell... Hell, Michigan. It always seems to make the news during the winter time, when newspapers joke about HELL FREEZING OVER. They ...read more

    based on 95 ratings
     | 13,528 views

    The "health and wealth" doctrine is a heresy. But it uses many sound Biblical truths in its false teaching. Do you know what one basic truth they’ve left out?

    OPEN: Ray Stedman shared the true story of a man who lived in Houston that received a letter from a large international radio broadcast seeking support from Christians for their broadcasting. They sent out a letter - the kind that is double-spaced, every sentence is a paragraph, and they ...read more

    Action And Reaction

    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,964 views

    Why is it that we so often look for the negative in situations and fall back on fault-finding and grumbling?

    Action and Reaction I am not a scientist by any stretch of the imagination but I have, for some unknown reason, always remembered since my school-going days Sir Isaacs Newton’s third law of motion. I know that all of you are thoroughly familiar with it – but just in case you’ve momentarily ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 11,660 views

    Too many people say they speak for God. How can you know who really is? The occult is not the answer. God through Moses gives us two tests for discerning real prophets from false ones. And we find that Jesus is the greatest prophet of all!

    Deuteronomy 18:14-22 How to Pick a Prophet Prophets with a Purpose: Week 3 We are in a five-week series called “Prophets with a Purpose.” We began with Samuel, the great priest and prophet of Israel. Last week we looked at Jonah, the reluctant prophet. And today we’ll discuss two of the greatest ...read more

    Contributed by John Lowe on Nov 9, 2019
     | 3,847 views

    Paul faced severe criticism; false brethren questioned his Apostleship, and they were constantly assaulting his character and attacking his reputation; particularly here at Corinth.

    Grace From Galatians (7 0f 19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022
     | 1,380 views

    The false religions of the world have one thing in common. They all desire to put people under bondage. Why do they want to put people under bondage? This is their way of keeping their members under their control.

    For example to understand that, we have to consider a dictator like Saddam Hussein. Why did he use intimidation, torture and death as a means to control the people of Iraq? The people in Iraq were afraid to say anything bad about him for fear that he would have them killed. Illus: Let me give you ...read more

    The Deadly Art Of Idolmaking

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 19, 2025
     | 94 views

    Idolatry isn’t about statues; it’s anything we trust more than God, but Christ calls us from these false securities into an unbreakable covenant of love.

    Introduction – An Unforgettable Ride It’s just as well that I have forgotten most of my hitchhiking stories. But one memory has stayed with me, as clear as if it happened yesterday. Back in April of 1975, I was hitchhiking in the early spring. It seemed like winter, even though the calendar said ...read more

    Rooted In Jesus

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 1,547 views

    The fact that believers are in a state of being complete in Christ indicates that there is nothing of a higher spiritual blessing to be found anywhere else including, but not limited to, this false Gnostic philosophy found in Colosse.

    Opening illustration: There was once a farmer who went to town to purchase seeds for his farm. As he was returning home one of the squash seeds he had purchased fell from his pocket onto the ground. It happened that within a few feet was another seed of a different type. The place where the two ...read more
