    You can't control what people do to you or what they say about you...but God can.

    6 In it was written, “It is reported among the nations, and Geshem also says it, that you and the Jews intend to rebel; that is why you are building the wall. And according to these reports you wish to become their king. 7 And you have also set up prophets to proclaim concerning you in Jerusalem, ...read more

    The king of Moab had a problem: Israel was near his territory. He called on Balaam to come and curse Israel. This king gave Balaam what might be considered the opportunity of a lifetime. How did Balaam respond?

    (Edited from and based on a message preached Sunday evening, 2-16-25 at New Hope Baptist Church of Fulton, MO; this is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: The story of Balaam is, or at least used to be, one of the saddest in the entire Bible. It seems he knew the One True God and could ...read more

    In a world that often tries to shape us, discovering our true identity in Christ can be transformative. Many people struggle to define themselves based on past mistakes, societal pressures, or personal achievements.

     | 16,311 views

    The most critical teaching in the Christian faith – accepting and living in who we truly are in Christ. We call this our identity in Christ.

    Last Sunday we began a series of lessons on what’s arguably the most critical teaching in the Christian faith – accepting and living in who we truly are in Christ. We call this our identity in Christ – and as I shared last Sunday – as believers in Christ – our identity is not determined by who we ...read more

    A sermon preached on Confirmation Sunday/3rd Sunday after Pentecost (proper 4) at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa.

    Well, today is the big day! Confirmation Sunday! In a few moments, these 12 young people will stand in front of this altar, and make some pretty big promises.

    Guarding Against Antichrists Series

    We look at the fifth test that proves if one really knows God. Are we guarding against antichrists?

    As we look at the seven tests that prove if we really know God we can get a little lost as I try to explain them. Kind of like the time when the husband stayed home while his wife went to church. When she got back he asked her what the preacher preached about. She said, “I don’t ...read more

    Pretended religion doesn't work, but where believers come together in unity and pray, the anointing of God comes and the demonic powers are on the retreat.

    Fatal Attraction

    Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Oct 25, 2022

     | 4,145 views

    Most of the church today is being enticed by a fatal attraction that is pulling them away from God. What is a fatal attraction? A fatal attraction is that which in the beginning seems attractive and irresistible, but in the end, it will totally destroy you.

    Turn to Exodus the 20th chapter as we delve into the Word of God with this sermon, "The Fatal Attraction". Consider the barrage of benefits to America if we would obey the Ten Commandments. Overnight, this nation would be completely different. We would be honoring the God of the Bible ...read more

    The Several Antichrists

    Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Aug 12, 2020
     | 1,530 views

    These are the tares present in the church but have never been a part of the body of Christ. The existence of the many antichrists in the church describes those that were not really believers. The Bible describes them as those without root, the tares in the church.

    In the first part of this writing, we had examined the spirit behind the antichrist called the spirit of the antichrist or the spirit of error. In this second part, we shall do well to reveal the several antichrists that exist in the church. These studies shall help to identify the marks of those ...read more
