Sermons on Falsely Accused:

The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 1:2-10 - Message 2 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 27, 2023

Paul takes on the false teachers with no holes barred. Twice he states that they be accursed. This message examines the false gospel that had ensnared the Galatian churches to bring the grace of God into disrepute. True grace of God has no part in keeping the Law.

THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 1:2-10 - MESSAGE 2 This message continues from Part 1 (A). PAUL’S COMPANIONS IN UNITY AND CONFIRMATION {{Galatians 1:2 “and all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia.”}} This wonderful truth of brotherhood strengthens the purpose of the ...read more

Facing The Court Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 16, 2008

The Apostle Paul has put himself in harms way and now stands before a Roman court. Thanks to the Lord working through other people, he is bold to share his faith - a boldness we can have too.

As we saw in verse 11 of chapter 23, Jesus’ will was for Paul to go to Rome. Paul may have not known just how he was going to get there but here he was in Roman custody, having barely escaped being torn to death twice—first by the Asian Jews in the Temple and second by the Sanhedrin itself. What ...read more

Jesus: How To Be A Follower In Times Of Despair Series

Contributed by Rick Long on Feb 12, 2004

Fourth in the series "Meet the Cast." As you study Jesus’ life you realize that even though He did not lay aside his deity, He did humble himself as a man, to serve all humanity. So Jesus understands what we are facing in our lives.

I love the way “The Passion of The Christ” movie begins, with the reminder that 400 years before Jesus was born his sacrifice was foretold in a vivid way. Isaiah 53:5 (LB) But he was wounded and bruised for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace; he was lashed--and we were healed! ...read more

Malachi Chapter 3 Has Nothing To Do With The False Prosperity Doctrine – Nothing Whatever (In The Jude Series) Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 24, 2022

The preachers of the “health and wealth” teaching - the "prosperity doctrine", love this chapter in Malachi but they are totally wrong in the exegesis. They use this chapter to rake in money from people. False teachers lead people into a desire for greed and then scam money from them.

MALACHI CHAPTER 3 HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FALSE PROSPERITY DOCTRINE – NOTHING WHATEVER This message has been placed in the JUDE series because Balaam is very much to the fore. Balaam was a focus in Jude’s letter. The preachers who subscribe to the “health and wealth” teaching otherwise known ...read more

Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 23 – The Religious Classes Were Superficial And Acted Corruptly – Challenges – Greedy And False Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 6, 2024

Living in a society where all is greed and false is not pleasant, but when this is worst among the religious class, it is especially wicked. Jeremiah faced this problem. The arrogance of today’s western world is almost unbelievable. Serious problems are addressed superficially.

Do Not Let Your Glad Hand Become Your Sad Hand

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on May 23, 2020

In Southern culture handshaking is also known as glad handing. Be discerning when who give the right hand of fellowship lest that glad hand become a sad one when that person or group proves to not be what they seem to be.

Principles and practices that will help us to finish well.

Perhaps, like me, you were first attracted to the idea of becoming a disciple of Jesus because you thought that was the road to an easier life. In my case, I was led to believe that if I just prayed a certain prayer to Jesus, that would keep me out of hell one day when I died. That sounded like a ...read more

Who Has Got Your Tongue? Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 7, 2015

Controlling the tongue. Why is it so hard? Is the control of the tongue a valid indicator of our spiritual condition? James give us some illustrations that are very useful in defining the ravages of an out of control tongue.

Let’s ponder on this for a moment before we plunge into today’s Scripture. 1 Samuel 2:2 “There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides You; there is no Rock like our God.” If you are a son or daughter of God you are one of the most privileged souls in the ...read more

From Dust To Life: Tested And Transformed

Contributed by Brian Williams on Jan 26, 2026

Why did Joseph stir up the pain of the past, what did he constantly awaken the consciousness of their failures? What was the purpose, what did it accomplish? Gen 44 speaks hope into the past so that we do not have to bring into the future.

In real life, people carry the weight of brokenness—family dysfunction, personal failures, neglect, and wounds that often go unspoken. What do we normally do with the dysfunction? Cover it up and move on. This next chapter in Genesis speaks hope into these areas of brokenness. God shows us how our ...read more
