Trickery Of Satan - The Doctrine Of Balaam

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jul 4, 2020

The way of Balaam is the trickery of the devil even today. What he cannot do by cursing and fighting from the outside, he tries to do from the inside. Satan knows that he cannot stop God from blessing His people. So he tries all means to prevent those blessings from reaching us.

Revelation 2:14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality. Who is this Balaam? Balaam was a ...read more

You've Been Marked!

Contributed by Je Layugan on Oct 17, 2023

Frail Frames Forecast Future Fixedness

Contributed by Mack Armstrong on Jul 28, 2008

David was so true when he said that we are made of dust; likewise, he was true when he said that God is aware of our earthly/dust made bodies. God, in His wisdom has made it possible that once we lay down our dust made bodies, we can inherit a new body.

Hot Or Not? #5 Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Aug 22, 2020

God wants us to allow Him to consume us — God wants our all. We need to be on fire for Him. But as it turns out, many times we are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, for Him. Being lukewarm will keep us from a relationship with God and keep us from inheriting eternal life with God.

Contributed by Jeffery Russell on Aug 9, 2023

Will you be bored in Heaven? That’s because so many of us make it sound that way. In this message I hope to point out some popular myths about Heaven, as well as to explore some activities/work we'll be doing there, as well as to say "good-bye" to our Earth-bound curses!

Is It Possible The Church Has Misunderstood Malachi 3:8-11? Series

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jan 2, 2018

Christians have been taught that the tithe is a "spiritual bill" they must pay in order to keep the "windows of heaven" open. Is it possible that this passage is being used to teach something that it does not teach?

Gaining A Heart Of Wisdom Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 16, 2021

Life is short! We must invest our time in that which is of eternal value. All that glitters is not gold. The vanities of this world are of much less value than "gaining a heart of wisdom" (Ps. 90:12). This message leads into Jesus's parable about finding a treasure in Matthew 13:44.

What do you value most in life? The question is not what you should value most. The question is what do you value most in life? The answer to that question is not found in what we say we value. The answer is found in how we invest our lives—how we invest the precious minutes, hours, and days of ...read more
