Nine Tests Of Prophecy Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 26, 2021

Gullible believers can be misled by false prophecies. We are told in Scripture to judge all prophecy. This message equips Christians with nine tests to determine whether a prophecy, dream, vision, etc. is from God.

During the last two messages, we have addressed the need to judge prophetic ministry. Last week we learned from the story in 1 Kings 13 where the failure to judge a prophecy cost a man his life. It led him astray, and he was killed by a lion. Jesus warned about the increase in deception that ...read more

Sermon On Discord

Contributed by William Meakin on Jun 3, 2021

Discord has been discerned as an ineffaceable or essential lack of harmony that evokes resentment, factiousness, or antagonism.

Thriving In A Hostile Environment
