    based on 7 ratings
     | 17,709 views

    False teachers don’t walk around with nametags that say, “Hi, I’m a False Teacher.” We must beware of false beliefs, faulty behavior and fake benefits.

    Spotting False Teachers 2 Peter 2:1-3 Rev. Brian Bill May 16-17, 2015 How many of you like watching infomercials? Any proud owners of the Sham-Wow, the Snuggie or the Perfect Bacon Bowl here today? Earlier this month, I read an article in the Quad-City Times called, “Infomercial Tricks ...read more

    In a culture where tolerance is the highest virtue and where sincere belief is the only thing important to faith, are Christians too exclusive in believing that Jesus is the only way to eternal life? What does that salvation look like?

    Introduction I have a confession I need to make. I have owned my cell phone for a little more than a year now. In that time, I have lost my charging cord five times. Now don’t blame me. I think it’s possible that charging a phone soon causes the cord to fade into the netherworld ...read more

    That Pesky Catholic "Et" Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 5, 2017
     | 2,731 views

    Christ taught us the basic belief of Christianity, that God is One and God is three. The God we believe in, the God who loves us so much, is Trinity–Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Ghost)

    Trinity Sunday 2017 That Pesky Catholic “Et” A wise theologian once taught me that the distinctive character of Catholic teaching is what he called the “pesky Catholic ‘et’.” That’s the word “and” in English, “y” en Español, “und” auf deutsch. Catholic teaching uses a lot of phrases containing the ...read more

    Webster's defines a paradox as: "A statement contrary to common belief. A statement that seems contradictory, unbelievable, or absurd, but that may actually be true." There are paradoxes when it comes to Christianity. Let's take a look at some of them.

    Are You A Believer Or A Receiver?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Sep 29, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,053 views

    There is a growing belief within the church that a person who is a believer in Jesus is considered a Christian and has therefore been given eternal life after they say the "sinners prayer." This is an in-depth multipart message

    This belief stems primarily from the notion that because Jesus ‘chose’ the Disciples, they were now the ‘saved’ elect, including Judas, which is why they were able to perform healings, miracles, and casting out demons in Jesus’ name. It is true that Judas was one of the multiple disciples Jesus ...read more

     | 450 views

    The Holy Spirit, in Christian theology, is considered the third person of the Holy Trinity, alongside God the Father and God the Son (Jesus Christ). The transformative power, authority, and responsibilities of the Holy Spirit are central to Christian belief and practice.

    1. Transformative Power of the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit's transformative power is evident throughout Scripture, both in individual lives and in the broader community of believers.

    America has turned its back on the God of the Bible. There are so many religions and beliefs in our country today. The only God America has rejected is the God of the Bible. The Ten Commandments are the very soul of America. This is why the Ten Commandments are so important to the people of God.

    If you have your Bible, turn to Exodus chapter 20. Today, we are going to begin a sermon series called, "The Ten Commandments: The Soul of America", starting with the message, "Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods". America has turned its back on the God of the Bible. There are so many ...read more

    Sin turned our thinking around backward. Jesus has to turn that around before we can understand anything.

    “Now on the same occasion there were some present who reported to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered this fate? 3 “I tell ...read more

    The Profitable Servant Series

     | 50,176 views

    I want to be a good servant for Jesus, but in this passage Jesus says I can do all kind of great ministry and still be an "unprofitable servant." What two things does Jesus say can stop me from being the profitable servant for Chris that I want to be?

    OPEN: The KJV translates Luke 17:10 this way: “So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.’” I don’t want to be an “unprofitable servant”.

    Some men try deliberately to deceive and fool you, but this is rare. Usually it is just a church taking hold of one particular belief, not knowing it is ungodly. It is the leadership’s job to keep watch for this. Ez 33:6.

    When Jesus arrived in Jerusalem in the last week of His life he was greeted with cheers, but He wept over the city because of their superficial beliefs and spiritual blindness. Learn the valuable personal lessons that apply to us today.
