    The church has become lukewarm, but why should we open the door to the groom?

    What will you do for love? Song of Songs 5 Marriages in the ancient Near East were usually sanctioned through civil contracts rather than through religious ceremonies As Christians we enter a covenant with God to the marriage of the Lamb Love between Israel and God, Jesus and the Church Bride ...read more

    Is the Sabbath Mandated for Christians? How should we approach the concept of the Sabbath?

    based on 8 ratings
     | 16,289 views

    Keeping religious rules and observing religious rituals in order to be close to God are only a shadow of the "real thing," a relationship with Him through Jesus.

    INTRODUCTION In the time of the early church, there were people in the churches who were teaching that once you became a Christian, you still had to obey the Jewish regulations and rituals to be religiously correct. That kind of false teaching still exists in the 21st century. In this series I’m ...read more

    The end of the apostate religious system going all the way back to Babel.

    There is a sense in which Karl Marx statement that ’religion is the opium of the masses’ is true, states John MacArthur. People are religious because God created them to be worshippers. If they will not worship the true God, they will worship someone or something else. We look around and we think ...read more

    A relationship with Christ, not a religious resume, is what makes us righteous.

    Losing to Gain Philippians 3:1-11 Rev. Brian Bill March 8-9, 2025 Sometimes people put things on their resume to make them sound better than they really are, like the grocery store “bag boy” who referred to his job as “Customer Service Representative.” I came across some other funny resumes and ...read more

    Christians stuck on a hamster wheel of religious activity

    Snooze You Lose "The Lord will raise up against you a nation from afar, from the ends of the earth, that swoops down like an eagle, a nation whose tongue you do not understand; a nation of stern visage, that shows neither respect for the aged nor pity for the young...

    Why Is The Kingdom Open To The ‘least Of These’? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 20, 2026
     | 197 views

    We are familiar with Jesus talking about "the least of these," but why are they a target of the Kingdom? This parable gives us insight into that question.

    AN INTERESTING QUESTION: How did we get to the place where “the least of these” is such a focus of the Kingdom? - Luke 14:12-15. - You are probably tired of hearing me repeat that important interpretation principle: context is key. - Most of you fully know what I mean but for anyone visiting, let ...read more

    This chapter teaches us that what is built for God must be formally committed to God. Dedication is not a mere ceremony—it is a spiritual act of submission, recognition, and consecration.

     | 4,914 views

    The fourth sermon in the Lenten Series "The Signs of John." In this sermon we look at the fishing trip the disciples took after the resurrection and focus on how Peter’s reaction illustrates the change in his and Jesus’ relationship.

    Large Catch of Fish I. Introduction A. I’d like to start out this evening with a passage from another Gospel that recalls a similar incident between the disciples and Jesus B.

    If the beast destroys the religious system to establish his own system of worship, what will happen to all the wealth the false religious system has accumulated?

    Last week we saw the rise and fall of the great harlot, the false religious system that will exist during the tribulation. We saw the influence of this religious system and how she controlled and was supported by the Antichrist. We saw her influence on all nations and kings. We also saw her fall as ...read more

    With every ounce of religious freedom comes great weighty responsibility to defend religious truth. I firmly believe that we can know religious truth! Just as we know that there is truth in science and math, there is spiritual truth found only in Jesus

    Counterfeit Christianity: The Cult Connection Jude 3,4 The year was 1783, when America officially recognized its independence from England.
