    We especially need to take notice since the deception of the end time will be far worse than anything that we have experienced to this point.

We can personally be deceived by gaining too much wisdom of this world that we discount the Word of God as irrelevant and unimportant. We also can experience deception by hearing the Word preached to us and then doing ...read more

    This sermon will help you understand what the glory of God is and how to experience it in your life. Christ in you means from one level of glory to another level of glory. It means experiencing His glory here on earth, to experiencing the greatest dimension of His glory in eternity.

    Jesus has just noted that the eye is the body's lamp. A healthy eye perceives light and transmits that information to the body. In a poetic sense, a functioning eye floods the body with light. Light allows a person to see and operate in the world according to what is true.

    The Eye (22) "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, (23) But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness.
