Fooled By A Prophet Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 19, 2021

Prophetic messages on the Internet are abundant posing new challenges as well as possible benefits. Pastors must equip their congregations to test these messages using biblical principles. This series teaches principles for doing that. This message uses lessons from the story in 1 Kings 13.

Intro Last week we taught on the subject of testing prophecy. How do we know that a dream, a vision, a word that someone is sharing is truly from the Lord? And even if it is from the Lord, are we interpreting it correctly and applying it wisely. We found that all three aspects of a prophecy must ...read more

Ephesus: The Loveless Church Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Feb 14, 2026

Faithful labor and sound doctrine marked the church in Ephesus, but love had grown cold. Jesus’ call is not to do more, but to return—to remember, repent, and rekindle devotion to Him. True renewal begins when love for Christ is restored.
