Discerning The Source Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Dec 17, 2023

John is saying there are and will be a lot of deep fakes in the world. Not everything that claims to be spiritual is genuinely spiritual. The big question is how will we be able to distinguish between what’s real and what’s fake? How do we know if something is from God or not?

The Transforming Power Of The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Mar 19, 2018

How God changes a coward to a conqueror, a fearful man into a rock in His kingdom. Transformation is the difference between our faith and most religions of the world. As a continuous process, perfected on the day of the Lord.

More often in the church we hear testimonies of men and women saved by grace. In various ways we all joyfully testified of what God has done for us. On the other hand to speak of what God is doing in our life at any stage is hard to tell. Therefore the single, most important discerning ...read more

The Universal Gift Series

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?

The Beast From The Sea: A Portrait Of The Antichrist (Revelation 13:1-10)

Revelation 13 gives us a detailed picture of Satan's counterfeit Messiah, whom the Scriptures call the Antichrist. He is "the Man of Sin" who will delude the whole world into following him with horrific consequences and eternal regret.

Revelation 13 gives us the description and work of the prophesied Antichrist. The Bible describes this agent of Satan as "the man of sin" (2 Thessalonians 2:3) and "the Son of Perdition". He will be the worst blasphemer, the worst hater of God, the worst dictator, the worst ...read more
