Nine Tests Of Prophecy Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 26, 2021

Gullible believers can be misled by false prophecies. We are told in Scripture to judge all prophecy. This message equips Christians with nine tests to determine whether a prophecy, dream, vision, etc. is from God.

During the last two messages, we have addressed the need to judge prophetic ministry. Last week we learned from the story in 1 Kings 13 where the failure to judge a prophecy cost a man his life. It led him astray, and he was killed by a lion. Jesus warned about the increase in deception that ...read more

The Right To Question God Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

It is normal and natural to be angry when we suffer evil, and often we will be angry at God for not preventing it. This is valid and God gives us the right to question Him.

The right to question God is a right that God Himself has given to His children. He inspired men of God to write about their own questioning of God’s ways of dealing with the evils of life and all of its suffering and injustice. None is more bold than the prophet Habakkuk. He begins his book ...read more

Escondiendo La Palabra De Dios

Huwag Itago Ang Salita Ng Diyos

Contributed by James Dina on Mar 15, 2021

Ang mga payo ng Diyos, ang Kanyang mga katotohanan, ay kailangang ihayag. Ito ay mapanganib na bagay para sa sinumang tao na lilihiin ang Salita ng Diyos, sa kanyang opinyon o sa kanyang gawain. Sabihin ang katotohanan sa isa't isa nang may pagmamahal.

HUWAG Itago ang SALITA NG DIYOS "Sapagkat hindi ko itinago ang mga salita ng Diyos." (Job 6:10b) "Mangagingat kayo nga kayo sa inyong sarili, at sa lahat ng kawan, sa ibabaw ng yaong ginawa ng Espiritu Santo sa inyong mga tagapamahala, upang pakainin ang simbahan ng Diyos, na ...read more

Renewing Our Consecration To God’s Purposes Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 19, 2022

This exposition of Zechariah 8:9-13 focuses on the importance of Christians being on task and fulfilling their God-given calling in life. This remnant of Jews suffered unnecessary troubles when neglecting their God-given assignment but blessing as they obeyed.

It means “to be strong, be courageous, be firm, be resolute.”ii God used this word three times when commissioning Joshua for the task of ...read more

Let The Church Be The Church

Contributed by Chris Cuthbertson on Jun 6, 2024

God wants His church to grow and He commissioned us to evangelize, and if the church is doing its job it should grow, but numerical growth in itself is not evidence that God is blessing. It’s important to remember that the goal is to try to restore the church of the 1st century in its principles.

Let the Church Be the Church Acts 2: 36 – 47 A newspaper reporter was doing a story on growing churches, and in preparation for that story he interviewed a number of preachers. I want to share the questions asked of these preachers and then give you my answers to them. One of the questions he ...read more

How Can I Know I Am Saved?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Aug 31, 2023

There is a passage in the scriptures that is very alarming to me and should be to everyone here today that claim to be saved.

Let me read it to you. Look at Matthew 7:21-24 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
