False Prophets on SermonAudio

The sermon argues that God no longer communicates through dreams or visions in the current dispensation, relying instead on the sufficiency of Scripture. Drawing from Hebrews 1:1 and 2 Peter 1:19, the speaker asserts that divine revelation was confined to past ages and that believers should not seek new supernatural experiences. The text categorizes dreams into three sources: divine origin in the Old Testament, natural psychological processes, and demonic deception by false prophets. By citing Jeremiah 23, the message warns against trusting subjective spiritual encounters that contradict or add to the Bible. Ultimately, the teaching encourages listeners to reject modern claims of prophetic dreams and remain firmly grounded in the written Word.

Teaching on Deuteronomy 18:15-22

Honoring a fool is just absurd. But the whole world does it, especially the worlds religions! But we want to BRING honor to God. Amen. Also Reference: James 2:19. Acts 20:21, 1 Peter 1:7 https://bbfohio.com

(AI Generated Summary) The sermon interprets Luke 21:25-26 as a prophetic description of the Day of the Lord, an eschatological event where God shakes the celestial powers to demonstrate His supremacy over all false gods and earthly authorities. By analyzing Old Testament imagery, the text reveals that these cosmic signs symbolize the destruction of idolatry and the outpouring of divine wrath upon rebellious humanity. The preacher contrasts the terror felt by those who trust in worldly power with the hope experienced by believers whose sins are washed in Christ's blood. This ultimate judgment serves as a call to live lives of holiness and godliness, recognizing the temporary nature of the current creation. The message urges listeners to prioritize their eternal relationship with Jesus over earthly pursuits, anticipating His return with eager faith.

What did Jesus mean by the "signs" in Matthew 24? In Matthew 24:1-14, Jesus warns His disciples about deception, wars and rumors of wars, persecution, false prophets, lawlessness, and the spread of the Gospel before the end comes. Pastor Casey Lewis continues through the Olivet Discourse by examining Jesus' prediction of the destruction of the Jerusalem temple, fulfilled in AD 70, and the disciples' question about Christ's coming and the end of the age. From an amillennial perspective, this message considers how Matthew 24 describes both events experienced by the first-century disciples and a broader pattern that continues throughout the present age until the return of Christ. Christians are called not to panic over every war, disaster, or headline, but to remain alert, resist deception, endure persecution, guard their love for the Lord, and faithfully proclaim the Gospel. This sermon also considers the perseverance of believers and Jesus' promise that the Gospel of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world before the end comes.

Acts 13:4-12 4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus. 5 When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John to assist them. 6 When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they came upon a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet named Bar-Jesus. 7 He was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the magician (for that is the meaning of his name) opposed them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith. 9 But Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him 10 and said, "You son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, full of all deceit and villainy, will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord? 11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and unable to see the sun for a time." Immediately mist and darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking people to lead him by the hand. 12 Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had occurred, for he was astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

The sermon establishes a theological foundation for studying biblical prophecy by asserting that God alone is deity, proven by His ability to declare the end from the beginning. It distinguishes between the prophetic program for Israel and the current mystery of the Church Age, emphasizing that believers must not conflate these two distinct groups. The speaker argues that trust in Scripture outweighs personal experience or emotion because God's word has historically remained faithful to its predictions. By examining Isaiah 46, the text highlights that false gods cannot foretell future events, whereas the true God orchestrates history according to His counsel. Ultimately, the central focus of all prophecy is identified as Jesus Christ, who is announced, rejected, returning, and reigning.

The sermon critically examines Islam by contrasting its theological foundations and historical origins with Christian doctrine, asserting that Muhammad was a false prophet whose teachings contradict biblical truth. It distinguishes between the political ideology of Islam, which is portrayed as inherently militant and oppressive, and individual Muslims, who are viewed as souls in need of salvation. The speaker outlines key Islamic concepts such as the Quran, Sharia law, and the five pillars to demonstrate internal inconsistencies and violent tendencies within the religion. Emphasizing the urgency of evangelism, the transcript argues that Christians must confidently present the gospel, particularly through the Gospel of John, to counter common Muslim objections regarding the Bible's integrity and Jesus' divinity. The message concludes with a call for believers to engage in patient, truth-based dialogue with Muslims while remaining vigilant against the political expansion of Islamic influence.

The sermon warns against false prophets and the dangerous allure of hyper-dispensationalism, which distorts biblical truth through conspiracy theories and works-based salvation. It emphasizes that the true gospel is a free message of grace for the poor, contrasting it with religious systems that demand financial payment or boastful adherence to rituals. The speaker argues that God allows deceptive signs and wonders to test humanity's loyalty, ultimately leading many to worship false gods or alien entities. Key passages like Deuteronomy 13 and 2 Thessalonians 2 illustrate the coming falling away and the revelation of the man of sin once divine mercy is withdrawn. The central message urges believers to reject these deceptions and cling solely to the unadulterated good tidings of Jesus Christ.

An exposition of Jeremiah 9:23-24 in which God through the prophet forbids boasting in wisdom, might, and riches, and directs the only legitimate ground of human confidence: the knowledge and understanding of the Lord himself. The sermon sets this text within the surrounding context of Judah's desolation and unfaithfulness, showing that true wisdom, true strength, and true wealth are found solely in knowing the God who exercises lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. Main points: - the false grounds of human boasting — wisdom, might, and riches - the one true ground of confidence — understanding and knowing the Lord - the character of the God who is to be known — his lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness Scripture references: - Jeremiah 9:11-26 - 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-jeremiah-9-the-holy-confidence Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

The sermon addresses the biblical command to 'judge not' by clarifying that while believers are prohibited from hypocritical condemnation, they are still called to exercise righteous discernment based on Scripture. The speaker argues that ignoring sin or refusing to name it leads to spiritual decay and a false sense of comfort within the church. Emphasizing Matthew 7:1-2, the text warns that the standard used to judge others will be the exact measure applied by God in final judgment. The message urges Christians to examine their own hearts for hypocrisy before correcting others, ensuring they live consistently with the moral standards they proclaim. Ultimately, the preacher calls for a balance of grace and truth, urging believers to repent openly and hold fast to God's word rather than seeking human approval.

This sermon examines Matthew 7:13-23, contrasting the narrow path to salvation with the broad way to destruction. It warns believers to discern false prophets by their actions rather than outward appearances or claims of piety. The preacher emphasizes that genuine faith is evidenced by good fruit, while empty religion results in spiritual rejection. Believers are urged to examine their own lives and influence others toward the truth through consistent, righteous conduct. Ultimately, entry into heaven depends on doing God's will, not merely professing it.

In this August series wrap-up, Dave Jenkins examines the common thread behind counterfeit spirituality, prophetic culture, prosperity theology, emotionalism, and other deceptive movements: a shift away from the authority and sufficiency of God's Word. Christians do not need new revelations, spiritual trends, or captivating personalities. In Christ, believers have everything necessary for life and godliness. This episode calls listeners to test every teaching by Scripture, grow in biblical literacy, and stand firm in the truth as the church ministers in a post-truth culture.

The sermon contrasts the Buddhist concept of Nirvana with the Christian understanding of eternal life through Jesus Christ, using DNA as a metaphor for God's precise design and the Bible as the ultimate source of truth. It argues that scientific discoveries regarding genetics confirm biblical accounts of creation and divine authorship, while simultaneously warning against false teachers who add to or subtract from Scripture. The speaker emphasizes that the Bible is sealed and complete, serving as the only reliable guide for salvation and spiritual life. By linking Old and New Testament themes, the message asserts that Christ is the central figure in both the genetic code of humanity and the prophetic word of God. Ultimately, the sermon calls listeners to reject modern heresies and cling firmly to the inspired text of the Bible.

Teachings about treasure, anxiety, judging, the golden rule, prayer, fruit, false prophets, last day surprises... all from the lips of Jesus.

What does Jesus want Christians to think when wars, earthquakes, famines, persecution, and false teachers dominate the headlines? In Mark 13:5-8, Jesus gives His disciples a crucial warning: "Watch out that no one deceives you," and "do not be alarmed." He describes a period called the "beginning of pains"—a time when His followers will face deception, disasters, and persecution while continuing the mission of preaching the gospel to the nations. In this study of Mark 13:5-8, we examine what Jesus meant by the beginning of pains and whether these events point to the destruction of Jerusalem, the Second Coming, or an unfolding prophetic process that began in the first century and continues until Christ returns.

The sermon outlines the doctrinal stance of Milton Baptist Church by defining it as literalist, futurist, and fundamentalist. It argues for a strict literal interpretation of Scripture regarding creation, marriage, and church leadership while affirming future prophetic events like the rapture and millennial reign. The preacher emphasizes that believers must hold fast to these non-negotiable fundamentals despite cultural pressure to compromise or water down biblical truth. This fidelity requires strong spiritual leadership within homes and a commitment to biblical separation from false teachings. Ultimately, the message calls the congregation to remain solid in their faith to avoid becoming a hollow institution devoid of genuine conviction.

God is Love; is a half-truth! When God Word is taken out of context; it automatically becomes a full lie! God does NOT love this sinful, corrupt, unbelieving, world; as we can see in John 17:9. Indeed, He Says in Gen. 6:6, that He so Hates this sinful world and corrupted man, that He does not Pray for it, and even that it repented Him, that He had even made mankind! O Hear and Fear!

The sermon contrasts the faithful prophet Micaiah with the false prophets who flattered King Ahab, illustrating the danger of aligning with evil. It highlights how God allowed a lying spirit to deceive Ahab's court, leading to his death as a consequence of his wicked alliances. The narrative serves as a warning against fearing man or seeking comfort in lies rather than facing the uncomfortable truth of God's word. Ultimately, the message points to Jesus Christ as the one who absorbs God's judgment on behalf of believers, freeing them from fear and ensuring their safety.

~~~~~~~ No 28 in the series - The Epistles of Peter. ~~~~~~~ **Considering 2 Peter 2:1-3** But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. *1/ There were and will be false teachers. 2/ The influence they will have. 3/ The methods they will use.* **Sermon Summary:** This sermon issues a solemn warning to believers about the presence and danger of false teachers within the church. Drawing primarily from 2 Peter chapter 2, the text highlights how these individuals creep in unawares, promoting damnable heresies and exploiting congregants through covetousness and feigned words. The message emphasizes the critical need for spiritual discernment to distinguish between genuine doctrine and deceptive error, noting that false teachers often mimic true prophets and promise peace without requiring repentance. It urges the audience to test all teachings against Scripture rather than relying on a teacher's reputation or popularity. Ultimately, the sermon calls for vigilance to protect the truth of the Gospel and ensure personal fidelity to Christ amidst spiritual deception.

The New Apostolic Reformation promotes modern apostles, continuing prophetic revelation, dominion theology, strategic-level spiritual warfare, and revival movements centered on extraordinary experiences. These teachings raise a foundational issue for every Christian: who possesses authority in the church? In this episode, Dave Jenkins examines the central teachings of the New Apostolic Reformation and contrasts modern apostolic and prophetic claims with the sufficient and authoritative Word of God. He also explains how genuine revival is marked by repentance, holiness, love for Christ, obedience, and renewed commitment to biblical truth. The church does not need celebrity apostles, new revelation, or counterfeit revival. It needs Christ, faithful preaching, sound doctrine, biblical local churches, and confidence in the Word God has already given.

Jesse Duplantis claimed that YouTube demonetized his channel because it was receiving too many views and that the platform told him he was outperforming Jimmy Kimmel. Justin Peters compares that claim with publicly available channel statistics and demonstrates the enormous disparity between the two audiences. He then addresses the deeper biblical issue: false teachers are repeatedly characterized by greed, deception, and the exploitation of those who trust them. In this episode of Sound Theology and Discernment, Justin explains why Christians must take dishonesty seriously, especially when it comes from someone who regularly claims to speak for God. Believers must test every teacher, every spiritual claim, and every alleged revelation by the sufficient and authoritative Word of God.

Revelation Chapter 1 1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. 3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

The snake, (serpent), is the symbol, that God uses throughout Scripture, for Sin! The father of lies, has thousands of snakes, false doctrines, or false prophets to deceive mankind! In Scripture, Christians are shown the proper handling of snakes, false doctrines! Thus, when God Speaks of handling snakes, He is speaking of metaphorical discernment of unScriptural doctrines, and false prophets; NOT physically handling real snakes!

Why is it that people can have the truth standing directly in front of them and still fail to recognize it? In Matthew 13 and 14, we see a powerful principle: the condition of the heart can distort what the eyes see. When Jesus returned to His hometown, the people were astonished by His wisdom and mighty works, yet they could not get past their familiarity with Him. They knew His family. They knew where He had grown up. To them, He was still "the carpenter's son." Instead of allowing the evidence to change their perception of Jesus, they forced Jesus back into the category in which they had always placed Him. Their familiarity became a stumbling block that contributed to their unbelief. Then Matthew takes us immediately to Herod and Herodias. Herod hears about Jesus, but his guilty conscience causes him to conclude that John the Baptist has risen from the dead. Herodias sees John not as God's prophet, but as a threat because John exposed the sin she wanted to protect. Herod himself knows the people regard John as a prophet, yet fear, guilt, political pressure, and the opinions of others influence his actions. Nazareth looked through the lens of familiarity. Herod looked through the lens of guilt and fear. Herodias looked through the lens of rebellion and unrepentant sin. Different lenses—but the same result: distorted perception. In this message, Pastor Brandon Holthaus examines how familiarity, pride, guilt, fear, past experiences, and unrepentant sin can cause us to misinterpret people and even miss what God is doing right in front of us. Matthew 13:53–58

This sermon explores the theme of God as a speaking deity through an examination of Ezekiel chapters 12, 13, and 14. It highlights God's absolute justice in judging sin and false prophecy while emphasizing His sovereign authority over human history and individual lives. The message warns against the danger of false assurance and idolatry, clarifying that personal righteousness cannot be transferred but must be evidenced by a transformed life. By connecting these Old Testament warnings to New Testament teachings, the sermon underscores the urgency of heeding God's word amidst spiritual deception. Ultimately, it affirms that God's promises are reliable and that He alone provides the foundation for eternal hope through Jesus Christ.

The sermon exposes the danger of false prophets who invent messages from their own imagination rather than receiving divine revelation. Using the metaphor of whitewashing cracks in a wall, it illustrates how superficial religious language masks spiritual decay and leads people into destruction. The text contrasts these deceivers with Jesus' warning in Matthew 7 that true faith is evidenced by obedience to God's will, not merely outward religious performance. It emphasizes that God's judgment will inevitably expose the foundation of such falsehoods, leaving no room for deception. Believers are urged to test all teachings against Scripture to maintain genuine discernment and avoid being led astray.

This sermon analyzes Revelation 13:11 to identify the Papal Church of Rome as the second beast, a false prophet characterized by its deceptive appearance and dragon-like speech. The speaker argues that the church's use of lamb imagery and two-horned miter fulfills biblical prophecy regarding a counterfeit institution that mimics Christ while promoting heretical doctrines such as transubstantiation and papal infallibility. By examining historical practices and scriptural warnings against false prophets, the text asserts that this entity mixes truth with error to deceive believers. The message emphasizes the necessity of testing all teachings against the supreme authority of Scripture alone rather than ecclesiastical tradition or human leaders. Ultimately, the sermon calls for humility among ministers and vigilance among believers in distinguishing true doctrine from spiritual deception.

Romans 11:3 "Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life."

The sermon examines the spiritual danger of mistaking God's patience for indifference, drawing primarily from Ezekiel 12 and 2 Peter 3. It addresses two common proverbs used to dismiss divine warnings: that visions fail because days pass slowly, or that judgment is too distant to matter today. The speaker explains that while delay serves as a period for repentance, it ultimately leads to complacency and contempt if not heeded. By connecting Old Testament prophecy with New Testament teaching, the message emphasizes that God's timing is sovereign and His promises are certain. The central call is for believers to respond to divine patience with readiness and diligence rather than false security.

Kenneth Copeland has taught for decades that physical healing is always God's will, yet his continuing health problems have led his granddaughter Courtney to ask why he remains in pain after a lifetime of teaching divine healing. In this episode of Sound Theology and Discernment, Justin Peters examines Copeland's declining health and Courtney's questions about Word of Faith teaching. Justin explains why the prosperity gospel's promises of guaranteed health and wealth cannot withstand the biblical reality of sickness and suffering. Scripture does not promise believers perfect health or financial prosperity. The true gospel proclaims Jesus Christ, who lived a perfect life, died for sinners, and bodily rose from the dead. Everyone who turns from sin and trusts in Christ receives forgiveness and eternal life.

In this message, Pastor Brandon Holthaus concludes Jesus' Mystery Kingdom parables by examining the Hidden Treasure, the Pearl of Great Price, the Dragnet, and the Householder. Discover how these final parables reveal God's ongoing plan for Israel, His calling out of believing Gentiles during the Church Age, the coming Judgment of the Nations, and the establishment of Christ's Messianic Kingdom. This study explains why the Hidden Treasure represents Israel's believing remnant, why the Pearl of Great Price pictures Gentile believers, how the Net points to the future separation of the righteous from the wicked at Christ's return, and how the Householder summarizes God's entire Kingdom program. You'll also see how these parables fit together with Romans 11, Acts 15, Micah 5, Daniel 7, Revelation 17, and Matthew 25 to reveal the prophetic roadmap leading to the Second Coming. If you want to understand God's prophetic plan for Israel, the Church, the Gentile nations, and the Kingdom, this message ties these crucial passages together into one cohesive biblical picture.

The sermon examines Ezekiel chapters 12 through 14, focusing on the prophet's dramatic actions as a sign of impending exile for King Zedekiah and the people of Jerusalem. It highlights God's judgment against false prophets who offer peace when there is none and elders who approach God with idols in their hearts. The preacher emphasizes that true repentance requires abandoning these hidden idols and trusting solely in God's covenant faithfulness rather than human righteousness. Despite the severity of divine judgment, the message offers hope through the preservation of a remnant that ultimately leads to the Messiah. The central call is for believers to examine their own hearts for idols and cling to Christ as the only refuge from God's wrath.

The sermon explores the practical application of Jesus' teachings in Matthew 7, emphasizing that true faith is demonstrated through action rather than mere profession. It contrasts the broad path of cultural conformity with the narrow gate of biblical truth, warning against false prophets who may appear righteous but lack genuine spiritual fruit. The preacher argues that believers must evaluate themselves and others by their deeds and the consistency of their lives with Scripture, rather than relying on outward appearances or popular opinion. Ultimately, the message stresses that only those who hear Christ's words and put them into practice build their lives on a secure foundation that withstands life's inevitable storms.

Continuing his series on Romans 8, Pastor Robert McNutt takes up Romans 8:14, "For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God," insisting that the Apostle's aim is assurance: the believer's confidence of salvation rests on being led by the Spirit. But what kind of leading? Not force, not compulsion, not divine browbeating. Setting Luke 4:1 beside Mark 1:12, where the Spirit "drove" Jesus into the wilderness, McNutt works through the Greek, the lexicons, and parallel uses of the same word elsewhere in Matthew and Acts to show the term need carry no violence at all. There is such a thing as the force of persuasion: the love of Christ constrains us, yet never assaults us. The Spirit enlightens the mind and persuades the will so that we actually desire the things of God. Just as the prophets were "carried along" by the Spirit without mechanical dictation, so the Spirit sanctifies without coercion, and any interpretation that makes Him a bully contradicts the New Testament. Turning practical, McNutt asks how the Spirit leads, and answers: primarily not by private guidance about callings, but by the daily putting to death of the deeds of the body, and always in and through the written Word. Because the Spirit is the Spirit of truth, and because false spirits abound, every claim to revelation beyond Scripture, whether Roman traditions about Mary or zealous elders legislating where the Bible is silent, must be rejected. Sola Scriptura. The great test is not visions or ecstasies but an enlightened mind that knows God, feels conviction of sin, treasures Christ, reads the world through creation, fall, redemption, and recreation, and waits for His return as its only hope.

The sermon exhorts ministers to move beyond intellectual cleverness and emotionalism to preach the Word of God anointed with the Holy Spirit's fire. Drawing primarily from Jeremiah 23, it contrasts false prophets who speak their own dreams with true messengers who stand in God's counsel and deliver His word with divine weight and power. The speaker argues that effective ministry requires personal intimacy with God to receive specific guidance for each congregation, rather than relying on cultural trends or numerical success. True preaching is characterized by a burning urgency within the preacher, resulting in sermons that penetrate hearts and produce genuine revival. Ultimately, only God can impart this spiritual fire, which purifies the church and validates the quality of pastoral work at the judgment seat of Christ.

The sermon contrasts the biblical account of David defeating Goliath with the prophetic teachings in 1 Thessalonians to illustrate the believer's victory over death and spiritual oppression. It emphasizes that Christians are appointed to suffer tribulation rather than escape it, yet remain secure in the promise of Christ's return. The speaker warns against false doctrines and charismatic excesses, urging believers to stay sober and grounded in Scripture. By connecting the number five in David's stones to the reality of death, the message highlights how faith delivers God's people from the power of evil. Ultimately, the teaching encourages steadfast hope and comfort in the assurance that believers will be with the Lord forever.

The sermon distinguishes between the first and second beasts of Revelation 13 as two separate entities rather than dual aspects of a single institution. The first beast represents the revived Western Roman Empire, characterized by political power and military force, while the second beast signifies the ecclesiastical authority of the Church of Rome, which operates through deception and false miracles. By analyzing biblical symbolism such as arising from the sea versus the earth, the text argues that these powers are distinct yet allied in opposing Christ. The speaker connects this second beast to the false prophet and the man of sin described in 2 Thessalonians 2. Ultimately, the message emphasizes sola scriptura as the essential safeguard for believers against religious deception.

Word of Faith prosperity preacher Jonathan Shuttlesworth recently posted a crude response on social media after someone questioned him about his private jet. In this episode, Justin Peters examines that public statement in light of Scripture and explains what it reveals about the heart, character, and qualifications of a professing minister. Drawing from Ephesians 4:29, Ephesians 5:3–5, 1 Timothy 3, 2 Peter 2, and Jude, Justin considers the seriousness of filthy speech and coarse jesting, the biblical requirement that pastors be above reproach, and the sensuality, greed, and exploitation that characterize false teachers. Justin urges Christians to exercise biblical discernment, flee from prosperity preachers who bring reproach upon Christ, and judge every teacher according to the written Word of God. He concludes with a direct gospel appeal and a call to repentance, faith in Jesus Christ, and fruit consistent with genuine conversion.

Regardless of what God's people may want to pretend God says, God's true preachers always and only proclaim what God has truly said. True Preachers Preach God's Truth, His Whole Truth, and Nothing But God's Truth.

The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him. (Jeremiah 28:9) *1/ A true prophet. 2/ A purchased peace. 3/ Preaching peace.* **Sermon summary:** The sermon contrasts the false prophet Hananiah with the true prophetic witness of Jesus Christ, emphasizing that genuine peace is purchased through the shedding of blood. It examines Old Testament prophecies from Jeremiah, Haggai, and Isaiah to demonstrate that God's plan involves judgment before restoration. The preacher explains that peace with God is secured solely by Christ's atoning sacrifice, distinguishing it from worldly assurances or legalistic demands. This divine peace reconciles believers to God and to one another, offering an inward tranquillity that transcends external circumstances. The message concludes by urging listeners to rest in the gospel of grace rather than the terrors of the law.

The sermon examines the first missionary journey of Paul and Barnabas, emphasizing that true ministry originates from the Holy Spirit's direction through the local church rather than human initiative. It highlights the critical importance of fasting and prayer as the church discerns God's will, warning against rushing ahead of divine guidance or prioritizing secular projects over evangelism. The preacher contrasts the fervent preaching of the gospel with the deceptive influence of false prophets like Elymas, illustrating how spiritual blindness serves as a judgment on those who oppose truth. Ultimately, the message challenges believers to maintain a serious, focused commitment to spreading the gospel, trusting that God can use even opposition to bring about salvation and demonstrate His sovereign power.

Jonah ran from God, but God is the God of second chances. In God's sovereignty, not only did He give Jonah a second chance, but He also used him to put the fear of God in the citizens of Nineveh bringing them to repentance, keeping them from destruction. Sin will always distort our lives, but God is a God who delights to save.

James Dobson. John MacArthur. Phil Robertson. Voddie Baucham. Charlie Kirk. The prophets are gone, but their voices still echo. Kevin and Danny mark one year since these five godly leaders passed away. They revisit the urgent, biblical case made by each of them - to pull the children out of the godless public schools before it's too late. Will the church listen to their voices?
