There are moments in Scripture that feel bigger than history. The plagues of Egypt, the Tower of Babel, Mount Hermon, and the words of Jesus at Caesarea Philippi all point to a spiritual conflict that goes far beyond what most people realize. Egypt's gods were not powerless myths carved from stone but entities tied to darkness, rebellion, and deception. Every plague in Exodus became a public judgment against those powers, revealing the supremacy of God over every throne, principality, and false authority worshiped by man.From the Tower of Babel to Mount Hermon, mountains throughout Scripture became places connected with rebellion, false worship, and attempts to access supernatural power apart from God. Caesarea Philippi stood as one of the clearest declarations that hell itself would not overcome the Church of Jesus Christ.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Saints and Surrender: What the Bible Really Says - A Critique of Practicing the Way, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch. A common error among mystics and the Roman Catholic Church is an unbiblical definition of "saint." Using Hebrews 10:10-14, we show that a saint is any born-again believer. We also challenge "total surrender," noting that 2 Peter 1:1-4 corrects this idea. (duration 00:23:27) Click here to play

This sermon explores the commandment “You shall not steal” by revealing how much deeper it goes than simply taking physical property. As part of the Two Sets of Ten series, this message examines how God's law exposes both obvious and subtle forms of theft that often go unnoticed in daily life. Rooted in Exodus 20:15 and reaffirmed in Deuteronomy 5:19, the command is shown to be a permanent, timeless standard—not a temporary guideline.It's also important to consider how stealing can occur actively and passively. Passages like Exodus 22:1–4 outline the serious consequences of physical theft, this teaching expands the definition to include stealing time, energy, rest, opportunity, and even from God Himself. Malachi 3:8–9 is woven naturally into the message to demonstrate how withholding what belongs to God—such as tithes and offerings—is also a violation of this commandment.The sermon highlights the spiritual root of theft, reminding believers that the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), while those who abide in God are empowered to resist temptation and live differently. True freedom from stealing begins with submission to God, abiding in Christ, and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide daily decisions. Without that abiding relationship, resisting sin is impossible—but through Christ, believers are strengthened to live in obedience.Practical application is central to this teaching. Listeners are encouraged to evaluate their habits, schedules, relationships, and stewardship, asking whether they are unintentionally robbing others of time, peace, or resources—or misusing what God has entrusted to them. Romans 13:9 brings the message into focus, showing that all commandments, including “you shall not steal,” are fulfilled through loving others as oneself.This message ultimately calls believers to a higher standard—living with intentional love, integrity, and stewardship. When Christians walk in love and remain anchored in God's presence, they reflect His character, honor His commands, and protect both themselves and others from spiritual loss.Referenced Verses: John 10:10Exodus 20:15Leviticus 19:11Exodus 22:1Exodus 22:4Malachi 3:8-9Deuteronomy 5:19Romans 13:9-Social Media Ministries, founded by Spencer Coffman, is committed to sharing the Word of God with the entire world.

On this episode of Mutuality Matters, Dr. Mimi Haddad meets with Dr. Preston Sprinkle to discuss his new book, "From Genesis to Junia: An Honest Search for What the Bible Really Says about Women in Leadership." A deeply committed Christian, husband, and father, Preston Sprinkle said his career has focused on serving the church as a scholar. As such, he approaches questions concerning faith and life through a deep dive exegetical analysis of the related biblical passages and related historical contexts. For many years, as a complementarian, Preston read the key passages (1 Timothy 2:11–15, 1 Corinthians 14:34–36, and Ephesians 5:21–33) at face value—through a plain reading of the text which, seemingly, supports male leadership in church and the home. Yet, over time, he noticed how the Greek syntax in these passages was complex. Attending more carefully, he began to focus on single words in the text like “silent.” This practice was quite fruitful in helping him realize how women were not silent in Scripture contra 1 Corinthians 14:34–36. This seeming inconsistency evoked questions around what NT women were talking about. Clearly, they had a voice. In fact, leading Bible women were far from silent. God called and gifted women to speak as prophets, judges, warriors, and diplomats. Women were Christ's disciples, and women served beside Paul as deacons, apostles, church planters, and his coworkers. Romans 16 abounds with the voices of women, slaves, and non-Jews—aligning with the welcome of women as Gospel agents (Gal. 3:28). Stunningly, women's voices were heard in Corinth, as they prayed and prophesied in the church (1 Cor. 11:5), raising questions about the meaning of 1 Corinthians 14:34–36. Other passages in 1 Corinthians, such as 1 Corinthians 7:4-5, 1 Corinthians 11:7, and 1 Corinthians 11, challenged Preston as a complementarian because:   Wives and husbands have authority over each other's bodies: 1 Cor. 7:4–5   Women prayed and prophesied: 1 Cor. 11:5.   Women “… have authority over her own head, because of the angels:” 1 Cor. 11:10.   Woman and man are interdependent: 1 Cor. 11:11–12.   Preston cited as a helpful resource, Gregory Dawe's works on head metaphors in Ephesians, The Body in Question: Metaphor and Meaning in the Interpretation of Ephesians 5:21–33 (Biblical Interpretation Series, 30)   Turning to 1 Timothy 2:11–12, Preston points to the extreme use of authority (authentein) Paul evokes in this passage that mirrors the unilateral, domineering authority of slave owners over their slaves as it demeaned slaves ontologically as lesser humans for a lesser purpose. It was a devaluation Jesus challenged in Matthew 20:25–28: “Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”   Summing it up, Preston suggests that three complex, poorly translated texts cannot overturn the “wide ocean of women leaders in Scripture.” Which is why he cautions against silencing women based on a plain reading of the Bible. Add to this the many women scholars he admired even before becoming an egalitarian. Women like Drs. Linda Belleville Sandra Ritcher, Lynn Cohick, Cynthia Westfall, and others are deeply regarded and highly respected throughout the Christian world. We add Preston to the list of egalitarian scholars and leaders, thanking him for his very insightful work throughout this podcast and in his newest book, From Genesis to Junia: An Honest Search for What the Bible Really Says about Women in Leadership, available in CBE's bookstore. Enjoy!  00:56 Welcome and Guest Intro  02:59 Preston's Journey Shift  04:56 Deep Dive Research Process  06:31 Key Textual Turning Points  11:04 Women Scholars and Influences  13:24 Feedback and Early Critiques  19:51 Jesus Centered Vision for Women  21:46 Conference Invitation Chicago 2026  24:39 Hopes for the Book  25:33 When Egalitarianism Gets Real  26:45 Why Change Takes Time  30:37 Texts of Terror Overview  31:06 Women Silent in Church  33:29 Marriage and Household Codes  35:18 Authority in 1 Timothy  37:32 Hardest Passage 1 Corinthians 11  40:24 Mutuality in Paul  42:07 Conference Invite and Thanks  43:29 Closing Prayer and Support   

Hell is real, but so is hope. In a world full of opinions about the afterlife, what does Scripture actually say about hell? In this sermon, Discovery Pointe Church explores the reality of eternity, breaking down the biblical meaning of hell, judgment, and what happens after we die.

March 8, 2026 - Sunday PM Sermon In this sermon-style episode Hiram walks listeners through a biblical study of angels, correcting common cultural myths and explaining what Scripture actually teaches. The message covers how popular culture has shaped false images of angels and contrasts that with biblical descriptions and roles found across both Old and New Testaments. The episode is structured around six key teachings: (1) angels are God's messengers and servants, (2) their work in the past (judgment, protection, and revelation), (3) their present ministry (rejoicing at repentance, escorting the departed, and ministering to believers), (4) their role in the future (accompanying Christ at his return and participating in final judgment), (5) angels in the life and identity of Jesus (with emphasis that Christ is superior to angels), and (6) practical lessons for Christians (the reality of a spiritual world, angels' interest in our salvation, and the depth of God's love for humanity). Hiram invites listeners to respond to the gospel with repentance and faith. The teaching references many Scripture passages (Genesis, Psalms, Isaiah, Daniel, Luke, Matthew, Hebrews, Revelation and others) to support each point. Key takeaways include: angels are created servants who worship God and do not deserve worship themselves; they are innumerable and powerful yet obedient to God's will; they actively rejoice when people repent and minister to God's people today; they will play a visible role at Christ's return; and above all, God loved humanity enough to send his Son rather than angels to accomplish salvation. Listeners can expect a thoughtful, Scripture-focused exploration aimed at deepening understanding and encouraging faith. The episode closes by extending an invitation to repent or recommit, reminding listeners that heaven rejoices when people turn to God.   Handout: What the Bible Says About Angels (Hebrews 1:13-14)— Hiram Kemp    1.

What does the Bible really teach about fasting? In this message from Covenant Church Doylestown, we walk through Isaiah 58 and Jesus' teaching in the Sermon on the Mount to understand what biblical fasting actually is — and what it isn't. Fasting isn't about spiritual performance. It isn't about manipulating God. And it isn't about religious image management. This sermon explores: What biblical fasting really means Why God rejected Israel's fasting in Isaiah 58 The difference between religious acting and authentic faith What Jesus meant by “new wine and new wineskins” Why fasting should be done in secret How fasting shapes your heart and spiritual formation What it means to hunger for God more than your next meal True fasting doesn't just change your schedule — it changes your soul. It softens your heart. It moves you toward justice and mercy. It prepares you for deeper communion with God.

Have a comment? Send us a text! (We read all of them but can't reply). Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comIs the real crisis in American politics actually a crisis of biblical authority and interpretation? In this episode of Faithful Politics, Will Wright and Pastor Josh Burtram sit down with former U.S. Senator Jim DeMint to talk about his new book, What the Bible Really Says: About Creation, End Times, Politics, and You. Drawing on more than two decades in business, Congress, and the conservative movement, DeMint argues that Western civilization—and especially the United States—was built on biblical, Judeo-Christian assumptions about morality, family, and public life, and that those foundations are now being systematically discredited. Will presses DeMint on what it actually means to say America was founded on Christian values, especially in light of the violent treatment of Indigenous peoples, while Josh reflects on his own journey from “America as a Christian nation” to a more complicated, historically informed view. Together, they explore DeMint's big claim that the Bible itself is true, but many of our long-held interpretations—about creation, science, and the end times—may not be. The conversation ranges from Galileo and the church's resistance to science, to how Christians should think about nation-states, markets, and political power without confusing America with the kingdom of God. If you're wrestling with faith, Scripture, and the future of American democracy, this is a thoughtful, challenging listen.Buy the book: https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9781956454901Guest Bio:Jim DeMint is a conservative leader, author, and former U.S. Senator from South Carolina.

Worry is a heavy burden, especially for leaders. It shows up in boardrooms, late-night thoughts, and critical decisions—robbing us of peace and pulling our eyes off God's promises. But Scripture offers a better way: watchfulness. In this episode, we explore the stark difference between worry and watchfulness. Worry is fear-driven and reactive. It drains energy, clouds judgment, and spreads anxiety across teams. But watchfulness is faith-fueled and proactive. It's rooted in prayer, focused on God's Word, and alert to both spiritual challenges and God's guidance. You'll discover how: Jesus instructed us not to worry (Matthew 6), Paul taught that prayer and gratitude guard our hearts (Philippians 4), Peter urged leaders to be alert and cast anxieties on God (1 Peter 5), And how shifting from worry to watchfulness strengthens your leadership and brings peace to those you lead. This episode is filled with Scripture, reflection, and practical tools to help you stop managing fear and start modeling faith. Learn how to replace anxious leadership with a calm, God-centered confidence that inspires others and honors Christ. Whether you're leading a business, a ministry, a family, or yourself, this message will encourage you to trade worry for watchfulness—because your peace has a purpose beyond you.

In this sermon, we dive into what the Bible says about sex, marriage, gender, and life. God designed sex for the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman, and He created only two genders—male and female. We also look at what Scripture teaches about life beginning before conception, the reality of abortion, and the forgiveness and healing found in Jesus. This is not a message to throw stones but to call the Church back to God's standard while showing compassion to those who are hurting or lost. Truth isn't meant to be weaponized—it's meant to set people free. For more information about Bishop Gallardo or Lifegate Church visit www.briangallardo.com or www.lifegatekc.org. 

Trauma's deepest wound isn't what happened to you—it's the shame and distorted identity that followed. Many people with complex trauma (CPTSD) have been told they just need “more faith.” But the truth is, CPTSD is not a lack of faith.   ✨ You'll learn practical steps to break free from trauma bonds, rebuild self-trust, and embrace your identity in Christ. Deliverance doesn't erase your story—it rewrites the meaning of it.  

What does the Bible actually say about the Antichrist, Armageddon, and the end times? In this episode, John Ortberg clears away the clutter of speculation—like presidential “666” theories, modern rapture charts, or end-times guessing games—and returns us to the words of Scripture itself. Drawing from 1 John, Revelation, and the prophets, John shows how terms like “Antichrist” and “tribulation” were meant for real people facing real suffering, not just future predictions. Along the way, you'll hear insights from Bruce Metzger's Breaking the Code and Dallas Willard's vision of our eternal destiny—not endless bureaucracy, but creative life with Christ. Instead of fear, we're invited into faithfulness, hope, and love, living today as people of God's kingdom while looking forward to the day when all is made new.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team
