The Bible tells us to be anxious for nothing, and for good reason—in fact, nine good reasons! On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy teaches about the nine negative effects of anxiety and how to deal with it biblically!

People attempt to deal with unwelcome emotions in many ways, usually to no avail. Some suppress them, some indulge in them, and some distract themselves with unhealthy things. On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy teaches us how to deal with unwelcome emotions, the biblical way!

We all deal with emotions—they're a God-given gift! But because we're fallen creatures, our emotions are also fallen and need to be redeemed through the work of the Holy Spirit. On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy begins his brand-new series on dealing with unwelcome emotions.

Emotions are a God-given gift. Without them, life would be bland! But due to our fallen condition, we also deal with emotions and feelings that hinder us. On this episode of Know The Truth, we're in the studio with pastor and Bible teacher Philip De Courcy to learn all about his brand-new series on dealing with unwelcome emotions.

On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy takes a break from his usual teaching and sits down for a personal interview. He'll be reflecting on recent events, ministry updates and looking ahead to his upcoming study on dealing with unwelcome emotions.

From the beginning of time until now, man has been tempted to question the fullness of God and look for fulfillment elsewhere. And it all started with undermining God's word! On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy brings us back to the inerrant Word of God to reminds us that being in Christ is "Everything You Will Ever Want!"

Worship. It's a word with Anglo-Saxon origins meaning “worth-ship”. And sometimes, even as Christians, we put too much worth or value on the wrong things. On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy points to the Scriptures to remind us that only Christ is “worth it”, and why He's truly everything you will ever want.

False prophets, idols, the devil. They all have the same M.O.—to steal the worship of the one true God and place it elsewhere. On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy continues his study in the book of Colossians to defend the supremacy and sufficiency of Jesus Christ, the only one truly worthy of our worship.

People generally follow the customs of the land they belong to—respecting its values, laws, and moral code. And since believers are called citizens of Heaven, we are subject to God and His unique standards! On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy talks about the preeminence of Christ and His kingdom, and why it is everything you will ever want.

If you travel to another land, you may be surprised at the different values, laws, and even standards for morality. What may be encouraged in one place, can be frowned upon in another! On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy explains what it looks like to be a citizen of Heaven and live by God's standards.

In Christ alone. It's the name of a popular and powerful hymn—but it's also the foundational principal of true Christianity! On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy continues his study of Colossians, reminding us that being in Christ alone is "Everything You Will Ever Want!"

Skeptics claim that there are many ways to God, many ways to forgiveness, and many ways to salvation and restoration. But Jesus Christ boldly claimed that He is the only way. On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy reveals why unlike the skeptics' false claims, Jesus proved that He is the only one able to "Make Things Right."

Earth is full of the effects of sin. Pain, death, and sorrow are loud and clear. But Jesus left us with a promise: "Behold, I make all things new." On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy reminds us that no matter what we go through in this life, one day Christ will make things right.

In today's world, many people view politicians, governments, and even self as the ultimate source of authority and truth. On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy opens up to the book of Colossians to reveal why Christ is the only one truly worthy and capable of having "The First Place."

Imagine your spouse giving more time, love, and respect to someone else. You'd be jealous, and rightfully so! And as God's bride, the Bible says He is rightfully and righteously jealous for us! On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy shares a powerful reminder of why when it comes to your life, only Christ is worthy of "The First Place."

The Bible says that love does not envy, but it also says that God is a jealous God! On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy explains why Christ is the only one truly qualified to have "The First Place" in our lives.

Our contemporary culture has a problem accepting Jesus Christ as the one true God. While often accepting Him as a good man, a wise teacher, or a prophet, they refuse to put Jesus in His proper place. On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy makes it plain that there's only one place suitable for Christ, and that's "The First Place."

Many people turn away from Christ because they feel too sinful or too weak to follow Him. But little do they know, He's the very solution to their dilemma! On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy emphasizes the importance of biblical knowledge and how it makes an eternity of difference, for believers and non.

An unawareness of godly knowledge causes us to be limited in our walk of faith. On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy brings us to the book of Colossians to reveal powerful, biblical truths that will help you walk in the fullness of God!

Many of us remember a time when prayer felt fresh, exciting, and was something you looked forward to. But perhaps after time, your prayer life dampened. On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy shares some powerful, biblical truths that will revive your prayer life and set it ablaze!

On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy shares that prayer is not something restricted to yourself or those on the prayer request list. It's in fact a ministry essential to the Church at large!

As members of God's body, the Church is instructed to be long-suffering and loving to one another, but oftentimes, we are impatient and judgmental toward those who are still growing! On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy takes us to Colossians to show us what it means to walk in grace.

Unfortunately, it can be easy to focus on people's negative qualities rather than their positive ones, even when it comes to other Christians! And on this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy takes us to the book of Colossians to give us a fresh perspective that will bring a positive charge to your life and those around you.

Naturally, the person of Jesus Christ is central to who we are as Christians. But sometimes if we're not watchful, we can be pulled away from the simplicity that is in Christ and place our faith elsewhere. On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy directs our hearts to Jesus, reminding us why Christ alone must have the preeminence.

The Bible says there is simplicity in following Christ, but that the Enemy devises clever schemes to corrupt our minds and ruin our dependence on Him. On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy brings us to the book of Colossians to expose the lies and point us back to the Savior.

Gandhi summarized his position on Jesus when he said, “I cannot concede to Christ a solitary throne.” Gandhi—like so many in our contemporary culture—accepted Jesus as someone to be admired, but not worshipped. But on this episode of KNOW THE TRUTH, Philip De Courcy highlights the supremacy and sufficiency of Christ as presented in Paul's letter to the Colossians.
