Counterfeit Christ | Who Is the Real Jesus? | Jonathan Moynahan

William Taylor - It is easy for us to shape our own views of who Jesus is such that he becomes a comfortable figure who fits nicely into our agenda for him. In John 6 Jesus challenges such ‘plastic Jesus' images. He is greater and more wonderful than anything we could invent…and less cosy!

Basic instructions before leaving earth?  Instruction manual? History?  None of these.  The bible is a collection of scriptures that leads to one major truth.  Jesus.Frank Spalding and the preaching team at Lincoln Hills Christian Church welcomes all those seeking to know more about the Real Jesus and how to be an active disciple.

The Peaceful Prince | Charlie GrimesDescription:It is easy to sing about the "Prince of Peace" by candlelight on Christmas Eve. It is much harder to follow Him when the candles go out and the conflict begins.In this message, Pastor Charlie Grimes takes us from the manger in Bethlehem to the courtroom of Pontius Pilate. We discover that Jesus didn't just come to bring a sentimental feeling; He came to establish a Kingdom that operates on an entirely different power source.We are faced with a choice: Will we choose the way of Barabbas (force, coercion, and "winning"), or will we choose the way of the Prince of Peace?Key Takeaways:Why you cannot build a Kingdom from above using methods from below.The difference between the "Christmas Card" Jesus and the Real Jesus.How to fight for the Truth without using the world's weapons.Scripture: Isaiah 9:6-7, John 18:33-37Speaker: Charlie GrimesDate: December 28, 2025Church: Walnut Creek Mennonite Church#Sermon #PrinceOfPeace #John18 #Anabaptist #WalnutCreekMennonite #PeaceChurch #Christianity

The Running with God Podcast is back! We are diving deep into knowing and following the REAL JESUS. This new series kicks off with a look at Matthew 16:13-16

As this year comes to an end lets not look back to things that might have been but instead lets look forward to what we can do for God and with God to be better disciples.Frank Spalding and the preaching team at Lincoln Hills Christian Church welcomes all those seeking to know more about the Real Jesus and how to be an active disciple.

In a world of chaos and uncertainty, lasting peace can only be found in Jesus Christ, who is THE Prince of Peace. Unlike temporary sources of comfort that fade away, Jesus offers eternal peace that doesn't depend on our circumstances. This biblical peace serves as an anchor during life's storms and can coexist with sorrow and difficulty. True peace comes through a personal relationship with Jesus, not just church attendance or religious activities. We access this peace by surrendering completely to Christ and spending intentional time with him through prayer, Bible reading, worship, and using our God-given gifts.

Sermon Passage: Matthew 2:1-12 December 21st, 2025 at Harvest Bible Church.

Luke 2:1-16

Biblical prophecies surrounding Jesus' birth reveal God's perfect timing and unwavering faithfulness. From the first promise in Genesis to Isaiah's virgin birth prophecy, God demonstrates He is never caught off guard or distracted. The virgin birth shows God can work outside natural limitations, while Jesus' humble birth in Bethlehem proves God uses small and insignificant things for extraordinary purposes. Even during 400 years of silence between testaments, God was orchestrating every detail for the perfect moment. When we face overwhelming circumstances, these prophecies remind us that the same God who planned every aspect of Jesus' birth is actively involved in the details of our lives.

Hebrews 1:1-4

The title "Eternal Father" given to Jesus in Isaiah 9:6 doesn't contradict the Trinity but reveals His role as the founder and eternal ruler of God's kingdom. Just as ancient kings were called "fathers" to their people as protectors and providers, Jesus serves as the eternal King whose government rests entirely on His shoulders. While everyone is under His universal rule, citizenship in His kingdom comes only through faith in Christ. As citizens of God's kingdom, we're not just saved from sin but saved to something greater - eternal citizenship under the perfect rule of Jesus Christ, who remains faithful yesterday, today, and forever.

In Revelation 5, the apostle John hears about the Lion of the Tribe of Judah but when he looks he sees something very unexpected: the Lamb who was slain. What does it mean for our faith that Jesus is both the Lion & the Lamb? Listen in as Jeff continues our Christmas series, exploring the Real Jesus, and how His life, death, and resurrection impacts us today.

All through the Old Testament we see broken and estranged families.  The story of Joseph is one of those.  We need to learn from the failings of these people so that we don't let our brokenness stay the way it is.  We need to have grace and look for the redemption in all these situations.Frank Spalding and the preaching team at Lincoln Hills Christian Church welcomes all those seeking to know more about the Real Jesus and how to be an active disciple.

Instead of being concerned with our abundance, we should be willing to give of whatever we have.  Please support our missions.Frank Spalding and the preaching team at Lincoln Hills Christian Church welcomes all those seeking to know more about the Real Jesus and how to be an active disciple.

Today, we take a closer look at the different versions of Jesus across various religions. We'll explore the consciousness of Christ, the idea of Jesus, and other fascinating topics… Welcome to Religion Camp!

John 1: 9-14

Jesus as the Mighty God reveals His power through both meekness and glory. His first coming demonstrated strength through voluntary weakness - choosing to become a helpless baby, learning and growing as a human, and appearing ordinary despite His divine nature. This incarnation wasn't weakness but the ultimate display of confidence in His mission. His second coming will reveal His full glory and power, when every knee will bow and every tongue confess His lordship. Between these two advents, we live in tension, called to faithfulness while His kingdom advances through love and service. The question isn't whether Jesus is mighty, but whether we will trust Him personally with our lives.

I'd love to hear from you. Send me a text! :)What if I told you that the joy God promises isn't something you lose when life gets hard, but something that actually carries you through those hard times?If you've ever felt like your joy comes and goes depending on what's happening around you… I get it. We've all experienced that rollercoaster… when something good happens, joy rises. When something falls apart, joy drops.But that's happiness, not joy.This week on the Faith-Inspired Living Podcast, we're talking about the difference between happiness and real, Jesus-rooted joy — the kind that doesn't disappear when life gets hard or when your prayers are still in process.Because the truth is this:Joy isn't tied to your circumstances.Joy is tied to your Savior.Hold onto Jesus and receive His joy!He's working all things together for your good.~ ~ ~Just a quick reminder — the GOD Says So™ Shop is launching this January! I'm so excited for you to experience this Scripture-rooted Christian lifestyle brand.

It grows. It changes. Someday, some say it will conquer!Will it? That depends upon YOU. Do you understand AI and its potential, the ramifications of its capability, do you? I don't, and I guarantee you that the smartest AI person in this world does not either for one simple reason: it never stays the same. It is here today, gone tomorrow, changed, improved, more dominant. The AI of tomorrow does away with the AI of today. What is happening in the world of AI can be constructive or destructive. What do you think?One listener to the Stand wondered whether or not AI could:CREATE JESUSThat is, produce a false, mechanical, perhaps even satanic version of our Lord. Would we, said this listener, know the difference between the REAL JESUS and:A JESUS CREATED BY AI.Interesting questions, don't you think?How can we know the real from the artificial, the sum of the real God from an artificial creation? The first way is to keep a spiritual life completely under the influence of:THE HOLY SPIRITThe Spirit bears witness. It knows the Truth. It is the Truth. It reminds you internally, heart, soul, and even stomach with a so-called:SPIRITUAL GUT CHECKwhen something or someone is Biblically, spiritually, or morally:WRONG.Any AI Jesus, whether created in whole or in part, is dead, satanic, and:WRONG.The Spirit of the Living God, the Holy Spirit, will let you know if you ask.The second way to know the real Jesus from a falsehood is through:PRAYER.When in doubt, ask. When troubled, pray. Seek the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, the Christ of Glory, and the Wisdom of God the Father. Seek it with all your heart. Ask, and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock on the spiritual doors and they will be opened unto you. Ask in PRAYER. Ask casually or devotedly on your knees. If you ask sincerely, our Divine Messenger the Holy Spirit will answer. Prayer works wonders. That is especially so when the Holy Spirit is at work.The third way a Christian can know the real from the artificial, the real Jesus from a satanic, artificial creation is through the working of a:SOUND MIND.God has not given us the spirit of fear, especially of AI, but of power, love, and sound mind. Are you powerful? Does love permeate your life? Do you possess a sound mind?Train your mind in the ways of the Lord. Read. Research.One has assurances about AI, about anything and everything, if one is an entire Christian, a whole Christian, fully converted and believing in:MINDINTELLECTHEARTEMOTIONSSOULThe whole spirit of the human being. Any Christian can be all of these things, more or less. You need not be an intellectual giant, but you do need to have an intellectual mind which can decern right from wrong, fact from fiction, and truth from lie. The intervention of the Holy Spirit can be yours if you sincerely ASK through prayer.Modern day preachers use AI for content and research for their sermons. Can you tell where the Spirit takes off in the message and AI takes over? Ask the pastor.Churches will use AI. Evangelical Christian organizations will use AI. Religious programs on radio and television will use AI. Can you tell the difference, can you know or at least sense when AI is at work?The Scriptures, our Bible, tell us, WE THE CHRISTIAN PEOPLE, to:KNOW THE SIGNS OF THE TIMESTO TEST THE SPIRITSNot to be afraid, not to run away from the problem, but to be involved to the extent we can. No one should tell us how to evaluate AI or disparage us if we do not fully understand this pervasive force, its problems and potential. NO ONE!But, YOU must do the best YOU can. If the Holy Spirit draws within, you will know for your mind, heart, soul, and even your stomach will react to the:SPIRITUAL GUT CHECK.That is the bottom line, for Truth lives within and can not be compromised by anything artificial.Three things are dominant:FAITHHOPELOVEAI can never challenge, corrupt, or produce doubt with regard to the real FAITH of a real Christian. NEVER. If AI challenges your faith, accept that as a positive, respond to the challenge, learn more about your faith, and appreciate how wonderful, strong, and lasting it is.AI can never reduce or eliminate the HOPE of a Christian, for all things here on this earth, and even the better things to come.AND LOVE. No matter what AI says, does, or becomes in the future, there is no way, NO WAY that AI can ever reproduce or replicate:LOVE.Real love. And that, my fellow Christians, is the Eternal Love of God the Father in our Lord Jesus Christ. That love at work will triumph every time over the artificial, the unreal, the unscriptural, the unspiritual of the thing called:ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.Never be afraid, never doubt, never worry, for you can be absolutely certain there will be no artificial intelligence of any kind in Heaven:ONLY THE REAL JESUS!

What are you most thankful for this Thanksgiving?In this powerful 2025 Thanksgiving weekend message, Pastor Dennis (70 years old, born 1955) shares his personal story and the 3 things he's most thankful for after 45 years of walking with Jesus.You'll hear:-How he went from being a Wall Street party guy and nominal Catholic to discovering he was actually an enemy of God-The night in 1980 when he finally surrendered 100% to the REAL Jesus of the Bible (not the cultural or “historical” Jesus)-Why true peace with God (Romans 5:1) is the greatest gift any person can receive-How God cares for His children daily in ways we often overlook-The joy of being “in the ditch” working alongside God to reach the lostIf you've ever wondered:• “Do I really have peace with God?”• “Am I following the Jesus of the Bible or a fake version?”• “What does genuine thankfulness look like?”…this message is for you.Romans 5:1 – “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Believers are able to walk in Christ's grace only as we know him fully. Anything else is a diminished walk of faith.Subscribe to daily devotions e-mails: https://wcm.link/ddsub

Isaiah 40:1-5

Jesus is far more than just a good moral teacher - He is our Wonderful Counselor as prophesied in Isaiah 9:6. While many reduce Jesus to a moral instructor, this severely limits His true identity and purpose. We already have moral teaching through the Law, but what we need is someone who can make us right with God. Jesus uniquely serves as the perfect mediator between God and humanity because He perfectly knows both through His incarnation and divine nature. As our Wonderful Counselor, He reveals the truth of God and shows us who we were meant to be as humans. To access His counsel, we must actively press into Him through prayer and action, not passively wait for direction.

Paul said in his letter to the Philippians that their God is their stomachs and their destiny is destruction.

In the Gospel of Mark were told how Jesus healed ten lepers and sent them to the priest but one came back immediately to thank and praise Jesus for what he had done.  We need to remember the blessings in our lives and be aware of where they come from and be thankful.Frank Spalding and the preaching team at Lincoln Hills Christian Church welcomes all those seeking to know more about the Real Jesus and how to be an active disciple.
