Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    1 John 4:4 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess [a]that Jesus [b]Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. 6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.   1 Thess. 5:21 Test all things and hold on to what is good. 

Community Goes Deep (Eph. 2:19-21, 1 Thess. 2:8)

Theme: Restoration, Repentance, and Prophecy — God's Zeal for Zion and His Sovereign Plan Pastor Matthew continued the study in Zechariah chapters 8–9, emphasizing God's zealous love for Jerusalem, His plan to restore His people, and the prophetic revelation of Jesus' triumphal entry hundreds of years before it happened. The message blended historical restoration, end-time prophecy, and personal spiritual application about obedience, repentance, and loving truth. The Context of Zechariah's Message Zechariah ministered to the returning exiles who were rebuilding the temple and city after Babylonian captivity. His message: Repent and rebuild, learning from the failures of their fathers who disobeyed God. “The reason Jerusalem was run over and the walls were down was because their fathers decided not to obey God.” Pastor warned that disobedience in one generation damages the next, but also offered hope: “The Lord will restore everything the cankerworm has eaten… You can start over today because His mercies are new every morning.” God's Zealous Love and Protective Jealousy (Zechariah 8:1–3) God declares: “I am zealous for Zion with great zeal.” Pastor explained the difference between sinful jealousy (possessive, fearful) and God's holy jealousy (protective, loving). He illustrated this with a story of a discerning wife's protective instinct — likening God's jealousy to the kind that protects, not controls. Application: God's jealousy is a shield of love, not suspicion. He guards His people as a husband guards his bride. God's Promise of Restoration and Peace Zechariah's vision shows old men and women in the streets and children playing again — symbols of renewed peace. Pastor noted that this prophecy has a dual fulfillment: Immediate — Israel's physical return and rebuilding under Nehemiah and Zechariah. Future — The millennial kingdom, when Christ reigns and Jerusalem is finally at peace. “There's coming a day when Jerusalem will never be moved again. They'll suffer, but they're there to stay.” The Nations and Israel — God's Sovereign Control Pastor described how world events align with biblical prophecy: nations turning against Israel, yet unable to uproot her. He cautioned that the stage is being set for the end-times conflict when “all nations come against Jerusalem.” “They're not leaving. Russia's not pushing them out. Muslims aren't. America won't compromise them out. They belong to God.” He reminded the congregation that God owns every nation: “Israel belongs to God. So does Saudi Arabia, Iran, Russia, America, and China. The earth is the Lord's.” Key Point: The rise and fall of nations are under divine authority; human plans collapse, but God's purposes stand forever (Psalm 2). God's Call to Integrity and Truth (Zechariah 8:16–17) The Lord calls His people to: Speak truth to neighbors. Give just judgment. Avoid evil and deceit. Pastor explained that while we are no longer “under the law,” the Ten Commandments remain, summed up in Jesus' two greatest commandments: “Love the Lord your God… and love your neighbor as yourself.” He warned against loving lies and gossip, urging believers to love truth even when it hurts: “Love truth when it punches you in the face. It's your protector.” The Value of Correction and Loving Truth Pastor reminded that truth both encourages and rebukes: “One day truth pats you on the back, saying, ‘Keep going.' The next day it slaps you on the shoulder and says, ‘Stop being foolish.' We need both.” Truth guards against deception — echoing Paul's warning that in the last days, God will send strong delusion to those who reject truth (2 Thess. 2:11–12). Application: “Don't just love truth when it makes you feel good — love it when it corrects you. That's what keeps you safe.” Restoration of Joy and the Future Kingdom (Zechariah 8:19–23) God promised that Israel's fasts of mourning would become feasts of joy. People from many nations would say, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.” Pastor noted this points to both: Israel's national revival, and The global acknowledgment of God's presence among His people. He reminded the church that God reveals Himself to all nations and that no one is beyond His reach, citing: “The grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.” (Titus 2:11) God's Sovereignty in Judgment and Mercy (Zechariah 9) Pastor transitioned into Zechariah 9, noting it shifts from restoration to prophecy and divine judgment. The Lord declares He will judge the surrounding nations (Tyre, Sidon, Gaza, Ashkelon, Philistia), showing He alone controls history. “Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. If He tells you to store up, do it. If not, don't worry — just obey Him.” Prophecy of the Messiah — The Triumphal Entry (Zechariah 9:9–10) One of Scripture's clearest messianic prophecies: “Behold, your King is coming to you… lowly and riding on a donkey.” Pastor showed how this prophecy was fulfilled exactly in Luke 19:28–40, 500 years later, when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a colt. He explained Jesus' deity through this miracle: He knew where the donkey was before the disciples arrived. The unbroken colt didn't resist because its Creator was riding it. “You don't buck the one who made you.” Key Revelation: Even creation recognizes the Creator. When the Pharisees told Jesus to silence His followers, He replied, “If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” Closing Reflections — God's Ownership and Faithfulness Everything in creation belongs to God and returns to Him. All life flows from Him — human, animal, or natural — and He sustains it all. Pastor closed personally, thanking the congregation for prayers during his recovery from hip pain, testifying how God used the trial to draw him closer: “If you'll just talk to God and open your life to Him, He'll use it. He knows how to do things right.” He reflected on Jacob's limp and said, like the patriarch, “God weakened my strength in the way” to prepare him for the next phase of ministry. Core Message God's jealousy is protective — His love guards His people. Love truth, even when it hurts. Israel's restoration and Christ's reign are certain. God's Word is precise — prophecy always fulfills perfectly. Every trial, every delay, every pain can be used by God for transformation.

Paulus schreibt an die Gemeinde in Thessalonich: „Nun, Brüder und Schwestern, wir bitten euch, diejenigen zu schätzen, die unter euch hart arbeiten, die euch im Herrn leiten und euch lehren. Achtet sie mit einer ganz besonderen Liebe wegen der Arbeit, die sie tun“ (s.1.Thess 5,12-13). Betrachte folgende Statistiken des einundzwanzigsten Jahrhunderts: (1) Fünfzig Prozent der Pastoren fühlen sich so entmutigt, dass sie den Dienst verlassen würden, wenn sie könnten, aber sie wissen keinen anderen Weg, ihren Lebensunterhalt zu verdienen. (2) Fünfzig Prozent der angehenden Geistlichen werden den Dienst nach fünf Jahren nicht fortsetzen. (3) Nur jeder zehnte Geistliche wird im Ruhestand in irgendeiner Form als Pastor tätig sein. (4) In Amerika verließen im Jahr 2011 monatlich mehr als 1.700 Pastoren den Dienst. – Es gibt viele Gründe, warum Pastoren den Dienst verlassen. Ein Grund ist unzureichende finanzielle Unterstützung und Stress in der Familie. Paulus spricht dies an: „Die Ältesten, die gut regieren, sollen doppelte Ehre verdienen, besonders die, die im Wort und in der Lehre arbeiten.“ Denn die Schrift sagt: „Du sollst dem Ochsen, der da drischt, nicht das Maul verbinden“ und: „Der Arbeiter ist seines Lohnes wert“ (s.1.Tim 5,17-18). Manche Pastoren verlassen den Dienst, weil sie häufiger Kritik ausgesetzt sind. Paulus sagt dazu: „Gegen einen Ältesten nimm keine Klage an ohne zwei oder drei Zeugen“ (1.Tim 5,19 LU). Bete für deinen Pastor und zeige ihm deine Wertschätzung. Gott wird dich dafür segnen.

In this week's Leadership Lessons, we remember that the gospel is not just what we believe it's what we become through Him. Jesus joined our humanity (John 1:14), took our place (2 Cor 5:21), freed us from sin's rule (Rom 8:15), restored us to relationship (Rom 5:10-11), made us righteous (Rom 5:1), called us His own (John 20:17), set us apart by His Spirit (2 Thess 2:13), gave us victory (Col 2:15), breathed new life into prayer (Rom 6:9-10), lifted us into Heaven's presence (Eph 2:6), intercedes for us continually (Heb 7:25), transforms us from glory to glory (2 Cor 3:18), and leads us as the head of a new humanity (Rom 5:19). The Spirit now makes these truths alive in us reminding us we're not working for acceptance but living from it. Our part is agreement and surrender, letting His finished work form our daily walk.

November 4, 2025Today's Reading: 2 Thessalonians 1:1-5 (6-10) 11-12Daily Lectionary: Jeremiah 5:1-19; Matthew 22:23-46“We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing.” (2 Thessalonians 1:3)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Paul was persistent. He was a man on a mission, literally, and his mission plan was simple: go into a city and find a synagogue, open up the Scriptures, and preach Christ from them. Some would believe, some would want to hear more, and others would aggressively oppose Paul's message about Jesus. Paul would eventually be run out of town, which would propel him to the next city, and he would do it all over again – preach Christ crucified and risen. And you know what? The Word worked! People believed! A church began! The Gospel spread! Paul visited Thessalonica on his second missionary journey, and it was ministry as usual. He entered the synagogue on three different Sabbaths, teaching from the Scriptures that Jesus, who was crucified and risen from the dead, is the Christ. Some believed, while others formed a mob and ran him out of town. The rioters justified their violent reaction by claiming, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also.” Indeed, the gospel was having its way. Even in the face of the uproar and despite Paul being run out of town, a church was born. God, by His grace, caused ears to hear the Good News of Jesus, and He granted hearts to believe. Paul would later marvel about this work of the Holy Spirit among them, “For you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit, so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia…your faith has gone forth everywhere” (1 Thess. 1:6a-8a). Years later, Paul would continue to give thanks to God for their growing faith and for the fruit of that faith, their increasing love for one another. That same gospel word is still at work among us, turning the world on its head. God is still rich in his saving grace towards us sinners. The Holy Spirit is still at work within us, causing faith to grow and increasing our love for others. It is true, in spite of the opposition within and outside of us. God is true to His word; He is faithful in His promises –for this “we ought to give thanks to God.” This is the testimony of His church. This is our story too!In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Abide with me, O Savior, a firmer faith bestow; then I shall bid defiance to ev'ry evil foe. (LSB 587:2)Rev. Darrin Sheek, pastor at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church Anaheim, CA.Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Harrison Goodman is the Executive Director of Mission and Theology for Higher Things.This new devotional resource by Carl Fickenscher walks you through each week's readings, revealing thematic connections and helping you better understand what is to come in worship each Sunday.

In this deeply insightful message, Pastor Olubi Johnson unveils the mystery of divine orchestration, using the story of Paul in Acts 23 as a vivid illustration. He teaches that prayer is the spiritual mechanism through which God activates protection, preservation, and guidance in the believer's life. Even when circumstances seem uncertain, God's invisible hand is always at work, shaping events to fulfil His perfect plan (Rom. 8:28; Is. 64:4).   Pastor Olubi warns against being hasty to judge others, reminding us that some may act wrongly yet with sincere hearts, like Paul before his conversion. Others may stumble through ignorance or wrong influence. Instead of condemning, we must pray and show mercy (Acts 23:1; 1 Tim. 1:13). He reminds believers that God's timing is precise—His promises unfold through a series of divine steps, each preparing you for destiny. The path may sometimes be rough or delayed because the enemy opposes your advancement, but patience and prayer guarantee victory (Hab. 2:3; 1 Thess. 2:18).   God's protection is not always spectacular—it can come through a quiet nudge, a delay, or a simple prompting. Such subtle leadings are as supernatural as visible miracles (Is. 30:21; Ps. 91:11). Those who walk closely with God carry greater responsibility and must live with greater caution and consistency in prayer. Frequent, fervent praying in the Spirit disarms unseen threats and aligns all things for your good (Rom. 8:26–28; Jude 1:20).   You can follow Pastor Olubi Johnson on X, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

“Stand fast in the Lord.” (Phil. 4:1) Why stand? Because the enemy comes in like a flood (Isa. 59:19). What do we stand for? The Scriptures, the Faith, and the Gospel (2 Thess. 2:15; Jude 3; Gal. 5:1). How do we stand? By putting on the whole armor of God (Eph. 6:10–18).The Gospel: Jesus died for our sins and rose again (1 Cor. 15:3–4). Call upon Him today (Rom. 10:9–13).

BE NOT DECEIVED! Maybe the dry season you're going through in the word has its solution in one of the points & scripture references listed. Approach this message like it's your first time hearing these things, and the word will have an effect on you (1 Thess. 2:13).

What if Revelation 20 doesn't show TWO judgments… but ONE powerful Day of Judgment REPLAYED from Heaven's vantage point?In this final installment, we prove that John is not fast-forwarding 1,000 years into a second judgment — he's rewinding to complete the SAME DAY already seen.

October is designated as Clergy Appreciation Month (CAM) for all Christian churches in the US, honoring St. Paul's exhortation to acknowledge those "who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you," and to "hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work" (1 Thess. 5:12-13). In honor of CAM, Pres. Kerry Pappas speaks with Fr. Louis Christopulos, a priest of over 40 years who presently serves as the Chancellor of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Denver about the importance of showing appreciation for all members of the body of Christ and specifically for our priests and their families.

Listen along as we continue through the book of Acts. Acts 17:1-15 - Faith Acts 17:1-15 “The resurrection was indeed a miraculous display of God's power, but we should not see it as a suspension of the natural order of the world. Rather it was the beginning of the restoration of the natural order of the world, the world as God intended it to be…The resurrection means not merely that Christians have a hope for the future but that they have a hope that comes from the future. The Bible's startling message is that when Jesus rose, he brought the future kingdom of God into the present.” - Tim Keller 1 Thess 1:1-10 1 Thess 5:1-11 Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God, according as we find His mind described in Scripture. It is the habit of agreeing in God's judgment, hating what He hates, loving what He loves, and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word. - JC Ryle   The Bible isn't a book of rules, or a book of heroes. The Bible is most of all a Story. It's an adventure story about a young Hero who comes from a far country to win back his lost treasure. It's a love story about a brave Prince who leaves his palace, his throne—everything— to rescue the one he loves. It's like the most wonderful of fairy tales that has come true in real life! There are lots of stories in the Bible, but all the stories are telling one Big Story. The Story of how God loves his children and comes to rescue them. - Sally Lloyd Jones What's going on? Where is the good news? How has the church seen this through history? How does this shape us toward repentance/faith/flourishing? Psalm 119:105  Hebrews 4:12  Ephesians 6:17

Chapter 27 — Paragraph 1 All saints that are united to Jesus Christ, their head, by his Spirit, and faith, although they are not made thereby one person with him, have fellowship in his graces, sufferings, death, resurrection, and glory;1 and, being united to one another in love, they have communion in each others gifts and graces,2 and are obliged to the performance of such duties, public and private, in an orderly way, as do conduce to their mutual good, both in the inward and outward man.3 1 1 John 1:3; John 1:16; Phil. 3:10; Rom. 6:5–6 2 Eph. 4:15–16; 1 Cor. 12:7; 3:21–23 3 1 Thess. 5:11,14; Rom. 1:12; 1 John 3:17–18; Gal. 6:10 — Paragraph 2 Saints by profession are bound to maintain a holy fellowship and communion in the worship of God, and in performing such other spiritual services as tend to their mutual edification;4 as also in relieving each other in outward things according to their several abilities, and necessities;5 which communion, according to the rule of the gospel, though especially to be exercised by them, in the relation wherein they stand, whether in families,6 or churches,7 yet, as God offers opportunity, is to be extended to all the household of faith, even all those who in every place call upon the name of the Lord Jesus; nevertheless their communion one with another as saints, does not take away or infringe the title or propriety which each man has in his goods and possessions.8 4 Heb. 10:24–25, 3:12–13 5 Acts 11:29–30 6 Eph. 6:4 7 1 Cor. 12:14–27 8 Acts 5:4; Eph. 4:28

Feast of Tabernacles Thursday, 10-9-25: 1 Thess 4:17:  "Caught Up!"  Todays Bible study was revelation from the Holy Spirit to me on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles.  Come and see what all has been pulled together for this episode!

It is perfectly acceptable and Biblical for women to lead Bibles studies outside the church as an ancillary addition to the church, and especially if it is a viable avenue for study of the Word on a daily basis, like I'm doing on this show, and paving the way for all of us to be closer to the Lord and become more knowledgeable of the Bible.  If you care to contribute to my work with the Daily Bible study and sharing the Gospel, as part of your tithes and offerings, you can do so through PayPal by sending it to my PayPal address of: ReneHoladay@gmail.com You are also welcome to email me at the same email address above if you have any thoughts you'd like to share about this episode!    Thank you for watching and God Bless you all! ;()

Titus Miller - 1 Thess. 4

— Paragraph 12 As all believers are bound to join themselves to particular churches, when and where they have opportunity so to do; so all that are admitted unto the privileges of a church, are also under the censures and government thereof, according to the rule of Christ.25 25 1 Thess. 5:14; 2 Thess. 3:6,14–15 — Paragraph 13 No church members, upon any offence taken by them, having performed their duty required of them towards the person they are offended at, ought to disturb any church-order, or absent themselves from the assemblies of the church, or administration of any ordinances, upon the account of such offence at any of their fellow members, but to wait upon Christ, in the further proceeding of the church.26 26 Matt. 18:15–17; Eph. 4:2–3 — Paragraph 14 As each church, and all the members of it, are bound to pray continually for the good and prosperity of all the churches of Christ,27 in all places, and upon all occasions to further every one within the bounds of their places and callings, in the exercise of their gifts and graces, so the churches, when planted by the providence of God, so as they may enjoy opportunity and advantage for it, ought to hold communion among themselves, for their peace, increase of love, and mutual edification.28 27 Eph. 6:18; Ps. 122:6 28 Rom. 16:1–2; 3 John 8–10 — Paragraph 15 In cases of difficulties or differences, either in point of doctrine or administration, wherein either the churches in general are concerned, or any one church, in their peace, union, and edification; or any member or members of any church are injured, in or by any proceedings in censures not agreeable to truth and order: it is according to the mind of Christ, that many churches holding communion together, do, by their messengers, meet to consider, and give their advice in or about that matter in difference, to be reported to all the churches concerned;29 howbeit these messengers assembled, are not intrusted with any church-power properly so called; or with any jurisdiction over the churches themselves, to exercise any censures either over any churches or persons; or to impose their determination on the churches or officers.30 29 Acts 15:2,4,6,22–23,25 30 2 Cor. 1:24; 1 John 4:1

A look at 1 Thess. 3:1-13

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary This conversation explores the shift from a primarily “soulish” Christian experience — driven by feelings, fear, and physical evidence — into a mature, Spirit-led life. The speakers celebrate a growing readiness to hear, see, and move in the Spirit, urge believers to pursue wholeness (body, soul, and spirit), and call for spiritual preparation and warfare through the Word (symbolized by “selling the cloak and buying the sword”). The overall tone is hopeful and expectant: deliverance and fuller spiritual living are already purchased and available; now is the time to receive and stand in what Christ accomplished. Show Notes Introduction: framing the “Day of Spirit” and the transition from a soulish age to a Spirit age. Readiness to receive: Jesus' promise of “many more things” and the sense that the body of Christ is becoming ready to receive deeper revelation. (John 16:12) Practical wholeness: the need for body and soul to support the spirit—seeking physical, mental, and emotional health as part of spiritual growth. Spiritual conflict and preparation: “Sell your cloak and buy a sword” as a call to exchange old defenses for the Word of God and spiritual maturity. (Luke 22:36; Hebrews 4:12) Deliverance and preservation: contending for preservation of body, soul, and spirit and living in the freedom purchased by Christ's blood. (1 Thess. 5:23; 1 Peter 1:18–19) Anecdote/metaphor: “Two little fishes” parable illustrating how those anchored in the Spirit perceive the world differently. Final exhortation: stand, move forward, expect deliverance now — the finished work is enough and available. Quotes “This is a Day of Spirit… God is doing things by His Spirit, and I believe that is what we're going to experience as we walk into this new day.” “We're walking on in the Spirit to do and become more and more capable of ministering in the spirit and receiving things from God in the spirit.” “Sell your cloak and buy a sword… the sword: the Word of the living God, the sharp two-edged sword.” “

Hello and Welcome in to another episode of Sermon Review! Join us for this special episode where we hear from one of our former Pastors, and current pastor at the church plant Iglesia Bautista Soli Deo Gloria, Victor Rodriguez. 

THIS EPISODE When is the rapture? WHAT is the rapture? Rob and Vinnie examine 1 Thess 4:13-18, the famous "rapture" passage, to discern what Paul's message to the Thessalonians was. Rob and Vinnie argue that the passage describes the coming of a king to a city. They suggest that Paul encourages the Thessalonians with respect to those in the community who had died by assuring them that they had not missed the Second Coming of Christ, but instead, those who died will be the first to meet Christ in the air in order to escort Him into the city.    FOLLOW THE PODCAST Subscribe to be notified of our new episodes (each Monday).  Want to help us expand the Gospel of the Kingdom?
