Prophecy on SermonAudio

The sermon examines the doctrine of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, distinguishing it from the separate experience often taught in charismatic circles. It argues that the biblical baptism of the Spirit occurs at salvation, indwelling the believer and washing away sin, rather than serving as a subsequent empowerment for special gifts. The speaker critiques the blurring of doctrinal lines that leads to false assumptions, using examples from cultural debates to illustrate how confusion can be manipulated. By analyzing Acts 2 and 1 Corinthians 12-13, the text posits that the sign gifts of the Spirit, such as tongues and prophecy, were necessary for the validation of the infant church but have ceased as the church matured into the fullness of Scripture. The presentation concludes that while the Holy Spirit remains active, the specific miraculous signs associated with the early church are no longer required for believers today.

Dr. Schmidt examines a recent American concert series that was used to propagate pro-Palestinian rhetoric with an antisemitic flavor. He also examines a major warning issued by two Artificial Intelligence executives and the pushback from President Trump.

This sermon examines the events of Pentecost in Acts chapter two, defining the term as simply meaning 'fiftieth' rather than implying any magical properties. The speaker argues that the gift of tongues was a supernatural ability to speak known foreign dialects for evangelism, explicitly rejecting the concept of unknown or ecstatic languages. By analyzing the crowd's reaction and Peter's subsequent sermon, the text highlights the fulfillment of Joel's prophecy regarding the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The central message emphasizes that this power was granted to enable clear communication of the Gospel to diverse audiences, ensuring the message of salvation was understood by all. Ultimately, the passage serves as a call for believers to boldly proclaim the word of God without fear or timidity.

What will actually happen when Jesus Christ returns? Who are the mysterious "powers of the heavens" that will be shaken at His Second Coming? And what does Jesus' teaching in Mark 13:24–27 tell us about the Tribulation, final judgment, the rapture, the resurrection, and the return of Christ? In this message, we take a deep dive into Jesus' stunning prophecy in the Olivet Discourse and examine His description of the glorious Second Coming. Jesus says that "the Son of Man" will come in the clouds with great power and glory, and that He will send His angels to gather His elect from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens. This passage raises profound questions about the end times. If you enjoy the episode, please consider subscribing to the podcast and leaving a 5-star rating. This helps others find the podcast. My sermons are the fruit of nearly 30 years of pastoral ministry, biblical counseling, formal seminary training, and a lifelong passion for God's Word. Since childhood, I've been drawn to the beauty and power of expository preaching—opening Scripture verse by verse and applying it to real life. After graduating from Moody Bible Institute, I spent the next 27 years serving as a youth pastor, senior pastor, church planter, and host of the Food For Your Soul radio broadcast. Along the way, I also earned a Master of Sacred Literature and a Doctor of Religious Studies. For more content from D. Richard Ferguson, visit TreasuringGod.com.

He is the speaker on the weekly TV program, Prophecy Focus and the radio broadcast, Prophecy Unfolding. He spent 32 years in law enforcement. He's authored several books including: Globalism: The Great World Consumption and Artificial Intelligence: Transhumanism & the De-Evolution of Democracy. The rapid advancement of AI has been staggering and is proving itself to be dangerous. Human data centers are being replaced by robots. Humans are even having romantic relationships and conversations with AI. AI is producing explicit sexual materials even of minor children. A young teenager used ChatGPT for murder fantasies before taking the life of his mother and his brother. Criminals are using AI to advance their fraud. It's reported that Chinese companies are stealing AI Tech on an "Industrial Scale." AI has been discovered going rogue...even causing its own attacks on other systems. It's as if it's thinking for itself. Researchers are now saying that AI has more than a 10% chance of killing all humans. One such researcher indicated it could kill everyone by the end of the decade. Where is this all headed? Does the cry from scientists and the media that "The sky is falling!" with respect to AI comport with Scripture? Find out on part-one of this critical Crosstalk discussion.

This sermon examines 2 Peter 1:12-21 to establish the authority of Scripture over personal experience and human tradition. It contrasts the eyewitness testimony of the Transfiguration with the enduring reliability of the written Word, arguing that the Bible is a 'more sure word' that outlasts the lives of the apostles. The teaching emphasizes that prophecy is a light for believers to 'take heed' to, rather than a puzzle for private interpretation, and warns against adding dates or doctrines not found in the text. The preacher encourages the congregation to adopt the Berean attitude of receiving the Word with readiness while diligently searching the Scriptures to verify its truth.
