The sermon emphasizes that genuine faith in Jesus Christ must be accompanied by active works and evangelism, drawing primarily from James chapter 2. It clarifies the relationship between salvation by grace through faith and the subsequent call to good works, referencing Ephesians 2 and Romans 3-5. Bro. Warren urges believers to actively share the gospel with the lost, illustrating that passive belief is insufficient without tangible action and witness. By examining examples like Abraham and the nature of divine grace, the message asserts that true faith transforms behavior and compels obedience to the Great Commission. Ultimately, the sermon calls the congregation to integrate their spiritual convictions into daily life, ensuring their actions glorify God and point others to salvation.

The Bible has laid out signs or markers in the life of believers that they may be able to test themselves to see if they are in the faith. Not by emotions or decisions but true signs of a supernatural work of God.

This sermon exposes the sin of entitlement through an examination of Jonah's anger at God's mercy toward the repentant city of Nineveh. The preacher argues that believers often mistakenly believe they deserve God's blessings due to their heritage or status, rather than recognizing these gifts as unearned acts of divine grace. By contrasting Jonah's selfish pouting with God's compassionate concern for lost souls, the text highlights the necessity of humility and gratitude in the Christian life. The message challenges the congregation to reject attitudes of superiority and instead embrace a posture of thankfulness for their own salvation. Ultimately, it calls Christians to reflect God's character by showing mercy to others rather than harboring resentment toward those outside the faith.

A very challenging message about talking to others about Jesus. Jesus is the ONLY solution to the problems of the lost and unsaved!

God never lies. God also meets every need that the true child of God has. When there is a failure, it is never God's fault. It is man who does not trust God nor obey Him. The children of Joseph were well able to take all the land promised to them. They chose not to do so because they doubted God. It could also be they grew weary of doing their part in taking the land. They lost out.

Tracing the dispensations from innocence into conscience, the preacher shows that the dominion God originally gave mankind in Genesis 1:26 was forfeited in the fall and usurped by the serpent. He argues from Luke 4, 2 Corinthians 4:3-4, Ephesians 2 and 2 Timothy 2 that Satan is presently the god of this world, holding the lost captive at his will and blinding their minds to the glorious gospel of Christ. Much of the message applies that truth to the moral confusion, addictions and hostility toward Christ seen in the present age, insisting this is not the kingdom age and that Christ will return with a sword to reclaim the kingdoms of the earth. The preacher then calls believers to a burdened, patient and gracious approach to the lost, since they walk in a darkness we once walked in ourselves. He closes from Colossians 1:12-13, urging the unsaved to trust Christ and be translated out of the power of darkness into the kingdom of God's dear Son.

Leaving the New Age involves more than rejecting false beliefs. New believers must learn to think, worship, build relationships, and live according to the Word of God. In this episode, Doreen Virtue explains why those coming out of New Age spirituality need biblical discipleship and active involvement in a faithful local church. She addresses spiritual warfare, lost friendships, church hurt, corporate worship, Christian fellowship, baptism, the Lord's Supper, and the importance of serving alongside other believers. Although online teaching can be helpful, it cannot replace belonging to the body of Christ. Christians need the biblical instruction, accountability, encouragement, fellowship, ordinances, and relationships God provides through the local church.

What is the true face of evil? When exploring what the Bible says about false teachers, we must realize that wolves in sheep's clothing often appear kind and highly appealing to the culture. In this message, Dr. Richard Caldwell explains the vital necessity of recognizing false teachers in the church by using biblical discernment rather than relying on our physical senses or emotional reactions. Because God judges perfectly and evaluates the hidden heart, believers must align their understanding with the biblical view of sin and evil. We are called to practice righteous judgment, cultivating a righteous hatred for false doctrine while maintaining a genuine, prayerful desire for the salvation of the lost.
