The Occult describes activities that attempt to connect with hidden spirit forces, either to gain knowledge or to access power. You may be familiar with some practices of the occult, such as witchcraft, palm reading, astrology, fortune telling, and seances. But there are also modern occult practices that masquerade as goodness, are not so easy to identify, but still have the same core pursuits of the “hidden”.

The Triumphal Entry 20:56

7 днів тому20:56

20:56

Jesus has become popular after the miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead, and people from all directions are intrigued by Him and want to get close to Him. But Jesus is more than a momentary curiosity, and if you want to come to Him, then it is a matter of life and death … or, actually, death and life.…

The Anointing of Jesus 25:26

14 днів тому25:26

25:26

When Mary anointed Jesus, Jesus said that this moment would become famous. Why? Mary was performing a sacred act that looked foolish to the intelligent world around her - it looked like a waste of money. But Mary was guided by a sacred intelligence that can understand the will of God and participate in the will of God. What of you? Do you seek God with worldly intelligence or sacred intelligence?…

The Resurrection of Lazarus 26:02

21 день тому26:02

26:02

Jesus taught about the afterlife, resurrection, heaven and hell. But like all things regarding truth, the teachings of God are intended to be received with power. This is the point of the resurrection of Lazarus. For us, if we are not enjoying the power and presence of our Lord right now, then heaven is always going to seem better than hell, but not quite as good as remaining here on earth. People who want to spend an eternity with Jesus are already enjoying time with Jesus.…

Obedience 23:41

8 weeks тому23:41

23:41

Most of us are aware of these words of Jesus, "If you love me then you will keep my commandments" (John 14:15). But how? Some might suggest obedience like a soldier (out of duty), or a child (out of fear), or through accountability, or penance, or to demonstrate love. But what if we still desire to sin? What if that battle for our behavior still rages? God knows that we are weak and vulnerable. God never asks us to do something without providing all the resources and power for us to be successful. With obedience, he provides the Holy Spirit to transform our heart. As we are sanctified, we obey because that's what we've become.…

Prophecy and Scripture 31:53

9 weeks тому31:53

31:53

God has been speaking to humanity since he first created us, and he typically does this through prophecy. But, we know from Scripture that there can be false prophecy, so how can we know what is truth and what is myth? How can we know who is a prophet and who is not?

Prayer 38:38

10 weeks тому38:38

38:38

Prayer is one of the most common activities of Christianity, and yet so many still have questions about it. How do I do it? Why is her prayer answered, and mine is not? Do I need to use "amen" or "in Jesus name" at the end? I am going to answer five of the most common questions that people ask me regarding prayer, and in so doing hopefully drive home an important point - prayer is always easy, but it is essential.…

Words, Tone, and Body Language 27:23

15 weeks тому27:23

27:23

The effective communication of the Gospel out into the world is widely understood to be the central purpose of the Church. But how? Too often, we see this merely as proclaiming the Gospel using words, brochures, websites, etc. We dust off our hands, and feel that we've done our duty - successful with evangelism. As I read through Scripture, I see that the Gospel is communicated by much more than mere words. The words are important, but they are effectively delivered only when combined with power and through lives that radiate God's love, joy, hope, and truth - those who are living a different life.…

A Primer on Spiritual Warfare 36:47

29 weeks тому36:47

36:47

The topic of Spiritual Warfare gets a lot of attention in some corners of Christianity, with teachings that are sometimes more speculative and sensationalized, than biblical. In other corners of Christianity, the topic of Spiritual Warfare is rarely touched upon, and this negligence plays right into the hands of demonic activity. To introduce the arena of Spiritual Warfare, this message covers five points from Scripture: (1) we must be attentive to spiritual attacks, (2) demons are real, (3) Christians cannot be possessed, but are nonetheless vulnerable, (4) these spiritual attacks are deceptive, and (5) we counter these attacks with spiritual weapons and a defensive posture.

Practicing Amen 27:01

33 weeks тому27:01

27:01

Our integrity as a follower of Jesus is to be steadfast, to trust, and to remain committed even in tough times. This is the essence of the word "amen". But, we live in a hedonistic culture that struggles to remain committed. We are more interested in an easy way out than finding the way through. If you are serious about being a Christian, you need to practice "amen" and not just say it at the end of a prayer. Audio and Message Transcript: [Click]…

The Tattling Heart 21:53

37 weeks тому21:53

21:53

God is ultimately concerned about the condition of our heart, and out of the heart flows actions consistent with the state of one's heart. But not only actions, for our words also tattle on the condition of the heart.
