Description
Ephesians 6:10-20 Today's lesson has vital information for every believer. We are in spiritual warfare right now whether we want to be or not. In this lesson you will learn who your enemy is and what God says you can do to be more than a victim. As we learn together what God wants us to do and fighting this spiritual battle we see that we have armament and offensive weapons. But we must know who the enemy is and how to stand against him. I pray that this lesson will encourage, inform, strengthen, and give you some vital information about the spiritual warfare we are in. Part one is only the introduction, next week we will get into more specifics. 61min

2 Peter 3b The Coming "Day of the Lord"
Pastor Nelson
2 Peter 3:8-13
Loading the player...
Description
2 Peter 3:8-13 Today's message is an exciting one; a promise from God that should make every believer's heart joyful. Besides giving us hope, today's message explains some prophecies that many do not know about or understand. Remember God is never tardy or late and always fulfills His promises to us! Love is the reason that Jesus is delaying the destruction of the world. What this will look like is truly amazing. God's deepest desire for the world is repentance and faith so that one day we may spend eternity with Him in a brand-new heaven and earth. We should live each day as though Christ's return could at any monent. I pray you are right with God and are anxiously awaiting Jesus final victory and reward for believers. 55min
2 Peter 3a Jesus Second Coming
Pastor Nelson
2 Peter 3:1-7
Loading the player...
Description
2 Peter 3:1-7 The day of the Lord is soon coming, do you believe it? As we discussed wholesome thinking and the refreshing of your memory, we need to talk a little bit about "pure reason" which is an uncontaminated by senses or a motion. Point number 1:we must remember God's word is our sure foundation. Point number 2: one mocker scoff at the idea of Christ's soon return, they have ignored the fact that God created the universe and will judge it. Point number 3:1 scoffers mocked at the promise of Christ's coming, is because they willfully ignore God's word about of future judgment. We have not yet seen Lucifer's power, signs and lying wonders and the great delusional lie that will cover the earth. Calvin: "you cannot take away the promise of Christ's return without destroying the very core of the gospel." The earth then sinners are reserved for fire. 57min
2 Peter 2d Deceptions of False Teachers
Pastor Nelson
2 Peter 2:18-22
Loading the player...
Description
2 Peter 2:18-22 Well, once again Peter is warning us to be very discerning about those we listen to and follow. We need to be fruit inspectors and understand that a little leaven infects the whole loaf. Addressing the question as to whether a person who is saved can lose their salvation is addressed with multiple scriptures. Peter's answer is absolutely not. However, we need to understand that those who don't teach the whole gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit can easily lead astray those who are seeking God's will and eternal life. Empty words sound so good sometimes - but please remember this "the truth is simple". Remember that people are slaves to what ever Masters them. Have you ever considered that you can hurt God when you disobey Him? One last thing, learn to hate the things that are not good for you. 49min
2 Peter 2c For Those Who Lead Astray
Pastor Nelson
2 Peter 2:12-17
Loading the player...
Description
2 Peter 2:12-17 Welcome to another hard message from 2nd Peter. Today we will be talking about pseudo-salvation. And those who lead others into false beliefs and teachings about spiritual matters of which they know very little. I hope you listen closely to Martin Luther's quote from a sermon in 1531 concerning standing against false doctrine and those who would lead you away from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and total trust in the Word of God. As we go through today's verses there are huge lessons to learn and to realize that hell is the blackness of darkness forever. I quickly go over 7 different kinds of false sinful people and teachers that you will know what to watch out for. 56min
2 Peter 2b Judgement & Deliverance
Pastor Nelson
2 Peter 2:4-11
Loading the player...
Description
2 Peter 2:4-11 In today's world there are many who feel like God's judgment of sin will never come. As we study today's text, Peter assures the readers that judgment and rewards will come in God's timing. In the 3 examples shown how God will judge there are many lessons for humanity today. As we get closer and closer to the return of Christ the story of Noah and the flood as well as the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah hold some real clues for us today. When the Bible is speaking about the end times and fallen angels we can relate this also to what is happening on earth today. As we conclude the lesson I will relate some ways to trust God and get through these turbulent times. 61min

Loading the player...
Description
2 Peter 2:1-3 Today's lesson is so vitally important to your eternal well-being! I hate to say it but we are all gullible and subject to believe the lies of Lucifer. Peter spared no words in warning his people against false teachers, and today I will be doing the same. We all must be well-versed in the basic teachings of the Bible, but what happens when minor subtleties start to creep in? I'm going to hit a lot of Bible verses today so have your pen and paper ready; I was surprised and I'm sure you will be to that there are so many Scriptures concerning false teachers. Primary point: Lucifer wants you to doubt the Bible and what Jesus has done for you. This message will help protect you from falling into the trap of lies that can ruin your life. 55min
2 Peter 1d What will be Your Legacy

Description
2 Peter 1:12-21 In today's lesson Peter reminds us to remember the basics of what God has taught us. We need to have confidence in what the Holy Spirit & Jesus the LivingWord of God has done for us by continually meditating on the basics of our faith. Peter, as he faced death, wanted to continually remind people of what Jesus had done for them. Please meditate on this: the life you see all around you every day is not true reality. ( that is a thought provoker for sure ) BUT true reality is God's spiritual world that we cannot quite see yet. But one day we will! I think you will find this message thought-provoking and encouraging. We all must remember the basics of our faith so that we can be strong and have good courage until the end, just like Peter. 55min

2 Peter 1:5-11 Finally, on this, the 3rd try, we get to the 8 rungs of the ladder to success for living in these troubling times. In this message we will discuss faith, moral excellence, knowledge, self-control, patient endurance, godliness, brotherly affection, and love. With these tools God promises us we will never fall away and be welcomed into his eternal kingdom. The question of why some people do fall away is answered. Learning how to walk in newness of life can be accomplished and most certainly will be rewarded. 55min

Revelation 18

Description
Revelation 18 & 2 Thess 2:1-12 Again, in preparation for this message I heard the Lord say very clearly "prepare the people"!! As I mentioned last time, it's not good to argue with God because you will always lose. And HE is the lead teacher of this small body of believers. So, in today's message we are going to try to get through the introduction to 2nd Peter one more time but with a detour of talking about Babylon and its judgment 1st. Why is that important you might say, because I believe we are living in modern-day Babylon and judgment is coming just as the word of God has promised. 62min

Description
2 Peter + Luke21 ***WHAT'S COMING*** today as God sometimes does, the sermon has been changed because HE wants his people to know what is happening in the world right now. We may not want to hear it, we may not want to accept it, but we are living in the last generation. And there is a very important concept that God wants you to learn and use on a daily basis. That is "ASK"! We must have courage, strength, and faith in order to be more than survivors in these troubling times. I pray you will go back and restudy some of these Scriptures for yourselves, and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you personally. 59min

Description
1 Peter 5:6-14 okay folks, another teaching from the Word of God for you in these troubling times. 1st we will address humility. Then we will concentrate on "cast all your cares upon Jesus, for he cares for you". To quote one famous person, worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength. As we talk about our mortal enemy, Satan, he is a roaring lion who is out to utterly destroy you. We need to wake up and STAND FAST in Christ our Lord, our Protector, our Strength, in this spiritual battle that rages on today in everyone's life. Do you know how to resist Satan and his lies? We need to understand that God's care and grace promises to RESTORE, STENGHTEN, ESTABLISH, and SUPPORT YOU. 53min

Description
1 Peter 5:1-5 1st of all I want thank God for putting the words of this message in the mouth of this donkey (look up the Bible story of the donkey that spoke). Because of the large funeral yesterday I did not have time to prepare a message as usual. As I was crying out to God for help in how to approach these 1st verses of 1 Peter 5 it came to me that all the mature Christians within the body of Christ are elders. And we all have the responsibility to further the kingdom of God. At the funeral I met all types of people, each in their various walks with the Lord and some not knowing Christ at all. This message is mostly for believers in Jesus Christ, they need to be encouraged and know what they should do and not do. 56min

Description
1 Peter 4:12-19 Persecution is not something that is alien to the Christian life. It is something we should expect and rejoice in. Have you ever stopped to think you are the temple of God? The world does not persecute "religious people", but it does persecute righteous people. Persecution is the purifying of your faithand the proof that your faith is genuine. Suffering and glory our twin truths. I hope you know that one day God's glory will be revealed in and through us. Peter named for privileges in verses 13 and 14 that encourage us to rejoice in the midst of fiery trials. So how do we do this? 53min

Matt 27:62 - Matt 28:20 EASTER SUNDAY MESSAGE Do you want to know the really short version of the Easter story? Turn to 1 Corinthians 15:3-14. That is the good news of how Christianity started by Christ's resurrection from the grave. As we go into recorded history today you will hear how man can't stop the work of God and his plan for mankind. We must learn to surrender in trust what Jesus has done for us and remember that in a moment everything can change. Over and over again the Word of God tells us do NOT be afraid! Death is not the end, it is the beginning for those who have put their faith in what Jesus Christ did on the cross. With so many witnesses to Jesus resurrection we need to remember that he is with us always, even to the end of the age. 48min

1 Peter 4:1-6 Christ followers are different from the rest of the world. Believers in Jesus need to know that suffering and they exposure to sin is important because it is all about the glory of God and his ultimate purposes.

In this lesson we will talk about what is the will of God, and where is our heart. We will also look forward to the ultimate goal that God has planned for us as believers in Jesus Christ. 50min

1 Peter 3:13-17 I'm sorry that we had no broadcast last week. You cannot imagine the battles that went on, but God was victorious. So in these 4 verses I pray that you will listen closely, and hear what the Holy Spirit has to say to YOU. I'm so sorry that you did not get to hear what I said about Isaiah 8:13-15 at the beginning before I was reminded that the recorder was not turned on. The point was, you should hear only God and fear HIM only for God only will keep you safe! The point was "the fear of the Lord conquers every other fear!" As we started recording were learning how to sanctify Christ as Lord, in our hearts. And only we can harm ourselves, if we fail to trust God totally! The message was that each crisis in our lives becomes an opportunity for growth, witnessing, and blessing. Because Jesus knows our every situation and need, in order to be victorious in life we need to make Jesus Christ LORD our livesand give him total control over everything that is going on in our lives. 52min

1 Peter 2:11-25 This message from the Word of God may not be the easiest one you've ever listened to, but, it is essential. God's grace is getting what we don't deserve .... And God's mercy is not getting what we do deserve! Let that sink in for a moment. The real question is how should we live in response to tribulation and persecution. To get through it all everyone needs a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. AND Christ followers have been called to represent Jesus to others. We are to obey the authorities over us; BUT as Peter put it "whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge". 55min
