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
John 18b The Start of 6 Trials
Pastor Nelson
John 18:15-40
Loading the player...
Description
John 18:15-40 We have lots to cover today. In understanding the six trials of Jesus; three Roman and three Jewish, there is much to be learned and studied. I will be hitting some of the high points but hopefully you will take the two handouts that I have now given you and study the different Scriptures concerning the culmination of Jesus' life. There are so many minute details that relate to the Old Testament as well as the things that have already happened in the New Testament that there is not time to go into them all. I pray that as you study the four Gospels and other related Scriptures that the Holy Spirit will lay on your heart that this period of Jesus life will become an inspiration and encouragement to you. Understanding Jesus love for Peter, even though he has messed up repeatedly is such a wonderful promise to how our God loves us also. But why did this innocent man (Jesus) have to die? We need to understand it was God's plan from before the beginning of time, because man needs a Savior. 48min.
Romans - Grace is Sufficient

Romans + others

Description
Today's lesson is a summary of some of the things we have already learned in Romans. I know for a fact, if you are like me,, it is hard to remember the sermons that have been long past. Maybe, there is a pointer or two that you do remember, but there is one big overpowering concept that needs to be recalled at this point in time. It has to do with God's GRACE and what we understand about it, and what we do with it. Prayerfully today the lesson will help you to reflect personally on how God's grace has impacted your life. We all need to have gratitude, and amazement about how God loves us. Just maybe, this teaching today, will help you reflect on God's love for YOU! 53min
Luke 9d Ministering to All
Pastor Nelson
Luke 9:51-56
Loading the player...
Description
Luke 9:51-56. Jesus has set His face toward Jerusalem and His goal of setting all of mankind free from their punishment for sin (if they will accept His payment). As we look at John 4:5-26 the Samaritan woman at the well we see how Jesus is pulling down cultural barriers & predigest. He is willing to see everyone as they really are & Jesus loves them anyway. 39min
Mathew 5a The Beatitudes
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 5:1-12
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 5:1-12 For me the next several Sundays are going to be exciting to review with you. Because Jesus is laying out very clearly what the kingdom of God is all about, and how we should conduct ourselves. The people at heard these blessed words were a lot like us. They had trials and frustrations that have always been common to man. So if we listen to Jesus's words and realize this is what God would like us to learn and follow it will be a very profitable time for all of us. In this first short section there are promises that we need to understand and hang onto. I pray you will write down some notes as the Holy Spirit brings some precious thoughts into your mind. 45min
John 1h Jesus Gets His 1st 5 Disciples
Pastor Nelson
John 1:39-51
Loading the player...
Description
John 1:39-51 As we read how Jesus gets his first 5 disciples, there are some interesting lessons to be learned. However, we are going to start today's lesson with week 25 and 26 Bible verses. Jude 24 & 25, and 1John 4:9-10. In looking at our 52 Bible verses for the year, sometimes these fall in line with our Scripture studies in the Gospel of John and sometimes they don't. But I do believe they have value in our growth. Anyway, there are some subtle lessons from John's Gospel that we need to pick up today. The big question for the day is: who do you think Jesus is? How closely are you following him? Is your relationship with Him a first priority in life? In this day and age it is hard to imagine these 5 men dropped everything to follow Jesus immediately. Jesus is still saying "come, follow me - you will see greater things than these". Are you willing? 39min PS I have a fantastic, thought-provoking, 7 page article on how amazing & transforming God's GRACE is. It was written by David Bryant a pastor and Christ proclaimer for over the 40 years now. I have read it at least 8 times & each time it has a greater impact on me. Please let me know if you would like a copy of this great paper about GRACE G=God's R=Revolution A=Achieved by C=Christ E=Exalted It could change your life!
Luke 6c Beatitudes & Perfect Love
Pastor Nelson
Luke 6:24-43
Loading the player...
Description
Luke 6:24-42 finishing the Beatitudes Jesus goes directly into the 6 elements of what perfect love looks like. As said in John 7:46 "no one has ever spoken like this". Jesus has shown what is in our hearts & now is saying this is how you should live. We see the word Christian used & Jesus tells us about love, doing good, lending, & judging our selves & others. Jam 1:2-4,1Pet 4:12-16, Jn 15:9-16:4, Mat:5-11-16, Mark 8:34-38, Mat 7:1-6, Lev 19:15, Jn:7:24, 1Thess 5:21, 1Cor 6:2,3,5 & 28, 31-38, Jam 2:12-13. 49min

Matthew 9:9

Description
Matthew 9:9 Today's recording is really short because we spent so much time on current event happenings. If you're not joining us on Sunday mornings you are really missing out on a lot of prophecy updates and vital information. A lot of the recording today is our communion presentation. In explaining the one verse I give a personal story about when I at first disobeyed the Lord's request to witness, and then came around and did what I should have to start with. Also told a story about painting an old white country church. 27min
2 John 1a Truth Love & False Teachers
Pastor Nelson
2 John v1-13
Loading the player...
Description
2 John v1-13 WOW I can't believe it! I got through a whole book of the Bible in one sermon! Seriously, in these few short versus there are lots of lessons to be learned. You will note as you listen that we refer back to the Gospel of John a lot. That is because the Apostle John is reminding his people what he had taught them in the past. We need to understand that the good news of the gospel has not changed, the truth of God will last forever. You need to understand that even back then false teachers were perverting the truths of God's Word. Things in this world have not changed much, but we need to learn from this small letter to the believers who lived back then. 45min
Matthew 13d Hidden Treasure, Pearls, & a Dragnet
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 13:44-50
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 13:44-50 In our lesson today, we are going to look at three interconnected parables, All related to the kingdom of heaven. Some key questions are going to be answered about the Christian life and what makes YOU and the kingdom of heaven so valuable. As Jesus is using every day things that help explain the spiritual, hopefully anyone who has ears to hear can pick up on the deeper meanings. I pray you remember the example of the Pearl, because as we look at that part of the Scripture we can see how Jesus Christ is changing our lives and we are becoming something of great value. I believe Ephesians 2:1-10 helps bring out even greater meaning to today's teaching. 45min

Description
John 15:18 - Jn 16:4 Today we have another hard lesson from Jesus. Who you are as a Christian is at least in part going to determine what the world thinks of you. Jesus has said the world hated him therefore it will hate His followers. Are you prepared for this? And more importantly, is your life emanating enough of Jesus where the world recognizes you as different? In this lesson, it will become clear that friendship with the world is hatred toward God. I don't know if you have ever thought about this, but we are called to be something other than worldly. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, our faith and trust in God's word, and our determination to love one another we can become purveyors of light. So how is your Christian walk? For some this lesson will be an encouragement; for others it may bring a challenge. 45min
John 1b About John the Baptist
Pastor Nelson
John 1:6-13
Loading the player...
Description
John 1:6-13 In our lesson for today, we will see John the Baptist declaring Jesus of Nazareth as God's true light. John was a man sent from God. Jesus was the light & John was the lamp that bore witness to the light. All men have had God's light revealed to them, but there is an individual choice to make. We will look at other scriptures from John, Romans, Ephesians, 2nd Corinthians, and Titus that will shed some more "light" on the subject. A lot is packed into these few verses. 49min
Romans 8b God's Glory Is Coming
Pastor Nelson
Romans 8:18-25
Loading the player...
Description
Romans 8:18-25 My study for this week took me to so many different places in the Scriptures. The handout is four pages long, but as you will note in the sermon I never got past the first page. Being in the middle of this COBIT 19 pandemic, it has been a very interesting experience. I have been seeing the magnification of evil plans and evil people beyond my wildest dreams. BUT at the same time I am seeing so many prophecies fulfilled, and God's love poured out in so many ways that it is just extremely exciting to see how much God loves each of us! As Christ's return draws nearer I pray you are drawing nearer to Christ. His promises of what is to come is worth whatever we must go through. Be encouraged and keep looking up. 47min

Various NT & OT

Description
As we end 2021 and march into 2022, we need to look at both the world around us AND encouraging Scriptures. We cannot ignore what has happened during this last year. Yet in the middle of all that is happening right now we must remain confident that God is in control and will take care of His people during these very trying times. Therefore, I am including multiple verses that you need to write down, and placed deep within your heart and consciousness as we face 2022. During this message we also had communion and even though I didn't get to present all the material I had on the why's of communion; it is a time to remember and praise God for what Christ did for us. 54min
Matthew 19a About Marriage and Divorce
Pastor Noslen
Matthew 19:1-10
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 19:1-10 In our study of Matthew 19, the topic of marriage and divorce comes up with some guides for today. When Jesus was teaching the Pharisees He concentrated more on what marriage should be all about rather than the topic of divorce. When we go back to Genesis chapter 1 and God was creating man and woman there are some lessons here that we may miss if were not careful. God knew that because man's heart is desperately wicked, that sin would corrupt His plan for what marriage was originally to be. I pray there will be memorable hints and suggestions of how we need to understand and treat marriage and divorce. 48min

Am. History

Description
Pastor Hayden Porter presents few short biblical facts. And then a short history of what happened during Christmas 1776 and the fight for freedom for our nation. Gen. George Washington (one of our greatest ever generals) because of his faith in God and dedication to the purpose of "freedom for all" fought a fight that we should never forget. I'm sure many prayers were said by all in those days. God's ultimate will ultimately prevailed (after many miracles) to create a new nation under God, and our understanding HIS precepts that helped form the very fabric of this nation. 22min
