#Antichrist
“So this foolish wicked wicked shepherd of Zechariah 11 is the same one written of here in Daniel seemingly. He will initially seem to be a friend in support of Israel, and then he will go against them and become their deadliest enemy by the midpoint of the tribulation, the second three and a half years. As a matter of fact, we're gonna see in a couple chapters from now, so much so that two thirds of them will be killed. Now reviewing all the scripture that speaks about this evil one, we learned that he will be a persuasive speaker, a skilled politician, an economic genius, a military commander, a religious leader, and a prideful self promoter. He will be Satan's instrument of wrath against the Jewish people and any come... Who come to know Christ during that period, during the end time tribulation.”
51s
“For my money, there is not a more accurate description of what the church is up to generally in the world these days and what we're up to, very particularly, as partners in mission at Cross of Grace at this moment in time. They all worshipped, some doubted. I love it when a plan comes together. I mean, I'm glad that we're all here today and that we show up week after week to worship and to learn and serve too. And I'm grateful to be reminded that even with Jesus standing in their very midst, his disciples having done all that he'd promised that he would do, up to and including rising from the dead, Some of them still doubted.”
45s
#FalseShepherd
“So it says, he will not seek the young and their vulnerability like a shepherd, a good shepherd would do. He won't help the... Heal the maimed like a good shepherd. If a sheep would break their bones, they would set them and so forth. It won't even nourish the healthy ones. In other words, the foolish shepherd will not perform the basic duties of a shepherd. But the description goes from neglect to criminal behavior because the false shepherd will go after the sheep seeking to devour them. Instead of caring for and feeding the sheep, he feeds himself on them. And it's so bad that the last touch of the illustration is the wicked shepherd will even tear off the hooves of these sheep with great violence in his devouring frenzy.”
33s
#BiblicalTruth
“And a matter of fact, the Internet, social media, YouTube, AI, they're all tools. And like any tool, they can be used for good or evil. Or you might even say perhaps neutral purposes if there is such a thing. And they're used for all those things. But sadly, there are also too many folks out there putting inaccurate information out there about God and about his word. And there are too many people basing their, all their whole theology and worldviews based on sound bites.”
49s
#EternalLife
“And he is God the Son who came the first time primarily to lay down his life for his sheep. He came to provide reconciliation and a life, life in God to wayward humans who were wandering from God. He died a death that we all deserve for our waywardness and rebellion against our maker. And then he rose from the dead demonstrating that his sacrifice was accepted as the sin to satisfy God's wrath against our sin. He paid the debt so that all who will agree with him, trust in what Jesus did, humble themselves beneath his lordship, will have eternal life. He is the one who delivers from the wrath that is to come.”
34s
#StudyTheBible
“So I'll always say this. Don't take my word for it. Don't just say... Well, don't just take a view, of things just because I'm saying so. Although I do aim to rightly teach the whole counsel of God rightly. Study it for yourself, but also check yourself. If you have some understanding that differs greatly from other mature Christians and bible teachers and historic doctrines of the faith. Take your time. Study it out. Be patient. Be humble.”
44s
#EndTimes
“this foolish shepherd, this antichrist will come, and he'll come to power. He will deceive the world. He'll deceive the Jews who have yet to trust in Christ. He will promise to look out for them. And some may even see him as a Messianic type figure, but he will be a phony messianic figure. He will be a wicked, prideful person who will turn on them, and he will persecute them unto death. But his end is also prophesied when the Lord Jesus returns and destroys him and sends him into eternal torment and establishes then his own messianic reign upon the earth.”
35s
#TestTheSpirits
“So, my friends, we... And and how much more now? So nineteen hundred years later even. So there's so many messages out there, and we, as the people of God, should be discerning. Right? If if somebody that we're encountering, if they're saying things that are about God or about the scripture, about truth or whatever, or what they're saying, is it true? Test the spirits against what? He says we have knowledge. Where's that knowledge come from? It comes from the words of God that are here.”
42s
#ChristianHope
“And we are looking forward to a day where we will live with you in an existence that is free from sin, including our own. We long for that day, and we pray you hasten the day. But until then, Lord, we pray that you use us to be instruments of ambassadors to help others so that they might not perish but have eternal life as well through your son. So help us, Lord, to know the truth, to be quick to wanna share the hope that we have with others for their good and your glory.”
44s
#PrideAndSalvation
“Pride, ultimately. I don't need God. There are so many people... There are some people that they've got everything they need, at least they think they do, immaterial. And so they they they... Their god is their own self sufficiency. Then you have others that have pride in their false religions. They've been deceived by the Satan. And most of those, even perversions of Christianity, it's a pride that you can somehow be good enough. Like, you can you can earn your good standing before God, merit salvation.”
