The speaker emphasizes that believers must actively engage in spiritual warfare through prayer, fasting, and the renunciation of occult objects or ancestral sins. By claiming the authority of Jesus Christ and cleansing their environment, Christians can overcome demonic influence and experience deliverance. Ultimately, the message urges vigilance and reliance on divine power rather than human effort to maintain spiritual victory.

  Marks of a True Believer 20.08.2026 37m

  The sermon examines the evidences of genuine faith found in the First Epistle of John, emphasizing that true believers exhibit specific marks of grace. It highlights three primary indicators: a sensitivity to sin and ongoing battle against it, a desire to keep God's commandments out of love rather than fear, and a sacrificial love for fellow believers. The preacher argues that these tangible changes distinguish authentic conversion from mere profession or intellectual knowledge. By observing one's attitude toward sin, obedience to Scripture, and relationships within the church, individuals can find assurance of their standing with God. The message concludes that walking in the light involves maintaining peace and love with other Christians, reflecting the character of Christ.

  Ecclesiastes 8: Trusting God When Life Does Not Make Sense 20.08.2026 8m

  Ecclesiastes 8 teaches that wisdom helps us navigate authority, injustice, and the mysteries of life with humility and faith. Dave Jenkins explains why earthly authority is limited, why evil may appear to prosper, and why believers must fear God even when His ways are beyond their understanding. Jesus entered our broken world, suffered injustice, and was crucified, yet through His suffering God accomplished redemption. The cross assures us that even when we cannot see what God is doing, He remains sovereign, wise, and good. Christians can therefore trust the Lord when life feels unfair and answers do not come quickly.

The message stresses the importance of internalizing God's word to manifest mercy and truth in daily conduct. Finally, it issues an urgent call to repentance and faith, urging listeners to accept Christ as Savior while they still have breath.

  The Lord's Prayer (2) 19.08.2026 21m

  Pastor Mark Hogan teaches on the first petition of the Lord's Prayer, "hallowed be your name," from Matthew 6:9, explaining that to hallow means to treat as holy and that God's name represents His being, character, and glory. He clarifies that since God's name is already intrinsically holy, this petition is not adding to His perfection but asking that He enable His name to be universally recognized and reverenced. The message stresses that God's glory must be the primary priority in all prayers, since this petition is for ourselves, the church, and the world, and that the driving motivation for living according to the Sermon on the Mount—mortifying anger, lustful thoughts, and sins—should be to glorify God. He connects this to the Great Commission and evangelism, where the gospel spreads so others will learn to fear and hallow God's name, and to corporate worship, where His praise is declared. The sermon also points to the eschaton, the final day when every knee will bow and God's name will be perfectly hallowed in the new creation. Practical application includes examining our motives in prayer, asking whether we seek healing, forgiveness, or the salvation of children for our own comfort or for God's glory. He concludes that the desire to honor God is proof of the Spirit's work within us, and that this petition is a genuine request for God's action, not just a pious wish.

  God Is Trustworthy: Trust Him With All Your Heart 19.08.2026 10m

  In the final episode of the 52-week Trust in the Lord series, Doreen Virtue considers God's attribute of trustworthiness from Proverbs 3:5–6. After spending decades in New Thought and New Age spirituality, Doreen had to learn from Scripture who God truly is and why He can be trusted. Rather than trusting our own understanding, attempting to control the future, or expecting God to conform to our timing, Christians are called to trust the Lord with all their hearts. Doreen explains how studying God's attributes strengthens our confidence in Him, why His character remains trustworthy even when prayers seem unanswered, and how believers can bring their fears, worries, and uncertainties to their sovereign and faithful God. Even when we cannot understand what God is doing, we can trust who He is. For more from Doreen, please visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/doreen-virtue/

  Obadiah Fearing the Lord 16.08.2026 29m

  When it says that "it came to pass after many days", we are to understand that it was the better part of a year and a half. Elijah had probably been about a year in the wilderness near the Brook Cherith, and probably about another year to a year and a half with the widow of Zarephath. Now the time had come, it says here, for Elijah to go and present himself to Ahab. And so, God gave Elijah this command by a direct revelation to his mind, that he should go and confront wicked Ahab, and then God would send rain on the earth. And so, Elijah went. The famine was severe in Samaria and things were getting quite desperate; especially in terms of water for the cattle. And so, wicked king Ahab called Obadiah, it says in verse 3, to tell him what he wanted him to do. Obadiah was in charge of Ahab's house as a steward. But what is even more significant for our consideration, is the fact which is related to us in the parenthesis in verse 3, where it says – Now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly. It is this statement that I want to focus your attention on, and draw lessons from it. What did this mean, that Obadiah feared the Lord greatly? And, what will it look like for us if we fear the Lord greatly? That is what we want to try and discover. So, 1st of all, we want to see that there are different kinds of the fear of the Lord which are described for us in the Bible. And 2nd – We want to see that there are different degrees of the fear of the Lord among those who really do know the Lord. Let's see if we can grow in our understanding of this vital doctrine, the fear of the Lord.
