I Think I Have Proof That Mormonism Is Not True
This is not just conjecture. We have actual evidence that Joseph Smith was lying to Mormons when he invented his new "scripture," the Book of Abraham. This is proof that Mormonism is not true. The book of Abraham was not translated, it was fabricated. Here is the evidence. Share this video so that more people can be set free from the tangled lies of Joseph Smith. Mormons are the victims of Mormonism and we can show them love by showing them the truth so they can put faith in Jesus for real. LINK

If Only Christians Would Act Like This! Romans 12:12-21
Romans 12 gives us a SUCH a character challenge that I find myself saying "If only Christians would act like this". But the more important question I need to ask myself is, "am I acting like this". Let's take a moment to get the plank out of our own eye in this verse by verse study of Romans 12:12-21. We will tackle all the major issues head on and be reminded of the kind of person Jesus exampled for us and the kind of person we are called to be. I hope and pray this motivates you powerfully a

How the Gifts of the Spirit Function in the Church: Romans 12:7-8
We look today at the gifts of teaching, exhortation, giving, mercy, leading and serving. To get a more biblical philosophy of the church. To understand how the gifts of the Spirit are to operate in a local fellowship of Christians. What astounds me as we look into Romans 12 is the universality of the gifts of the Spirit and the call to all of us to do our part in a godly way. This means that many believers today should probably be more involved in using these gifts than they already are. The pas

Becoming a More Biblical Church: Romans 12:3-6
Toward becoming more biblical about the gift of prophecy, humility and church in general. Often the debate is over whether the gifts are valid today and we stop short of asking, "but what does the Bible say about how they are to be practiced?" This results in some reckless attitudes toward things like the gift of prophecy. Although this message deals with humility and unity I really think some important and needful points are made regarding prophecy. This is info that our churches need today. I

To God Be The Glory: Romans 11:33-36
A study of a humbling and healing worship passage in Romans. This song is beautiful in how it is the overflow of theology into worship. As we study it we learn how to humbly trust in God’s goodness, knowledge and wisdom.

What specific Old Testament prophecies about Israel are yet to be fulfilled? What expectations does the New Testament have for the future of national Israel?

What Is God's Plan for ISRAEL: Romans 11:7-24
This will require some thinking on your part. We are trying to get a careful, biblical and thoughtful understanding of God's plan for Israel as revealed in the Bible and in Romans 11 in particular. We need a biblical and balanced view of Israel. Romans 11 gives us just this. We see the fact that Israel rejected the Messiah. We see why they didn’t believe. We see that this failure is not universal. And we see that there is a glorious hope for their future! When you understand God’s gracious pla

God has NOT forsaken Israel: Romans 11:1-6

Not only does this truth give hope for Israel, it gives us courage and hope in God's patient love for all who come to Him through the grace of Christ. In this study we will also take a look at 1
