The Historic Impact of the Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem

by Stand Up For The Truth | Apr 5, 2020 | Bible Prophecy, Christianity, Teaching | 0 |

The world was changed when Jesus entered Jerusalem on His way to the cross, fulfilling prophecies and impacting history. Mani text: John chapter 12; 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, Zechariah 9:9-10, Psalm 118:21-26, Revelation 7:9-10. Sermon by David Fiorazo

Jude: Contend for the Faith, Expose False Teachers

by David Fiorazo | Feb 12, 2020 | American Church, Christianity, Emergent Church, Teaching | 0 |

The book of Jude is yet another warning for today’s Christian church. We must know the truth and learn from biblical hjistory! Deceivers and false teachers have infiltrated the ranks and are leading many astray.

Early church leaders were concerned about false teachings and rightly so. There’s nothing new under the sun as today, many have accepted unbiblical ideas or teachings because on the surface they might sound good. Few understand the underlying and ongoing war against the Truth.

Messianic Prophecies and the Master Plan of God

by Stand Up For The Truth | Dec 24, 2019 | Apologetics, Bible Prophecy, Christianity, Podcast, Teaching | 0 |

The Bible tells us that long before the world began, God orchestrated a masterful plan to reconcile sinners to a holy, loving God. Through history, He provided a road map as He foretold various signs and specific conditions by which the Messiah would arrive to save mankind. His prophets spoke of things to watch for so the Messiah would be recognized and believed.

Before the world began, He knew that Jesus would come to earth and give Himself as a holy and final offering for sin; once and for all. A baby born of a virgin in a manger would become the Lamb of God. To those who trust in Him and obey His commandments, God has promised a fulfillment to our hope in Christ: He is returning soon, and we will be in His presence for eternity.

Pastor Mike Abendroth: Bring All Things Back to the Word of Truth

by Stand Up For The Truth | Dec 10, 2019 | Christian Growth, Gospel, Pastor's Perspective, Podcast, Teaching | 0 |

Today’s discussion is centered around the importance of context when reading and applying Scripture. Context is a safeguard for us, and will prevent us from reading our preferences into the text or ‘Americanizing’ hand-picked Bible verses.

It all comes back to God’s Word. This is our foundation built on the solid rock of Jesus Christ, the Cornerstone. No matter how much the world and culture change; Jesus Christ is the same and God never changes! We must guard against the lies of the enemy and stop allowing cultural trends and false teachings to influence the church.

Pastor Andy Woods: What is ‘Kingdom Now’ Theology

by Stand Up For The Truth | Nov 21, 2019 | Christianity, Podcast, Social Justice, Teaching, Theology | 0 |

Since it’s important to address subtle deceptions in the church (and some not so subtle), we’re going a bit deeper today to tackle a teaching that affects what Christians believe about the kingdom of God. But many do not realize it. A few questions we’ll answer are: If the kingdom of Jesus Christ is coming soon, what do we do with our time here on earth in terms of working for the Lord’s purposes? And what exactly is ‘Kingdom Now’ theology?

Study on ‘Discipline of the Mind and Devotion’

by Stand Up For The Truth | Oct 8, 2019 | Christian Growth, Entertainment, Gospel, Spiritual Warfare, Teaching | 0 |

It takes time, commitment, and discipline to train our flesh and mature in Christ, and one of the most important disciplines is investing in God’s Word. Growth in personal holiness is determined by our progress in self-discipline.

Victory always comes at a price. The effective Christian life demands we exercise self-discipline in areas like food, drink, sleep, our speech, family priorities, work, leisure, time management, and money. We must exercise self-control and restrict our liberties in whatever would hinder us from winning the prize.

The Great Tribulation & Return of Christ: Matthew 24

by Stand Up For The Truth | Oct 6, 2019 | Christianity, Gospel, Persecution, Teaching | 1 |

Three times in this sermon alone, Jesus mentions false teachers will deceive “many.” Also, the utter destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem was a prophecy, not a “sign,” it was a judgment of God on the Jewish people for rejecting the Messiah. Persecution often reveals traitors within the Church as well as enemies outside, and the test of any age is endurance. Those who endure to the end will be saved and the gospel must first be preached as a witness to the nations, then comes the end.

God’s Ways Are Above Ours: What’s the Price of Redemption?

by David Fiorazo | Oct 2, 2019 | Christian Growth, Discipleship, Gospel, Teaching | 0 |

Is there anything in your life too good to give Jesus? Is there any sacrifice too great? Is there something you’ve been holding back when you could have done it – or given it to Him?

In Matthew 26, the stage is set and the players are all in place for the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus, and His time on earth is drawing to a close.

What Would Jesus Say to Christians in America Today?

If Jesus rebuked many of the early churches for straying, leaving their first love, putting up...

So, voter ID is racist, but vaccine passports are constitutional? Show your papers, please!

Did you hear about the new vaccine bracelet being sold? That’s right. You can wear it in public so people will know that you’re safe to be around. I wish I were joking.
