Isaiah lived in dark days when his nation was filled with wicked people and Judah had been decimated by enemies. Yet the people would not repent as Isaiah preached. Our own nation parallels this sad state today. Where is our hope? It is in the Lord and i n the truth of the remnant.
The world thinks that only fools believe in the reality of Satan, but the Bible is very plain - the devil is real and he is the Christian's chief enemy.
With the help of John Calvin and Pastor Nathan Busenitz, we are going to see how the rebellion at the Tower of Babel continues today, and a chief example is seen in the quest for immortality and fame through Artificial Intelligence.
God never changes, and therefore His Word never changes. We must be wise and reject the "new" which false teachers present to lead us away from Christ.
We continue in the Hungering and Thirsting for God's Word series by turning to 1 Cor 13 as an example of how important it is to know the truth of the Word. A local church can have all appearances of being a true church, blessed by God, and we as a small church can become envious of others who seem to have more success. But, as we shall see in this sermon, outward appearances are deceiving.
We particularly examine two key parts of the Christian's armor - the shield and the sword.
Many - not just a few - many false teachers are in the world and creeping into the church. It is, therefore, our duty to test all teachers and teachings by the Word of God. Too many professing Christians are careless in their study and hearing of their Bible and thus are dupes for Satan's counterfeits and lies.
It is from the Word of God that we learn to worship Him and this worship is to be in Spirit, in the fear of the Lord. Nadab and Abihu did not minister to Him in this reverential fear. They were careless and they were consumed by fire.
