Jeff, thank you so much for the introduction where you encourage people to be part of the local church. This is where so many 'online preachers' fall short in my opinion (unintentionally). God's intention was always to have a local group of people He has called for His glory.
This has aged so well and is even more true today than it was when it was posted. Thank you for your note at the beginning about getting plugged into a local church, I wish everyone did that - they don’t usually and I used it as a tool to avoid community for years
Powerful message! Thank you Jeff... I have got to stop reading the comments. I’ll never understand why anyone will come to a message like this and just be angry and try to cut you. Wait, I do know why.... pray for them that they will turn to our lord Jesus for repentance.
Thank you Jeff I desperately needed this message to truly change my sinful and rebellious heart. I will stay to the word and ONLY the word, but while sticking ever so close to my church as well.
Thank you for your words of encouragement. I live in northeast Thailand but originally from northern California. Thank you and Blessings to your ministry. I so love all of you at Apologia Studios!
Spent a lot of time justifying drunkenness (which often leads to other sins), telling myself alcohol is okay so why not? Yet I had zero self-control with it, telling myself I won’t drink so much next time. Relying on myself, thinking I could control it anytime I want. Worst period of my life. I loved drinking. How could I be saved if I loved it? I fell off completely. Avoiding conviction and conscience and church and Bible because I didn’t want to face it and be confronted. Don't quite know what to think of myself now.
Dan wow, this is me right now... i wonder how you are doing today, i hope better than i am, our God’s grace and long suffering is something we can’t fully comprehend..
Chris Pratt in the latest avenger movie, when asked “who is your lord?” responded with “What, am I supposed to say Jesus Christ?” I’m not sure what exactly to make of it, but I left the movie feeling sick to my stomach, like he sold out his actual Lord for money and fame. God is not mocked.
Saving knowledge and the power of the Holy Ghost Jeff is the only way to overcome sin. As Paul grew in Jesus Christ and he conquered. Be careful in your preaching because God's spirit will not rest on your words if you don't come under full knowledge of the cross. If you preach sin trust in the Lord that he will send the Holy Ghost to be presence. Most believers of the gospel come into salvation and don't understand what has take place in their lives. It is no longer them who lives but it is Christ in them by the Spirit who has given them power not to sin. Love for God must come from God. Remember the simplicity of the Gospel it was not Jesus's will to save humanity but his Father's. Jesus is nothing more than the lamb of God submitting to the will of the Father. So anyone who is really seeking deliverance from pornography or any sin should focus total on Jesus Christ and the cross. Radical ideas of getting rid of sin in scripture is only there to show us the reality of sin its danger to us but God does not leave there. Jesus Christ will clean us and the Holy Spirit will renew us so we won't live after the flesh. Remember the letter killeth but the Spirit of God give us Life. WE MUST HAVE BOTH WORKING IN OUR MIDST. God loves his creation and is the God who looks after it in its fullness. Jesus Christ is not religion he is eternal life. Praise be to God through his Son the only way. The kingdom of God is Now!!!!
It would be interesting to see Pastor Her interview Russell Brand. A new age gibbering old associate of mine recomended I listen to his "truths" on religeon, Jesus and Christianity in general. Apparently he's influenced some Christian's to "think outside the box" of our "boxed in little Church worlds", he also unfoundly "preaches" Yeshua is in fact an amalgam of gentle philosophies of different characters moulded in to one. The conversation would be fascinating to watch, not just to hear Russell's retort but also to witness to the new age stalwarts that what this so called "new age of enlightenment" is in fact an old age deception.
It is somewhat mindblowing how you keep referring to hell as kehena, bc that is the local nude beach which is really the gates of hell in the pilau hedonistic sunday rituals that take place there. Just lost another swimmer there the other week.
Amen brother. Water and the Spirit are always related to each other as well (Jesus offering living water, never thirst again, water and blood from Jesus' side, etc...). Maybe in the separation from God in hell people would desire even a drop of God's spirit? Loved your "hello angel victory dance" haha. Also, I deeply respect the prologue message you gave. Good sermon. God bless your ministry!
Apology Studios Jeff!!! I need help someone I love and admire dearly has picked up the LGBTQ cause and starting advocating this message I have my own sins...but I have tried very hard to model my life after the word and the Lord Jesus Christ. I feel we in spiritual war and everywhere I turn our Christian warriors are falling prey to watered down gospels ,false teachings and the ways of the world. I love and respect you guys dearly and consider you my brothers and sisters. How do dismantle this problem with the word and remain completely true to all aspects of the Lord? Joshua
I love what he’s saying about the “fire and brimstone preacher” that didn’t want his hearers to go there! But frankly I’m bewildered considering it comes from a man that believes Jesus wants most to go there. I really don’t get it.
I think your understanding of Jesus's want is scewed. The only reference we even have of Jesus claiming to want something was to do the will of his Father. But I think what youre driving at is that you think Jesus is only satisfied when sinners have been condemned. And in that you are only half right. You might be interested in studying through Romans. It sounds as if you blame Jesus for sending people to hell (judgment.) If youre really stuck on blame, you could blame Adam because he represented us and fathered us into sin. But if you think that you could've represented yourself better than adam in the garden then you really need to consider the pride in that thought. God demands justice for sin. He gives grace to those who beleive and justice to the rest. God is never unjust. And if we beleive in him it is because of his vast grace. Not our desires, but rather ones that he gives us.
Tyler White If Calvinism’s understanding of God’s sovereignty is true, He desires most to be damned and created them for that purpose without recourse.
What if i trust in Christ, I confess Him as LORD, and I feel He is drawing me to the Catholic Church? I'm in the book of life regardless at this point, aren't I?
First off, (I'm being sincere) is this a real question about you or just a hypothetical one? Second let me just say no man can say wether your name is in the book of Life, only God knows and you would know too if you have assurance as a believer.
The Campbellite churches of Christ (Thomas and Alexander Campbell, founders) came out of the restoration movement, along with the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses. Another branch of Church of Christ is Christian Church (you'll recognize the congregation by their logo of a chalis and cross). From my experience, having grown up and lived with their followers, is that is a works salvation denomination. Although each congregation is autonomous, they typically believe one absolutely must be baptized by immersion and by a CoC minister as a requisite of salvation. One problem with this is that neither of the Campbell brothers was baptised in that manner. They also do not permit musical instruments as part of worship services, so all singing is acapella. But as I say, each congregation is autonomous. So on one place you have Rev Jeremiah Wright's hate-filled Black only church, and another place (mom's city of residresidence) the CoC condones, accepts, and applauds the pastor's son's homosexuality and the daughter's use of and addiction to elicit drugs and lesbianism. Both claim to be founded on what the Bible says, which to me seems like an error in transmission. Best thing: stay clear of any church coming out of the restoration movement.
Hey Michael. To know you're lost is such a good place to be - Many think that they are saved when in reality they are not. What you need to do to be saved is... nothing (in the sense of trying to save yourself). You cannot save yourself. That is the REASON why Jesus came - "To seek and to save the lost" (Lk 19:10). He obeyed the Law perfectly for sinners, died the death that you deserved, rose from the dead and did what you could never do. So what you must do is come to Christ and He will save you. "Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Rom 10:13). Repent of your sins and believe in Christ and He will save you.
I WISH MY CHURCH USED ME OR INCLUDED ME IN ANYTHING BESIDES JUST SITTING THERE EVERY SUNDAY AND MAYBE WEDNESDAY. MAYBE GAVE ME ADVICE ON HOW TO DO ANYTHING MINISTRY RELATED. OH HMM OR EVEN BE READILY AVAILABLE TO TALK. OR WILLING EVEN. I
So if a saved/ forgiven believer in christ stumbles and causes someone to sin.. but then repents.. do they still escape the milestone analogy? What if we as believers unknowingly cause someone to sin? So believing christ died for my sins and being saved by faith isn't covering this issue?? I feel like this is impossible.. 😭
aww man ive been struggling with the sin of lust over women.. been trying to fight it for years.. i dont do it all the time because i try staying away as best i can but in the weak times like once a month or every two months its like a fall weak.. Im single though so maybe getting married will help me. I did fall into fornication once because of netflix and chill, i was definitely not planning to fall or to fornicate but the girl was more wild than i thought and i put myself in that situation but couldnt run like joseph did.. I left her though because she didnt want to make things right and she wanted to continue to have sex. i grieve because of these sins, i know im forgiven but definitely do not want to make others stumble smh.. sigh. thanks for the Word Jeff
Victor Rene The more time you spend in The Bible, the more it will keep you away from sin. The more time you spend with sin, the more it will take you away from The Bible. I struggle to, I get it. Put it in Jesus's hands And dig deep into his word. Constantly
Dead Kenny I mean the unhealthy lust from porn and just lusting after any women on the street with the eyes. Jesus said when we lust after a women we commit adultery in the heart. Sex is a gift from God and its great but within Gods boundaries and that is marriage, any other way creates a lot of problems.. I have suffered from it in being in fornication with women.
Matthew 8:1-9 ECV 1 At that moment in time came the disciples of Jesus to inquire, “Who then shall the greatest be among men in the spiritual kingdom of the heavenly realms?” 2 And so, he called together the children, stood himself in among them, 3 and said, “Truly I say to you, If not willing to return, for an absolute to become as it was as a child, no way possible is there to gain entrance into the spiritual kingdom of the heavenly realms. 4 “Whoever then is willing to suffer humiliation in himself, as does a child, this is the one who is the greatest in the spiritual kingdom of the heavenly realms. 5 “And he who will except a child of such a kind, one with the name and reputation of mine, me personally excepts. 6 “Who then should ever cause to sin one of the least intelligent of such as this, one with absolute trust in me, far better for him if there were hang a mill stone around his neck, and he then submerged in the depths of the sea. 7 “Woe to the world because of the pretense of good that hides an intent to do evil to those less intelligent! It being necessary therefore, this evolution of darkness, this knowledge of good and evil mixed, to show the harm in it. Otherwise how would man know what harm was, or the reason not to do it? But woe to the man through whom the enrichment upon the misery of those less intelligent comes! 8 “If then a hand of yours, or a foot of yours, brings the guilt of sin upon you, cut loose from it, surely throw it far away from you. More good and noble for you is it to enter into the permanent existence crippled or lame, then to have both hands plus both feet and be thrown into the fire that cremates a man into nothing, into nonexistence, the one that is eternal. 9 “And If an eye of yours creates the root cause of all sin, an envious desire within you, tear out by the roots all of it, and expel it from the sight of you. More good and noble for you is it with only one eye into the permanent existence to enter, then with both eyes be thrown into the cremation that causes nonexistence, that eternal fire.
EXODUS 6 : 3 , ISAIAH 12 : 2 , ISAIAH 26 : 4 , PSALMS 83 : 18 .. THE SUPREME GOD OF THE UNIVERSE IS ..( JEHOVAH ) AND HIS SON , JOHN 17 : 3 , JOHN 20 : 17 ... IS JESUS ...
Does having premarital sex keep a believer from entering heaven or is this secondary? I think I know the hard answer. It’s whether or not it is my place to tell another believer(family member) who knows already this is not right behavior in the site of God, that they should stop.
I was in The military airborne when I decided to follow Jesus ✝️ I’ve been Born Again From Above 🕊since 1984 I would Not recommend Anyone to join any armed force. Jesus is The King & His Kingdom is a Royal Priesthood The Holy Nation. You got pent up energy fight against evil in The Spiritual realm! Not against flesh and blood. Love God & people (everyone). 🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏🏿 Diplomacy not war.
Zachary Bauer believes that the mosaic covenant was renacted with Christ replacing the statutes involving the temple, as Jesus new it would be destroyed. Couldn't be further from the truth. He is everything Paul preached against.
Reading the heading it assumes that sin is something we have to deal with ourselves. For example to "die to self", "surrender", "obedient"... But those doctrines are from Buddhism and has nothing to do with true Christianity. This is something that came in by Jesuits. We are not the ones who are dealing with our sins, God does, and He did it 2000 years ago. Buddhists put their sins to death and struggle in order to be a better person, Christians believe that there are already dead and if we are already dead then dead man cannot sin. So there is a big difference between Oriental doctrine "die to self" and Christian doctrine "you are already dead with Christ", one is suggesting us to DO something, other is suggestion us to BELIEVE something. So I am not bothering to watch this hour video session because 99% of mainstream Christianity teaches that Oriental false doctrine that we have to put our sin to death. If this is something that we must do, then we must perform another part of the equation which is "to get resurrected with Christ". How do you perform that resurrection? How do you perform that "being with Christ at the right hand of God in heavenly places"? This is not something you can DO, but BELIEVE, because the same theme that describes "we are dead with Christ" describes also "we are seated with Him at the heavenly places". So cut that crap "dying to self" false Satanic doctrine and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, who died and you with him, and resurrected, and you with him, which is not a present act but something that happened 2000 years ago. I am dead as Christ is, I am resurrected as Christ is, and I am dead to sin because dead man cannot sin.
fastjoe - Priorities and values, brother. If value your relationship with God and His Bride, then you will order your life around that center point. Priorities and values
bob polo I think we should have people who are on the road Holy Spirit-filled.... teaching praying obeying God's word... there is a lot of lost Truckers
Zach Waddill sorry i tought you we're an athiest. You're right we're saved by Jesus's blood only but if you're saved you should have fruits if you claim you're saved but never transform or if you're still slave to sin you're not really saved, I know we sin some times I'm talking living in sin...faith without works is dead as the bible says
cm punk ; If I am saved I have no means of sinning, Ephesians 2:8-15, romans 4:15, 1john 3:5. Romans 12:16-17, 1 peter 2:12, 1 corinthians 9:20;That should clarify every consession ever spoken by way of morality.
Them Messianic Jews doan mess around with sin...they name it for what it is and give ya th'Scripture to back up what you can expect to get if ya keep wallerin' in it...
I’m interested to know something here. It sounds like what Jeff is saying here is that a Godly preacher will preach the reality of sin and the danger of hell, yet preaching with earnest compassion to keep people from hell. Yet if this is Godly, is God Himself divided, on hand displaying earnest compassion to keep people from hell, yet on the other allowing those passed over from election to continue on their path to hell unhindered? Is God unwilling or simply unable to regenerate all? If He is unable then He is less than sovereign. If He is unwilling He has less compassion than a preacher having the qualities desired by compassionate Christians. I suspect this systematic has some serious flaws.
The divine paradox is that Scripture clearly teaches that God chooses who will be saved but Scripture also teaches that God commands every man to repent. My conclusion is that He chooses the believers but I don't know how He works it out.
bob polo This isn’t a paradox; it’s actually quite logical. God chooses who will be saved and He tells us who will be saved - all those who believe. This is why we are commanded to repent and believe; God is love and in His love He desires that all be saved. Because He has chosen to save those who believe in Jesus, it’s quite logical that a loving God would command us to believe.
bob polo 1 John 3:23. Jesus issues two commandments that encompass all the law and prophets. The first is to love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. If you believe that Jesus is indeed God, then this first command goes further then even simply believing Jesus, it includes loving Him, trusting Him, honouring Him, obeying Him. The second commandment is to love neighbour as self. In loving out neighbour, loving each other, then we can be considered friends of Jesus. John 15:11-13. By loving neighbour as self we are acting in belief in Jesus. Again this command encompasses believing in Jesus.
jay - Those commandments presuppose belief, but they don't command belief. What's your theology when it comes to anthropology? Are we half way fallen creatures or has sin completely wrecked our entire being?
Whitefield was an arminian and established methodism, preaching Christian perfectionism and that one could fall out of the grace of God. People flocked to him because he tickled their ears. He’s a poor example. Spurgeon would have been a better one.
Yuk, reformed theology! U mean tulip? U mean dispensationalism? U mean sitting with McArthur, and Piper, at the feast, while watching those who weren't pre-elect burning in hell? Yuk U mean no personal relationship with Holy Spirit? U mean God doesn't talk to u? Also? Obviously intellectually based, to what extreme? Do you worship the Bible? Do u require beards for elders or something?
also the greatest commandment is the shema or 1 commandment. almost every Christian believe god is a trinity and worship a man as though he is god. that is blasphemy
The trinity teaches that there is one God. There is one God. There are three persons in the Godhead. Father, Son and Holy Spirit Each person is God. The only way to get rid of the trinity is to get rid of the Bible. You are not a Christian if you do not believe in the trinity. You have a different god. The core teaching of Christianity is the belief in a triune God. God bless you!
Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name (singular) of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, How do you baptize people? In the name of one God and two creatures? Isaiah 48:16 “Come near to Me, listen to this: From the first I have not spoken in secret, From the time it took place, I was there. And now the Lord God has sent Me, and His Spirit.” Biblical doctrine is not based on one verse. That would be disastrous. It is based on the whole of Scripture.
Faye Lewis well you know in Isaiah 48 16 the father is speaking right? john 17 1-3 jesus himself calls the father the one true god. and just because you baptize someone in someone else's name does not make that person god. john 4 24 says god is spirit. luke 24 39 jesus says a spirit does nat have flesh and bones as he has. god is spirit jesus is flesh. therefore jesus is not god. malachi 3 6. says I am god and I do not change hosea 11 9 god says I am god and not a man. god says he does not change and god says he is not a man. therefore god would not and could not change into a man cause that would make him a liar. hebrews 5 5 is speaking of the day of Jesus's resurrection read that and you will also see jesus did not pre exist his birth.
Look at these two different sets of scripture, then you will see that Jesus was God and that the Trinity believers and Jahovah witnesses are dead wrong. ✝️Phillippians 2:5-11 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. ✝️Exodus 20:1-7 1 And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Remembering 1992 God is not 3 in one, he's not ice, steam and liquid, that is the devil whispering in your ear. This is the very reason why people do not believe the new testament GOSPEL. Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Meaning the name Yeshua, and walk by spirit after you have been baptised not by the flesh. That's it. Yeshua never told you about this 3 in one nonsense. 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. The Father is Yeshua. The word is Yeshua The holy Ghost, meaning he is spirit and not Carnal minded. ⚡John 1:1 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ⚡John 1:14 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Meaning Yeshua the spirit, went into a flesh vessel, that he created through the seed of David. The flesh vessel is not Yeshua, the spirit that went into that flesh vessel is Yeshua.
Remembering 1992 Who can tell me that the spirit that was in the flesh vessel Jesus was not God? Look at these scriptures; ✝️Isaiah 9:6 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. ✝️2 Corinthians 5:19 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. ✝️Deutoronomy 32:4 4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. ✝️ 1 Corinthians 10:4 4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. ✝️Collisians 2:9 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. ✝️John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. ✝️1 Timothy 3:16 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. ⚡John 1:1 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ⚡John 1:14 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. ✝️Exodus 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. ✝️John 8:58 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Remembering 1992 ⚡Proverbs 9:7-10 7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. 8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. 9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

The choices you have made to break these chains ⛓ has made an impact in the world that can never be measured ❤️🙏🏻
That is one of the best sermons I've ever heard in my life. WEEPING with conviction. I journaled an entire page of just one quote.
Jeff, thank you so much for the introduction where you encourage people to be part of the local church. This is where so many 'online preachers' fall short in my opinion (unintentionally). God's intention was always to have a local group of people He has called for His glory.
This has aged so well and is even more true today than it was when it was posted. Thank you for your note at the beginning about getting plugged into a local church, I wish everyone did that - they don’t usually and I used it as a tool to avoid community for years
"If it is just a metaphor, then what greater thing does it represent?"
--Epic point...
Wow, it's been so long since I've seen a strong message about sin and hell and holiness. Thank you!
Perfect sermon for this time we ALL are going through!
I would love to read some of the history your son is learning! I did not grow up in a Christian home. I've missed so much.
I appreciate you brother you always preach truth!!!
Cuts just like Hebrews 4:12
I would love to attend your church .❤️🔥🫡
Powerful message! Thank you Jeff...
I have got to stop reading the comments. I’ll never understand why anyone will come to a message like this and just be angry and try to cut you. Wait, I do know why.... pray for them that they will turn to our lord Jesus for repentance.
Been Christian for 3 years and blessed I am only just now finding out about Pastor Durbin and James White

✝️JESUS CHRIST IS LORD 🕊
Follow HIM ♥️
Jesus talked to me in this message . . . 😥

Thank you Jeff I desperately needed this message to truly change my sinful and rebellious heart. I will stay to the word and ONLY the word, but while sticking ever so close to my church as well.
Thank you for your words of encouragement.
I live in northeast Thailand but originally from northern California.
Thank you and Blessings to your ministry. I so love all of you at Apologia Studios!
Thanks Jeff! That's a tough message to receive but absolutely necessary. I could hear the audience crying the whole time.
A live healthy church has babies a'squallin' in th'pews!!

tokyo babe I can say that I’m currently doing better than I have been in the past 10 years. Even better than before the drinking.
Dan oh my im oddly glad for the good reply! God bless you!!
tokyo babe For you or anyone interested, I highly recommend listening to this: ruclips.net/video/jj2bm5-PMAI/видео.html
This the real bible folks. This is Gods heart for us.. to be truly free
That was great Jeff. Just what I needed, The ending was too true.
FINALLY a non-clickbait title.
lol ikr, the titles are usually ridiculously over the top. Everything is "powerful" or "epic"
One of my favorite sermons. The closing is so powerful. God bless you all
This is a very powerful message! This message is very much needed for me. Thank you!
You are my online Pastor. I appreciate you and the team.
Chris Pratt in the latest avenger movie, when asked “who is your lord?” responded with “What, am I supposed to say Jesus Christ?” I’m not sure what exactly to make of it, but I left the movie feeling sick to my stomach, like he sold out his actual Lord for money and fame. God is not mocked.
love this.. you remind me of Louie Giglio!! Yes I need to pluck and THROW!!!!
Love your preaching God bless you and your family.
No eye has seen... etc "But God has revealed it to us by His spirit"..
you may not be my pastor but I will be watching until I find one.
Brilliant! Thank You Lord
Amen. Thank you for pulling me out of the Sandersonite cult and its deficient gospel. Praise God.
What is that cult you mention?
@@tamikloosterman1980 faithful word baptist church, in Phoenix, AZ. They preach a version of OSAS that s not fully biblical.
Beautiful sermon
Saving knowledge and the power of the Holy Ghost Jeff is the only way to overcome sin. As Paul grew in Jesus Christ and he conquered. Be careful in your preaching because God's spirit will not rest on your words if you don't come under full knowledge of the cross. If you preach sin trust in the Lord that he will send the Holy Ghost to be presence. Most believers of the gospel come into salvation and don't understand what has take place in their lives. It is no longer them who lives but it is Christ in them by the Spirit who has given them power not to sin. Love for God must come from God. Remember the simplicity of the Gospel it was not Jesus's will to save humanity but his Father's. Jesus is nothing more than the lamb of God submitting to the will of the Father. So anyone who is really seeking deliverance from pornography or any sin should focus total on Jesus Christ and the cross. Radical ideas of getting rid of sin in scripture is only there to show us the reality of sin its danger to us but God does not leave there. Jesus Christ will clean us and the Holy Spirit will renew us so we won't live after the flesh. Remember the letter killeth but the Spirit of God give us Life. WE MUST HAVE BOTH WORKING IN OUR MIDST. God loves his creation and is the God who looks after it in its fullness. Jesus Christ is not religion he is eternal life. Praise be to God through his Son the only way. The kingdom of God is Now!!!!
Great message! God bless
Yes! Thank you, WARRIOR!
It would be interesting to see Pastor Her interview Russell Brand. A new age gibbering old associate of mine recomended I listen to his "truths" on religeon, Jesus and Christianity in general.
Apparently he's influenced some Christian's to "think outside the box" of our "boxed in little Church worlds", he also unfoundly "preaches" Yeshua is in fact an amalgam of gentle philosophies of different characters moulded in to one.
The conversation would be fascinating to watch, not just to hear Russell's retort but also to witness to the new age stalwarts that what this so called "new age of enlightenment" is in fact an old age deception.
It is somewhat mindblowing how you keep referring to hell as kehena, bc that is the local nude beach which is really the gates of hell in the pilau hedonistic sunday rituals that take place there.
Just lost another swimmer there the other week.
Amen brother. Water and the Spirit are always related to each other as well (Jesus offering living water, never thirst again, water and blood from Jesus' side, etc...). Maybe in the separation from God in hell people would desire even a drop of God's spirit?
Loved your "hello angel victory dance" haha. Also, I deeply respect the prologue message you gave. Good sermon. God bless your ministry!
The intro covers all the exact same points the village church intros cover. Pretty cool. I'm saddened about Matt's recent shift.
Apology Studios Jeff!!! I need help someone I love and admire dearly has picked up the LGBTQ cause and starting advocating this message I have my own sins...but I have tried very hard to model my life after the word and the Lord Jesus Christ. I feel we in spiritual war and everywhere I turn our Christian warriors are falling prey to watered down gospels ,false teachings and the ways of the world. I love and respect you guys dearly and consider you my brothers and sisters. How do dismantle this problem with the word and remain completely true to all aspects of the Lord?
Joshua
Good sermon
Is the Sanctuary and Nursery in the same room? Great message but the kids noise was throwing me off.
Thank you Jeff
I really like what you have to say by the way
powerful❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Don'tcha worry bro, I'm plugged-in to a live one!!
I love what he’s saying about the “fire and brimstone preacher” that didn’t want his hearers to go there! But frankly I’m bewildered considering it comes from a man that believes Jesus wants most to go there. I really don’t get it.
I think your understanding of Jesus's want is scewed. The only reference we even have of Jesus claiming to want something was to do the will of his Father.
But I think what youre driving at is that you think Jesus is only satisfied when sinners have been condemned. And in that you are only half right.
You might be interested in studying through Romans. It sounds as if you blame Jesus for sending people to hell (judgment.) If youre really stuck on blame, you could blame Adam because he represented us and fathered us into sin. But if you think that you could've represented yourself better than adam in the garden then you really need to consider the pride in that thought.
God demands justice for sin. He gives grace to those who beleive and justice to the rest. God is never unjust.
And if we beleive in him it is because of his vast grace. Not our desires, but rather ones that he gives us.
Tyler White If Calvinism’s understanding of God’s sovereignty is true, He desires most to be damned and created them for that purpose without recourse.
@Longbow657 I definitely do (blame Calvinism)! I agree with Wesley that Calvinism paints God as worse than the devil.
Get Chris Pratt on Next Week!
What if i trust in Christ, I confess Him as LORD, and I feel He is drawing me to the Catholic Church? I'm in the book of life regardless at this point, aren't I?
First off, (I'm being sincere) is this a real question about you or just a hypothetical one? Second let me just say no man can say wether your name is in the book of Life, only God knows and you would know too if you have assurance as a believer.
Stay away from Catholics false doctrine denomination! The Roman Catholics killed early Christians for a start!
How about the sun of unforgiveness or anger? How to deal with that.
What would constitute a reformed church?
Pastor Jeff Durbin at Apologia Church how can we get help if the Devil / evil people used technology to cause to get sciences.
How do I know if it is the right church? I have attended Church of Christ church and it felt like I was at a concert.
The Campbellite churches of Christ (Thomas and Alexander Campbell, founders) came out of the restoration movement, along with the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses. Another branch of Church of Christ is Christian Church (you'll recognize the congregation by their logo of a chalis and cross). From my experience, having grown up and lived with their followers, is that is a works salvation denomination. Although each congregation is autonomous, they typically believe one absolutely must be baptized by immersion and by a CoC minister as a requisite of salvation. One problem with this is that neither of the Campbell brothers was baptised in that manner. They also do not permit musical instruments as part of worship services, so all singing is acapella. But as I say, each congregation is autonomous. So on one place you have Rev Jeremiah Wright's hate-filled Black only church, and another place (mom's city of residresidence) the CoC condones, accepts, and applauds the pastor's son's homosexuality and the daughter's use of and addiction to elicit drugs and lesbianism. Both claim to be founded on what the Bible says, which to me seems like an error in transmission. Best thing: stay clear of any church coming out of the restoration movement.
Any church in Belgium (Baal-gium?

Jeff pls make a video with Aron Ra
This is convicting. But I am lost, and don't know what to do
Hey Michael. To know you're lost is such a good place to be - Many think that they are saved when in reality they are not. What you need to do to be saved is... nothing (in the sense of trying to save yourself). You cannot save yourself. That is the REASON why Jesus came - "To seek and to save the lost" (Lk 19:10). He obeyed the Law perfectly for sinners, died the death that you deserved, rose from the dead and did what you could never do. So what you must do is come to Christ and He will save you. "Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Rom 10:13). Repent of your sins and believe in Christ and He will save you.
Jesus wants quality disciples not quantity! let's be workable material for the master!
What Jesus wants, He gets.
I WISH MY CHURCH USED ME OR INCLUDED ME IN ANYTHING BESIDES JUST SITTING THERE EVERY SUNDAY AND MAYBE WEDNESDAY. MAYBE GAVE ME ADVICE ON HOW TO DO ANYTHING MINISTRY RELATED. OH HMM OR EVEN BE READILY AVAILABLE TO TALK. OR WILLING EVEN.

So if a saved/ forgiven believer in christ stumbles and causes someone to sin.. but then repents.. do they still escape the milestone analogy?
What if we as believers unknowingly cause someone to sin?
So believing christ died for my sins and being saved by faith isn't covering this issue?? I feel like this is impossible.. 😭
aww man ive been struggling with the sin of lust over women.. been trying to fight it for years.. i dont do it all the time because i try staying away as best i can but in the weak times like once a month or every two months its like a fall weak.. Im single though so maybe getting married will help me. I did fall into fornication once because of netflix and chill, i was definitely not planning to fall or to fornicate but the girl was more wild than i thought and i put myself in that situation but couldnt run like joseph did.. I left her though because she didnt want to make things right and she wanted to continue to have sex. i grieve because of these sins, i know im forgiven but definitely do not want to make others stumble smh.. sigh. thanks for the Word Jeff
Dead Kenny Carnal man, Carnal answer
Victor Rene The more time you spend in The Bible, the more it will keep you away from sin. The more time you spend with sin, the more it will take you away from The Bible. I struggle to, I get it. Put it in Jesus's hands And dig deep into his word. Constantly
Genalation Amen brother that is so true, thank you.
Dead Kenny I mean the unhealthy lust from porn and just lusting after any women on the street with the eyes. Jesus said when we lust after a women we commit adultery in the heart. Sex is a gift from God and its great but within Gods boundaries and that is marriage, any other way creates a lot of problems.. I have suffered from it in being in fornication with women.
Victor Rene ; know whatcha mean,bro...
Amen
Matthew 8:1-9 ECV
1 At that moment in time came the disciples of Jesus to inquire, “Who then shall the greatest be among men in the spiritual kingdom of the heavenly realms?”
2 And so, he called together the children, stood himself in among them, 3 and said, “Truly I say to you, If not willing to return, for an absolute to become as it was as a child, no way possible is there to gain entrance into the spiritual kingdom of the heavenly realms.
4 “Whoever then is willing to suffer humiliation in himself, as does a child, this is the one who is the greatest in the spiritual kingdom of the heavenly realms.
5 “And he who will except a child of such a kind, one with the name and reputation of mine, me personally excepts.
6 “Who then should ever cause to sin one of the least intelligent of such as this, one with absolute trust in me, far better for him if there were hang a mill stone around his neck, and he then submerged in the depths of the sea.
7 “Woe to the world because of the pretense of good that hides an intent to do evil to those less intelligent! It being necessary therefore, this evolution of darkness, this knowledge of good and evil mixed, to show the harm in it. Otherwise how would man know what harm was, or the reason not to do it? But woe to the man through whom the enrichment upon the misery of those less intelligent comes!
8 “If then a hand of yours, or a foot of yours, brings the guilt of sin upon you, cut loose from it, surely throw it far away from you. More good and noble for you is it to enter into the permanent existence crippled or lame, then to have both hands plus both feet and be thrown into the fire that cremates a man into nothing, into nonexistence, the one that is eternal.
9 “And If an eye of yours creates the root cause of all sin, an envious desire within you, tear out by the roots all of it, and expel it from the sight of you. More good and noble for you is it with only one eye into the permanent existence to enter, then with both eyes be thrown into the cremation that causes nonexistence, that eternal fire.

Hey pastor do you think viruses exist
Does having premarital sex keep a believer from entering heaven or is this secondary? I think I know the hard answer. It’s whether or not it is my place to tell another believer(family member) who knows already this is not right behavior in the site of God, that they should stop.
Was upset that the commercial preceding this was promoting Mormonism?
Do you support those in your congregation who join the military?
Rather likely. Jeff is not Amish or Mennonite or a Jehovah's Witness, or a Hutterite, etc.
I was in The military airborne when I decided to follow Jesus ✝️
I’ve been Born Again From Above 🕊since 1984 I would Not recommend Anyone to join any armed force.
Jesus is The King & His Kingdom is a Royal Priesthood The Holy Nation. You got pent up energy fight against evil in The Spiritual realm! Not against flesh and blood.
Love God & people (everyone). 🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏🏿

Apologia. Do you pray to Jesus on the cross?
Jesus isn't on the cross.

Sounds like alot of works
TRUTH
Any thoughts on new2torah?
Zachary Bauer believes that the mosaic covenant was renacted with Christ replacing the statutes involving the temple, as Jesus new it would be destroyed. Couldn't be further from the truth. He is everything Paul preached against.
Read galatians.
Reading the heading it assumes that sin is something we have to deal with ourselves. For example to "die to self", "surrender", "obedient"... But those doctrines are from Buddhism and has nothing to do with true Christianity. This is something that came in by Jesuits.
We are not the ones who are dealing with our sins, God does, and He did it 2000 years ago. Buddhists put their sins to death and struggle in order to be a better person, Christians believe that there are already dead and if we are already dead then dead man cannot sin. So there is a big difference between Oriental doctrine "die to self" and Christian doctrine "you are already dead with Christ", one is suggesting us to DO something, other is suggestion us to BELIEVE something. So I am not bothering to watch this hour video session because 99% of mainstream Christianity teaches that Oriental false doctrine that we have to put our sin to death. If this is something that we must do, then we must perform another part of the equation which is "to get resurrected with Christ". How do you perform that resurrection? How do you perform that "being with Christ at the right hand of God in heavenly places"? This is not something you can DO, but BELIEVE, because the same theme that describes "we are dead with Christ" describes also "we are seated with Him at the heavenly places". So cut that crap "dying to self" false Satanic doctrine and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, who died and you with him, and resurrected, and you with him, which is not a present act but something that happened 2000 years ago. I am dead as Christ is, I am resurrected as Christ is, and I am dead to sin because dead man cannot sin.
Gontainer I like you man.

What if you're an over-the-road trucker then what
What do you mean?
bob polo you really can't go to any old church you have to go when you can
fastjoe - Priorities and values, brother. If value your relationship with God and His Bride, then you will order your life around that center point. Priorities and values
bob polo ...... interesting
bob polo I think we should have people who are on the road Holy Spirit-filled.... teaching praying obeying God's word... there is a lot of lost Truckers
How can I contact you?
Leigh Askin pray to Satan.
Zach Waddill you will be with him for eternity if u don't repent
cm punk I'm saved by the blood of Jesus. This is preaching a works based salvation.
Zach Waddill sorry i tought you we're an athiest. You're right we're saved by Jesus's blood only but if you're saved you should have fruits if you claim you're saved but never transform or if you're still slave to sin you're not really saved, I know we sin some times I'm talking living in sin...faith without works is dead as the bible says
cm punk ; If I am saved I have no means of sinning, Ephesians 2:8-15, romans 4:15, 1john 3:5. Romans 12:16-17, 1 peter 2:12, 1 corinthians 9:20;That should clarify every consession ever spoken by way of morality.
Do you also get paid to preach?
The Bible says to pay your pastor.
(Even Joseph Smith said they deserved a salary.)
Faye Lewis
I see no importance of quoting Joseph smith in this context, when JS is a false prophet
Wow
And old folks,goofy folks,kids'n teenagers!
It sounds like he was preaching this spicy sermon to a bunch of toddlers 🤪
Them Messianic Jews doan mess around with sin...they name it for what it is and give ya th'Scripture to back up what you can expect to get if ya keep wallerin' in it...
I’m interested to know something here. It sounds like what Jeff is saying here is that a Godly preacher will preach the reality of sin and the danger of hell, yet preaching with earnest compassion to keep people from hell. Yet if this is Godly, is God Himself divided, on hand displaying earnest compassion to keep people from hell, yet on the other allowing those passed over from election to continue on their path to hell unhindered?
Is God unwilling or simply unable to regenerate all? If He is unable then He is less than sovereign. If He is unwilling He has less compassion than a preacher having the qualities desired by compassionate Christians.
I suspect this systematic has some serious flaws.
The divine paradox is that Scripture clearly teaches that God chooses who will be saved but Scripture also teaches that God commands every man to repent. My conclusion is that He chooses the believers but I don't know how He works it out.
bob polo This isn’t a paradox; it’s actually quite logical. God chooses who will be saved and He tells us who will be saved - all those who believe. This is why we are commanded to repent and believe; God is love and in His love He desires that all be saved. Because He has chosen to save those who believe in Jesus, it’s quite logical that a loving God would command us to believe.
jay - Where does it say we're commanded to believe? Serious question
bob polo 1 John 3:23.
Jesus issues two commandments that encompass all the law and prophets. The first is to love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. If you believe that Jesus is indeed God, then this first command goes further then even simply believing Jesus, it includes loving Him, trusting Him, honouring Him, obeying Him.
The second commandment is to love neighbour as self. In loving out neighbour, loving each other, then we can be considered friends of Jesus. John 15:11-13.
By loving neighbour as self we are acting in belief in Jesus. Again this command encompasses believing in Jesus.
jay - Those commandments presuppose belief, but they don't command belief. What's your theology when it comes to anthropology? Are we half way fallen creatures or has sin completely wrecked our entire being?

This is a satire on a touchy-feely preacher. Right?
No???
Huh??
Whitefield was an arminian and established methodism, preaching Christian perfectionism and that one could fall out of the grace of God. People flocked to him because he tickled their ears. He’s a poor example. Spurgeon would have been a better one.
The parable of the wedding feast is prophetic; not applicable today. Works based salvation is here. Welcome to the great falling away people.
Cat o lic m ass lol! Catholic mess I like it!
💙🐇🐖🐏🐏🐏🦌🦁🐺superb
Yuk, reformed theology! U mean tulip? U mean dispensationalism? U mean sitting with McArthur, and Piper, at the feast, while watching those who weren't pre-elect burning in hell? Yuk
U mean no personal relationship with Holy Spirit? U mean God doesn't talk to u?
Also? Obviously intellectually based, to what extreme? Do you worship the Bible? Do u require beards for elders or something?
also the greatest commandment is the shema or 1 commandment. almost every Christian believe god is a trinity and worship a man as though he is god. that is blasphemy
The trinity teaches that there is one God.
There is one God.
There are three persons in the Godhead. Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Each person is God.
The only way to get rid of the trinity is to get rid of the Bible.
You are not a Christian if you do not believe in the trinity. You have a different god. The core teaching of Christianity is the belief in a triune God.
God bless you!
Faye Lewis sorry I'm unfamiliar with the verse that says god is 3 people.
Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name (singular) of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
How do you baptize people? In the name of one God and two creatures?
Isaiah 48:16 “Come near to Me, listen to this:
From the first I have not spoken in secret,
From the time it took place, I was there.
And now the Lord God has sent Me, and His Spirit.”
Biblical doctrine is not based on one verse. That would be disastrous. It is based on the whole of Scripture.
Faye Lewis well you know in Isaiah 48 16 the father is speaking right? john 17 1-3 jesus himself calls the father the one true god. and just because you baptize someone in someone else's name does not make that person god. john 4 24 says god is spirit. luke 24 39 jesus says a spirit does nat have flesh and bones as he has. god is spirit jesus is flesh. therefore jesus is not god. malachi 3 6. says I am god and I do not change hosea 11 9 god says I am god and not a man. god says he does not change and god says he is not a man. therefore god would not and could not change into a man cause that would make him a liar. hebrews 5 5 is speaking of the day of Jesus's resurrection read that and you will also see jesus did not pre exist his birth.
Faye Lewis jesus is not the speaker in Isaiah 48 16 it is Isaiah read the context of the whole chapter before and you will see that.
I hate that damn word "nice".....too much "nice" frosting to cover-up th'doo-doo...

Look at these two different sets of scripture, then you will see that Jesus was God and that the Trinity believers and Jahovah witnesses are dead wrong.
✝️Phillippians 2:5-11
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
✝️Exodus 20:1-7
1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

God is not 3 in one, he's not ice, steam and liquid, that is the devil whispering in your ear. This is the very reason why people do not believe the new testament GOSPEL.
Matthew 28:19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Meaning the name Yeshua, and walk by spirit after you have been baptised not by the flesh. That's it. Yeshua never told you about this 3 in one nonsense.
1 John 5:7
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
The Father is Yeshua.
The word is Yeshua
The holy Ghost, meaning he is spirit and not Carnal minded.
