    Please pray for my boyfriend. He doesn't believe pornography is a sin, and--for a while--he almost convinced me it wasnt either. But everything I hear now convicts me that it is a sin. Even the worship to other gods mentioned in tonight's sermon. Please pray he is convicted too 🙏🏼

      I could have a great conversation with him. As a male who has struggled with porn, especially as a Christian and how it impacts relationships.

      I just wanted to encourage you, you mentioned about being convicted, that's a good thing!! I pray you accept the Lord Jesus Christ, also understand, I'm not condemning you AT ALL, I knew these things were wrong, and yet for a long while, God set me free from drugs, He delivered me from drugs, in 2 seconds, a demon came out, after I came back to Him after backsliding, and yet, after walking with Him, for a few years, after my husband passed away, I had 4 young children, and after a certain time being out of fellowship, I fell way AGAIN! I just noticed that you mentioned being convicted, so it's wonderful, and I will pray for you, but just a thought, if you accept the Lord Jesus, just from my own experience, you need to not have sexual relations anymore until marriage. God can and will convict, and possibly save your boyfriend, but this was a bit of a stumbling block for me, because I was kind of clingy as a younger adult, You have to turn away first, and be willing to serve God, and then afterwards, seek Him for His will in your life. If you want to marry, He will get you a godly husband, in fact He says if you delight yourself in Him, His peace, joy and walk in righteousness, faith, He'll give you the desires of your heart! Be encouraged, he'll isn't worth going to!! It's easy to get sucked in if you're with others who are practicing sin, but you can be forgiven, and loved by God, washed in His blood, and have your name written in the Lamb's Book of Life! God bless you!

      [4] Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again-rejoice! [5] Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon. [6] Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. [7] Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

    I have to say that listening to this sermon have told me so much about how my life has become the way it is today. As a person how I became an acholic, lost my job, lost my family, and became homeless. GOD has a way of teaching you many things in your life. I have come to find out, I have to learn to listen. Now that I have open my heart to GOD, I have so been blessed ever since. And it is not just me. For GOD gave the ability to bless others and let them know that it is all GOD. Amen.

    I listen to you every morning on my way to work, and I wanna say I absolutely love the way you explain the Bible, I have learned so much. I hope you get to read this Pastor Allen, because I know if there is anyone who can break down and explain what I am about to tell you, you can. I've heard a lot about how that some of the stuff in the Bible was taken from older writings. and that there was a race of beings named the anunnaki who came to earth and made humans. You'll have to look into it, but I am thinking these may have been some of the falling angels. I would love to see a series on this subject from you. I know you could break it down and at least for some people get rid of this deception. God bless you, your family, and church

    • @kristijones3657
      @kristijones3657 6 месяцев назад

      Read the book of Enoch. It explains in detail what happens in the beginning of Genesis chapter 6. The 200 watchers (angels) who came to earth on Mt Hermon. History calls them annunaki. They procreated with human women and created a race of giants called Nephilim. They also mixed other species together. Very advanced stuff. Jesus said just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be when He returns. And this is happening again. All the info is out there to be found. Pray for discernment before searching these topics so you'll know when you're hearing the truth ❤️🙏🏼

    I believe Jesus saves my soul because I trust in Him to do so and I try to follow the word. But, when it comes to my needs here, I've been praying for years and have had silence. My health, my career, my finances, my desire to bless others is all hinged on what I do it seems. No one is coming to help me with my health, or my bills, or the joy in my life unless it's me. As an IT professional pursuing an MD/PhD to bless others it would be amazing to have help in so many areas of life.... but still just silence.

[3] Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge! Interlude [4] A river brings joy to the city of our God, the sacred home of the Most High. [5] God dwells in that city; it cannot be destroyed. From the very break of day, God will protect it. [6] The nations are in chaos, and their kingdoms crumble! God’s voice thunders, and the earth melts! [7] The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress. Interlude

Wherever I go, my enemies have set traps for me. [4] I look for someone to come and help me, but no one gives me a passing thought! No one will help me; no one cares a bit what happens to me. [5] Then I pray to you, O Lord. I say, “You are my place of refuge. You are all I really want in life. [6] Hear my cry, for I am very low. Rescue me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me. [7] Bring me out of prison so I can thank you. The godly will crowd around me, for you are good to me.”

      Question:do you seek God's face daily through His word and praising Him, or just seek His hand? I am 73 years old, and I'm telling you it's a real war the enemy have waged on humanity for such as you mentioned. To get us to blame God for not giving us what we want.
      I am have learned to be greatful for the most simple things and I thank Him every day. Seek His face instead of His hand. And then he will extend His hand. To confirm this read bible :
      Book of Mathew 6:33. Don't stray from or turn your back on Jesus, or you will eternally regret it, my friend! 😘💖🌹

      Hello Scott my brother in Christ. Reading your comments really shows your self centeredness. It is all about what you’re not getting and what God is not doing for you. The Christian life is not about what God can do for you but how can I love God and love others. Blessing God and seeking the fruit of the Spirit in spite of all the lousy stuff that is happening really preaches to those who know you and gives God true glory. Repent of self centeredness and so will I because we all struggle with it. God Bless my friend. Glory to God and to the Son Jesus Christ.

    • @scottmoore765
      @scottmoore765 7 месяцев назад

      ⁠​⁠@@curtdouglass8203 If it were only as simple as self centeredness. The study of medicine and desire to bless others through increased quality of life or through cure is selfless. Others depend on me. Therefore, when I struggle and suffer, so do they. Innocence suffers, those hurting suffer more, and those in need suffer. There is so much more I could say, but I will just leave this here. However, I do appreciate the direction to repent of selfishness as that is something I think about daily and do ask for forgiveness.

    Pastor Nolan thank you for this sermon. Just the other day I came across ancient gods material and felt curious so I read into it about 20 mins. I had this overwhelming feeling of being deceitful to the Lord. This teaching you gave us here was just that material I had read. Now, I don't believe in coincidence but things happen for a reason...You Pastor Nolan gave peace back in my heart because I thought I had done wrong by the lord. I know we are only to pray to one God but let me just say that reading of other gods left a feeling of guilt and feeling broken. Thanks again Pastor Nolan for all the teachings. 🙏

I have many favorites, but the one of the best is "Intro to Gensis" up to 100 sermon videos. After going through those you will understand the bible like never before. Amen to you my family in CHRIST.

    This is a great and most necessary sermon...Many people abandon pursuing a relationship with God on the misunderstanding and premise they are saved through works...Especially in the United States a nation founded on meritocracy...People are operating under the mistaken principle that they have to earn their way into heaven... They then gauge their sinful lifestyle or past as rendering them not viable for salvation, thus they give up...This message Pastor Nolan should restore hope to many!!...This must be taught across the country to save souls!! Thank you.

    I took your advise I believe ALL my sins are forgiven including the most heinous ones, I look forward to my union with Christ the King, I already know what angina feels like ,it happened twice and I was not alarmed but I hope to meet Him at the rapture but if I die before then I will count it as gain, God bless you Pastor, I looked a long time and I found you. I'm a member of almost every denomination represented in the U.S. Grew up in United Methodist , switched to Episcopal got confirmed there learned catechism. Learned of Advent in the U.M.C.and received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit there too when I was 19, got married at 36 ,joined the Presbyterian church, then AA at 42 and then ist Baptist Church . Then I think I was 52 when I joined the Pentecostal Church of God, was a member of their worship team 3 years , then the pastor was voted out, because he was too radical he preached Christ Jesus risen from the dead and had an alter call every meeting on sunday ,I was booted from the worship team by the new pastor because I couldn't make it to practice on time. On that year the company shift bell was 5 minutes late , so I was 5 minutes late for practice. I'm a bass or baritone and I'm a belter I can sing solos without sound equipment and I sing on key, have never sung professionally only for Christ I'm 70 now and retired on S.S. only but God is meeting my needs, Don't be too concerned I'll come back and listen to this sermon or I'll be on my way.God Bless you for being there , Almost all the pentecostal style churches have gone woke up here in northern Mi. my favorite was episcopal but the priest is lesbian.

    I hope Jesus knows me and that have been forgiven. When things stay tough for a long while, at least for me, I refuse to quit believing. The situations seems neverending almost like ones ask me why I have hope? My answer is because there is no other place or person to believe in. So I put my trust in God. Am I wrong? Sometimes I feel very alone yet I refuse to give up on believing.

    • @ronaldross6950
      @ronaldross6950 7 месяцев назад +1

      You should know that you are never alone. GOD has always been there, and he always will. You have put your trust and faith in GOD, so why would you think you are wrong? Just to ask that question you are doubting yourself. So, please do not doubt yourself and keep the faith.

      I like the question; I just hope you don't mind me answering that? Of course, I am not Allen, duh. Once you are saved that means you live the life as best you can like JESUS CHRIST. Now, many people have been saved. But many of them have turned away. Just look at the music industry. No, they can come back, but they have to ask for forgiveness. For some they make it just in time. For others it has become too late. I hope that answered your question? Amen and GOD bless you and yours.

    • @robertteague6342

      I believe the answer to that is a resounding yes now. Although I went back and forth on the subject for the 2 years that I kept researching it. That was a very good question though. Through my research I found many passages in the Bible that support this while the verses that I found against it were taken out of context.

      ‭‭1 John‬ ‭3:4‭-‬10‬ ‭NLT‬‬
      [4] Everyone who sins is breaking God’s law, for all sin is contrary to the law of God. [5] And you know that Jesus came to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him. [6] Anyone who continues to live in him will not sin. But anyone who keeps on sinning does not know him or understand who he is. [7] Dear children, don’t let anyone deceive you about this: When people do what is right, it shows that they are righteous, even as Christ is righteous. [8] But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. [9] Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s life is in them. So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God. [10] So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love other believers does not belong to God.
      Pastor Allen had taught a series on the five points of Calvinism and goes into great detail. What you are talking about is the Preservearance of the Saints which states that if you are a believer in Jesus you will persevere to the end of your life. There's much that goes into it but if we are to live a life of righteousness because God chose us before he created the universe and not because we chose him, then everything we do would be written the passive voice as a result of God's actions, not ours thus removing our free will out of the picture which is a very dangerous teaching and ultimately removing the hope for those that are lost. In Greek syntax, all the transitive verbs in 1 John 3 are written in the active voice which implies its us doing the action. So yes, you could lose your salvation even if you were to truly live for the Lord for a time and then turn away from him. Hebrews 6:6 "they shall fall away" is written in the active voice.

    I am sorry to keep commenting and do not want to offend anyone. I do not want your job, so please do not feel threatened. I only want to help build God's kingdom on Earth. I am watching this while crippled in pain. I can't even work a normal job anymore. I only leave the house to go to church or the doctor. However, God has blessed me with knowledge that developed into wisdom, and helping you may be the only way I can serve.
    "Hope for the Hopeless" is a better title for this video that would have reached more people and ultimately, helped more people find Jesus. You have to put yourself in your target audience's shoes. Pray for God to give you empathy for them and he will. If someone is hopeless, what are they typing into RUclips? There are many things I do not know, but I am 100% certain they are not typing in "Examining the Bible's Most Wicked King" and most likely not even typing in "How can I find hope in Jesus?"
    "Hope for the hopeless | How anyone can find hope again when there seems to be no path forward."
    I pray you receive this with the love I intended. I greatly enjoy listening to Pastor Nolan. God bless.

    What about blaspheming the Holy Ghost?Matthew 12:31-32.

    This was a very uncomfortable teaching. I realize I still have a long way to go to be a good Christian . I do not think that God should have forgiven Manasseh. What he did will continue on and on. It is unforgivable to me and he should have been punished. Yes, I know Jesus paid for our sins, but not at this time. It’s going to be very hard for me to change the way I feel about people like Manasseh. To harm children is unforgivable. To harm innocent animals is unforgivable. Both of those groups depend on us to protect them and to love them. I don’t know how to be able to forgive crimes against those two groups. Thank you for taking me out of my short lived comfort zone.
