Fool If I Do, Fool If I Don't | The Treasure of the Kingdom | Matthew 13

God’s Word Is Complete — Proving the Preservation of Scripture

In this Bible study, David Bertram takes you through one of the most important truths in all of Christianity: God’s Word is complete, preserved, trustworthy, and fully inspired—exactly as God promised. For generations, people have been told that the Bible is missing books, corrupted, edited, or incomplete. But when you examine Scripture, history, archaeology, and manuscript evidence, the conclusion becomes undeniable: God preserved His Word just as He said He would. In this study you will learn: • Why claiming “the Bible is incomplete” is actually an accusation against God Himself • How Jesus, the prophets, and the apostles affirmed the permanence and perfection of Scripture • What the Bible says about its own inspiration, preservation, and sufficiency • How modern manuscript evidence—including the Dead Sea Scrolls—confirms the reliability of the Old and New Testaments • Why groups that claim the Bible is “broken” end up contradicting their own foundation • Why Scripture does not need new books, new prophets, or new revelations to “fix” it Featured passages include Isaiah 40:8, Psalm 119:89, Luke 21:33, 2 Timothy 3:16–17, 2 Peter 1:20–21, Hebrews 4:12, Psalm 19, Matthew 4, Romans 15:4, and Revelation 22. David exposes the flawed logic behind the idea of an “incomplete Bible,” explains the spiritual danger of adding to or taking away from God’s Word, and challenges listeners to return to the unshakable confidence the early church had in Scripture. If you’ve ever been told the Bible is corrupted, missing books, or insufficient—this teaching will ground your faith, strengthen your confidence, and equip you to stand firm on the Word that endures forever.

Fool If I Do, Fool If I Don't | The Treasure of the Kingdom | Matthew 13

In this message, Pastor David Bertram preaches a powerful lesson from Matthew 13:24–44, revealing the true Treasure of the Kingdom of God. Jesus teaches four kingdom parables—the Wheat and the Tares, the Mustard Seed, the Leaven, and the Treasure in the Field—to show how the Kingdom begins small, grows, transforms, and ultimately demands everything from those who see its value. This sermon addresses: • What the Kingdom of Heaven really is • Why Jesus introduced a spiritual Kingdom, not a political one • The danger of the enemy sowing tares among the wheat • The reality of Hell, judgment, mercy, and righteousness • Why Satan attacks the “seed stage” of your walk with God • The hidden treasure of salvation through repentance, water baptism in Jesus’ name, and receiving the Holy Ghost • How true disciples gladly sacrifice everything because they see the Treasure If you want deep biblical teaching that confronts modern misconceptions, explains Apostolic doctrine, and calls believers to wholehearted surrender, this message will strengthen your walk with God. Scripture focus: Matthew 13:24–44, 2 Peter 3:9, John 3:5, Acts 2:38, Philippians 3:7–8. Keywords: Kingdom of Heaven sermon, Matthew 13 teaching, Apostolic preaching, Wheat and Tares explained, Mustard Seed parable, Treasure in the Field sermon, Holy Ghost preaching, Oneness Pentecostal teaching, repentance and baptism, Jesus name baptism, end-time harvest, expository Bible preaching.

Deeper Dive- What is a Temple?

For thousands of years, God’s presence was tied to a physical building—the tabernacle in the wilderness and the temple in Jerusalem. But when Jesus came, everything changed. In this episode, Pastor David Bertram walks through the major shift from a stone temple to a living temple, explaining how the outpouring of the Holy Ghost in Acts 2 marked the moment God moved His dwelling place from buildings into people. You’ll learn why repentance is essential, what it means to be born of water and Spirit, and how every believer becomes a royal priesthood called to holiness.

KSRA | 11/9/25 | God Loved you First | Lemhi Pentecostal Church

In this powerful KSRA Radio episode, Pastor David Bertram of Lemhi Pentecostal Church in Salmon, Idaho, shares an anointed devotion titled “He Loved You First.” You’ll be reminded that God’s love isn’t conditional—it’s agape love. Before you ever prayed, believed, or changed—He loved you first. No sin, no failure, no past mistake can separate you from the love of God that’s found in Christ Jesus. Then, two incredible testimonies demonstrate that same love in action: The Miracle Healing of Briana Hoffer Valdez — how God healed her completely from brain cancer. The Redemption of Briana Moreno — rescued from a childhood of trauma, suicide, and rejection, and restored by the power of Jesus Christ. Following the testimonies, enjoy the worship song “You Saw Me” by Cornerstone Pentecostal Church in Liberty Lake, Washington, pastored by Bishop Rick Mayo. Finally, Pastor Bertram teaches a short but life-changing Bible study on “Pentecost Is for Every Christian Believer.” You’ll hear the truth of Acts 2:38—that the infilling of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues is still God’s plan of salvation for every believer today. 1 John 4:19 | Romans 8:38-39 | John 3:16 | Acts 2:1-4 | Acts 2:38 | Romans 5:5 Lemhi Pentecostal Church 📍 2326 Main Street Salmon, Idaho 83467 Sunday Morning Worship – 11 AM Sunday Night Service – 7 PM Tuesday Bible Study – 7 PM Website: www.LemhiPentecostalChurch.com Facebook: facebook.com/LemhiPentecostalChurch Instagram: @LemhiPentecostalChurch Spotify / iHeartRadio / Apple Podcasts: Lemhi Pentecostal Church Apostolic Pentecostal, Holy Ghost, Spirit filled, Jesus Name Baptism, Acts 2:38, Faith Testimony, Miracle Healing, Brain Cancer Healed, Delivered From Suicide, Briana Hoffer Valdez, Briana Moreno, Rick Mayo, Cornerstone Pentecostal Church, Lemhi Pentecostal Church Salmon Idaho, Oneness Apostolic Teaching, KSRA Radio, Salmon Idaho Church, God Loved You First, Agape Love, Pentecost For Everyone
