Beware of False Prophets

Beware of False Prophets

False prophets rarely announce themselves. Jesus warned that they come disguised as sheep while inwardly they're ravening wolves, and the only way to spot them is by their fruit. Working through Matthew 7:15-20, this message walks through how doctrine, character, and influence reveal what's really going on beneath the surface. It also looks at why spiritual discernment requires knowing scripture for yourself rather than relying on someone else's word for it, and why the danger often comes from within the church rather than outside it.

Micah

Who is a God like ours? Pastor Andrew gives an overview of the often overlooked book of Micah, a short but powerful prophet who ministered alongside Isaiah during a time of corrupt leadership and social injustice. The message traces three cycles of judgment and hope, showing how God demands justice because he is holy, yet delights in mercy. Along the way, key prophecies point straight to Jesus, including Micah's prediction that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. A great introduction to a small book with a big message.

A Beauty That Never Fades

What does true beauty look like in God's eyes? Pastor Andrew opens 1 Peter 3 to show that lasting beauty is found not in outward appearance but in a meek and quiet spirit. Looking at the example of Sarah's trust in Abraham, he explains how a wife's Christ-like character can powerfully influence her husband and her home, even in difficult circumstances. This message reminds every believer that God values the hidden person of the heart far more than outward adorning, a beauty that never fades.

No Excuse

What was the world really like just before the flood, and what does it say about today? Dr. Bryan Stensaas walks through Genesis 6, showing how wickedness spread from Cain's example until society became godless, and how God's holiness, omniscience, and justice demanded judgment. Yet in the middle of that judgment, grace stood out. Noah did not earn God's favor, he simply believed God and obeyed him, entering the one door of the ark that God provided for salvation. A sobering look at sin, judgment, and the grace that still saves through Christ today.

Which Road Are You On?

There are only two roads, and you're already walking one of them. From Matthew 7:13-14, Pastor Andrew looks at the wide gate and the narrow gate, the path that feels easy and crowded versus the one that leads to life. He explains why so many religions exist and why that makes the Truth harder to find, why sincerity and good works can never save anyone, and why Jesus alone is the Way to the Father. If you've never been sure which road you're on, this message will help you find out, and shows how you can turn to the narrow gate today.
