John 2:14 Pastors Who Rob God 43:40

1y ago43:40

43:40

Greedy church leaders turning church into money! That's a good way to make God mad. This is the first time Jesus Cleanses the temple, at the beginning of His ministry. This was prophesied in the book of Malachi, ironically a book that money-loving preachers twist to collect money to this day.By Pastor Chad Dietz

The Placard Over You 20:42

2y ago20:42

20:42

The cross Jesus was crucified on... it belonged to Barabbas. That cross should have been ours. It should have been written over it "Murderer". What would be written over your cross as your crime? Instead, that sin was erased and replaced with this inscription: Jesus Christ, The King of the Jews. Pilate took credit for it, "What I have written, I ha…

Two sisters married to the same guy? What a mess. Rachel was hot. Leah was not... is that true? Did Leah have the face of a horse? No. Study it with me and you may be surprised to see how God worked this out for Leah to be greatly loved by Jacob.

As Jesus stumbled through the streets carrying His cross, He said something very terrifying! Luke 23:27-29 And a great multitude of the people followed Him, and women who also mourned and lamented Him. 28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 For indeed the d…

Mary Magdalene's Great Love, The Anointing At Bethany 29:21

2y ago29:21

29:21

My favorite text in all four gospels. The greatest worship service the earth had ever seen, and not a word was spoken! No longwinded prayers, no music, no flag-wavers, no drums, no fog machines. Just Jesus and one woman who knew Him and knew who He really was! In a room full of men and not one of them joined in, all they did was judge.…

Slavery In The Bible 9:28

2y ago9:28

9:28

The slavery of kidnapping someone and forcing them into chains is an abomination and condemned by God. Becoming a bond servant -as the bible mentions- has nothing to do with the crime of slavery this country was guilty of almost 200 years ago. Give this short teaching a chance to show you some of what the bible actually says about this sensitive su…

Rebekah, The First And Only Love 40:22

Genesis 24:67 ...and he took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her. This is the first mention of a woman being loved in the bible. This marriage is a beautiful picture of Christ's love for His Bride, the church. The imagery in this text reveals multiple infallible typologies that testify of Jesus' perfect love and what it requires to ha…

Hagar Is Dearly Loved By God 29:38

2y ago29:38

29:38

This world is made a mess by people claiming to follow God's plan. My own family included. None of this mess with Abraham was Hagar's idea. She was abused, used, and rejected... Yet she was dearly loved by God and blessed by Him. It makes me sick when some preachers disparage her and also her son because of the symbolism applied to them thousands o…

I Am So Depressed I Could Die 34:49

2y ago34:49

34:49

Deep Dark depression. Darkness that hurts so much you'd just assume die. I can’t feel God anymore! Ever feel like you're getting the silent treatment from God? Jesus can relate. Psalms 88:14 My soul cast off, Your face is hidden from Me. Why does God allow it? For what purpose?By Pastor Chad Dietz

God Far From Me 24:25

2y ago24:25

24:25

Do you ever feel like God is far from you? Christ experienced the same thing… but did the Father really forsake Him? Did Jesus need to be 'perfected'? Did Jesus have a lesson He needed to learn? Here we take an honest look at some of the most disturbing texts in the bible.By Pastor Chad Dietz

Was Jesus Flesh Tempted? Matthew 4 32:19

“Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil”. Do you ever feel in life like you are just along for the ride? If God is driving, what’s up with all the bumpy roads? How can we pray 'lead us not into temptation' when we lead ourselves there on purpose?By Pastor Chad Dietz

Is Believing Enough? John 1:12 30:40

2+ y ago30:40

John said you must 'receive Christ'. There is a BIG difference between 'believing' and 'receiving'. Accepting a truth does not mean you 'receive' it. I believe Joe Biden is President, I don't necessarily 'receive' it!

Angry Baptist Preacher 31:40

2+ y ago31:40

31:40

John the Baptist refused to baptize some people. Not until he saw some fruit of repentance. No wonder Baptist Preachers aren't very popular! Just because your daddy is a preacher, or your momma is the best Christian woman since Mother Mary herself, is no guarantee that you are a Christian yourself.By Pastor Chad Dietz

The Magi traveled for two years to see the Christ child. The locals couldn’t make it 6 miles down the road, even though the Bible makes it clear His birth was widely known .

Matthew begins the New Testament by introducing us to the lineage of Christ.
