In the fifth episode of "Kinds of Unbelief," Duane Sheriff teaches that two critical types of unbelief can hinder our growth and relationship with God. The first is the rejection of Jesus and the cross - a fundamental unbelief that can separate us from God's love. The second challenge many of us struggle with is a lack of knowledge. We're reminded of the man in Mark 3:23 who cried, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief." This powerful scripture illustrates our struggles and the importance of seekin...

In the fourth episode of "Kinds of Unbelief," Duane Sheriff teaches that there are different kinds of unbelief and each has its cure. The most critical form of unbelief is the rejection of Jesus. The Holy Spirit's primary role is to convict the world of this sin of unbelief. Examining a little deeper, we see that believing in Jesus is not just about avoiding condemnation but embracing the light He brings into our lives. This light represents the revelation and understanding of Jesus and what He ...

In the third episode of "Kinds of Unbelief," Duane Sheriff teaches the powerful concepts of belief and unbelief. Our faith is often tested in life's challenges, not God's ability or willingness to help. In James 1, a double-minded person who wavers between belief and unbelief is "like the sea tossed to and fro" and should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. We explore the intriguing parallel in Deuteronomy 22, about not mixing different seeds in a field, demonstrating how we should be ...

In the second episode of "Kinds of Unbelief," Duane Sheriff teaches that the key is to "believe only" and stand firm in faith despite circumstances. We sow seeds of faith through our words and actions. Avoid the pitfall of mixing faith with unbelief. Just as Deuteronomy 22 warns against mixing different seeds or animals, we're called to cultivate pure faith. This isn't about perfection bu...

In the new series "Kinds of Unbelief," Duane Sheriff explores the complex relationship between faith and unbelief. Using Mark 9 as a foundation, we examine the story of a father who brought his demon-possessed son to Jesus after the disciples failed to heal him. The father's famous words, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief" (Mark 9:24), illustrate how Christians often struggle with believing and doubting simultaneously. Jesus responded to that father: "If you can believe, all things are possible...

Duane teaches that "The New Reformation" is occurring, and believes the church is experiencing a "third great awakening." He compares several bible stories with the same patterns to what is happening in our culture today. When God judged Sodom and Gomorrah, it wasn't just about one sin. Ezekiel 16:49 tells us they were also guilty of pride, selfishness, and ignoring those in need. God judges a nation by the righteousness of His people, not their unrighteousness. In 2 Chronicles 7:14, God promise...

In the eleventh episode of "The Power Of Truth," Duane Sheriff teaches the unwavering nature of God's Word. The church stands as the pillar and ground of truth in a world that often rejects the concept of absolute truth. A key to absolute truth is that there is one God, and we are not Him. "The Word became flesh" is an unshakable reality, as outlined in scriptures like John 1:14. This truth underscores the divine role of Jesus, who is God-made flesh, the Creator who entered into His creation to ...

Romans 13:11-12 calls Christians to "awake out of sleep" and cast off the "works of darkness" by putting on the "armor of light."

The story of Eve's deception in Genesis 3 is a powerful reminder of how subtle lies can lead us astray.

Marriage is not a human-made institution but a divine creation. Duane Sheriff teaches why God created marriage and the purpose of marriage from a biblical perspective. Genesis 2:18 God declares, "It is not good that the man should be alone" and creates a helper suitable for him - a woman.

The culture h...

The church should...

Today, many people misunderstand the purpose of marriage. Duane Sheriff teaches why it is important to understand God's design for marriage rather than listening to the culture's misconceptions. Marriage does not exist to make us happy, complete, or to escape troubles. Instead, it should be a relationship centered around God's principles. According to Colossians 2:9-10, we are already complete in Christ and shouldn't look to another person to make us whole. This scripture teaches that in Jesus "...

Do you realize that God's love for us is not based on our performance or behavior but on His character and promises?

In this new covenant, God writes His laws on the hearts and min...
