Pastor Dean continues this series with an in-depth look at pride. We all think of ourselves more than we ought to, and need to constantly set our minds on Jesus Christ. The smallest amount of pride in your heart pulls you away from the Lord; beware and be humbled! "Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom." Proverbs 13:10

Pastor Dean preaches on the heart of depravity and how the love of money always leads to corruption. "But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matthew 6:20-21

Pastor Dean preaches about righteousness and holiness, without which no man can see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14). Choosing to follow Jesus means that we must stay in a relationship with Him and remain on the straight (righteous) path. Protect your heart from the evils of this world; be diligent so the Lord may find no guile. "Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, no...

A hardened heart can damage a saved person just as much as someone who is not saved. Pastor Dean continues his series about the heart of mankind by warning Christians to keep their hearts set on God's will instead of justifying their own wills, as Judas did. "But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin." Hebrews 3:13

Pastor Dean continues preaching about what the Bible says about men's hearts, focusing on envy and the idol of self. Do not look to esteem yourself above others or continually strive to make your own successes your idol. Let what God gives you be enough. "Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. Galatians 5:26"

Jeremiah wrote, "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked..." Too often, we lean towards trusting our own logic/emotions rather than being led by God's Spirit. Pastor Dean preaches about the heart's true nature as described in scripture. Use God's word, the Sword of the Spirit, to differentiate between your soulish desires and the true desires of God. "I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit ...

Some people look and talk just like true Christians, but looking closer, you see they are teaching false doctrine and sowing division. Pastor Dean preaches about those who claim to know the truth but act as if they are working for God's kingdom, but are actually working for the enemy (the "other team"). Do not let false teachers lead you away from hard truths; the slothful servant WAS cast into outer darkness! "There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from ...

Pastor Dean preaches about the dangerous and growing worship of Artificial Intelligence. As the growing evil increases, Christians must increase their faith and trust in the Lord. No matter what type of threats come your way, Jesus will be with you through the fire! "He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God." Daniel 3:25

Noah had faith in the Lord and prepared for things that were yet to come because of His warning. Pastor Dean warns God's people about the evil coming and our duty to be prepared, just like Noah. As the ant prepares all summer for the coming winter, we must assemble ourselves to survive the foreseen tribulation. "A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished." Proverbs 22:3

Satan does not concern himself with Christians who have no spiritual impact. Pastor Dean preaches about witchcraft, spiritual warfare, and our obligation to the battle as born-again Christians. The weapons of our warfare must be used daily to war against the evils of this world and fight to save souls for God's kingdom. Don't go onto the battlefield in your pajamas! "Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stan...

Do you truly know the word of God? Pastor Dean preaches about the great deception that is ramping up and will cause many to fall away. Our only defense against being deceived is by memorizing and meditating on the Holy Bible; do not think you are above deception without the guidance of Jesus Christ! "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnish...

Are you allowing fear or mistakes from your past to hold you back from moving forward on God's path? Pastor Dean preaches about having faith like Moses did to do as God commands without worrying about the obstacles ahead or turning back. "And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God." Luke 9:62

Pastor Nancy preaches about the importance of dying to ourselves daily. Christians should continually seek humility, pray for their enemies, and love one another above loving themselves. How can you be better about thinking of yourself less and loving others more? "I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily." 1 Corinthians 5:31

Pastor Dean addresses the Jesuit Order and their conspiracies to commit murder and promote their evil agenda. The Catholics are still pushing their idolatrous beliefs and trying to gain more followers in the younger generations. Stand firm against the Whore of Babylon and be bold in protesting against her. "The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion." Proverbs 28:1

Pastor Dean preaches about faith amidst martyrdom and the increasing hatred of Christians in America. Jesus warned us that there would be persecution in the last days. Will you have faith to endure? "For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee." Isaiah 60:2

Pastor Dean preaches about the supernatural gift of faith that God gives us in His power and how it differentiates between faith that is a fruit of the Spirit. " For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith." Romans 12:3

Pastor Dean continues his series on faith, focusing on the power of our words. We all need to choose to trust Jesus over letting the world rule us with fear. The Lord wants us to trust Him when we don’t understand why we’re in the storm, which is what builds strong faith. Lay down in God’s green pasture, not the world’s pig pen. “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.” Colossians 3:15

Pastor Dean preaches about the distinction between dead faith and living faith. Many people allow themselves to grow lukewarm or cold on the inside while presenting themselves as an on-fire believer. Stay close to Jesus so you can hear even when He whispers, don't be like Dead Fred! "Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? “But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? ...Ye see then how that by works a man is justif...

Pastor Dean preaches about the poisonous effects of offense in the church and emphasizes that confronting an issue is always better than allowing resentment to grow in your heart. "Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.” Proverbs 15:10

This is a continuation from last week's sermon: Guard Your Children Pastor Dean preaches about how habitual sin corrupts us, spiritually and physically. The reason we need to guard our children so closely is because gross corruption is everywhere. Do not let your guard down! "Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroye...
