Hi! I'm Moses from Nigeria. I'd love to get to know you better and learn more about American culture.

I do this with almost every teaching of his. He speaks from such a place of maturity and settled thought that it takes me a while to catch up having listened several times.

Please can I get 43:40 to 44:40. I don't know how to clip and save.

[@jacquechanofficial]

Just curious, but is there a way to access the original sermons? Not pieced together sermons, but one whole sermon. I feel like I used to hear them in their original form, but lately I hear cut versions?

AI !!!?

Believing you can lose your salvation is the same thing as believing you can earn it: you're trusting YOURSELF (works). Instead, we must trust CHRIST ALONE. Understand this, read The Word through the lens of this foundational/cornerstone truth, and just watch what happens. We must remember to never let our minds “be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” (2 Corinthians 11:3). Take care friends IN CHRIST.

[@pastorjonathan4300]

Losing your salvation and walking away from it is two different things. The prodigal son had all he ever needed in his father's house but he lost it all when he went after the desires of the flesh. Praise God the Father is always there to take us back when we return. To make someone think they can live any way they desire and still be saved is very dangerous doctrine and not biblical. God bless you

[@AaronRosebrock]

​@@pastorjonathan4300But the prodigal son never ceased to be a son...because that would be impossible. All believers have TWO NATURES- the spirit and the flesh. As Jesus explains to Nicodemus- “that which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit” (John 3:6). The moment you trust Jesus Christ ALONE as your Savior, you are “sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance” (Ephesians 1:13-14). You are “born again” (John 3:7), but it is a spiritual birth into the family of God. As Paul explains, “you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:26). This new birth is of “incorruptible seed” (1 Peter 1:23) and “cannot sin” (1John 3:9). You are, then, forever a child of God. He will “never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). You will never be “cast out” (John 6:2). Furthermore, to those who have trusted Him as Savior, Jesus says “no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand” (John 9:31). This would include YOU yourself. In other words, you can't lose your salvation once you have it. Remember, it’s “by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, NOT OF WORKS, lest anyone should boast” (Ephesians 2: 8-9). Anyway, nothing imperfect can enter into heaven, which is why “flesh and blood CANNOT inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 15:50). Here, Paul continues by explaining that “nor does corruption inherit incorruption.” Thankfully, as we remember, our new birth is of “incorruptible seed” (1 Peter 1:23). Your new birth (your spiritual nature), then, is forever perfect. You are eternally secure (going to heaven no matter what) because there are now no sins to pay for. (You can't KNOW you're going to heaven until you know you CAN’T go to hell). Why can't you go to hell once you've trusted Christ as Savior? Simple, because… Christ Paid For My Sins (ALL of them- past, present, and future). So yeah, let's choose to walk “in spirit and truth” (John 4:24), and not give the flesh the attention it seeks. So, WHEN you happen to sin (and we ALL do as long as we're on this earth), because “if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us” (1 John 1:8)...just know you were walking in the flesh instead of the Spirit. Remember, if we pretend like “we have not sinned, we make Him a liar” (1 John 1:10). When you sin, then, that doesn't mean you're now going to hell (remember, your new birth is spiritual and CANNOT be revoked). It just means you were focusing on temporal things instead of eternal things. This is the power of your new identity in Christ: you are forever a child of God (and so going to heaven). Let's live our lives like we actually believe it. Let's have boldness and joy in proclaiming this Good News! Let's not let our “minds be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ” (2 Corinthians 11:3). After all, the one, true Gospel IS simple, and here it is: CHRIST PAID FOR MY SINS (past, present, and future). The very moment you believe/accept that he paid for YOURS, you can be SURE that you're going to heaven. Meditate on that, and it becomes easier to walk in the Spirit instead of the flesh. Take care friend.
