Wednesday evening 8-26-2026 The sermon argues for the literal, divine nature of Jesus Christ's blood as essential for salvation and cleansing from sin. The speaker critiques theologians like John MacArthur who interpret biblical references to blood merely as metaphors for death. By examining passages in Acts, Romans, Hebrews, and Revelation, the text asserts that the physical blood of Christ is God's own blood, purchased with divine power. This doctrine stands in direct opposition to views that diminish the saving efficacy of the literal substance shed on the cross. The central message emphasizes that redemption relies on the incorruptible blood of Jesus rather than abstract concepts of sacrifice.

The sermon argues for intelligent design by highlighting the intricate complexity of human DNA as evidence of God's authorship, directly refuting evolutionary theory. It draws parallels between the structured coding of genetic material and biblical truths, emphasizing that every individual is a purposeful 'living stone' in God's spiritual house. The preacher warns against theological skepticism and cultural shifts that undermine the family unit, urging believers to trust in their divine significance rather than secular narratives. Ultimately, the message affirms that human existence is intentional and sacred, inviting listeners to find comfort and identity in their created value.

DON'T TRUST ANY PREACHER/PASTOR who wants you to be "DRUNK IN THE SPIRIT". Drunkenness in a physical or a spiritual state is forbidden in the Bible, and a drunken spirit is a sure sign the Holy Ghost has left a church, ministry, preacher or teacher. Don't be fooled! The sermon urges believers to gird up the loins of their minds and remain spiritually sober in anticipation of the revelation of Jesus Christ. It contrasts this biblical call with a pervasive 'drunken spirit' found in modern charismatic excess, Eastern mysticism, and false doctrines that distort scripture. The speaker argues that God allows this spiritual intoxication as judgment upon those who reject narrow scriptural interpretation in favor of subjective experience or cultural trends. By examining passages from Isaiah and Second Thessalonians, the text warns that leaders and congregations who embrace these delusions will be blinded to truth and unable to discern the coming day of Christ. Ultimately, the message calls for a return to strict adherence to the Word of God, rejecting any teaching that compromises biblical clarity or holiness.
