1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves. 2 And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned; 3 and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
I can't overstate the damage those that by pride, poor understanding, and/or a desire to corrupt the Saints can do in a church and community. Come today and learn how to recognize and defend against those enemies of the Church and sound doctrine.
Tonight I will preach "topically" on a topic so many are distressed about. It's been a hard year. We thought we'd see better times just around the corner, but it looks to some like 2021 will be 2020s meaner sibling :P As Christians we all need to look at everything through the lens God gave us - Gods' Word. Let's take a good look tonight at current events and what it means to us.

Today lets' look at a huge misconception even among "bible scholars" about Christs Judgement Seat. If Jesus died to atone for all our sins - what's there to judge? Are we going to be stopped at "The Celestial Gates" and answer for all our deeds, good and bad, and then see which way the scales tip? I will clearly and definitively answer these questions and more today. Bring friends, they'll love you for it :)
Nameless visitors?
What does it mean when your visitor board records lots of visits but no names?

Herods' Temple aka The 2nd temple, has huge significance in several major religions, besides being a fascinating story in it's own right. Come poke into all the corners and learn all about life in the 1st century. The Temple Mount holds several secrets to be found, many even I have just learned during this build! Come visit today! hop://login.digiworldz.com:8002/Faith/129/16/1509
The clearest place where we see the beauty of Christ is in his word, the Bible. That is why the Holy Spirit inspired the word, so that we could read the word and know Christ. The Spirit gives us eyes to see the beauties of Jesus that call joy up out of our hearts. Please join us at 6PM grid time at Faith Chapel.
The last few months we've covered justification, sanctification, adoption, atonement, propitiation, regeneration, and salvation - this week I have a treat! Glorification of the Saints (that's you!) for eternity. A lot of people will groan and say "Oh, eternity will be so boring" but they're wrong! Come hear this thrilling, informative sermon on our eternal destiny at 10am grid time!
Tonight we will look at mortal governments and how our actions and attitudes should reflect our new nature in Christ.
Jesus said ‘I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, “You must be born again”’” (John 3:3-7). There are many interpretations of what this means among Christians. Let's look at what God tells us through scripture.
This year has been marked by tribulations all over the world. How are we, as Christians, to respond to these challenges? Lets look at what God tells us, in His Word. Expect a lively respectful discussion afterward.

Today we cover the doctrine of Adoption. God is committed to us. He has given us his name. He has made us his heirs, and solemnly pledged that as our heavenly Father, he will provide for us with the lavishness that befits his means as possessor of all the riches of glory (Philippians 4:19).
He has said, in effect, “From now on, you have nothing to worry about (Matthew 6:26). I will care for you (1 Peter 5:7), and if you do ever find yourself overtaken by anxiety, come and talk about it to me at once (Philippians 4:6–7). Always remember that I am your home, and that I will never disown you; and should you ever go astray, I will always take you back (Luke 15:20). My love will never let you go.”
Burying the Church is like burying Christ Jesus. The world tried that once, and look what happened. He is risen. He resurrected, and the Church does the same exact thing whenever they are put underground, and counted as dead. The world can make us go underground with our gatherings by making laws against Christians publicly worshipping, but we will only root deeper and wider.
The Church is like a white dandelion. The world and Satan blows on us to kill us, but little do they know that they have only helped further our cause. They did us a service by spreading us out to take root and grow in more areas than before.
God has always done this throughout history with His people. He has done it with His people as a whole, and He has done it with His people individually. Just when the visible Church seems to be buried with heresy, He sprouts up men like Martin Luther. And when it comes to us individually, the overwhelming sense of our weakness and sin may bury us at times, but God uses it for our growth.
Afflictions may bury us for a while, but God comes in His perfect time to raise us up.
All to His glory, amen.

Everywhere we see in the news and around us, natural disasters with increasing frequency, terrible hurricanes, massive fires consuming huge tracts of forest on every continent, social unrest, riots, senseless murders, even our own eventual and inevitable mortality - makes us wonder where is Gods' hand in all this, and is there a purpose? Tonight we find answers to this and more in Gods' Word.
Gods' Word is our anchor, our solace, it is our compass, and our defense. But do we listen? How do you hear the Word - with a hunger, with a desire to share with others? Matthew 7 says "The one who hears My Word and obeys it is like a man who builds his house upon the rock." Lets visit the Word this morning and establish our foundation on that Rock!
Even Jesus was tempted as shown in Mark 1:13 & Luke 4:1-13. Gods' Law is written on each of our hearts (Hebrews 4:15). So, and when a sinful temptation is introduced, our consciences immediately sense danger. But, the temptation itself is NOT the sin! Sin comes in when we yield to, or mishandle, that temptation. Tonight we will forge our weapons to deal with temptation properly. Bring fire :)
"As the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be." (Matthew 24:37) Compare the days of Noah with our modern times today and you'll notice the striking parallels. The parallels are astounding, and there is no doubt that God's judgment is not far off. Todays' message is about how Jesus was foreshadowed in the Flood narrative, and how the conditons today fit the prophecies. So let us pray that God will draw our hearts unto the things of the Spirit and free us from the bondage of corruption that holds the world in its grip. Todays service will be held at the Ark Exhibit! hop://login.digiworldz.com:8002/Faith/179/190/2010
Ephesians 6:10-18
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 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 stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
When you wake up in the morning and get ready for the day, you’re probably not thinking about stepping onto a battlefield. But the enemy is all around us, constantly assaulting our heart and mind with temptations, adversities, emotional attacks, and more. And some days, it feels as though we are standing on the front lines of combat with no protection whatsoever.
Therein lies our misunderstanding. You see, we do have protection. The Lord made provision for our nakedness in battle. He hasn’t sent us to war unprotected. Instead, He’s given us a suit of armor that the enemy can’t penetrate—the armor of God.
In today’s passage, the apostle Paul tells us step by step how to prepare for our daily warfare, and yet most Christians don’t pay much attention to the instruction. We may say, “Well, that’s a nice metaphor, but we shouldn’t take it literally. After all, the armor isn’t real.” Yes, it is. It is as real as the clothes on your back.
Do you want to see a dramatic change in your life? Do you want to stand strong in the face of adversity? Do you want to overcome temptation? Then you need to dress for battle.
I challenge you to intentionally put on your spiritual armor every day for the next seven days. Put on one piece at a time—the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth, the sandals of peace, the shield of faith, and the sword of the Spirit. Just try it as you meditate daily on Ephesians 6:10-18, and watch what God will do.
What will you do for Gods Kingdom? Which side will you take when people try to tear down the kingdom of God? Do you see how your own eternal destiny is bound up with what God is doing in the world today?
I hear all the time "Oh, that's not a REAL church", or "that's really just a game". Today I want to show how God planned this church before He laid the foundations of Creation. Even now, God is working in Faith Chapel, through it's members' faith and prayers. Join us this morning as we acknowlege Gods' work in this unique platform we call Opensim. Everyone is welcome!
Many Christians struggle with “nagging sins” — those entrenched, persistent, difficult-to-dislodge sins that continually entangle us in our efforts to follow Christ. Sometimes we struggle for decades, with bouts of backsliding and despair recurring. Tonight lets discuss what it takes to break those cycles and free ourselves and others.

Winston Churchill once stated, “Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.”
Jesus said to Thomas “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). He said “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31-32) The word "truth" is mentioned over 200 times in the New Testament. Come today and embrace the power and beauty of Truth as embodied in the Word.
Tonight we take a look at Pauls epistle to Thessalonica. Paul had to leave because of persecution from the Jews, but in it he describes how we are all connected by love one for another.
In the past few weeks we've discussed how to walk in the Spirit, how to work in the Spirit, and our rewards in our eternal home. This week we 'gird our loins' with practical tools of discernment, define our true state and station while in this present world, and learn how to deal with sin until we receive our glorified bodies and minds. It sounds like work, but think of it like driving a car. Before you've ever driven, you have to learn a few basic techniques. Once you've driven a while, it becomes second nature, you don't have to even think about it, it just "happens". But if you take your eyes of the road for a moment - instant calamity! Don't be discouraged! God uses our wrecks to make us even stronger, and smarter :) The trick is getting back behind the wheel!
The parable of the lost sheep in Luke 19:10 is a parable Jesus shared with his disciples to show us the heart of God and the mission of Christ - to seek and to save the lost. This story challenges us to look at our own hearts, to see God's heart, and to move with compassion to reach the lost with the hope of Christ. Sometimes, we become lost, as well. This is the story of being found :)
"Home is where your heart is" - we've always heard that, and if you are a Child of God, Heaven is your home! I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it is, but we can glean some things from Scripture. Heaven isn't a boring place, far from it! Join us for a biblical glimpse of our eternal home :)
Finally got the tiny pew! We love you tinies :)
WHY HAVE PEOPLE DISAPPEARED?
WHAT COMES AFTER THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH? WHAT SHOULD YOU DO NOW?
– OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST BROUGHT US TO HEAVEN TO SAVE US FROM THE WRATH TO COME. (1 THESSALONIANS 5:9)
– DO NOT TAKE ANY MARK ON YOUR HAND OR FOREHEAD. (MARK OF THE BEAST) (REVELATION 13:16) YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BUY, SELL, OR TRADE WITHOUT THIS MARK. (PROBABLY A RFID CHIP OR RFID TATTOO.)
– PUT ON THE FULL ARMOUR OF GOD. (EPHESIANS 6) READ THE BIBLE AND YOU WILL CLEARLY SEE WHY WE’RE GONE, WHERE WE WENT, AND HOW YOU CAN AVOID ETERNAL DAMNATION.
– THERE WILL BE A LOT OF DECEPTION AFTER WE’RE GONE.
– DO NOT TRUST THE GOVERNMENT, DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE WORLD LEADERS. BELIEVE ONLY IN YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST!
– THERE WILL BE A 7 YEAR TRIBULATION FULL OF THE WRATH OF GOD ON A SINFUL WORLD, ANTICHRIST RULING AND KILLING ANYONE WHO ACCEPTS JESUS DURING THIS TIME, A NEW WORLD ORDER, ONE WORLD RELIGION AND GOVERNMENT. AFTER 7 YEARS JESUS WILL RETURN AND DEFEAT HIS ENEMIES.
– AFTER JESUS DEFEATS HIS ENEMIES AND THROWS THEM INTO HELL FOR ETERNITY, HE WILL REIGN FOR 1000 YEARS. AFTER THAT HE WILL CREATE A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH.
– IF YOU’RE PUT TO DEATH FOR YOUR FAITH YOU WILL BE WITH JESUS THE MOMENT YOUR EARTHLY LIFE ENDS AND YOU WILL LIVE ETERNALLY IN PARADISE.
– WE TRIED TO WARN AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE COULD WHEN WE WERE STILL HERE. NOW WE’VE LEFT THIS BEHIND TO TRY AND SAVE THOSE WHO ARE LOST AFTER THE RAPTURE TAKES PLACE.
Revelation 3:10 – Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. 1 Thessalonians 4: 16-18 – For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Corinthians 15:52 – In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed
1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
BUT THERE IS STILL GOOD NEWS. YOU CAN STILL BE SAVED BY BELIEVING IN JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR. PRAY FOR STRENGTH DURING THIS TRYING TIME. LEAN ON GOD FOR STRENGTH AND PRAY ALWAYS FOR GUIDANCE. REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL. (1 CORINTHIANS 15: 1-4) JESUS LOVES YOU!
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
John 3:16 – 3:18 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Join us tonight at 8pm grid time for a delightful sermon on how grand our new home with Jesus will be!
The gifts of the Spirit enable and define our walk in this world. "But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love” it tells us in 1 Corinthians chapter 13, "Pauls Hymn of Love" - some say the deepest, and the purest, and the strongest aspect of spiritual life about which the apostle Paul ever wrote. This morning let's explore what that means for us and how we can apply that in every aspect of our lives.
“The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out” (Proverbs 20:5).
All people are made in the image of God. Each of us are born with a purpose and calling that we can discover or completely miss. The influence of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers gives us insight to His purposes for us. We find peace and courage when we sense the confirmation of the Spirit that we are in the right place at the right time of our designated calling.

Join us as we explore the nature of sin. What is sin? Join us this morning as we learn about this thing called sin and how to battle it in our lives.
John 3:15-16
That whoever believes in him may have eternal life. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Mark 13: 33 Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come. 34 It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake. 35 Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning— 36 lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. 37 And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.”
Billy Sunday once summed it up “Listen, I'm against sin. I'll kick it as long as I've got a foot, I'll fight it as long as I've got a fist, I'll butt it as long as I've got a head, and I'll bite it as long as I've got a tooth. And when I'm old, fistless, footless, and toothless, I'll gum it till I go home to glory and it goes home to perdition.” Sin is by nature a stalker. Just when you think you've dispatched it, it sneaks back up and whacks you in the back of the head. Join us this morning as we review how to defeat sin using the Word and the Spirit.
Normal Christian spirituality means living for God and walking with him in the midst of a hurting, broken, messy world. Jesus said normal Christian spirituality means letting your light shine into the midst of darkness. Jesus said: Go back into the darkness and form a community of my people who will reach out and shine my light into the darkness as they love one another."
A “walk” in the Bible is often a metaphor for practical daily living. The Christian life is a journey, and we are to walk it—we are to make consistent forward progress. The biblical norm for all believers is that they walk in the Spirit: “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” (Galatians 5:25, KJV; cf. Romans 8:14). In other words, the Spirit gave us life in the new birth (John 3:6), and we must continue to live, day by day, in the Spirit.
