The Communist Manifesto that was written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848, is the foundational basis for today’s push toward Socialism. One of their proposals was to abolish the family, which they knew would eventually destroy the effectiveness of the church, which would eventually destroy man’s concept of God, which would eventually destroy the moral virtues of society. Here we are – this is what it looks like when the god of this age is in charge, and he is using every weapon in his arsenal to accomplish that goal.

This is the subject of our next sermon in this series on Spiritual Warfare. The title is “Satan’s Attack on the Family.”

Speaking of “The Day of the Lord,” in Zechariah 12:3, God said, “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” And, in Zechariah 12:9, God said, “And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.”

Hidden within the much-celebrated peace deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia, is the “bitter pill” of dividing the land of Israel between the Jews and the Arabs, and the current administration of the United States of America is DEMANDING it. Perhaps someone needs to remind them of Joel 3:2, where the Lord said: “I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there on behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; and they have divided up My land.”

Beloved, God has not abandoned His chosen people. We will see the reasons for that in tonight’s study: “Israel, and the purposes of God,” or “What is so special about Israel?”

There are 130+ parallels between the life of Joseph and the life of Jesus. God used the life of Joseph to illustrate His plan to place the Israelites in the Promised Land at the right time for the Messiah’s birth. (Galatians 4:4)

Joseph is a perfect portrait of Jesus Christ, and we will unveil that portrait in our next sermon in the series, “Follow the Lamb.”

Dear Heritage Family,

Over the last 6,000 years, Satan has integrated his evil agenda into the 12 major operational systems of the world, so much so he now completely controls the political, educational, religious, and entertainment venues of the world.

This is the subject of our next sermon in this series on Spiritual Warfare. The title is “The god of this World,” #2 – five ways Satan imitates God in the world today.

Just like the disciples in their day, so many Christians in our day want to know the timing of Biblical prophecy. We will attempt to answer that question in our Wednesday night Bible Study: “Israel, and the purposes of God,” or “What is so special about Israel?”

Sunday evening, at 6:00 PM, we will continue our sermon series, “Follow the Lamb,” tracing the types, examples, and illustrations of the Lamb of God in the Old Testament.
In our next sermon, we will look at a few of the examples in the Book of Exodus, beginning with Moses.

Over the years, Satan has stealthily integrated his evil agenda into the operational systems of the world. Today, he all but dominates the political, religious, and educational systems of our society. In other words, this is what it looks like with Satan as the god of this world.

However, Satan is not done yet. Satan’s goal is to convert his temporal dominion into a global political kingdom through which he will rule the whole world. To achieve that goal, he must persuade the world leaders to move toward the unification of all mankind under a one-world government and condition the world to accept and submit to a new world order and a one-world leader. In effect, the god of this world is setting the stage for the arrival of the Antichrist.

This is the subject of our next sermon in this series on Spiritual Warfare. The title is “The god of this World.”

Dear Heritage Family and Friends,

As we consider the amount of suffering the Jews have endured over the years for rejecting Jesus as the Messiah, is it possible to define one particular event, action, or attitude that caused them to suffer such tribulations and triaWe will attempt to answer that question in tonight’s Bible Study: “Israel, and the purposes of God,” or as I have renamed it: “What is so special about Israel?” This will be study number five in the series.

We will continue our sermon series, “Follow the Lamb,” tracing the types, examples, and illustrations of the Lamb of God in the Old Testament.

In Genesis 3:15, God promised Satan that one day the “seed” of Eve would crush the Serpent’s head! God also promised Adam and Eve, one would come through the seed of Eve who would be their Redeemer.

He would be a human; born of a virgin girl who conceived Him by the power of the Holy Spirit.
He would be Deity, and yet willingly give His life to pay the penalty for every man’s sin so the separation between God and man could be removed.

That “seed” of  Eve became that “Holy Thing” in Mary’s womb, who was Jesus Christ our Savior, the “Lamb of God.”

According to the Pew Research Center, 7% of the world’s population – 450-500 million people are atheist, i.e., they do not believe in God. Adding those people who are agnostic or just irreligious, the number rises to 16.5% of the population or over 1.1 billion people. Atheism is on the rise today, especially among 18–29-year-olds.

Among the reasons given for the rise in atheism is the problem of evil. Their question is, if God is the compassionate and gracious God the Bible says He is, how could He have designed a world filled with natural evil, or how could He allow man’s inhumanity to man to cause such suffering? They conclude that God doesn’t exist orHe cannot be a God of love.

Beloved, even many Christians do not understand the power of the curse, the presence of evil, and the person of the devil, which is the title of next Sunday’s sermon.
