Alma, now without his office of chief judge, becomes a traveling evangelist. He preaches to the church in the city in the valley of Gideon, who seemed to fare better than the church in the city of Zarahemla.Alma then tried to preach to the city of Ammonihah, but they threw him out. An angel eventually told him to go back. When he arrived, he met a guy named Amulek who took care of him for a while. Then, the two of them preached to the people of Ammonihah. The people and their lawyers do not appear to be receptive so far.Further research:Book of Mormon in videoJoseph Smith: The Prophet of the RestorationThe Book of Mormon online: Alma [chapters 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]Have questions for Truthspresso? Contact us!

The world can be a wild and unpredictable place. Along the way, we encounter people, places, and experiences that challenge us—sometimes in ways that threaten to change who we are at our core. If we’re not careful, these influences can shape us into something we were never meant to be.As I travel the country speaking to students and staff in schools, one message I emphasize repeatedly is this: ONE person can change the world.I know this firsthand because one person changed mine.Growing up, I attended a private school from first through eighth grade. But when I transitioned to a public high school, I was not well received. My freshman year was incredibly difficult—filled with loneliness, rejection, and uncertainty. I often tell schools across the country that I understand why kids hurt each other. Whether in school or in life, people can be mean. The way we treat one another matters. The words we speak, the kindness we show (or don’t show), and the way we acknowledge—or ignore—someone can completely shape their experience.By the end of my freshman year, I was exhausted and discouraged. I was ready to give up. Sensing my struggle, my father sat me down and walked me through Psalm 139—reminding me that God didn’t make a mistake in creating me. He told me that I was designed for a purpose, that I was placed in my mother’s womb for a reason. His words gave me a small boost of encouragement, but it wasn’t until a guy named Andy came into my life that everything truly changed.Andy had heard I could sing and asked if I wanted to join a band he was putting together. That simple invitation changed everything.Before that moment, I dreaded waking up every morning. After meeting Andy, I had a reason to get out of bed. He introduced me to the other guys in the band, and suddenly, I was part of something bigger than myself. I wasn’t an outcast anymore—I belonged. That one friendship shifted my entire high school experience.Looking back, I realize that Andy changed the room for me. And because of that, I made a decision: Everywhere I go, I want to be the person who changes the room instead of letting the room change me.One Person Can Change EverythingJust the other night, I heard a powerful testimony that reinforced this idea—that one person can change everything.The testimony came from a man who had spent time in prison. On his very first day in lock-up, another inmate approached him and gave him some unexpected advice:"This place has the power to change you. It’s like a pot of boiling water."Then he gave him three analogies:You can be like a carrot. The boiling water will make you soft, weak, and broken.You can be like an egg. The boiling water will harden you, making you bitter and cold.Or you can be like a coffee bean. The boiling water won’t change you—you’ll change the water.That one piece of advice transformed his entire experience. Instead of letting prison harden or break him, he chose to be the coffee bean. Today, he’s no longer a meth dealer—he’s a multi-millionaire motivational speaker who inspires others to rise above their circumstances.You Have the Power to Make a DifferenceNever underestimate the power of your presence, your words, and your actions.ONE person can change the world.So, never believe the lie that you don’t matter or that you can’t make a difference. Choose to be the person who changes the room—who brings hope, encouragement, and kindness wherever you go.Because the room doesn’t have to change you.You can change the room.You can now pickup my new book Change The Room: Don't Let The Room Change You Right here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FMXRRF7Q

The episode elucidates the necessity of intentionality in prayer and reflection as a means of combating the discouragement that often accompanies spiritual warfare. Lastly, the hosts affirm that understanding one's identity in Christ is crucial, as it provides a solid foundation against the lies and doubts that spiritual warfare can instigate.

This episode is part 21 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.This episode covers chapters 1-5 of the book of Alma. Under the new "reign of the judges" the Nephites in Zarahemla find prosperity, but also growing problems of heresies. First, a prosperity preacher named Nehor kills a guy and faces death. Then, a guy named Amlici gets a huge following and creates the Amlicites.The Amlicites join forces with the Lamanites and fight the Nephites several times. Although the Nephites are victories, they have to lick their wounds. The church grows stronger but some lose their humility. Alma the Elder preaches a sermon that reeks of American revivalism and, of course, plagiarized passages from the New Testament.Further research:Book of Mormon in videoJoseph Smith: The Prophet of the RestorationThe Book of Mormon online: Alma [chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]Have questions for Truthspresso? Contact us!

Sermon Outline: Jude 1:1-2 (The Marks of A True Christian) The CalledIntroductionNew series: walking through the book of Jude (one chapter, but deeply relevant).Warnings: false teachers infiltrating churches with watered-down doctrine.Today’s focus: Jude 1:1 — identity, calling, and assurance in Christ.1. Jude’s Identity (v.1a)“Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James…”Servant/Bondservant of ChristTerm also used by Paul and James.Means total surrender — either a slave to Christ or a slave to self.Slave to self = never satisfied; slave to Christ = true fulfillment.Brother of JamesJude establishes credibility—linked to James, half-brother of Jesus.Authority matters in warnings against false teachers.Application: Where is your identity rooted? In self or in Christ?2. The Audience (v.1b)“To those who are called…”The Called of GodGod has always called His people (Isaiah 43:1–2).Christians are chosen, redeemed, and set apart to glorify God.Encouragement of SalvationHebrews 7:25 — Jesus lives to intercede for us.Eternal Advocate = eternal security.Application: If you are in Christ, you are called, known, and held by God.3. The Assurance (v.1c)“…beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ.”Loved by God the FatherHis love is the foundation of our calling.Kept for Jesus ChristBelievers are safe and secure in Him.Eternal security isn’t man’s idea—it’s God’s promise.Warning: This only applies to true believers.Shallow prayers, church attendance, or “asking Jesus into your heart” ≠ true conversion.True salvation = repentance, faith, and surrender to Christ alone.Application: Don’t play church—get serious about eternity.4. The Mission of the Church (Colossians 1:28)Proclaim Christ — the center of all preaching.Warn everyone — judgment for sin is real.Teach maturity — help believers grow into Christlikeness.Application:Assurance flows from maturity.Childlike faith ≠ childish faith.Open your Bible. Read. Obey. Grow.5. The Danger of Neglecting the WordMany avoid Scripture because it confronts sin.Comfortable flesh resists God’s truth.True peace and assurance come only by:Making war on sin.Trusting Christ’s finished work on the cross.Walking daily in obedience to His Word.ConclusionJude begins with encouragement: called, loved, and kept in Christ.But this only belongs to true believers.Eternity is real—don’t play games with your soul.Main Call: Open your Bible. Trust Christ. Live as one who is called, loved, and kept.

Don’t Waste Our OpportunityText: 2 Corinthians 5:10–210. The Reality of the Judgment Seat (v. 10)For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.Believers’ judgment is not for condemnation (Romans 8:1 makes that clear).This judgment is unto reward—the Bema Seat of Christ.Rewards will vary; greater faithfulness in following Christ will result in greater reward.This reality should fuel urgency in how we live and serve now.1. The Fear of the Lord Fuels Our Mission (v. 11)Right View of God – Most people, even believers, lack a healthy, reverent fear of God.RC Sproul: “A healthy, reverent fear of Christ’s displeasure at the choices we often make is a healthy corrective.”Fear leads to wise choices – A balanced, reverential fear inspires holiness and accountability.Persuading Others – Not manipulation, but heartfelt appeal to accept the gospel.2. Why We’re Here: Making Disciples (v. 11b, Col. 1:28)Our mission: Proclaim Christ, warn, and teach with wisdom.Goal: Present everyone mature in Christ.God knows our motives—half-hearted service is not hidden from Him.3. Avoid Ministry Pride (v. 12)Not about programs or showing off ministry “success.”John MacArthur: False teachers take pride in outward appearance, not sincere hearts.Our focus: advancing Christ’s Kingdom, not our image.4. Willing to Be Called Crazy (v. 13–15)Paul was seen as extreme—so will we be if we truly live for Christ.The love of Christ controls us—His death changes everything.True disciples stop living for themselves and live for the One who died and rose again.Until the cross becomes personal, our lives and loyalties won’t change.5. A New Way of Seeing (v. 16–17)Salvation is a total transformation—we are new creations.The old is gone; the new has come.New life means new priorities, new purpose, new mission.6. Entrusted with the Message (v. 18–19)We are reconciled to God through Christ.God has given us the ministry of reconciliation—to tell others they can be forgiven.We are message carriers with eternal news.7. Ambassadors for the King (v. 20–21)Ambassador role: We speak on Christ’s behalf—eternal stakes are on the line.This is not a casual invitation—it’s a divine summons to be reconciled to God.Our mission field is not just overseas—it’s across the street.8. Call to ActionStop wasting time on what doesn’t matter eternally.Get serious about evangelism and discipleship.Have a big vision for your church—if you don’t, who will?

Andrew Rapaport kicks things off with a heartfelt discussion about the importance of serving Christ worldwide, bringing in a special guest, Timothy Hock, affectionately known as Timo.

In this sermon, Adam preaches on the continuation of spiritual gifts, walking through 1 Corinthians 13:8–12 to show that the “perfect” refers to seeing Jesus face-to-face, not the completion of Scripture. He shares a powerful healing testimony, addresses the cessationist viewpoint with respect, and builds a strong biblical case for why the gifts are still necessary for the church today. We hope and believe this message will impact your life powerfully.

The Lord Is My Shepherd: Life Is Better This WayText: Psalm 23Main Idea: When Christ is truly your Shepherd, you lack nothing—and life takes on a new peace, purpose, and power.IntroductionThe “Danger” of FamiliaritySteve Farrar calls Psalm 23 one of the most dangerous Psalms because we’ve grown too familiar with it.Familiarity can dull the meaning and power of God’s Word.Fresh Eyes: Today we’ll revisit this passage and let it cut through the routine, so it can transform our lives.I. When Christ Is Our Shepherd, Our Desires Shift (Psalm 23:1)Bold Declaration: “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.”Not just words—this is a life posture.Shift in Desires: No need for worldly success, constant validation, or anxious striving.Reality Check: Many claim Jesus is their foundation but live in panic when trials hit.Sheep Analogy: Sheep are defenseless, prone to filth, and often foolish—completely dependent on their shepherd.Illustration: Sheep in a ditch rescued, then immediately jumping back in—just like us sometimes.Application: Depend fully on the Shepherd; repent quickly when you fail. (James 3:8–10)II. The Danger of Misplaced Expectations (Psalm 23:2–3)In Marriage: Many love transactionally, expecting a “return” for service.When expectations aren’t met, frustration leads to anger, bitterness, and destruction.Biblical Order: When Christ is center—peace follows.He leads, restores, guides.III. God Is Not Just Good in Theory—He’s Good in Practice (Psalm 23:4)Living Like He’s Good:Marriage becomes discipleship, not just maintenance.Parenting becomes shepherding hearts, not just correcting behavior.Church becomes joy, not duty.In Valleys: Life’s darkest moments don’t bring fear because the Shepherd is near.IV. The Shepherd’s Presence Is Our Power (Psalm 23:4–5)Our Limits: We aren’t strong, wise, or patient enough—but He is.Order of the Shepherd’s Care:He leads, protects, disciplines, prepares, pursues.Discipline as Love: Like a shepherd breaking a wandering sheep’s leg to save it.Christ’s discipline means you belong to Him (Hebrews 12:6).Knowing His Voice (John 10:24–29): Sheep know the shepherd because they’re constantly with Him.V. Final Challenge: Recenter Your Life on Jesus (Psalm 23:6)Root Problems: Marriages, joy, and peace often fail because Jesus is not at the center.Life-Altering Reality: “I shall not want” is not a coffee mug slogan—it’s a way of life.Stop placing on others what only Christ can fulfill.Let Christ be your Shepherd—in home, marriage, business, and daily life.Conclusion & InvitationIf Jesus is your Shepherd:Follow Him.Trust Him.Build your life on Him alone.Promise: “I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever” is for today—not just eternity.Life is better this way.Prayer.
