Praise God, I'm favoured only God knows how much I praise Him, $230k every 4weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God’s work and the church.
@MarianoAldrete God tests your strength by making us poor. However, He tests our conscience by making us rich. Nothing in this world; a house, 9-digit paychecks, a good life, can compare to Him and His Kingdom. Your riches are a test, make sure not to fail Him.
I'm happy because It's good to have a trusted professional like Mrs Mary Margaret Schimweg services handling your investments because every week when I receive my profit I feel like I didn't even work a day to get this far in life, having a wonderful family of 6 and paid off my loans I have in the past looking forward to retirement!! Life is good when you have the cash pooping in 😊
I have been saved for 6 months. I am blessed that the very first church I went to was extremely solid and biblical. I thank God that he directed me to a good fellowship.
Nobody ever asks why Napoleon is buried in France 🇫🇷 or George Washington in the USA 🇺🇸 Similarly, it's evident why remains of the apostles rest in Catholic churches 🇻🇦
Baby Christian here! I was raised to go to church but we went to mega churches (I never felt right about some of them) and I attended a Pentecostal church (Not gonna say anything negative) but I never felt at home with any other church than the one I attend now. I was baptized at my current church a year ago and I felt welcome and loved as soon as I started going there. It took me some time to fully experience and understand Jesus’s love, it hurts but feels great at the same time. That’s how I can describe what I felt when I opened the door to my heart for him. If you happen to read this far, thank you. If you want to know what life is like for me now since being baptized and having that change of heart and mind, I’ll tell you it’s not easy nor is it always this feeling of ecstasy. The feeling of turning back or ‘back-sliding’ is always there but you have to keep yourself in prayer and reading the Bible. If I can give anyone advice that was shared with me by my future father in law, being a Christian is not a sprint, it’s a marathon. Some people will take advantage of your kindness and your willing to give but always remain vigilant about it. Have a blessed day/life.
I was part of a cult better known as Shincheonji Church of Jesus. Everything you described is what they do. They discredit other churches and Bible speakers so you only depend on Lee Man Hee for the word, they isolate you, and just overall confuse you. I pray 🤲 no one falls into their trap. Be blessed 💛
I joined their bible study during april and at first didn't see anything wrong with their doctrines..when I was about to write an exam and told my coordinator that I needed a break to study he kept asking me to join the zoom classes. After a while it started to feel suffocating and I decided to look the church up and after reading about how it's ex-worshippers called the church a cult, I fled and never looked back. I'm super glad I didn't get too far into it.
You made a correct decision, I was part of them to. They say that your salvation only comes from there church and basically you're on your way to hell if you go to another church.
Wow just like the Watchtower and Tract society Organization of Jehovah's witness I'm am truly grateful to get out but now it's time to get closer with God again and focus on getting baptized 😞☺️💗✝️🙏🏽🙌🏽
Yes i went in a church where the Holy Spirit was always telling to go to a different one, then he guided me to the one where im going now and its the best one , i can feel God presence everytime!!
Try feeling the presence of God when He tells you not to sin, that is the Holy Spirit convicting you. It is not about feeling God's presence, but hearing His voice. People can do drugs and say the same thing or be listening to Rock and Roll "Christian" music, which is worldly praise.
A couple of years I had to leave a church that did not fit into the criteria in this video. Now I am blessed by a church that fits all the way and it really has helped me grow. What church you go to really matters
Last church I went to they put a gay trans flag on the cross. I got so offended I ran up to it ripped it off. I got chased out and banned from the church. Good riddance to the hard left liberal churches that preach blasphemy. I'm not against people choosing to be that way but don't disrespect God and his teachings. @@noName-kn1lx
@@yutupedia7351it's important to note that what you wrote (despite being true) is just in a small minority, caused by the fact that every orthodox church is basically "indipendent" from the others, and that might cause problems of that type.
We moved to a new area just before Covid, and instead of going to find a church right away I’ve opted to hold Bible study on Sunday with my family so they can be strengthened before we set out as a family and seek a church out. I want every member of my house hold to be able to spot falsehoods and tell for themselves if this is the right place for them. Thank you for the video. God bless y’all.
I go to a church that regularly has Wednesday prayer meetings. In one of our prayer meetings, we invited a guest who was doing missions in Indonesia, and he really pointed out how much he appreciated how we were a praying church, and that praying churches are the kinds of churches we need more of. It's a good feeling to know that your church is unique compared to other churches. You can't change the world if you look just like the world! 🙏
@@rebelo2025 rude prayers in tongue work. My sciatica got healed that way I saw a women in a wheelchair get up and walk. You support a false god. It’s in the Bible stupid “If any of you are suffering, they should pray. If any of you are happy, they should sing. If any of you are sick, they should call for the elders of the church, and the elders should pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord. Prayer that comes from faith will heal the sick, for the Lord will restore them to health. And if they have sinned, they will be forgiven. For this reason, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous person is powerful in what it can achieve.” James 5:13-16 CEB
As a Christian who has been going off the rails a lot I came across your videos and was so blessed by the visuals. I like pictures and scriptures together as it paints an everlasting image of how the Gods people like myself has backslid and fallen through the cracks of sin. Please pray for me to become the person Jesus wants me to be, thank you for creating this content God bless you!
Thank you for this video I stopped going to church 3 years ago because the church I was going to started worshipping a certain political figure rather then Christ. Lately it has been put upon my heart to get myself back to God’s house. I am praying for a biblical based evangelical church.
I'm not in this church but look up "cavalry chapel Chuck smith". Dude wrote a book that is really good and only reason I say that is because using his name will lead you to the calvary chapel I'm thinking of. Anyway there evangelical church that teaches the bible cover to cover. They have planted many churches across the US so I use them because they are one of the churches I know that has many locations that is good. I'm sure if you pray God may lead you to another church but hey maybe he wants to use this comment too and you'll find a calvary chapel in your city!
So so so so so good! It's crucial to realize that just because some mega church has hundreds, or even thousands, of attendees, that doesn't automatically mean it's a good church. If you're not growing closer to God, you're dying as you (even unknowingly) drift away.
True, theres churchs around us that the pastor just shows up on a TV and it broadcasts to all the other churchs that are the same, i thought that was super weird, id imagine most do not personally know, nor have met their lead pastor
Nor, conversely, does it mean that a very large church is a “bad” church. There are reasons people attend and support large churches/ministries and they aren’t all bad.
Thank you for sharing this. The one thing that I miss about a good church is when they had Wednesday night services. They're always so much fun and it helped keep me balanced. Every church I've been to I've asked "Do you have services on Wednesday evenings?" There are reply is "No,we don't,we do youth meetings on Wednesdays night only." Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that they have something going for the youth but I miss being about the entire family.
DEAR Charlana Blessings to you and family Hun.in agreement with you.may God Grant you your Hearts desires and may Your Dreams come TRUE Sweetheart in JESUS NAME With MUCH LOVE 💕 From Somewhere in OKLAHOMA 🙏🌹🙏
Can't follow God alone though I'm afraid. The call to follow God is a call to follow God in his body. Heb 10:24 states "dont forsake meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but rather encourage each other towards love and good deeds." It may be hard and take time but fhrough prayer and actionable faith you'll find a church that teaches the bible and follows him together.
What you explained just gave me more faith in the church I attend in San Antonio, Texas! Cornerstone teaches the truth and believes in the power of prayer along with the uncomprimising word of God!
I'm 26 years old and I still love this animations and how detailed this videos are... I'm very visual learner so this animations helps alot to focus on what I'm hearing. ♥️💯 And I'm grateful that I was bless with a (Non-nomination) 100% word guided church. I have been able to grow in my relationship with God and living a Holy life.
So lucky to say my church is a good church! So blessed it was one of the first churches I ever checked out when God stirred my heart. And it’s just down the road, God is good! 🙌🏻
Praise God, I'm favoured only God knows how much I praise Him, $230k every 4weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God’s work and the church.
Honestly this was extremely helpful, in two ways. The first way is that I 100% know my church is a great one, and that we do focus on prayer often. The second way is that I plan to start a church by the name of Bush on Fire Ministries, but I’ll need guidance before I start. This honestly helped me out with exactly that. Thanks for the video, it was really helpful. May God bless you.
I'm 20 years old and still dependent on my parents. My family attends church twice a week, but I've been feeling like I'm not growing in my understanding of God's word because we rely solely on the teachings of our church without personal Bible reading. In fact, our church doesn't really encourage personal Bible reading, stating that it may lead to misinterpretations. I've been struggling with this because I feel like I've been going to church out of habit or obligation, and it hasn't been fostering my spiritual growth. And it doesn't help that the church places more importance on itself as the path to salvation rather than on Jesus. Recently, I started reading the Bible on my own and have decided that I want to find a church that aligns more closely with my beliefs and supports my spiritual growth, allowing me to get closer to God. However, I'm hesitant to tell my parents about this decision because our current church holds significant importance to them. Right now, I've been watching UA-cam videos about the gospel and God, and reading the Bible by myself. But deep down, I have a strong desire to connect with a community of like-minded believers who can support me in my faith journey.
The church was established by Christ on his apostles and their successors, to teach His truth, in His name, in every geenration, to the end. It is not "just a group of people", and in obedience to Christ you must remain within His Church, the Catholic Church.
*Don't Say you are MINE, You Churches of Babylon = 501c3 Tax Exempted.* WORD of YAH, YAHUSHUA👉 *I AM' is not in the popularity of the ministries you seek autographs from for shame. MY Servants are to serve the people and* instead they are enticed to sin with bribery to stay silent from the government's who give tax exempt status and warn you if you speak you will pay for it financially. 💋For the sake of money you muzzle yourself. 💥You prove what God you serve when you do not speak that homosexuality is sin. 💥Abortion is sin! This war is sin! The ways of the world is sin! 👉 *Anyone who is a friend to this world is not a friend to 'I AM' or MY Son YAHUSHUA, BEWARE!* ☑Don't you know you will be held responsible for not speaking out in fear of losing your tax exempt status? You Spiritual leaders you have accepted the bribery from the government to remain quiet. ☑You have sold your birthright like Esau did for a handful of gold. The bigger the ministry the more you could have had MY People to raise up and speak up and tell the heathen no. Yet, for a bribe you remain silent and allow murders of innocents and the blood is on your hands spiritual leaders and 💥all who follow *after them and all who support them with your tithes and offerings.* Why are NOT the churches supporting those willing to sacrifice their all to protest against these murders of innocent babies? They lose their jobs, imprisoned, mocked, and why? Because they heard MY voice, and MY conviction that said, “Speak up, don’t say silent.” I have heard their prayers, I have seen their tears, and I have felt their pain, have you? 👉Every church service should be praying for them. Every church service should be praying for MY conviction, MY judgment on those doing such things, allowing these murders, yet how few do. I am GRIEVOUSLY ANGRY. For you say you’re MINE and you are ignoring the cries of the unborn, and the cries of those that sacrifice their all to protect and stop the slaughter of the unborn. Rise up, speak up, in MY Name, Pray, Pray, Pray, till you see this horror cease [ spoken since 1998]. *‘’A Total of 2 Billion Babies Are Mercilessly So Viciously BUTCHERED Inside & Outside of the WOMB WorldWide’’* (revelation given in June 2021 (32 month ago)). You want to know why I have allowed this to go on, because I have been waiting for MY Children to call upon MY Name to stop this. To prove they care. Not just a handful, but millions should have spoken forth as these laws against MY laws were passed. 🔴There should never be a church service without this prayer going forth. Pastors you will be held accountable. You have been warned. Congregations warn your pastors. They are supposed to be representing ME. Urge them every service to pray for this horror to cease, for MY judgment to come upon those that refuse to repent. Stop giving ME lukewarm prayers. I will not listen. Give ME prayers with passion and with a heart that cares. Stop the ritual prayers that are merely memorizing words, I will not hear. This is from your mind and mouth, not your heart. [ This Prophecy 11, Given/spoken 1998, 26years ago]. You must REPENT NOW or you also will suffer what is to come and coming quickly. You have been warned. 👉So worried about 👉your tax exempt status but not worried about what the God you claim to serve will do to you, for not praying against this and for not moving MY hand to end this. Again there should never be a church service that ends without prayer going forth to end this spirit that has been sent forth to contaminate all that is Holy. The prayers of a righteous man avail much. Lukewarm prayers I don’t hear and I abhor. Either be hot or cold but don’t come to ME lukewarm, for I will spew you out of MY mouth. 🔴*Don’t say you are MINE and not stand up for all that is Holy or remain silent as you see others standing up for Holiness and* getting persecuted for MY sake, and not help them anyway you can for fear of losing your tax exempt status. You will lose more than your tax-exempt status. You will lose more than your lives. You will lose your SOULS. You have been warned. Woe be unto you who have stayed silent far too long. For I hear babies screams. The babies' souls return to whence they came from Heaven. But their souls are ripped out of this world unmercifully. Cruelty beyond words. I allow the souls to leave only to prove man's inhumanity to man. Satan has people sow seed into evil works, evil shepherds that twist MY Words, speak forth messages that do not offend less they suffer financially, or lose their tax exempt status. Or who fear offending the heathens and don't fear offending Almighty GOD YAHUVEH. Woe be unto you. I have raised up ministers who have not worldly wealth but in boldness speak forth MY Words, blessing MY People and ME. 🔴 *But if the world is embracing you when I come, then know this and beware for you're not MY Child, you belong to satan, and* your name is not written in the Lamb's Book of Life under the heading redeemed. You are only fit for the judgment and wrath of Almighty GOD YAHUVEH. Hell is what you will see. [ EXCERPTS from Prophecy 95]: *Beware! Beware! Beware! Beware! Beware oh sheep and lambs of MINE, of those who puff themselves up with fame and* fortune and fill your airwaves. Beware! Beware! Beware! Beware of 💥those who refuse to preach the Message of repentance, 💥who do not live the life of repentance, refuse to live a life of Holiness, 👉refuse to warn the sinners of sin. Beware! Beware! Beware! Beware, oh sheep and lambs! ☑For these are not MINE and as they betrayed ME before, they betray ME now again! 💥Oh pastors of greed, you know you don't belong to ME! You are a farce! You are a fake! MY SPIRIT'S not in you! I've named the names before through this Ministry! And there's so many more that I have not named. But watch them oh sheep and lambs. Have they sold their soul like a common whore just to get the tax exempt status? Beware, MY sheep and lambs, of those who try to put all the religions together as one!

Call ME YAHUSHUA. But don't take the Name YAH out and think you're hearing from MY Spirit. 👉 *Tell them the Ten Commandments [Exodus 20 & 34] still stand. Written by ABBA YAHUVEH's own fiery hand.* 👉 They were written on a tablet of stone, not written on a paper or scroll to be erased or changed.

I'll pray for you and your family. I hope your parents would be open to you joining another church for YA/youth/small groups that meet your spiritual needs better. It's better to have a transition if possible and let your parents see for themselves once you have a good one in mind. Hopefully, open communication will lead to their understanding.
I have recently left a church because of a pastor who can not take criticism and is full of pride that they can not see. I loved him so much, took a lot of criticisms from him, but as soon as I said one thing, he gets very upset. It hurt a lot and this makes me feel better about finding another church.
To find the right church you need to read the bible, read history of Christianity in the first and second century, read the Didache (50 AD), the church fathers, and look into biblical archeology
Me, my Bible and my personal relationship with God is all I need! I have never had good fellowship, except when I was in Iraq with my bothers and sisters!
this isn't biblical 1 John 1-7 5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all[b] sin. we must have fellowship with others or we walk in darkness IE church
I pray you haven't fallen into misunderstandings or biblical heresy during your time alone with the Bible. This is one of my main concerns with those who choose to permanently study isolated. Like the trinity, for example. Yes, there are many bad churches out there, or churches with judgmental congregants. But I sincerely ask for you to look around again, or look further for a good church so you can have Christian fellowship as the Bible dictates. I travel 40 minutes to my church every Sunday. If nothing else, get into a group with your friends and study God's Word together.
That isn't biblical or traditional. I recommend the Catholic Church. I think if you genuinely give it a try, you won't regret it. Don't take my word for it, but seek with an open mind and ask for discernment. Praying for you, brother. Glory to Christ our lord.
@Alexander07865 ln order to find a church that will help you grow in Christ. God must pick the church. Pray and ask God to lead you to the church which he wants you to go.
@RStark-ek7mh l've been anti-social at times in my life. However, l wouldn't suggest being a recluse. We are created to live on earth as part of the body of Christ as brothers & sisters. I know that this can be a challenge. However, this life isn't meant to be lived alone, a network is needed. 1 Thessalonians 5:11-Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.
@@thetej2227 I was baptized Greek Orthodox and there are a lot of icons and imagery there. I rather be with a low church institution where it’s focused on fellowship instead of religion practices. Thanks tho. God bless
@@RStark-ek7mh I used to be pretty shy and still am to some extent but the fact that there are people out there that have my same values and have faith in Christ like me, we start off in a good position to start having fellowship. I suggest trying to start off with a few people, u do not have to join a church and start friending everyone there. It is a process. God bless
I thought this was a great UA-cam channel and it clears up a lot of things for people who have doubt about churches and how they are run and how they need to be run This will be very helpful. Thank you so much for having this question and answer UA-cam In Jesus name amen
thank you for an eye opening video brother in Christ, I've been trying to ignore these red flags in this church that I go to Everything you've described is what they do GOD BLESS THOU
My church checks off all of these! Thank you Holy Spirit for leading me to a church so I can be in the body of Christ and grow in my wisdom and faith ❤
Truly grateful to you for taking time out to make these videos. They’re so easy to follow along without getting lost in the confusion (common points people make in debate and arguments) relating certain topics. ALL your videos just sum everything up nicely … and the fact that it’s backed up with scripture/references for people to do further reading 🙌✨even better !
God bless you for your amazing videos using your magnificent God giving talent to share the good news. it Is now in these times really hard to find a good church because some sins are magnified as being acceptable knowing the Bible says otherwise. Mainly to get money and members. These tips and this video is very helpful. God bless ❤
Well, it wasn’t just the repetition as I I found out later, our old church essentially became a megachurch, and we didn’t have much connection there. We didn’t make many friends, and we didn’t become involved with volunteer work there. At our new church, we have more connection, more friends, and are more involved in our church body. And the word seems more active here than our old one.
I was asking this question when I was 20 years old. I asked my pastor and he gave me the best answer. I had the freedom to leave and the freedom to join. It took me 20 years to rejoin only to notice how long I have been wandering in the wilderness. But my walk in faith including getting lost, made me stronger in the end.
Exmormon here, now born again Christian. All glory to God! Praise to the lamb who was slain to set us free ! 😢❤ I just found your channel. I am blessed . Thank you.
@@aug1014 Thank you so much. It is all glory to the God who awakened my spirit through the living Word of the Bible; and convicted me of my sins.

Me, too!! Most miraculous event ever!! I’m in Tennessee and so grateful to be around many who Love Yeshua!! Absolute Born Again and on Fire for Him. Have you found folks you can relate to, yet? Did you have a spouse and children who came to Jesus, too? Two of my four kids and now my husband are with Christ and no more LDS.
@@hsiled Thank you for your prayers for the Mormon's. The delusion has such a stronghold. Freemasonic Luciferian! Only the HOLY SPIRIT can open their eyes. Blessings to you in JESUS most holy name.
Thank you for the video! I'm kinda going to 2 churches, and with one of them I was not sure, if it was the right one for me. But the church fits in every category in this video. So now I feel more secure with this church.
I was just thinking about how I'm not sure how I'm going to find a church when I go to college, since I've been a pastor's kid at my dad's church all my life. I have a problem where I'm not trusting in many other pastors/church communities unless they do everything exactly like my church growing up did. You reminded me today what is truly important in a church and gave me hope that I can find something fulfilling even if they do things a little different than I'm used to. Thank you.
I grew up in the church, still growing up in fact. So this comforted me because my church teaches all of this. And i quite literally don’t have an option to go to any other churches anyways, but i’m glad my church fits these standards :)
Man recently started watching your videos man, and I must say they are helping me a lot in terms of growing in knowledge, especially the one I watched about intrusive thoughts. Keep doing the good work and may The GOOD LORD continue to bless you more abundantly man!!!!!
I got saved from a life of sin in the church I am attending now. Struggled a lot to relate to other people at other churches beforehand, but once I got here, I was at home, all because someone chose to invest their time in me man and invite me. GOD Is GOOD and he wants us to all have eternal life. If you're reading this, know that GOD saved me from adultery, fornication, drunkenness, sadness and an empty feeling inside. There is a JESUS shaped hole in each of us that only THE LORD can fill. YOU CAN BE SAVED TOO
When you understand what the Aramaic says, you see that Jesus was equating Simon and the rock; he wasn’t contrasting them. We see this vividly in some modern English translations, which render the verse this way: ‘You are Rock, and upon this rock I will build my church.’ In French one word, pierre, has always been used both for Simon’s new name and for the rock.
I think this is very good. At around 5:10 I would add “if the church says you’re a sinner, people are getting saved there, and they say ‘do the bare minimum at work so you can worship here (and volunteer!) as much as possible and do all you can to give us more than 10% of your income so the Kingdom can grow here.’” Leave that church too even though people seem to be growing in the Lord. People will lose their jobs, homes, and marriages in a situation like that. It doesn’t bring glory to God overall. I lived this once.
This is a question I’ve had for a long time because I always wondered “how can you learn from a church if you’re already supposed to know if what they’re saying is true or not?” This helps out a lot.
That is a very real dilemma! That’s why I don’t like people who are too quick to belittle someone for attending a questionable church without knowing the details of their story.
Nice video bro. Truly we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, all for the glory of God alone. Thank you for this video, really encouraging. God bless you 😁
Searched and searched . Met a man at my local karate school Was a swedenborgian minister. He answered all my questiones. Travelled to india israel . And the faith that i found Was just around the corner from my home. That was 23 years ago. Im still there . Seek and you shall be led and find. God bless you all ❤🙏 👍
A few years ago I questioned my church whether or not hey were truly serving God but after seeing how my pastor and other members of my church talked about their failures and how God's Word change their lives and always bring up how its only through The Blood Of Jesus Christ that were are saved , I knew right there and then that my church is a house Of God not a false of course like no church or person is prefect but God Is .
Terrific video! If you can, I would like for you to discuss how we as Christians handle disagreements with other believers. Such as telling the truth in love and not criticism.
Such a hard thing to do, when these tough topics can be so charged with belief and emotion and personal experiences and political environments! The absolute most important thing is to have actual love and respect for the other. Even when you disagree, consider the most charitable interpretation of what they are saying and why they believe it. Remember to care about the person themselves, and not make attacks or imprecations on their character or past. Listen humbly, and truly look for places their words have merit. Try to fully understand their views, and communicate your convictions in a way to relate to their thoughts, both in commonalities and differences. Open yourself to the possibility of being wrong, if not in whole then in part. Most of all, the Golden Rule. Challenge and question and share with others the way you would want them to do to you. And of course, always being prayerful about what to challenge, how to do so in love, and when to check your pride. Ideally, even if you can't reach agreement in the conversation, they'll leave that day knowing that you're someone who won't dismiss, belittle, attack, or criticize them in disagreement, and you can engage in respectful dialogue again in the future,
Amen!!! Thank you for that important information!!! We look for a good Bible believing, Bible teaching, Holy Spirit filled church that prays without ceasing. God bless🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I’ve always heard bad things about UCC churches, but the one near me was the only church that had a service that fit with my work schedule. Turns out it is one of the kindest cans most caring congregations I’ve ever been to. Truly a beautiful church with a beautiful dedication to serving God and God’s people.
I'm going to be on the prayer team with Franklin Graham's Frontera Tour in Arizona and I will be handing out cards with information to view this video. Thank You! God Bless!

There are 2 churches on UA-cam that teach all of the Bible chapter by chapter and verse by verse. They show the original language translations from Hebrew and Greek when needed to get the true meaning of what is being said. "The Shepherds Chapel" and "Fresh Start NDPM".
Shepherds Channel is Arminian and thus is *Heretical* ! Arminianism is a Confirmed and Condemned *Damnable Heresy* and has been *Rejected* by the one, true, Reformed, Calvinist, Christian Church since 1619. Repent and Believe the Gospel of Grace to be Saved.
I just recently found this channel, and Im really happy to find such quality and practical content with functional visuals. Keep up good work. I can feel the God working through your service.
I have been going to a church for a few months now and I realize it is right for my family and I because it focuses on prayer and only the teachings of God's Word as the only truth.
@user-qz7hf8vk6v remember that churches are non profit organisation, so if they sell merchandise, for example and another sign is to check the pastors if they come in very fancy thing every week. But that will require to know them like the job the work at outside church
@ann4192 if you ask me, a business needs to run efficiently and effectively. If they're not, it will fail. Just like a church. Therefore, a church should be ran like a business. People throw around business like it's a dirty word, but everything is business. You should also run your own finances like a business. Efficient and effective operations allow for prosperity and growth. I'm not trying to argue with you, I'm pointing out that your comment doesn't make sense. Take it as you will.
I visited one church and the preacher was quoting Stephen King (the horror novelist) in a positive manner. There were other problems with that church, so needless to say I did not go back. A good church rooted in the Word of God is definitely a blessing.
I haven't been a part of a church for over 15 years and my faith and relationship with God is stronger than most people I know that attend church. My advise to anyone looking to belong to a church is to change your thinking and start a house group along the lines of the early believers see acts2v42-47 and Acts4v32-37. The early Christians were a Christian Ekklesia and NOT a church
I went to a mormon church and was never taught about stories in the bible. I waa brainwashed. I stopped going when I was in my mid teens. This video is so helpful❤. God bless everyone in the comments
Our church was prophetically closed by God when they contemplated a same sex marriage wedding celebration on the premises. So, a small group of women have developed a Lady's Sabbath Bible Study for the past 3 years through Zoom cause we live in different locations. We support each other with prayer and counseling advice, and have covered many books of the Bible including Revelation that was never covered in church. Thank you for this video.
If we translate Peter’s name (Petros) literally in Matthew 16 18 it reads, “You are rock, and upon this rock I will build my church.” This makes Peter a prime candidate for being that to which “this” refers to.
Glad to see my church is a good church!! I love how my Pastor gives sermons from the Bible, not her interpretation. She uses the concordance and is definitely encouraging to read the Bible on your own time. Prayer is also huge in my church, an hour every sunday service, tuesday prayer, and prayer on wednesday night service. Theres also monday evening worship, friday youth group, friday and tuesday bible studies, deaf ministry on saturday, and a whole host of other things almost every day of the week.
Sorry to say this, but respectfully; a woman pastor speaking / preaching to women and men is unbiblical. If it was just to children and women then no problem at all.
@@333steven Wrong. Paul was talking about a certain situation at that time. By your logic, women can only ask question from their husbands and at home, and slavery should be allowed. Now, go tell Jesus he was wrong by having Mary Magdalene teach the men of his resurrection.

I'm an altar server at my church and I'm happy to say after talking to the priest and being friends with the community at my church it has required all the 4 steps you said. Kinda there is only one man who keeps complaining even in the middle of mass
In 2015, when I was preparing to be released from prison after 24 years, one of the brothers advised me “What ever you do, don’t go to Victory Outreach”. Well, that’s exactly where God led me and planted me 🙌🏼 I’ve been there for 8 yrs now; my wife and I serve in ministry and are part of the leadership at our local church. My point…go and grow where God plants you. Be blessed🙏🏼✝️
i would really love if you make a video on " parents raising a children in the right way". i think its a topic that is really necessary in these times of confusion about youth leaving the way of truth in search of experience or purpouse not knowing that it is right infront of them. and i think that their up bringing plays a huge role on that.
We have been jumping between churches for a while, we had found one earlier this year but there were bad things going on between two family's and the pastor wouldn't call them out because one guy of the two families was his fishing buddy. We have found one that i like and have friends at, I'm just hopping it will be good church over all and we get to stay please pray!
Jesus also said that It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. If your church is going to the wrong direction, and you feel it, is it wise to abandon it? If people who want to build His kingdom always go to the "good" churches, how do the "bad" churches change? Instead of only going to good churches, pray for the bad churches in your area, and be the blessed tool in God's hand who helps with fixing it! God bless you all!❤
You do make a good point, but let me ask a question: how would they respond if you told them they were going the wrong direction? If they respond positively; they ask what they're doing wrong and how to fix it--it would be best if you have multiple people with the same disagreement so that it doesn't become a Christian version of a he-said-she-said case. In this situation, yes there's some good you can do there. Not every disagreement is a problem though; whether you and the pastor agree whether the serpent in the Garden of Eden was Satan or not is not the same as if the pastor is saying Jesus and/or God are trans. (There are, unfortunately, pastors who do believe the latter disagreement) But not everyone who is sick wants to be cured in this analogy. Some would at best just ignore your feedback and at worst actively deride and discredit you. Those ones you can't help. You can and should pray for them if God puts it on your heart, but I would recommend finding a better church. I hope this helps answer your question :)
As we can see in the parable of the soils, the sower did the job exactly the same in every case, but a seed can only grow properly if the soil is good. Thank you for your point!:))
You are correct, bad churches need missionaries just as much as uncontacted tribes halfway around the world do, but it's also true that those missionaries need a way to strengthen their own faith. So if you do go to a bad church for the sake of evangelism, I would argue that you also need to go to a good church to make sure you're not slipping into the teachings of the bad church. It's a difficult undertaking for sure, and it might cause a strain on your schedule. Maybe attend the bad church on Sunday mornings, witness to people then (because from the video, the bad church is unlikely to be meeting any other time), and attend the good church on Wednesday nights.
For Catholics, Matthew 16 18 is a key passage when establishing a biblical basis for the papacy: “And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it.”
Acts 15 when the church gathers together Peter gives a report of his ministry, Paul gives a report of his ministry, and interestingly James (the brother of Jesus), the head of church at the time, issues the Jerusalem decree. The verse you quoted is referring to Peter’s statement that “You are the Christ the son of God” and on that rock Christ does build His church.
This is bad interpretation on 2 beliefs that are not correct and the one bad interpretation on this video. The Church Fathers canceled out many heresies throughout the early centuries. These are the following corrections: 1) There is only one true church and Jesus left the key with Peter. The Church he left was with the Apostles. The Pope is the head Apostle at that time. The Church Jesus left us has had Apostolic succession from the beginning and had an unbroken chain of Popes from the beginning. The one institution that can declare heresies is the Magesterium - basically Apostles throughout the 2,000 years of the Church's existence. So Jesus did not leave a menu of "bible believing churches" one can join if their twitching ears like. So all the items of the basics of the Church were okay except the last one - @ 3:27 which says "faith alone." Faith alone is one of the Solas of the Protestant beliefs brought into being near the Schism started by Martin Luther in October 31, 1517. This created a Schism an created the man made churches which have over 30,000 denominations (some bringing back heresies and some even believing those 5 other must haves on the video. So this one passage has been used to deny the authority of Peter, Acts 15. This has been rebuked over and over again. It is a very weak argument (or maybe even a misinterpretation). 2) Jesus had no brothers. So James is not a literal blood brother as there is no word for cousin in Hebrew. The Virgin Mary's name is not only a description, but also a title. St. Joseph had consecrated his chastity to God and so had the Virgin Mary. The true Husband of the Virgin Mary is the Holy Spirit. We consider saying Jesus had brothers as blasphemy. Jesus himself said to Lucia one of the 3 kids that the Virgin Mary appear to at Fatima, Portugal. Jesus said to Lucia why a certain devotion he asked for called the 5 First Saturdays. Well Lucia asked why 5 Saturdays. An Jesus exact answer was this: Our Lord told Sr Lucia that the 5 Saturdays represent the offences against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. “My daughter, the reason is simple. There are five types of offenses and blasphemies committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary: 1. Blasphemies against the Immaculate Conception; 2. Blasphemies against Her Virginity; 3. Blasphemies against Her Divine Maternity, in refusing at the same time to recognize Her as the Mother of men; 4. The blasphemies of those who publicly seek to sow in the hearts of children, indifference, or scorn or even hatred of this Immaculate Mother; 5. The offenses of those who outrage Her directly in Her holy images. Here, my daughter, is the reason why the Immaculate Heart of Mary inspired Me to ask for this little act of reparation. . (May 29,1930) So learn that Jesus had NO LITERAL BROTHERS and that THE VIRGIN MARY REMAINED A VIRGIN ETERNALLY once and for all. 3) 3:27 Faith alone is not correct, again declared in the Protestant heresies. This is cherry-picking verses. The often quoted verse for this is wrong for two reasons. One when you read the rest of the chapter it is refuted instantly. Works has always been a teaching of Jesus just look at the Beatitudes. And in many other places. Doing works is how you show God and brothers or neighbors love. People would not want to show empty handed when you meet God. There are two kinds of works in the bible: 1) works of the law and 2) works of love. Works of the law were following Jewish laws. Learn the differences. Lastly, good news Jesus did have cousins. Learn about St. Jude. And also if given a verse in response to a question read the entire chapter, it typically changes their answer. The Holy Bible is the most Catholic book I know. The second one is the Cathecism, but it is based on the bible and Apostolic tradition. You want to know the most important parts of the bible to bring people to the Catholic Church, the Last Supper and specially John 6. Jesus is literally in the Catholic Church specially in the these 3 Sacraments: 1) Confession or Penance 2) Holy Communion 3) Ordination - Holy Orders (like the Levites in the Old Testament) Remember, Jesus left one Church, one Truth (or one true path - John 6). Read the whole book of John. He did not leave a menu of options. May God bless you all and may the Holy Spirit guide you to discern the correct Church. Remember, the Holy Spirit is the only spouse of the Virgin Mary. Watch EWTN's Journey Home for encouragement in finding Jesus and heaven here on earth.
Every Wednesday, my Church has a such thing called “Wednesday night church” which is for teaching youth more about Christianity. When we got older,(6-7 and higher grades) they start to get real with us. Asking questions such as, “Are you being real with yourself?” “Do you truly love god?” “Is this your final choice?” And thus forth. I think those are valuable questions that should be asked. As a minor who’s almost the only Christian in my family, it can be hard doing this alone, but then I remember that I’m not alone. I have Jesus.
I wish i had someone i could bible study 1 on 1 with and connect together with God. ❤ i thought my christian friend would want that with me but ends up he has other desires and is too busy to make time for me. I feel kind of lost....
@@BlastToTheRescue True that. This whole nonsense about finding 'a good church' is pointless when Jesus founded only one church and chose Peter to lead it (Matthew 16:18). Also read Isaiah 22:22 for context of the 'keys'.
@RosaryEnjoyer He literally calls out all orthodox and catholic churches at 3:29 when he says faith alone saves. Had to stop listening after he said that.
Ive been to 2 chruches in the 3 years ive been a christian. Ive been to both in total of 4 days. Because all i saw was a lack of order. More worship songs then actual sermons that teach about the bible and how to live the way god wants you. I grew up catholic. Although thanks to Catholicism i became an atheist at the ripe age of 10. There was alot of order, and was so turned off from the christian chruch because both chruches spent 10-20 minutes out of the 3 hour service on the actual sermon. Like i go online and watch 1-2 hour sermons. To actually LEARN the word of God. And it sad because i have no friends. And i really want christian mom friends.

We've been a member of this church for so long every Sunday, every month tithing. Temple attendance. We're taught tobe all world wide family which is nice to hear that we had world wide family... until one day we found the corruption of the leadership 😢 ... I was shocked and hurt. We pray and pray ... the answer was really strong get out... time and years to decide knowing that we will leave our friends for so long... we find the stre gh to go.. we left the church and were happier peace and were reading just the holy bible.. I watch ministry in the t.v. and how wrong we were to believe them... now we're looking for a new church I hope and pray will find it soon. Were in Uk .
Ex-Catholic here. The best decision I ever made was to convert and accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I stopped those repetitive and void acts, as I felt like I never had a relationship with Jesus. Now, as a newly born Christian, I am trying to lead Bible studies. At the moment, there are only two of us, but I know that nothing is impossible for the Lord; He can work through me and help me become a better leader. Remember, Jesus loves you! Have a great day today. ❤
Broadly, Roman Catholicism differs from other Christian churches and denominations in its beliefs about the sacraments, the roles of the Bible and tradition, the importance of the Virgin Mary and the saints, and the papacy.
@@masonridgewell8063 well, catholicism at its core IS Christian. But the sad truth is that a lot of catholic churches nowadays are very corrupted, ignoring scripture and falling to political correctness. Granted, not ALL catholic churches are like this, but a very good majority are. Even if you focus on the better half of catholicism there are still a lot of bad practices including but not limited to: praying to Mary, Peter, and a lot of people in the Bible who should NOT be worshipped. that is idolatry, heresy, AND blasphemy (it's a 3 in 1!) Again, not ALL churches say this, but a lot say it. Most don't believe that faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. They think that salvation is based off Jesus AND good works. Unfortunately, Paul does not agree: 'For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God' Ephesians 2:8
@@masonridgewell8063 How can they be Christian,while they do the opposite of what the bible says,their pope is accepting gay marriage,idolatry,would u call this Christians?
That's a big difference I've noticed. I wouldn't say that a church that dims the lights and puts a spotlight on the band during worship is automatically a bad church, I mean, I went to one of those in college. But I would say it's more like, you don't want a church where it feels like you're not invited to participate in the worship. My current church does a much better job -- the lights are on through the whole room during worship, and they only really use the spotlight when the pastor is preaching. But I wouldn't say my old church is heretical just because of that. I would just say it was more targeted towards younger people. I think this can be a factor in choosing a church, but I would not leave a church based entirely on that. The people and the teachings are what makes or breaks a specific church.
This is very useful. Me and my family are in the process of finding a new church as we are currently separating from our previous church. Im 18 and im starting to look at churchs separately from my parents just because im wondering whats out there. This will help me out greatly
i mean my current church has me confused. like they show the love of God to people and to others, they have an amazing welcoming church family, there's prayer meetings on sundays, but... some people in our church do believe some sort of false teaching, and my church has never talked about being sinners. i mean they talked about why Jesus died and what not, but they never asked anyone to repent or anything. so i still don't know how to discern if it's a good church or not...
I used to go to a church like that. It wasn't until I found a church that preached repentance, where I heard elders confessing their own sins in my small breakout group at a prayer meeting, that I realized confession and repentance is where all the power of the gospel is.

Baby Christian here! I was raised to go to church but we went to mega churches (I never felt right about some of them) and I attended a Pentecostal church (Not gonna say anything negative) but I never felt at home with any other church than the one I attend now. I was baptized at my current church a year ago and I felt welcome and loved as soon as I started going there. It took me some time to fully experience and understand Jesus’s love, it hurts but feels great at the same time. That’s how I can describe what I felt when I opened the door to my heart for him. If you happen to read this far, thank you. If you want to know what life is like for me now since being baptized and having that change of heart and mind, I’ll tell you it’s not easy nor is it always this feeling of ecstasy. The feeling of turning back or ‘back-sliding’ is always there but you have to keep yourself in prayer and reading the Bible. If I can give anyone advice that was shared with me by my future father in law, being a Christian is not a sprint, it’s a marathon. Some people will take advantage of your kindness and your willing to give but always remain vigilant about it.
Have a blessed day/life.

I joined their bible study during april and at first didn't see anything wrong with their doctrines..when I was about to write an exam and told my coordinator that I needed a break to study he kept asking me to join the zoom classes.
After a while it started to feel suffocating and I decided to look the church up and after reading about how it's ex-worshippers called the church a cult, I fled and never looked back. I'm super glad I didn't get too far into it.
You made a correct decision, I was part of them to. They say that your salvation only comes from there church and basically you're on your way to hell if you go to another church.
Thank God for letting you get out of there!

I'm not in this church but look up "cavalry chapel Chuck smith". Dude wrote a book that is really good and only reason I say that is because using his name will lead you to the calvary chapel I'm thinking of. Anyway there evangelical church that teaches the bible cover to cover. They have planted many churches across the US so I use them because they are one of the churches I know that has many locations that is good. I'm sure if you pray God may lead you to another church but hey maybe he wants to use this comment too and you'll find a calvary chapel in your city!
So so so so so good! It's crucial to realize that just because some mega church has hundreds, or even thousands, of attendees, that doesn't automatically mean it's a good church. If you're not growing closer to God, you're dying as you (even unknowingly) drift away.
True, theres churchs around us that the pastor just shows up on a TV and it broadcasts to all the other churchs that are the same, i thought that was super weird, id imagine most do not personally know, nor have met their lead pastor
Nor, conversely, does it mean that a very large church is a “bad” church. There are reasons people attend and support large churches/ministries and they aren’t all bad.
Great summary! Not gonna lie...it's sooo EASY to love God but it's sooo difficult to love people. it's a struggle each and every day.
Thank you for sharing this. The one thing that I miss about a good church is when they had Wednesday night services. They're always so much fun and it helped keep me balanced. Every church I've been to I've asked "Do you have services on Wednesday evenings?" There are reply is "No,we don't,we do youth meetings on Wednesdays night only." Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that they have something going for the youth but I miss being about the entire family.
find a church that studies the Bible on Wednesdays as well :)

My church is my living room. I finally decided I just couldn’t believe most pastors, but I can believe the word of God that I read.
Can't follow God alone though I'm afraid. The call to follow God is a call to follow God in his body. Heb 10:24 states "dont forsake meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but rather encourage each other towards love and good deeds."
It may be hard and take time but fhrough prayer and actionable faith you'll find a church that teaches the bible and follows him together.
What you explained just gave me more faith in the church I attend in San Antonio, Texas! Cornerstone teaches the truth and believes in the power of prayer along with the uncomprimising word of God!

So lucky to say my church is a good church! So blessed it was one of the first churches I ever checked out when God stirred my heart. And it’s just down the road, God is good! 🙌🏻
Praise God, I'm favoured only God knows how much I praise Him, $230k every 4weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God’s work and the church.
Honestly this was extremely helpful, in two ways. The first way is that I 100% know my church is a great one, and that we do focus on prayer often. The second way is that I plan to start a church by the name of Bush on Fire Ministries, but I’ll need guidance before I start. This honestly helped me out with exactly that. Thanks for the video, it was really helpful. May God bless you.
I'm 20 years old and still dependent on my parents. My family attends church twice a week, but I've been feeling like I'm not growing in my understanding of God's word because we rely solely on the teachings of our church without personal Bible reading. In fact, our church doesn't really encourage personal Bible reading, stating that it may lead to misinterpretations. I've been struggling with this because I feel like I've been going to church out of habit or obligation, and it hasn't been fostering my spiritual growth. And it doesn't help that the church places more importance on itself as the path to salvation rather than on Jesus. Recently, I started reading the Bible on my own and have decided that I want to find a church that aligns more closely with my beliefs and supports my spiritual growth, allowing me to get closer to God. However, I'm hesitant to tell my parents about this decision because our current church holds significant importance to them. Right now, I've been watching UA-cam videos about the gospel and God, and reading the Bible by myself. But deep down, I have a strong desire to connect with a community of like-minded believers who can support me in my faith journey.
Ask God to give you the courage. Also you're an adult.
The church was established by Christ on his apostles and their successors, to teach His truth, in His name, in every geenration, to the end. It is not "just a group of people", and in obedience to Christ you must remain within His Church, the Catholic Church.
*Don't Say you are MINE, You Churches of Babylon = 501c3 Tax Exempted.* WORD of YAH, YAHUSHUA👉
*I AM' is not in the popularity of the ministries you seek autographs from for shame. MY Servants are to serve the people and* instead they are enticed to sin with bribery to stay silent from the government's who give tax exempt status and warn you if you speak you will pay for it financially. 💋For the sake of money you muzzle yourself. 💥You prove what God you serve when you do not speak that homosexuality is sin. 💥Abortion is sin! This war is sin! The ways of the world is sin!
👉 *Anyone who is a friend to this world is not a friend to 'I AM' or MY Son YAHUSHUA, BEWARE!*
☑Don't you know you will be held responsible for not speaking out in fear of losing your tax exempt status? You Spiritual leaders you have accepted the bribery from the government to remain quiet. ☑You have sold your birthright like Esau did for a handful of gold. The bigger the ministry the more you could have had MY People to raise up and speak up and tell the heathen no. Yet, for a bribe you remain silent and allow murders of innocents and the blood is on your hands spiritual leaders and 💥all who follow *after them and all who support them with your tithes and offerings.*
Why are NOT the churches supporting those willing to sacrifice their all to protest against these murders of innocent babies?
They lose their jobs, imprisoned, mocked, and why? Because they heard MY voice, and MY conviction that said, “Speak up, don’t say silent.” I have heard their prayers, I have seen their tears, and I have felt their pain, have you? 👉Every church service should be praying for them. Every church service should be praying for MY conviction, MY judgment on those doing such things, allowing these murders, yet how few do. I am GRIEVOUSLY ANGRY. For you say you’re MINE and you are ignoring the cries of the unborn, and the cries of those that sacrifice their all to protect and stop the slaughter of the unborn. Rise up, speak up, in MY Name, Pray, Pray, Pray, till you see this horror cease [ spoken since 1998].

You want to know why I have allowed this to go on, because I have been waiting for MY Children to call upon MY Name to stop this. To prove they care. Not just a handful, but millions should have spoken forth as these laws against MY laws were passed. 🔴There should never be a church service without this prayer going forth. Pastors you will be held accountable. You have been warned. Congregations warn your pastors. They are supposed to be representing ME. Urge them every service to pray for this horror to cease, for MY judgment to come upon those that refuse to repent. Stop giving ME lukewarm prayers. I will not listen. Give ME prayers with passion and with a heart that cares. Stop the ritual prayers that are merely memorizing words, I will not hear. This is from your mind and mouth, not your heart. [ This Prophecy 11, Given/spoken 1998, 26years ago].
You must REPENT NOW or you also will suffer what is to come and coming quickly. You have been warned. 👉So worried about 👉your tax exempt status but not worried about what the God you claim to serve will do to you, for not praying against this and for not moving MY hand to end this. Again there should never be a church service that ends without prayer going forth to end this spirit that has been sent forth to contaminate all that is Holy. The prayers of a righteous man avail much. Lukewarm prayers I don’t hear and I abhor. Either be hot or cold but don’t come to ME lukewarm, for I will spew you out of MY mouth.
🔴*Don’t say you are MINE and not stand up for all that is Holy or remain silent as you see others standing up for Holiness and* getting persecuted for MY sake, and not help them anyway you can for fear of losing your tax exempt status. You will lose more than your tax-exempt status. You will lose more than your lives. You will lose your SOULS. You have been warned. Woe be unto you who have stayed silent far too long. For I hear babies screams. The babies' souls return to whence they came from Heaven. But their souls are ripped out of this world unmercifully. Cruelty beyond words. I allow the souls to leave only to prove man's inhumanity to man.
Satan has people sow seed into evil works, evil shepherds that twist MY Words, speak forth messages that do not offend less they suffer financially, or lose their tax exempt status. Or who fear offending the heathens and don't fear offending Almighty GOD YAHUVEH. Woe be unto you. I have raised up ministers who have not worldly wealth but in boldness speak forth MY Words, blessing MY People and ME.
🔴 *But if the world is embracing you when I come, then know this and beware for you're not MY Child, you belong to satan, and* your name is not written in the Lamb's Book of Life under the heading redeemed. You are only fit for the judgment and wrath of Almighty GOD YAHUVEH. Hell is what you will see.

Hoping you'll be able to find the right church for you! If it's okay, may I know what church you are currently in?
I'll pray for you and your family. I hope your parents would be open to you joining another church for YA/youth/small groups that meet your spiritual needs better. It's better to have a transition if possible and let your parents see for themselves once you have a good one in mind. Hopefully, open communication will lead to their understanding.
I have recently left a church because of a pastor who can not take criticism and is full of pride that they can not see. I loved him so much, took a lot of criticisms from him, but as soon as I said one thing, he gets very upset. It hurt a lot and this makes me feel better about finding another church.
same here
Same thing happened to my mom as well.
In order to find a good church, one must pray and ask God to lead them to where he wants you to attend.
This is a good video on the foundation of what to look for in a church. However, to find a good church, God must lead. 🙏🏽
To find the right church you need to read the bible, read history of Christianity in the first and second century, read the Didache (50 AD), the church fathers, and look into biblical archeology
😭😭😭 My church is fulfilling so many of these. Please pray for Grace Church!!!
Seems like I have some things to pray about. Another great message! Thanks for sharing!
Me, my Bible and my personal relationship with God is all I need! I have never had good fellowship, except when I was in Iraq with my bothers and sisters!
yep!
this isn't biblical 1 John 1-7 5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all[b] sin. we must have fellowship with others or we walk in darkness IE church
I pray you haven't fallen into misunderstandings or biblical heresy during your time alone with the Bible. This is one of my main concerns with those who choose to permanently study isolated. Like the trinity, for example.
Yes, there are many bad churches out there, or churches with judgmental congregants. But I sincerely ask for you to look around again, or look further for a good church so you can have Christian fellowship as the Bible dictates. I travel 40 minutes to my church every Sunday.
If nothing else, get into a group with your friends and study God's Word together.
That isn't biblical or traditional. I recommend the Catholic Church. I think if you genuinely give it a try, you won't regret it. Don't take my word for it, but seek with an open mind and ask for discernment. Praying for you, brother. Glory to Christ our lord.
I needed this, I am looking for a church to have fellowship with fellow believers. God bless
@Alexander07865 ln order to find a church that will help you grow in Christ. God must pick the church. Pray and ask God to lead you to the church which he wants you to go.
@RStark-ek7mh l've been anti-social at times in my life. However, l wouldn't suggest being a recluse. We are created to live on earth as part of the body of Christ as brothers & sisters. I know that this can be a challenge. However, this life isn't meant to be lived alone, a network is needed.
1 Thessalonians 5:11-Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.
@@thetej2227 I was baptized Greek Orthodox and there are a lot of icons and imagery there. I rather be with a low church institution where it’s focused on fellowship instead of religion practices. Thanks tho. God bless
@@Nicolee7764 Amen. I will. God bless
@@RStark-ek7mh I used to be pretty shy and still am to some extent but the fact that there are people out there that have my same values and have faith in Christ like me, we start off in a good position to start having fellowship. I suggest trying to start off with a few people, u do not have to join a church and start friending everyone there. It is a process. God bless
I thought this was a great UA-cam channel and it clears up a lot of things for people who have doubt about churches and how they are run and how they need to be run This will be very helpful. Thank you so much for having this question and answer UA-cam In Jesus name amen
This is the most beautiful video I've seen today!
May God's name be Praised
thank you for an eye opening video brother in Christ, I've been trying to ignore these red flags in this church that I go to Everything you've described is what they do
GOD BLESS THOU
My church checks off all of these! Thank you Holy Spirit for leading me to a church so I can be in the body of Christ and grow in my wisdom and faith ❤
Truly grateful to you for taking time out to make these videos. They’re so easy to follow along without getting lost in the confusion (common points people make in debate and arguments) relating certain topics. ALL your videos just sum everything up nicely … and the fact that it’s backed up with scripture/references for people to do further reading 🙌✨even better !
God bless you for your amazing videos using your magnificent God giving talent to share the good news. it Is now in these times really hard to find a good church because some sins are magnified as being acceptable knowing the Bible says otherwise. Mainly to get money and members. These tips and this video is very helpful. God bless ❤
My family left one church because they kept repeating their sermons, like yearly, without bringing new ones, even if they did, it was rare.
Sermons or like the Bible readings? Cause many churches do have liturgical calendars that get repeated every once in a while.
Well, it wasn’t just the repetition as I I found out later, our old church essentially became a megachurch, and we didn’t have much connection there. We didn’t make many friends, and we didn’t become involved with volunteer work there. At our new church, we have more connection, more friends, and are more involved in our church body. And the word seems more active here than our old one.
Amen 🙏 thank you so so much Lord Jesus Christ for all that you have done/yet to do!! 😊
I was asking this question when I was 20 years old. I asked my pastor and he gave me the best answer. I had the freedom to leave and the freedom to join. It took me 20 years to rejoin only to notice how long I have been wandering in the wilderness. But my walk in faith including getting lost, made me stronger in the end.
Sorry to hear you had to experience that. Glad you're able to see it was part of the plan!
Exmormon here, now born again Christian. All glory to God! Praise to the lamb who was slain to set us free ! 😢❤
I just found your channel. I am blessed . Thank you.
Good on you for escaping heresy!
@@aug1014 Thank you so much. It is all glory to the God who awakened my spirit through the living Word of the Bible; and convicted me of my sins.
Ephesians 2.8-10 pierced my heart as a young teen, and never left me. That was the crack of light coming through in the door.
Blessings to you in Jesus most holy name.
Me, too!! Most miraculous event ever!! I’m in Tennessee and so grateful to be around many who Love Yeshua!! Absolute Born Again and on Fire for Him. Have you found folks you can relate to, yet? Did you have a spouse and children who came to Jesus, too? Two of my four kids and now my husband are with Christ and no more LDS.
So cool to hear of your conversion...may the Lord bless you. I've known many Mormons and I've always hoped and prayed that they'd find the truth
@@hsiled Thank you for your prayers for the Mormon's. The delusion has such a stronghold. Freemasonic Luciferian! Only the HOLY SPIRIT can open their eyes.
Blessings to you in JESUS most holy name.
Absolutely essential Brothers and Sisters. ❤ Listen up!
Thank you for the video! I'm kinda going to 2 churches, and with one of them I was not sure, if it was the right one for me. But the church fits in every category in this video. So now I feel more secure with this church.
I was just thinking about how I'm not sure how I'm going to find a church when I go to college, since I've been a pastor's kid at my dad's church all my life. I have a problem where I'm not trusting in many other pastors/church communities unless they do everything exactly like my church growing up did. You reminded me today what is truly important in a church and gave me hope that I can find something fulfilling even if they do things a little different than I'm used to. Thank you.
I grew up in the church, still growing up in fact. So this comforted me because my church teaches all of this. And i quite literally don’t have an option to go to any other churches anyways, but i’m glad my church fits these standards :)
Man recently started watching your videos man, and I must say they are helping me a lot in terms of growing in knowledge, especially the one I watched about intrusive thoughts. Keep doing the good work and may The GOOD LORD continue to bless you more abundantly man!!!!!
I got saved from a life of sin in the church I am attending now. Struggled a lot to relate to other people at other churches beforehand, but once I got here, I was at home, all because someone chose to invest their time in me man and invite me. GOD Is GOOD and he wants us to all have eternal life. If you're reading this, know that GOD saved me from adultery, fornication, drunkenness, sadness and an empty feeling inside. There is a JESUS shaped hole in each of us that only THE LORD can fill. YOU CAN BE SAVED TOO
God is good
I love how you write everything at the end, I take pictures of them. Thank you
Perfect timing lol! I'm currently looking for a new church and I'm attending one tomorrow! Hopefully it will be good
When you understand what the Aramaic says, you see that Jesus was equating Simon and the rock; he wasn’t contrasting them. We see this vividly in some modern English translations, which render the verse this way: ‘You are Rock, and upon this rock I will build my church.’ In French one word, pierre, has always been used both for Simon’s new name and for the rock.
I think this is very good. At around 5:10 I would add “if the church says you’re a sinner, people are getting saved there, and they say ‘do the bare minimum at work so you can worship here (and volunteer!) as much as possible and do all you can to give us more than 10% of your income so the Kingdom can grow here.’”
Leave that church too even though people seem to be growing in the Lord. People will lose their jobs, homes, and marriages in a situation like that. It doesn’t bring glory to God overall. I lived this once.
This is a question I’ve had for a long time because I always wondered “how can you learn from a church if you’re already supposed to know if what they’re saying is true or not?” This helps out a lot.
That is a very real dilemma! That’s why I don’t like people who are too quick to belittle someone for attending a questionable church without knowing the details of their story.
Nice video bro. Truly we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, all for the glory of God alone. Thank you for this video, really encouraging. God bless you 😁
I have learn many things from your videos. Thank you so much ❤

A few years ago I questioned my church whether or not hey were truly serving God but after seeing how my pastor and other members of my church talked about their failures and how God's Word change their lives and always bring up how its only through The Blood Of Jesus Christ that were are saved , I knew right there and then that my church is a house Of God not a false of course like no church or person is prefect but God Is .
Terrific video!
If you can, I would like for you to discuss how we as Christians handle disagreements with other believers. Such as telling the truth in love and not criticism.
Check his how to handle lgbtq community video. That teaches the humility we need.
Why are you feeling a need to broach that very personal subject, especially if it’s not your immediate family?
@@cindiloowhoo1166 Just curious my friend
Such a hard thing to do, when these tough topics can be so charged with belief and emotion and personal experiences and political environments! The absolute most important thing is to have actual love and respect for the other. Even when you disagree, consider the most charitable interpretation of what they are saying and why they believe it. Remember to care about the person themselves, and not make attacks or imprecations on their character or past. Listen humbly, and truly look for places their words have merit. Try to fully understand their views, and communicate your convictions in a way to relate to their thoughts, both in commonalities and differences. Open yourself to the possibility of being wrong, if not in whole then in part. Most of all, the Golden Rule. Challenge and question and share with others the way you would want them to do to you. And of course, always being prayerful about what to challenge, how to do so in love, and when to check your pride. Ideally, even if you can't reach agreement in the conversation, they'll leave that day knowing that you're someone who won't dismiss, belittle, attack, or criticize them in disagreement, and you can engage in respectful dialogue again in the future,
Amen!!! Thank you for that important information!!! We look for a good Bible believing, Bible teaching, Holy Spirit filled church that prays without ceasing. God bless🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I’ve always heard bad things about UCC churches, but the one near me was the only church that had a service that fit with my work schedule. Turns out it is one of the kindest cans most caring congregations I’ve ever been to. Truly a beautiful church with a beautiful dedication to serving God and God’s people.

There are 2 churches on UA-cam that teach all of the Bible chapter by chapter and verse by verse. They show the original language translations from Hebrew and Greek when needed to get the true meaning of what is being said. "The Shepherds Chapel" and "Fresh Start NDPM".
Shepherds Chapel are Mormons
Shepherds, chapel is my church
Be careful of any deceiving, and ask God to enlight you.
Shepherds Channel is Arminian and thus is *Heretical* ! Arminianism is a Confirmed and Condemned *Damnable Heresy* and has been *Rejected* by the one, true, Reformed, Calvinist, Christian Church since 1619. Repent and Believe the Gospel of Grace to be Saved.
I just recently found this channel, and Im really happy to find such quality and practical content with functional visuals. Keep up good work. I can feel the God working through your service.
I have been going to a church for a few months now and I realize it is right for my family and I because it focuses on prayer and only the teachings of God's Word as the only truth.
Blessed word of God 😇🙏
“Is the church run like a business?” needs to be in there too
Can you give an example
@user-qz7hf8vk6v remember that churches are non profit organisation, so if they sell merchandise, for example and another sign is to check the pastors if they come in very fancy thing every week. But that will require to know them like the job the work at outside church
That's pretty vague. Every organization needs to be run like a "business."
@@adoe2305 definitely Not a church. The book Organic Church shows how a real church should look like and how it should be run
@ann4192 if you ask me, a business needs to run efficiently and effectively. If they're not, it will fail. Just like a church. Therefore, a church should be ran like a business.
People throw around business like it's a dirty word, but everything is business. You should also run your own finances like a business.
Efficient and effective operations allow for prosperity and growth.
I'm not trying to argue with you, I'm pointing out that your comment doesn't make sense. Take it as you will.
I'm happy to say my church is a great one I go to; I've been going to it ever since I was a kid. God is truly great!
Also I LOVED the art here XD
I visited one church and the preacher was quoting Stephen King (the horror novelist) in a positive manner. There were other problems with that church, so needless to say I did not go back. A good church rooted in the Word of God is definitely a blessing.
I haven't been a part of a church for over 15 years and my faith and relationship with God is stronger than most people I know that attend church. My advise to anyone looking to belong to a church is to change your thinking and start a house group along the lines of the early believers see acts2v42-47 and Acts4v32-37. The early Christians were a Christian Ekklesia and NOT a church
Very good I've been trying to find a bible believing Church
I went to a mormon church and was never taught about stories in the bible. I waa brainwashed. I stopped going when I was in my mid teens. This video is so helpful❤. God bless everyone in the comments
I am curious, what were you taught in the Mormon church?
I was taught about Nephi and the about what meaning of being a Mormon was. I forgot the book that we read at church but it wasn't the Bible for sure.
6:00 I must say, you really portrayed Jesus’ anger with the people in the temple really well. That drawing of Jesus is absolutely amazing.

Our church was prophetically closed by God when they contemplated a same sex marriage wedding celebration on the premises. So, a small group of women have developed a Lady's Sabbath Bible Study for the past 3 years through Zoom cause we live in different locations. We support each other with prayer and counseling advice, and have covered many books of the Bible including Revelation that was never covered in church. Thank you for this video.

If we translate Peter’s name (Petros) literally in Matthew 16 18 it reads, “You are rock, and upon this rock I will build my church.” This makes Peter a prime candidate for being that to which “this” refers to.
Don't forget to pray to God to find a church for you. I prayed in earnest and less the 24 hours he answered.
So you wound up at a Catholic Church?
@@Frankie5Angels150😅
Glad to see my church is a good church!! I love how my Pastor gives sermons from the Bible, not her interpretation. She uses the concordance and is definitely encouraging to read the Bible on your own time. Prayer is also huge in my church, an hour every sunday service, tuesday prayer, and prayer on wednesday night service. Theres also monday evening worship, friday youth group, friday and tuesday bible studies, deaf ministry on saturday, and a whole host of other things almost every day of the week.
Women should keep quiet in the church
Sorry to say this, but respectfully; a woman pastor speaking / preaching to women and men is unbiblical.
If it was just to children and women then no problem at all.
@@333steven Wrong. Paul was talking about a certain situation at that time. By your logic, women can only ask question from their husbands and at home, and slavery should be allowed. Now, go tell Jesus he was wrong by having Mary Magdalene teach the men of his resurrection.

and i think that their up bringing plays a huge role on that.
i love this! thank you for your suggestion
Amen!❤ Your videos are soooo good! Thank you!
We have been jumping between churches for a while, we had found one earlier this year but there were bad things going on between two family's and the pastor wouldn't call them out because one guy of the two families was his fishing buddy. We have found one that i like and have friends at, I'm just hopping it will be good church over all and we get to stay please pray!
Thank you for saying church should be simple. I’ve said those words for decades.
Jesus also said that It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. If your church is going to the wrong direction, and you feel it, is it wise to abandon it? If people who want to build His kingdom always go to the "good" churches, how do the "bad" churches change? Instead of only going to good churches, pray for the bad churches in your area, and be the blessed tool in God's hand who helps with fixing it! God bless you all!❤
You do make a good point, but let me ask a question: how would they respond if you told them they were going the wrong direction? If they respond positively; they ask what they're doing wrong and how to fix it--it would be best if you have multiple people with the same disagreement so that it doesn't become a Christian version of a he-said-she-said case. In this situation, yes there's some good you can do there. Not every disagreement is a problem though; whether you and the pastor agree whether the serpent in the Garden of Eden was Satan or not is not the same as if the pastor is saying Jesus and/or God are trans. (There are, unfortunately, pastors who do believe the latter disagreement)
But not everyone who is sick wants to be cured in this analogy. Some would at best just ignore your feedback and at worst actively deride and discredit you. Those ones you can't help. You can and should pray for them if God puts it on your heart, but I would recommend finding a better church.
I hope this helps answer your question :)
As we can see in the parable of the soils, the sower did the job exactly the same in every case, but a seed can only grow properly if the soil is good. Thank you for your point!:))
You are correct, bad churches need missionaries just as much as uncontacted tribes halfway around the world do, but it's also true that those missionaries need a way to strengthen their own faith. So if you do go to a bad church for the sake of evangelism, I would argue that you also need to go to a good church to make sure you're not slipping into the teachings of the bad church.
It's a difficult undertaking for sure, and it might cause a strain on your schedule. Maybe attend the bad church on Sunday mornings, witness to people then (because from the video, the bad church is unlikely to be meeting any other time), and attend the good church on Wednesday nights.
3:03 LOL! @ speech bubble
For Catholics, Matthew 16 18 is a key passage when establishing a biblical basis for the papacy: “And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it.”
Acts 15 when the church gathers together Peter gives a report of his ministry, Paul gives a report of his ministry, and interestingly James (the brother of Jesus), the head of church at the time, issues the Jerusalem decree. The verse you quoted is referring to Peter’s statement that “You are the Christ the son of God” and on that rock Christ does build His church.
This is bad interpretation on 2 beliefs that are not correct and the one bad interpretation on this video. The Church Fathers canceled out many heresies throughout the early centuries. These are the following corrections:
1) There is only one true church and Jesus left the key with Peter. The Church he left was with the Apostles. The Pope is the head Apostle at that time. The Church Jesus left us has had Apostolic succession from the beginning and had an unbroken chain of Popes from the beginning. The one institution that can declare heresies is the Magesterium - basically Apostles throughout the 2,000 years of the Church's existence. So Jesus did not leave a menu of "bible believing churches" one can join if their twitching ears like. So all the items of the basics of the Church were okay except the last one - @ 3:27 which says "faith alone." Faith alone is one of the Solas of the Protestant beliefs brought into being near the Schism started by Martin Luther in October 31, 1517. This created a Schism an created the man made churches which have over 30,000 denominations (some bringing back heresies and some even believing those 5 other must haves on the video. So this one passage has been used to deny the authority of Peter, Acts 15. This has been rebuked over and over again. It is a very weak argument (or maybe even a misinterpretation).
2) Jesus had no brothers. So James is not a literal blood brother as there is no word for cousin in Hebrew. The Virgin Mary's name is not only a description, but also a title. St. Joseph had consecrated his chastity to God and so had the Virgin Mary. The true Husband of the Virgin Mary is the Holy Spirit. We consider saying Jesus had brothers as blasphemy. Jesus himself said to Lucia one of the 3 kids that the Virgin Mary appear to at Fatima, Portugal. Jesus said to Lucia why a certain devotion he asked for called the 5 First Saturdays. Well Lucia asked why 5 Saturdays. An Jesus exact answer was this:
Our Lord told Sr Lucia that the 5 Saturdays represent the offences against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
“My daughter, the reason is simple. There are five types of offenses and blasphemies committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary:
1. Blasphemies against the Immaculate Conception;
2. Blasphemies against Her Virginity;
3. Blasphemies against Her Divine Maternity, in refusing at the same time to recognize Her as the Mother of men;
4. The blasphemies of those who publicly seek to sow in the hearts of children, indifference, or scorn or even hatred of this Immaculate Mother;
5. The offenses of those who outrage Her directly in Her holy images. Here, my daughter, is the reason why the Immaculate Heart of Mary inspired Me to ask for this little act of reparation. . (May 29,1930)
So learn that Jesus had NO LITERAL BROTHERS and that THE VIRGIN MARY REMAINED A VIRGIN ETERNALLY once and for all.
3) 3:27 Faith alone is not correct, again declared in the Protestant heresies. This is cherry-picking verses. The often quoted verse for this is wrong for two reasons. One when you read the rest of the chapter it is refuted instantly. Works has always been a teaching of Jesus just look at the Beatitudes. And in many other places. Doing works is how you show God and brothers or neighbors love. People would not want to show empty handed when you meet God. There are two kinds of works in the bible: 1) works of the law and 2) works of love. Works of the law were following Jewish laws. Learn the differences.
Lastly, good news Jesus did have cousins. Learn about St. Jude. And also if given a verse in response to a question read the entire chapter, it typically changes their answer.
The Holy Bible is the most Catholic book I know. The second one is the Cathecism, but it is based on the bible and Apostolic tradition.
You want to know the most important parts of the bible to bring people to the Catholic Church, the Last Supper and specially John 6. Jesus is literally in the Catholic Church specially in the these 3 Sacraments:
1) Confession or Penance
2) Holy Communion
3) Ordination - Holy Orders (like the Levites in the Old Testament)
Remember, Jesus left one Church, one Truth (or one true path - John 6). Read the whole book of John. He did not leave a menu of options.
May God bless you all and may the Holy Spirit guide you to discern the correct Church. Remember, the Holy Spirit is the only spouse of the Virgin Mary.
Watch EWTN's Journey Home for encouragement in finding Jesus and heaven here on earth.
@@rc72e Nice to see your correct interpretation 👍🏻
Every Wednesday, my Church has a such thing called “Wednesday night church” which is for teaching youth more about Christianity. When we got older,(6-7 and higher grades) they start to get real with us. Asking questions such as, “Are you being real with yourself?” “Do you truly love god?” “Is this your final choice?” And thus forth. I think those are valuable questions that should be asked.
As a minor who’s almost the only Christian in my family, it can be hard doing this alone, but then I remember that I’m not alone. I have Jesus.
Love the Ravenhill quote. Almost as many tonight at our church as there are on Sundays.
I wish i had someone i could bible study 1 on 1 with and connect together with God. ❤ i thought my christian friend would want that with me but ends up he has other desires and is too busy to make time for me. I feel kind of lost....
@xaviereng5754 praying for you!
Yup thanks for all the information. And i am glad to say my catholic church perish is total amazing and let me alot closer to god. Glory to jesus amen
He's leading people astray towards Protestant nonsense.
@@BlastToTheRescue True that. This whole nonsense about finding 'a good church' is pointless when Jesus founded only one church and chose Peter to lead it (Matthew 16:18). Also read Isaiah 22:22 for context of the 'keys'.
@@tiju.jAttend the Latin Mass. This is God centered.
@RosaryEnjoyer He literally calls out all orthodox and catholic churches at 3:29 when he says faith alone saves. Had to stop listening after he said that.
@RosaryEnjoyer I just realized that he mentioned " belive Jesus died on the cross for you only " your right believing without works is pointless
Ive been to 2 chruches in the 3 years ive been a christian. Ive been to both in total of 4 days. Because all i saw was a lack of order. More worship songs then actual sermons that teach about the bible and how to live the way god wants you.
I grew up catholic. Although thanks to Catholicism i became an atheist at the ripe age of 10. There was alot of order, and was so turned off from the christian chruch because both chruches spent 10-20 minutes out of the 3 hour service on the actual sermon.
Like i go online and watch 1-2 hour sermons. To actually LEARN the word of God. And it sad because i have no friends. And i really want christian mom friends.
Ask God to send you Christian friends. Visit a Seventh Day Adventist church.
@@alvinaelliott8722 SDA are a Non Christian Cult! Repent and Believe the Gospel of Grace to be Saved! Judaizers will *Not* Inherit the Kingdom of Heaven!
We've been a member of this church for so long every Sunday, every month tithing. Temple attendance. We're taught tobe all world wide family which is nice to hear that we had world wide family... until one day we found the corruption of the leadership 😢 ... I was shocked and hurt. We pray and pray ... the answer was really strong get out... time and years to decide knowing that we will leave our friends for so long... we find the stre gh to go.. we left the church and were happier peace and were reading just the holy bible.. I watch ministry in the t.v. and how wrong we were to believe them... now we're looking for a new church I hope and pray will find it soon. Were in Uk .
I’m one of many Christians who have had enough of institutional religion and have left church to follow Jesus more authentically.
Ex-Catholic here. The best decision I ever made was to convert and accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I stopped those repetitive and void acts, as I felt like I never had a relationship with Jesus. Now, as a newly born Christian, I am trying to lead Bible studies. At the moment, there are only two of us, but I know that nothing is impossible for the Lord; He can work through me and help me become a better leader. Remember, Jesus loves you! Have a great day today. ❤
This is an honest and serious question, but aren't Catholics also Christians? Don't they believe in Jesus?
Broadly, Roman Catholicism differs from other Christian churches and denominations in its beliefs about the sacraments, the roles of the Bible and tradition, the importance of the Virgin Mary and the saints, and the papacy.
@@masonridgewell8063 well, catholicism at its core IS Christian. But the sad truth is that a lot of catholic churches nowadays are very corrupted, ignoring scripture and falling to political correctness. Granted, not ALL catholic churches are like this, but a very good majority are. Even if you focus on the better half of catholicism there are still a lot of bad practices including but not limited to: praying to Mary, Peter, and a lot of people in the Bible who should NOT be worshipped. that is idolatry, heresy, AND blasphemy (it's a 3 in 1!) Again, not ALL churches say this, but a lot say it. Most don't believe that faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. They think that salvation is based off Jesus AND good works. Unfortunately, Paul does not agree: 'For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God'
Ephesians 2:8
@@masonridgewell8063 How can they be Christian,while they do the opposite of what the bible says,their pope is accepting gay marriage,idolatry,would u call this Christians?
@@UnholyRaven_Orthodox is cool tho
Amen thank you for this amazing video once again you’ve made my day and many others❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I would add dont go to a church thats more like a concert than a time of worship
Yes! Enough with the liking it because it plays cool loud music. Or, as some geniuses called it: the 7-11 service. 7 words repeated 11 times.
Amen 🙏🏽
That's a big difference I've noticed. I wouldn't say that a church that dims the lights and puts a spotlight on the band during worship is automatically a bad church, I mean, I went to one of those in college. But I would say it's more like, you don't want a church where it feels like you're not invited to participate in the worship.
My current church does a much better job -- the lights are on through the whole room during worship, and they only really use the spotlight when the pastor is preaching.
But I wouldn't say my old church is heretical just because of that. I would just say it was more targeted towards younger people. I think this can be a factor in choosing a church, but I would not leave a church based entirely on that. The people and the teachings are what makes or breaks a specific church.
Yeah my friend warned me about those types of churches as well
@@Ryuki282 those churches fill a need for people to feel like they did something without doing something. They are the planet fitness of churches
This is very useful. Me and my family are in the process of finding a new church as we are currently separating from our previous church. Im 18 and im starting to look at churchs separately from my parents just because im wondering whats out there. This will help me out greatly
I'm not able to go to church at this time in my life, but I pray everyday, read my Bible, and pray to God. ✝️🙏
i mean my current church has me confused. like they show the love of God to people and to others, they have an amazing welcoming church family, there's prayer meetings on sundays, but...
some people in our church do believe some sort of false teaching, and my church has never talked about being sinners.
i mean they talked about why Jesus died and what not, but they never asked anyone to repent or anything.
so i still don't know how to discern if it's a good church or not...
I used to go to a church like that. It wasn't until I found a church that preached repentance, where I heard elders confessing their own sins in my small breakout group at a prayer meeting, that I realized confession and repentance is where all the power of the gospel is.
No it's not a good church. Go find a different one.
