“God's command not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil: 'we can't eat of every tree... But the tree of knowledge of good and evil, we cannot eat thereof.'”
A sermon warning believers about Lucifer's deceptive tactics — his ability to masquerade as an angel of light and use fleshly conduits (media, relationships, desires) to blind people ('eyes wide shut'). The preacher explains biblical examples (Paul's warnings, Ephesians 6, Genesis 3), exposes practical conduits of deception, and exhorts the congregation to prayer, Scripture, vigilance, and repentance.
“Paraphrase of God's command: 'Of every tree of the garden you may eat; but of the tree in the midst of the garden you shall not eat...in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.'”
A first sermon in a series called "The Luciferian Affect" using Ezekiel 28 as a dualistic portrait (king of Tyre and Lucifer) to explain Satan's character, tactics, and how believers are affected — concluding with practical warnings and a call to trust Scripture, repent, and remain vigilant.
“That's what got Adam and Eve kicked out of the garden... the Lord told them, all of that is under your stewardship, but the first one in the midst of the garden, don't touch it.”
A Bible study teaching that generosity must be a cultivated culture in apostolic churches, rooted first in surrender to Christ. The sermon unpacks 2 Corinthians 8 and Acts to define four dimensions of giving—tithe (firstness), offerings (willingness/sacrifice), benevolence (body-conscious care), and shared resources (internal economic support)—and gives practical safeguards and applications for building a generous, mission-ready church.
“God just gave one command: 'just don't eat of this one tree.'”
Laurie Wilburn preaches from 1 Samuel 15 on the danger of selective obedience—how partial compliance with God's commands leads to judgment, loss of blessing, and the need for genuine repentance and wholehearted obedience.
