Thank you for this sermon. I am from Sweden and dont have a church to go to, they have all gone woke here in my city,so I listen to your sermons a lot. Here in Sweden we pay 34% Tax. May God bless you. ✝️❤
Same here.
You are not alone! Apologia Church has helped me reach the lost even in my small town in America. God has used Apologia church mightily! We will be praying for you to shine the light of Christ in Sweden!
I feel you. Not much better in my church. At least I have friends and family that really want to follow Christ and fear the Lord.

Surely there are catholic churches in Sweden? They are more resistant to wokeness
Are you able to form a house church? I’m sure you aren’t the only real Christian in Sweden.
I feel so lost. Took 250k loan on a degree that has a poor job market and I lost passion for it. I have no desire to get married. I lost desire in idle talk from others and just most activities. All I have is Christ now. That’s all I knew I had. I know God will get me out of this but it takes daily prayer on my knees and constant prayer throughout my day.
How blessed are you that Christ is upholding you even in darkness.
Prayers! God is all we need do not loose hope look to Christ.
What’s the degree for?
Perhaps you could think of it this way… You’ve ALWAYS only had Christ before. When you took out your loan you had a plan and a dream for your life maybe God was in your life maybe he was or perhaps you thought you were doing him honor by what you were doing, but God has stripped you away from that, and that he’s touched your desire for those things. But he has said be content, for I will never leave you or forsake you… And he has said nothing you do in him for him is in vain… And he has said seek for the kingdom of God in his righteousness, and all these things will be added onto you. Perhaps now is the beginning For you.
@@adamslaura768 your absolutely right. It’s only when I’m in deep sorrows that I actually start praying intensely and on my knees and then collapsed fully on the ground. I slowly coming to understanding of the uncertainty and utter devastation with the apostles and other biblical characters like Job. I see the Eucharist in a brand new light. I know now that I will never get any fulfillment from this world or from any job or relationship. Only thing I have is Christ and His body and blood
for me, a broken, stupid sinner.
I believe that the whole world should listen to this sermon!
Sermon starts @ 2:57
Love pastor Jeff’s preaching. There is always so much conviction in his preaching that leads to a renewed mind and repentance. Soli Deo Gloria! What a blessed church!
Great message! Create in me a clean heart o God, I can’t do it on my own
Thank you for your boldness for the Gospel, a true example of how we should be, thankful you stood up to Andy Stanley and the other guy, to love is to tell the truth even when it’s not a popular view, I pray we all will love more and stand against the tide that seems so swelling coming upon us, God Bless
Pastor Jeff Durbin, May the Lord continue in His gracious love for you. We need more Pastors and Churches that are grounded in The Bible like you all at Apologia Church. God be with you.
I loved this message Pastor Durbin. Biblically based, fiery, unapologetic, true to the word, thorough, exegetical!
I’ve been slandering people. Judging. I must stop. I have to stop, I want to stop. Instead only have compassion and understanding, pray and hope peace for everyone. And feel sorry for those that say and do hurtful things. I must be better for everyone and god. For my children. For everything. Thank you.
You wrote exactly what I've been praying for myself! Thank you for your courage.
Proverbs 13:3 in Other Translations
3 Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
3 Those who control their tongue will have a long life; opening your mouth can ruin everything.
3 Careful words make for a careful life; careless talk may ruin everything.
Glad to see you back in action
Pastor Jeff Durbin was cooking!! 🔥 🔥
Remember that the Book of Proverbs is a book of principles, not promises.
Thank you Apologia team!
Amen. Grant me a humble heart, walk in wisdom.
This sermon was like Jeff must have been in my head…like literally….smh🙏🏻
Such a biblical truth!
Wise words!
40:00 The same law passed in Uganda needs to be adopted in America, and throughout the world, in dealing with this population.
Glorify yourself Lord. There is so much pride in us, constantly show us where we're broken. That we will desire You in our lives. God has given these long 6:12 stings of thought. 💭Those who live in darkness, long discourses. Like a vitamin like a verse, so much wisdom find it illustrated another way in Proverbs. This one summaries so much of what the rest of the chapter says. One fell swoop, whosever despises the Word, brings destruction to himself. Fear the Lord. Submission to God. Fools despise wisdom and correction.
This was so dope & meaningful. God bless y’all! Keep on preparing us to fight giants

At 15:20.. my son is mormon... this hit me hard! He sites the book of Mormon like its the only Word
Life in the flesh is but a flash. Help my physical and suffering Christ. You are my God. Your Word will never pass. I love You.
Really wish Jeff would reconsider his Calvinist position. Really love the man.
Amen!!!
Amen!
Amen 🙏
Luke 24:32 New King James Version (NKJV)
And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?”
This is what LDS people are referring to when speaking of the witness of the Holy Ghost testifying of truth with a burning in the bosom.
I'm in Australia and our taxes are at least 50% or more depending on your earnings. How much judgement are we under
This is how that "judgment" works: Durbin argues that if society followed God, taxes wouldn't exist. Clearly, however, we still need roads, police, a social safety net of *some* kind etc. So, the money still has to come from *somewhere.* The answer is found in a common refrain heard from American Evangelicals, "Churches should handle that!" It comes up a lot when people talk about things like welfare and medicaid. Evangelicals want religion to have a monopoly over these things, so that they can hold them over the public to control them. That's Durbin's implicit model. A "godly" society could just replace government with churches.
I don’t think anyone is doing a good job of explaining what “the law” is that we are still under and/or no longer under. It’s just this label “the law” that’s slapped on the OT and thrown around in sermons, for or against obedience/grace.
If any of y’all at Apologia see this, please make a sermon or video thoroughly explaining what EXACTLY in the Old Testament “law” are we supposed to still adhere to? What are we not?
I agree. I love the message but that caught my attention as well.
😳🙏❤️
Throughout my life as a member of Christs Church, I have noticed a pattern of behavior that sets us apart from many Evangelical Christians. This behavior is tied to how both parties approach communicating with people not of their faith.
Generally, many Evangelical Christians have approached members of the church and others with an attempt to deconstruct and tear down others faiths, in a hope that the void left by their previous faith will be filled with Christs True Gospel. The intensity and method of this tearing down process varies significantly, but many prominent and lay Evangelicals alike seem to think this is the most effective way to begin the conversion process.
As for many members of the church, they seem to approach the situation by building upon the faith and knowledge of the person they are interacting with. This also looks different from person to person, and doesn't mean there aren't beliefs or practices that are harmful or false that go unadressed, but the method is usually working from what people do know and understand about truth.
Members of the church, and the brethren themselves over the decades have used the approach of building and clarifying existing faith demonstrated in the scriptures themselves.
-The Sermon on the Mount (Matt 5-7) was Christ building upon the law of Moses, and elevating it to the highest and holiest way. While Christ fulfilled the law, he never tore down others faith that existed, but built on it by expanding their knowledge and understanding of the law.
-Acts 17 demonstrates Paul's ability of teaching in a way the Athenians could understand, while also affirming the faith they already had. While it was incomplete, and placed in idolatry, he made sure to point to the fact they have a desire to be connected with and follow God.
-Galatians 3:24 treats the law of Moses as a stepping stone for discovery and acceptance of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, not a foreign creature that is completely contrary and evil. This verse suggests that others faiths, while incomplete and missing important truths, are a vital part of getting them to the real faith in the first place.
Here is a quote from late LDS Apostle Marvin J. Ashton in 1985. "Never will peace and hatred be able to abide in the same soul. Permanent peace will elude those individuals or groups whose objective is to condemn, discredit, rail at, or tear down those whose beliefs are different from their own. These people live by hatred and would destroy others insofar as it is in their power to do so. True Christians have no time for contention."
You are literally misusing scripture to justify your Mormon beliefs. All Christians with any understanding of the Bible know that Joseph Smith was a false prophet. We are clearly instructed to call out false prophets and teachers. The Bible is FILLED with these commands.
Dear family In Christ Jesus please pray for torch of Christ ministries In Haiti Blair and the team need you're prayers they are going into the prison to preach God's word tomorrow much love Kathleen
PROVERBS 1:1-7 take this CHAPTER to be Sunday SERMON!!! From this chapter find WISDOM 2:12-20 from CATHOLIC BIBLE and then take ISAIAH 53 and find the TRUTH…
Here's another question for someone:
The Pastor just stated that they wanted another King.Ok, well what IF there were three people out of the entire nation of Israel who were HAPPY WITH GOD AS KING? Why should they have to be included in that judgment? Why does God collectively judge?
They weren’t. God restored the Israel of God in the first century
When this is the case god is merciful to those.
The for instance Caleb and Joshua in exodus, they are the only ones who made it into the promise land.
But the idea of “federal headship”
Is all over the Bible. Adam was our federal head and his sin caused us to have a sin nature. Some might say that this is wrong but the fact is.. he was a perfect representative of us. We would fair no better in his place if offered the fruit. Now this idea is what is good about being represented by someone..
Christ is now our representative. Collectively he gives us righteousness.
Where we are judged collectively for Adam’s sin and our sins are forgiven collectively by christs active and passive obedience.
This is how federal headship works.
Sin and righteousness affect those under the headship.
I completely get what you are saying so let me throw something else at you with the federal headship in mind.
I am a wise steward with my money.
The people who run our government, aren't
They collectively represent me.
I don't agree at all with what THEY are doing TO me.
I have to hold dollars that are losing value.
We have a huge welfare program which I disagree with but collectively again, they represent society as a whole, not as individuals.
I am still affected however because I have to pay taxes to fund programs for illegals and for those gaming they system
I also am not FOR war, not for supporting Ukraine financially nor for policing the world. HOwever, they represent me and my country (us) collectively.
Where is God's mercy in that when our pensions are bust, 401ks are gone, a large majority of us are sucking the teat of the government but I am still His child? Is it in the fact that THOUGH i might be experiencing all of that, He is with me, and ultimately I am HIs, saved and sealed for all eternity and that my salvation can neve ever be taken from me?
Pretty difficult to NOT look at God allowing ALL of us to collectively suffer just because the U.S. (our "leasders") know they are losing their footing on the global stage. I mean I already live 200% below the poverty line.

The inflation rate and fall of America is a consequence of sin and very likely a judgement from god.
The sins of our fathers and of our own generation has consequences.
These consequences are spoken about in proverbs, the rich oppress the poor, the wicked steal from the widows the list is long.
Now when we look at how god uses the unjust suffering of law abiding Americans who love and trust him in order to sanctify them to trust him more. We see Jesus saying that they will take from you everything. But they can’t take me from you.
Life, houses, money, rights, freedom. Etc.
all these things are not to be compared with christs salvation.
Paul calls them rubbish gladly given away.
To attain Christ.
Jesus says a wise man finds a treasure and “gladly” sells all he has to acquire the land the treasure is on.
I’d say when you look at your finances and see them dwindling, the lord is treating you as job. With loving tender kindness.
So you won’t be swayed by the love of money. Proving your faith to the onlooking angels and perfected saints to the shame of Satan!!
Jesus is his true love not money. Not position not power or comfort of future security in a healthy 401k!! Look he trusts me!
Unjust suffering is rewarded by god James speaks of the man who “if you suffer unjustly and not grumble it is a gracious thing in the sight of god.”
Now did you deserve any of this?
Yes, because if you got what you really deserved you’d be in hell. With me.
It is a gracious thing the lord allows us to gain silver gold and precious jewels by our actions of upright faithfulness to him here.
His servants are working and they are gaining riches for an everlasting kingdom.
What happens when you're the Christian doing your best to obey Jesus, wanting to do so, but your life is falling apart? Meanwhile, you have family (that you love) but who don't have any interest in God and yet they have everything you don't have - jobs, romantic partners, children, grandchildren, pets, vacation. In other words, a life? I'm trying so hard. I want to obey Him and am doing my best, in a very difficult situation. But I have nothing right now. I see loved ones who don't even go to church anymore and they seem to be doing so much better in so many ways. The pain is unbearable. Why would they want to follow Christ if they may end up like me? It's a fair question. I just don't know what to do anymore. All I want is to follow Jesus. But it's so, so hard.
I'm really sorry to hear of your suffering Yesica. Please don't withdraw yourself from fellowship. Perhaps talk to your pastor.
I feel you, sister. I've struggled over some of the same things over the last year. But I've been repentant, continuing in prayer, and suffering long. I moved back to a state I'm not partial to, but this is where the family lives. They don't seem to care how they live. However, he's been growing a new family where we live and these are people from multiple churches we've been to as well. I think he'll make my family jealous of my Christian family just as he did with the jews 🤷♂️
If your life looks like the rest of the world, you are not a child of God. God provides for His children what is good. He will teach you not to worry as He promised in Matthew ch 6. Pray, trust and wait on God. Then give thanks when he provides.
Nobody knows how it works but God. See our buddy Job. I think the devil comes hard at those that are with Him. Don't value what the devil shows you. The rewards aren't here. The real rewards are eternal not material. God bless you!
It was in my suffering where I realized that no matter what hard times I fell on, God has always remained faithful and I found trust in Him like I had never felt. He is still faithful and I have what I need to provide for my family.
WE MUST KNOW *HIM,* WHO ALL POWER/SPIRIT COMES FROM:
All power comes from the Father.
Jesus is the only way to the power and spirit, which belongs to God the Father. He who has the Son’s words, but believes on God has found eternal life (John 5:24). Jesus is perfect, and he is the only one to look to for eternal life (John 14:6). As Christians, whatever Jesus does, we are to do likewise. Jesus said God the Father gave him life (John 5:26). We must have a new life. Jesus said “all power was GIVEN to him” (Matthew 28:18). We must also have that same power in us. Jesus said it is by the spirit of God that lives in him that casts out demons, not his own (Matthew 12:28). We must have that same spirit in us. Jesus prays to the Father and tells us to do the same (Matthew 6:9-13). Jesus is the only man who has seen the Father and can tell of him (John 1:18). Jesus said the Father is the only true God (John 17:3), and we must know the same.
You cannot destroy yourself. God does as he pleases. He destined you for destruction
well, here's a quiestion for someone:
God requires His children to take DOMINION. To step UP and to act as HIS hands and feet. What do you do with an elderly man or woman, whose spouse has died, the Lord never blessed them with children and they are bankrupt due to medical issues? They were good with their money but their money ran out due to extreme cancer costs. When NO ONE steps up, from the church that is, and takes NO HEED to God's word, to care for the elderly, then does that old person sleep on a bench? No. In their car? No
They go to the GOVERNMENT for help since the church didn't step up.And what does that mean?
Well, it means that elderly person is ASKING the government to cover their rent or, something else that they personally cannot afford. They apply for Section 8.
Why? Because no one stepped up.
Section 8 STEALS money from one group in order to cover the cost of houising for another.
Why? Are you going to tell me that every single solitary home in the United State of America has not one open bedroom?
I think not.
You see, collectively we are at where we are at as a nation because WE COLLECTIVELY WANT BIG GOVERNMENT.
If you have no one stepping up, pulling from their own finances to help, well, what do you expect?
Oh wait. Most people in the church are in debt so they can't help anyway.
Hmmm.
Interesting.
Wow what a title!! Discouraging indeed! How to destroy yourself?? Really? At least title it with encouragement,

Mother god?... More like mother goose 😂
How to destroy yourself 101. First step. God predestined you to destroy yourself.
Remember Christ died for only some people right Jeff?
If you believe everything that comes to pass is ordained or decreed by God, you can not destroy yourself, only God decreed you to destroy yourself, therefore God destroyed you for his glory. Does that sound like Jesus Christ, the God of the Bible?
Nailed it.
It’s called free will. When we make a conscious choice to disobey the Word of God we are also defying His will. One can’t be led by God if they’re choosing to lead themselves
Yea Calvinism is far from the truth compared to Orthodoxy or Catholicism. I still like how Durbin speaks though.
You have very little understanding of the fall, sin, human nature, man’s depravity, Gods grace, and Gods holiness.
@@ReformedRabbit you are following the wrong J C! The grace that brings salvation has appeared to all men Titus 3
According to Calvinism, destroying oneself was decreed.
What's your point? It's decreed that some would not destroy themselves because of this sermon
@@roguecalvinist Topic is "How To Destroy Yourself 101". Why is such a sermon/teaching needed if all is decreed? That's my point.
@@ASpeakingHuman you're not considering the sermon being decreed for a purpose also, it's stepping in and out of the position as if the sermon somehow has free will to exist. Or as if Jeff was not ordained to give this particular sermon for a particular reason, you're not following the logic all of the way through
@@roguecalvinist@roguecalvinist After an exhaustive study of Calvinism, I am convinced it is NOT scriptural. It's a continuation of Augustinian Manichenaism picked up by John Calvin ( a man trained to be a Priest and a lawyer who wrote his Institutes at the age of 26), who executed a man in Geneva because he did not believe in infant baptism.
@@ASpeakingHumanhey, you qualified the statement by saying that you studied and then capitalized the word "not" for affect. That makes it true
I know all that "let`s go back to the gold backed system" sounds logical. It`s not. It only sounds logical to ultra reactionaries and those who don`t understand the modern economy. I (barely) know enough to know that I usually need to defer to more professional minds to understand it. That`s life in a wonderful Democratic Republic. Through the division of labor, we try to put our best minds specialized on the topic of any given issue. Jeff, for example, is a Genius level mind for understanding Spirituality. Calvanist Eschatology, specifically. The economy, not so much.
It`s not that our system isn`t backed by anything. It isn`t backed by gold (who`s mineral and practical value isn`t what you think it is). It`s backed by what is known as "physial capital" which includes the American economy`s physical infrustructure (factory`s and stuff), it`s supporting infrastructure (roads and bridges, the millitary, etc.), the health and capability of the workforce, and its potential to produce. It`s more resilliant and responsive than a comodities backed system.
This is called "dog whistling." Pastor Jeff (at least) has a ton of scriptural substance to go along with his (and doesn`t do it as much as some) but it is still "dog whistling" you into the alt-right. It`s un Christian if you ask me but what do I know, I`m "Churchy Liberal."
At least our star (Taylor Swift) is rising.😇
LOL! You went from lecturing us on economics (which you even admit you barely know enough about it) to "alt-right"? LOL!
I'll say this as respectfully as possible. You don't know what you are talking about, and not only that, you are pushing your own agenda instead of God's agenda. God's word talks plenty of how economies were run and how they fell. What you are talking about is not one of those issues.
@@Advisory_Vessel you are making my point for me. The ancient world wasn`t gold backed based on its mineral or practical value. Was it?
@@Yesica1993 Jeff was lecturing you. Iwas telling him to stay in his lane. You are being indoctrinated into dog whistle alt-right politics. I`m trying to set the captives free.
@jayhooey9961 I never said that once. What I did say is that God's word contains how economies where ran and what ruined them. What you are stating doesn't aline with his word. If you are not aligned with his word then you will fall in ruin. Need I say more?
