“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”[a] 6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:5-7 Our ego many times is the culprit
Thank you pastor John we need more sermons like this to wake us up and remember who is our Savior !! God hold our hands. You alone can save us. We love you Jesus!!!
I need a new heart. Help me to have a renewed heart daily Lord God.... I have been so stubborn Lord God forgive me I, I myself am responsible no one else
Concerning the millennium, in Revelation chapter 20...Those who are in the first resurrection who have been murdered due to their refusal to take the mark nor worship beast live and reign with Christ a thousand years . There must be unregenerate people (not living with Christ with the resurrected saints) still on earth. Scripture says that after Satan is loosed that he immediately lures the sinful people on earth to surround Jerusalem and try to attack God's people. God, however, sends fire from heaven and burns them up. Then the rebellion against God has been extinguished from earth and eternal punishment awaits them.
All denominations teach “Replacement Theology.” “Replacement Theology” teaches that the church (the body of Christ) has replaced Israel in God’s plan. Replacement Theology teaches that the Jews are no longer God’s chosen people, and God does not have future plans for the nation of Israel, and the many promises made to Israel in the Bible are fulfilled in the Christian church, not in Israel. Those that teach “Replacement Theology,” call Jesus Christ a “LIAR.” In Matthew 19:27-28 Jesus tells His apostles that when He sits on His throne, that the apostles will sit on 12 thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel. Again, in Luke 22:29-30 Jesus tells His apostles that they will eat and drink at His table in His kingdom, and judge the 12 tribes of Israel. Will denominations continue to tell you that Peter and Paul taught the same gospel? Will they say that they have never read these verses clearly? What will denominational preachers say about Hebrews 8:8-10, where it is written that in the future that God will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah? We read in Hebrews 8:8-10. Hebrews 10:8-10 8 - For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. 9 - Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. 10 - For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people. Are you still not satisfied? Do you still believe those who will tell you that God has cast His favored people aside and replaced them with the church? Then, as it says in Romans 3:4 “…let God be true, but every man a liar…” We see the truth in Romans Chapter 1 where Paul answers the question of whether God has cast away Israel - God’s people. “I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew…” Romans 1:1-2. Do we not see that “Replacement Theology” is false, and that these denominations are not of God, but of Satan?
Many of these posting videos and audios from Brother Pastor John MacArthur say false dates of origin. This is NOT from 4 months ago. This is from many years ago. Many of the new videos falsely give origin dates when these sermons were created. That is false. They should post the actual year at minimal when these were first recorded. That is truth. The other way of falsely posting false recording dates are LIES and that is SIN and deception.
The gospel changed after the cross... All denominations combine the gospel of the kingdom (which Jesus and the 12 taught) with the gospel of the grace of God, which ONLY Paul taught. The gospel that Jesus Christ taught is John 3:16 - " For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." With the John 3:16 (gospel of the kingdom) you have to keep the Law of Moses to be saved! Matthew 19:17 - ""And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." With the gospel of the kingdom, you have to endure until the end to be saved! Mathew 24:13- - "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. With the gospel of the grace of God (I Corinthians 15:1-4) we are saved (at the exact moment) when we believe the gospel. Ephesians 1:13-14 - "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. I Corinthians 15:1-4 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. The gospel of the grace of God is the gospel by which Jesus Christ was raised from the dead. II Timothy 2:8 - "Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel." We will be judged by Paul's gospel. Romans 2:16 - "In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel." Do you want to have your sins forgiven by Paul's gospel, be saved by believing Paul's gospel, and be raised from the dead by Paul's gospel, or do you want to listen to a false gospel preached by false denominational preachers? Things changed after the cross...
@@cindyrehder7311 So you are not aware that Jesus Christ gave the gospel of the grace of God to Paul? Have you not read Galatians 1:11-12? 11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. Have you not read...where Paul said... I Corinthians 11:1 "Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ." My question is...how much of God's word are you willing to deny in order to "OBEY" your denominational doctrines? I will tell you that shame and pride are soul-killers.

Things changed after the cross...
@@cindyrehder7311 Thank you and I wish you a good day and a great life in Christ. In reference to your question about what gospel our Apostle Paul taught please see #8 of the mysteries listed below. We need to understand that we would have no hope of resurrection without the gospel that Paul taught. Paul's Mysteries 1. The Mystery of God’s Wisdom - “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory.” 1 Corinthians 2:7. 2. The Mystery of the Resurrection “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.” 1 Corinthians 15:51. 3. The Mystery of His Will - Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself.” Ephesians 1:9. 4. The Mystery of Israel's Blindness - "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in." 5. The Mystery of Christ by Revelation - “How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ). Ephesians 3:3-4. 6. The Mystery of the Fellowship - “And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 3:9. 7. The Mystery of Christ and the Church - “This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.” Ephesians 5:32. 8. The Mystery of the Gospel - “And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel.” Ephesians 6:19. 9. The Mystery of the Indwelling Christ, the Hope of Glory - “Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Colossians 1:26-27. 10. The Mystery of Understanding - “That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ” Colossians 2:2.
Lordship salvation? Kidding, right? The reality is that by the time Jesus is Savior, He's already Lord. According to Ephesians 5:11, instructions are to have nothing to do with the deeds of darkness but rather expose them and according to 1 John 4:1, instructions are to test the spirits. Over the years, there has been quite a lot taught about Christianity. The problem is, many of those things simply are not in The Bible. Makes one wonder at times - Human opinion versus The Lord’s opinion...Wonder who would win? Additionally, Mosaic Law and/or other types of Legalism - Sad, huh? One thing to also remember is that there are dozens of each, cults and false religions. Many of them have done a SPECTACULAR job of messing up the gospel with either bogus teachings, fake literature based on fake Bibles and so on. Sometimes love must be tough. The desire is for everyone to hit as close to 100% as possible of everything for which The Lord created that person, self included. Since no one is perfect and there is no one righteous...AT ALL (Isaiah 64:6, John 8:7, Romans 3:10-12, Romans 3:21-26) and since also, Scripture is clear that knowledge puffs up while love builds up (1 Corinthians 8:1), the other desire is that everybody who is NOT born again comes to know what salvation is (2 Peter 3:8-9). Therein lies the motives. Salvation comes first. “Salvation by works” never works. No one is saved BY good works but rather UNTO them. HUMONGOUS difference (Isaiah 64:6, Matthew 5:13-16, John 6:29, Romans 11:6, Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 3:4-8). It is impossible to goody two shoes into Heaven. Jesus did 100% of everything salvation-wise (Mark 1:15, John 14:6, John 19:30). By comparison, a human does 100% of nothing (John 15:5). Salvation’s a GIFT, not a “WAGE” (Romans 6:23). The Lord is The CreatOR while we’re merely the creatED.) A person ultimately only affects him or herself and Forever’s a long time. (SIDE NOTE - The term “Christ” is a title, not a name. It means either “The Anointed One” or “Messiah”.) Rather than ask, “What would Jesus do?” Perhaps instead inquire as to what He may be doing in you. It’s more accurate and allowing Him to live in you is more feasible than merely trying to imitate behavior(s). According to both Matthew 7:15 and 1 John 4:1 we are instructed to both beware of those who behave like ravenous wolves as well as to test the spirits, according to Matthew 24:23-25 we are instructed to be cautious of false christs, in 2 Timothy 4:3-4 and James 4:3 we are told of people like “Word of Faith Movement”, “Prosperity Gospel”, “New Apostolic Reformation”, “Name It / Claim It”, “Progressive Christianity”, “Faith Healers”, “Social Gospel”, A.D. Era “Prophetic Ministries”, cults, false religions and so on. It’s only The Holy Spirit Who can guide into all truth (John 4:34-38, John 14:16-17, 26, John 16:13, 1 Corinthians 3:5-9), so the prayer is that the heart will be soft enough to recognize that truth when it arrives. As long as a person is able to identify from the heart with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus...ONLY...that person is justified (Galatians 2:20-21, Romans 5:10, Romans 6:5, 2 Corinthians 5:17). Anything above and beyond that is merely some human attempting to push some “religion”, or “sin management”, or “man-plan”. According to Romans 6:17-18, someone born again (or “born from above” - or “born anew” - John 3:1-6 - biblehub.com/greek/509.htm ) becomes obedient from the heart. The $10,000 question to ask would be one of MOTIVE - WHY do you do what you do? One doesn’t HAVE TO do things pertaining to Christianity, he or she GETS to. HUMONGOUS difference.) EVERYONE needs a savior (1 John 1:8-10). “...and the truth shall set you free” (John 8:31-32). (Proverbs 3:5-6, Proverbs 27:17, Hebrews 4:12, Hebrews 10:14, Jude 1:23, etc. are additional motives.) Psalm 118:8 implies that it’s better to trust in The Lord than it is to put confidence in man. “To sanctify” means “to set apart”. “To put to its intended purpose,” in other words. In Hebrews 10:14, “For all time” means (may I have a drumroll, please) “For all time”. (That’s spiritually-speaking, or course. The rest of you? Welcome to being human.) (ANOTHER SIDE NOTE - In some translations, “For all time” is worded as “Forever”, “To the end” or “For eternity”.)
I listened to a sermon from TH-cam yesterday with Pastor John's voice as a very young man, which also said it was from a few months back.Obviously this audio was many many years back from the time he first began his ministry . This is a constant deception being posted about the original dates of these recording from these sermons and need to be corrected . Stop this deception Immediately and post the correct recording dates when these sermons were first recorded. Tell the truth.
Check the about page of this channel and you'll see that it's specifically dedicated to old messages of ministers of the gospel. And pls there is no deception anywhere whatsoever
@@muktyleo I don't see any deception at all either. The problem here is the lack of discernment of some people. The posting dates are often different from the dates of the sermons. That's all! Thank you for your work. I can't get enough of this pastor's teachings. :)
Thank you for posting these old sermons. They are gems!! Excellent teaching to listen to and share. Very relevant for this time! Sharing

1 Thessalonians 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
All denominations teach “Replacement Theology.” “Replacement Theology” teaches that the church (the body of Christ) has replaced Israel in God’s plan. Replacement Theology teaches that
the Jews are no longer God’s chosen people, and God does not have future plans for the nation of Israel, and the many promises made to Israel in the Bible are fulfilled in the Christian church, not in Israel.
Those that teach “Replacement Theology,” call Jesus Christ a “LIAR.”
In Matthew 19:27-28 Jesus tells His apostles that when He sits on His throne, that the apostles will sit on 12 thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel.
Again, in Luke 22:29-30 Jesus tells His apostles that they will eat and drink at His table in His kingdom, and judge the 12 tribes of Israel.
Will denominations continue to tell you that Peter and Paul taught the same gospel? Will they say that they have never read these verses clearly?
What will denominational preachers say about Hebrews 8:8-10, where it is written that in the future that God will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah? We read in Hebrews 8:8-10.
Hebrews 10:8-10
8 - For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
9 - Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 - For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.
Are you still not satisfied? Do you still believe those who will tell you that God has cast His favored people aside and replaced them with the church? Then, as it says in Romans 3:4 “…let God be true, but every man a liar…”
We see the truth in Romans Chapter 1 where Paul answers the question of whether God has cast away Israel - God’s people. “I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God hath not cast
away his people which he foreknew…” Romans 1:1-2.
Do we not see that “Replacement Theology” is false, and that these denominations are not of God, but of Satan?
Whats up with the red square?
I know, I can't stand not to see Pastor's face as he preaches...🤔
Many of these posting videos and audios from Brother Pastor John MacArthur say false dates of origin. This is NOT from 4 months ago. This is from many years ago. Many of the new videos falsely give origin dates when these sermons were created. That is false. They should post the actual year at minimal when these were first recorded. That is truth.

The gospel changed after the cross...
All denominations combine the gospel of the kingdom (which Jesus and the 12 taught) with the gospel of the grace of God, which ONLY Paul taught.
The gospel that Jesus Christ taught is John 3:16 - " For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
With the John 3:16 (gospel of the kingdom) you have to keep the Law of Moses to be saved!
Matthew 19:17 - ""And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."
With the gospel of the kingdom, you have to endure until the end to be saved!
Mathew 24:13- - "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
With the gospel of the grace of God (I Corinthians 15:1-4) we are saved (at the exact moment) when we believe the gospel.
Ephesians 1:13-14 - "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
I Corinthians 15:1-4
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.
The gospel of the grace of God is the gospel by which Jesus Christ was raised from the dead.
II Timothy 2:8 - "Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel."
We will be judged by Paul's gospel.
Romans 2:16 - "In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel."

Therein lies the motives. Salvation comes first. “Salvation by works” never works. No one is saved BY good works but rather UNTO them. HUMONGOUS difference (Isaiah 64:6, Matthew 5:13-16, John 6:29, Romans 11:6, Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 3:4-8). It is impossible to goody two shoes into Heaven. Jesus did 100% of everything salvation-wise (Mark 1:15, John 14:6, John 19:30). By comparison, a human does 100% of nothing (John 15:5). Salvation’s a GIFT, not a “WAGE” (Romans 6:23). The Lord is The CreatOR while we’re merely the creatED.)
A person ultimately only affects him or herself and Forever’s a long time.
(SIDE NOTE - The term “Christ” is a title, not a name. It means either “The Anointed One” or “Messiah”.)
Rather than ask, “What would Jesus do?” Perhaps instead inquire as to what He may be doing in you. It’s more accurate and allowing Him to live in you is more feasible than merely trying to imitate behavior(s).
According to both Matthew 7:15 and 1 John 4:1 we are instructed to both beware of those who behave like ravenous wolves as well as to test the spirits, according to Matthew 24:23-25 we are instructed to be cautious of false christs, in 2 Timothy 4:3-4 and James 4:3 we are told of people like “Word of Faith Movement”, “Prosperity Gospel”, “New Apostolic Reformation”, “Name It / Claim It”, “Progressive Christianity”, “Faith Healers”, “Social Gospel”, A.D. Era “Prophetic Ministries”, cults, false religions and so on. It’s only The Holy Spirit Who can guide into all truth (John 4:34-38, John 14:16-17, 26, John 16:13, 1 Corinthians 3:5-9), so the prayer is that the heart will be soft enough to recognize that truth when it arrives. As long as a person is able to identify from the heart with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus...ONLY...that person is justified (Galatians 2:20-21, Romans 5:10, Romans 6:5, 2 Corinthians 5:17). Anything above and beyond that is merely some human attempting to push some “religion”, or “sin management”, or “man-plan”. According to Romans 6:17-18, someone born again (or “born from above” - or “born anew” - John 3:1-6 - biblehub.com/greek/509.htm ) becomes obedient from the heart. The $10,000 question to ask would be one of MOTIVE - WHY do you do what you do? One doesn’t HAVE TO do things pertaining to Christianity, he or she GETS to. HUMONGOUS difference.) EVERYONE needs a savior (1 John 1:8-10).
“...and the truth shall set you free” (John 8:31-32). (Proverbs 3:5-6, Proverbs 27:17, Hebrews 4:12, Hebrews 10:14, Jude 1:23, etc. are additional motives.)
Psalm 118:8 implies that it’s better to trust in The Lord than it is to put confidence in man.
“To sanctify” means “to set apart”. “To put to its intended purpose,” in other words.
In Hebrews 10:14, “For all time” means (may I have a drumroll, please) “For all time”. (That’s spiritually-speaking, or course. The rest of you? Welcome to being human.)
(ANOTHER SIDE NOTE - In some translations, “For all time” is worded as “Forever”, “To the end” or “For eternity”.)
I listened to a sermon from TH-cam yesterday with Pastor John's voice as a very young man, which also said it was from a few months back.Obviously this audio was many many years back from the time he first began his ministry . This is a constant deception being posted about the original dates of these recording from these sermons and need to be corrected . Stop this deception Immediately and post the correct recording dates when these sermons were first recorded. Tell the truth.
Check the about page of this channel and you'll see that it's specifically dedicated to old messages of ministers of the gospel. And pls there is no deception anywhere whatsoever
@@muktyleo I appreciate these old lost gems from JMAC.!! Thank you fir posting entire sermons! Definitely has place in this present day ‘ THANK YOU!
@@lauriecollins7312 thank you
@@muktyleo I don't see any deception at all either. The problem here is the lack of discernment of some people.
The posting dates are often different from the dates of the sermons. That's all!
Thank you for your work. I can't get enough of this pastor's teachings. :)
