In this sermon, I draw a straight line from the Bible’s warnings about Baal worship to what I contend are the moral and spiritual crises of our time. Beginning with passages such as 1 Corinthians 9, Isaiah 5:20, and 1 Kings 18, I argue that when a people forsake God, they invite bondage, corruption, and deception—echoing the cyclical pattern seen in Judges and the prophets. I survey scriptural and archaeological references to Baalism and claim that many modern practices and cultural trends mirror those ancient errors, calling listeners to repentance, prayer, and courageous allegiance to Jesus Christ. I also challenge the Church to recognize spiritual enemies, discern false teaching, and recover a clear sense of identity rooted in Scripture. The charge is simple but urgent: test everything by the Word, resist perversion of truth, and stand firm in proclaiming the gospel with wisdom and boldness.'Scriptures for America (Ministry Website)': https://www.scripturesforamerica.org'Isaiah 5:20 (Bible passage)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+5%3A20&version=KJV'1 Kings 18:17–18 (Bible passage)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Kings+18%3A17-18&version=KJV'Judges 2 (Bible passage)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Judges+2&version=KJV'Judges 10 (Bible passage)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Judges+10&version=KJV'Numbers 22 (Bible passage)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers+22&version=KJV'Numbers 25:1–9 (Bible passage)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers+25%3A1-9&version=KJV'Jeremiah 19 (Bible passage)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah+19&version=KJV'Revelation 2:14 (Bible passage)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+2%3A14&version=KJV'John 15:20–25 (Bible passage)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+15%3A20-25&version=KJV'2 John 7–11 (Bible passage)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+John+7-11&version=KJV'Luke 1:71 (Bible passage)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+1%3A71&version=KJV'1 Corinthians 9:7–14 (Bible passage)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+9%3A7-14&version=KJV'1 Corinthians 15:25 (Bible passage)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+15%3A25&version=KJV'Halleys Bible Handbook (Zondervan)': https://www.zondervan.com/9780310558987/halleys-bible-handbook'Zondervan Pictorial Bible Dictionary': https://www.zondervan.com/9780310331887/zondervan-pictorial-bible-dictionary'Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures (formerly Oriental Institute), University of Chicago': https://isac.uchicago.edu'Palestine Exploration Fund (Gezer Excavations resources)': https://www.pef.org.uk'Planned Parenthood (organization)': https://www.plannedparenthood.org'American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)': https://www.aclu.org

In today’s broadcast, I challenge listeners with Jesus’ clear line in Matthew 12:30—either you are for Christ or against Him. I call believers to move beyond “52 sermons a year,” dig into Scripture daily, and reject comfortable neutrality. From Daniel 7:21 and Psalm 94:16 to Paul’s charge to “act like men” and endure hardship as good soldiers, I urge Christians to take public, costly stands for what is biblically right, even when culture pushes back. I also remind the audience that our struggle is not a church game but a real spiritual conflict. We must know right from wrong, stand where Scripture stands, and persevere without quitting. This message is a call to courageous discipleship—fight the good fight, hold the line, and be found gathering with Christ, not scattering against Him.'Scriptures for America (official site)': https://www.scripturesforamerica.org'Matthew 12:30 (Bible Gateway, NASB)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+12%3A30&version=NASB'Daniel 7:21 (Bible Gateway, NASB)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+7%3A21&version=NASB'Psalm 94:16 (Bible Gateway, NASB)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+94%3A16&version=NASB'1 Corinthians 9:7–14 (Bible Gateway, NASB)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+9%3A7-14&version=NASB'1 Corinthians 16:13 (Bible Gateway, NASB)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+16%3A13&version=NASB'1 Corinthians 6:9 (Bible Gateway, NASB)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+6%3A9&version=NASB'2 Timothy 2:3 (Bible Gateway, NASB)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Timothy+2%3A3&version=NASB'Hebrews 11 (Bible Gateway, NASB)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+11&version=NASB'UN Genocide Convention (official)': https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide-convention.shtml

In this message (recorded Tuesday, January 5), I call believers to a renewed, battle-ready faith for 2010—what I describe as a year of increase for God’s people and decrease for the “serpents” that oppose the Gospel. Drawing from Mark 16:15–18, Acts 2:37–39, Psalm 55, Jeremiah 8:17, and Isaiah 11:8–9, I emphasize repentance, baptism, deliverance, and healing, along with an imprecatory prayer focus I’m using at the top of the hour this month. I also urge listeners to “pick some persons and pray,” share the Gospel plainly, and live out the Great Commission with courage and order in the home and church.Throughout, I outline ministry efforts—from 24/7 broadcasting and recent specials (including our DC-focused programming) to upcoming teachings, a simple evangelistic booklet to hand out, and a study titled “Instinct That Stinks.” My aim is to equip saints to discern deception, resist demonic conduits, and stand firm in Jesus Christ, the Great Physician and King.'Scriptures for America (Official Site)': https://scripturesforamerica.org'Scriptures for America Worldwide Broadcasting Network (SFAWBN)': https://sfawbn.com'Mark 16:15–18 (Great Commission)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+16%3A15-18&version=NASB'Acts 2:37–39': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+2%3A37-39&version=NASB'Psalm 55': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+55&version=NASB'Jeremiah 8:17': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah+8%3A17&version=NASB'Isaiah 11:8–9': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+11%3A8-9&version=NASB

In this impassioned New Year broadcast (recorded in early January 2010), I call believers to a year of increase in faith, health, and courage, and a decrease for the “serpents” of deception and destruction. Centering on Mark 16 and Acts 2, I emphasize repentance, baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, deliverance from demonic influences, and boldness against false teachings and spiritual conduits of bondage. I reflect on imprecatory prayer, the danger of counterfeit “gifts,” and the biblical imagery of serpents in Matthew 23, Jeremiah 8, Isaiah 11, and Deuteronomy 32—urging listeners to stand as true Christian soldiers, target people in prayer, and share the gospel plainly in 2010. I also outline forthcoming teachings, including explorations of “in My name,” spiritual warfare, healing, and ancient texts referenced in relation to end-times deception. The call-to-action is clear: pick a person in prayer, share the brief “Don’t Miss Out” baptism booklet, and walk in the Great Commission—casting out demons, resisting poison (literal and spiritual), restoring order in the home, and becoming men and women of God who contend for the Kingdom without compromise.

In this impassioned sermon, Pastor Peter J. Peters addresses the “dirty birds” he believes perch on church pulpits—deceptive influences that snatch away the simple, powerful truths of God’s Word and the Kingdom message. Drawing from Matthew 13, Exodus 14, Hebrews 11, and Luke 10, he emphasizes spiritual authority, the power of Jesus’ name, the call to bold faith-driven action, and baptism’s role as deliverance for God’s people and destruction for their enemies. He challenges listeners to test teachings nobly against Scripture, reject deceptive change agents, and reclaim core Kingdom truths with courage, prayer, and obedience. The message crescendos with a corporate prayer for exposure of false doctrines and restoration for those misled, urging the remnant to march forward in faith and authority in Jesus Christ. Resources and follow-up points include Pastor Peters’ references to prior messages on “dirty birds,” the Kingdom parables of Matthew 13, the Exodus “Red Sea” paradigm, and encouragement to delve deeper into communion, baptism, and the authority believers wield in Jesus’ name. The call is clear: exalt Jesus above all, stand firm in truth, and move forward in faithful obedience.
