What Does The Bible Actually Say About HELL? | David Eiffert
2w ago00:45:11Tap to summarizeMost of us got our picture of hell from a movie, a cartoon, or an angry preacher, not from the Bible. So this week Pastor David opens the Bible on hell and reads it honestly, as much and as little as it actually says.“Hell” is one word in English, but four words in the Bible. Sheol, Hades, Tartarus, and Gehenna got flattened into one, and a thousand years of medieval imagery got poured in behind it.Jesus describes Gehenna in pictures, not floor plans. Whatever else hell is, he keeps calling it a place of real and terrible loss.Hell was made for the devil and his angels, not for people. The devil isn’t hell’s manager, he’s hell’s first inmate.Jesus defeated hell, so you don’t have to go. The keys of death and Hades are in nail-scarred hands.Every warning Jesus gave about hell, he gave on his way to a cross to make sure you’d never go there.Scriptures: Matthew 25:31-41; Psalm 16:10; Acts 2:31; Luke 16:22-23; Mark 9:47-48; Revelation 1:17-18; Revelation 20:12-15; Luke 23:42-43; John 3:16-17Facebook: / believerscenter Instagram: / believerscenter Giving: https://pushpay.com/g/believerscenter First Time: https://believerscenter.churchcenter.com/people/forms/797243 Salvation / Rededication: https://believerscenter.churchcenter.com/people/forms/797600#BelieversCenter #Hell #Grace #JesusThanks so much for listening to the Believers Center podcast!

Transcribe →Hot Potatoes: Are Demons Real, and Should I Be Scared | David Eiffert
Jun 800:37:07Tap to summarizeAre demons real? And if they are, should you be scared of them?This week we kicked off the return of our summer series Hot Potatoes, where each week we take one hot topic and talk about it just for the week. First up: demons. It's a topic that fascinates people and terrifies people, and most of what we think we know about it actually comes from Hollywood, not the Bible.In this message we walk right down the middle of two ditches. One ditch pretends none of this is real. The other gets obsessed and scared and weird about it. The goal is to be aware, but not afraid.We work through four things:1. Demons are real. Not Christian lore, not a metaphor. Jesus took them seriously, and fighting demonic influence was front and center in his ministry.2. Demons have already been disarmed. The cross was an eviction. They still try to convince you they have power they no longer have.3. Against a Christ-follower, their only weapon is deception. They can't force you. They can only fool you, and a lie only lands if you believe it.4. You carry Jesus' authority. You are filled with the Spirit, and Jesus put real authority back in your hands.Here's the heart of it: if you and a demon are in the same room, the one who should be scared is the demon, not you.Scriptures we look at: Colossians 2:15, John 12:31, Genesis 3:1, John 8:44, Luke 10:19-20, Hebrews 9:27, and Genesis 1:26.Facebook: / believerscenterInstagram: / believerscenterGiving: https://pushpay.com/g/believerscenterFirst Time: https://believerscenter.churchcenter.com/people/forms/797243Salvation / Rededication: https://believerscenter.churchcenter.com/people/forms/797600#BelieversCenter #HotPotatoes #SpiritualWarfare #Demons #AuthorityThanks so much for listening to the Believers Center podcast!

Transcribe →For The Right Reasons | David Eiffert
Jun 100:44:47Tap to summarizeWhat if God isn't only watching what we do, but why we do it? In this one-week message, Pastor David Eiffert walks through Isaiah 58 and asks an honest question about motives: are we serving God, helping people, and even doing good things for the right reasons, or has something else crept underneath?We live in a society that cares more about image than character. But God is concerned with the WHAT, and he's just as concerned with the WHY.Four things to take with you:1. Pure actions will inevitably follow a pure heart.2. Watch out for a shifting heart when success comes.3. Impure desires often disguise themselves as excessive self-care.4. Without love, even great actions become meaningless.If you've ever caught yourself asking, "Wait, why am I really doing this?" this message is for you.Scriptures referenced: Isaiah 58, Proverbs 26:12, 1 Corinthians 13.Facebook: / believerscenterInstagram: / believerscenterGiving: https://pushpay.com/g/believerscenterFirst Time: https://believerscenter.churchcenter.com/people/forms/797243Salvation / Rededication: https://believerscenter.churchcenter.com/people/forms/797600#BelieversCenter #ForTheRightReasons #Isaiah58 #Motives #DavidEiffertThanks so much for listening to the Believers Center podcast!

Transcribe →Jesus, Etc. | David Eiffert
May 1800:48:27Tap to summarizePastor David Eiffert pulls back the curtain on how he understands and lives out the Christian faith. The title says it all: Jesus, etc. Jesus is the centering principle, and everything else, all the "etc," radiates from him.Starting in John 1, we see that no one has ever seen God, but the Son has made him known. God is the ultimate mystery, the one thing you would never find by scanning the universe, because he creates from outside of it. On our own, we can no more find God than Bilbo Baggins can find J.R.R. Tolkien. Unless the author writes himself into the story. That is the incarnation.From there we walk up Mount Tabor with Peter, James, and John, watch Jesus transfigured beside Moses and Elijah, and hear the Father say the one thing he says again and again in the New Testament: "This is my Son. Listen to him."Three movements anchor the message:1. We start with Jesus.2. Jesus is what God looks like. He does not change the Father, he reveals the Father.3. Jesus informs all the "etc." Family, work, politics, money, ethics, everything.Jesus does not save us from God. Jesus reveals God as savior. There should be no dark corner in your life where Christ does not reach.This week, pick one "etc." The loudest one. The one that has become a little too central. Ask Jesus what it looks like for him to be at the center of that one thing.Scriptures referenced: John 1:14-18, Colossians 2:2-3, Matthew 17:1-8, John 5:39-40, Luke 24:27, Hebrews 1:1-3, Colossians 1:15.Facebook: / believerscenterInstagram: / believerscenterGiving: https://pushpay.com/g/believerscenterFirst Time: https://believerscenter.churchcenter.com/people/forms/797243Salvation / Rededication: https://believerscenter.churchcenter.com/people/forms/797600#BelieversCenter #JesusEtc #Incarnation #Transfiguration #FollowingJesusThanks so much for listening to the Believers Center podcast!
