The Cross | Dead Not Dying | Episode 6 28:30

1 day ago28:30

28:30

In the sixth episode of "The Cross," Duane Sheriff explores the death of our "old man" in Adam and our new life in Christ, which is crucial for living a victorious Christian life. We are "dead to sin," not "dead in sin." Our old nature was crucified with Christ and buried, and a new creation has risen. The parallel between Christ's death and resurrection and our spiritual rebirth illustrates that our old sinful nature no longer enslaves us because we are a new creation in Christ.

The Cross | Death Of The Old Man | Episode 5 28:30

In the fifth episode of "The Cross," Duane Sheriff explains how our "old man," or sinful nature, was crucified with Christ, freeing us from the power of sin, the law, and the world. He shares his vision of seeing himself in Jesus during His crucifixion, illustrating how we are spiritually united with Christ in His death and resurrection. Understanding the death of our old self is key to living a new life in Christ. Romans 6 emphasizes that we are "dead to sin" because of our identification with Christ's death, a truth that can transform our relationship with God. Now, as a new creation, we can embrace our new identity in Him.…

The Cross | Passover Meal | Episode 4 28:30

5 days ago28:30

28:30

In the fourth episode of "The Cross," Duane Sheriff teaches the connection between the Old Testament Passover meal and Jesus Christ as the ultimate Passover Lamb. God uses types and shadows in the Old Testament to foreshadow the cross, emphasizing that the mystery of salvation was hidden from Satan but revealed to believers. Exodus 12 demonstrates how God instituted the Passover Meal to foreshadow Christ's sacrifice. The imagery of eating the lamb and applying its blood speaks to how we must internalize Christ's sacrifice and allow it to cover every aspect of our lives. The blood of the innocent lamb protected the Israelites from judgment, just as Christ's blood covers us now. This parallel illustrates that our salvation relies not on our righteousness but on our faith in the ultimate Lamb of God. Click for FREE offer ➡️ https://pastorduane.com/the-cross/…

The Cross | Blaspheme | Episode 3 28:30

6 days ago28:30

28:30

In the third episode of "The Cross," Duane Sheriff explores the concept of blaspheming the Holy Spirit, which is often misunderstood as an unpardonable sin. This sin is not a specific action but rather the rejection of Jesus Christ and His sacrifice on the cross. God offers forgiveness for all sins through the sacrifice of Jesus. The Holy Spirit's role is to convict the world of unbelief in Jesus. According to Matthew 12:31-32 and Mark 3:28-29, all sins can be forgiven except for the rejection of Christ's sacrifice. This episode addresses the common misconceptions about unforgivable sins and provides freedom, hope, and clarity to anyone burdened by guilt.

In the second episode of "The Cross," Duane Sheriff teaches the significance of the cross and how our eternal fate is determined by our belief in what Jesus accomplished through His sacrifice. Once a symbol of terror, the cross has transformed into a symbol of hope and love. This pivotal event marks a turning point for all of history and eternity. Salvation comes through faith in Jesus and His work on the cross, not through our actions or good deeds. Jesus is the only way to God, making the "strait gate" to eternal life narrow yet full of hope for those who believe. Click for FREE offer ➡️ https://pastorduane.com/the-cross/…

The Cross | Power & Wisdom Of God | Episode 1 28:30

8 days ago28:30

28:30

Due to the sacrifice of Jesus and His blood shed on the cross, the cross has become a worldwide symbol of hope and God's love. Time is measured by the cross and divided into B.C. (Before Christ) and A.D. (Anno Domini, Latin for "In the Year of Our Lord"). In the new series, "The Cross," Duane Sheriff explores the mystery of the cross and how Jesus' sacrifice transforms our identity, freeing us from sin, legalism, addiction, and worldly influences. According to 1 Corinthians 1, the message of the cross may appear foolish to the world, but for those who believe, it is the power and wisdom of God. In this episode, Duane shares his testimony of experiencing an open vision in which he saw himself united with Jesus during His crucifixion and resurrection.

From Death To Life 38:09

9 days ago38:09

38:09

Brother Duane teaches that Easter is not about celebrating a day but embracing a living person - Jesus Christ! The message, "From Death To Life," examines how Jesus is the proof that death is not the final word in our lives. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus offers complete freedom from sin and a new life filled with power. The Old and New Testaments point to Jesus as the ultimate Passover Lamb through three components: declaring the gospel to others, receiving its truth in our hearts, and standing firm in the freedom Jesus gives us. When we place our faith in Jesus, we are completely transformed and free to live in the power of His resurrection every day!…

Prodigals 52:56

Luke 15 describes God's relentless love for the lost. In the message "Prodigals," Duane Sheriff teaches how the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son paint an extraordinary picture of our Heavenly Father's heart. The prodigal son reveals the father's unconditional love, grace, forgiveness, and the joy of redemption. No one is beyond God's reach or love. The shepherd leaves the 99 to find one lost sheep, and the woman diligently searches for her lost coin. Each parable challenges us to step out of our comfort zones, actively seek those who've strayed, and view each person as precious in God's sight. Each story exemplifies the value God places on every single soul.…

Christian Meditation | Episode 10 | God's Finger 28:31

25 days ago28:31

28:31

In the tenth episode of "Christian Meditation," Brother Duane teaches how mind renewal is the work of God that comes by the finger of God and is now on the inside of you through Christ. Mind renewal comes from within, not through our efforts. It is not about willpower or struggling to change our thoughts. Instead, it's a supernatural process as we yield our minds to the Lord. Romans 12 teaches that transformation happens by renewing our minds, while Ephesians 4:22-24 instructs us to put off the old self and be renewed in the spirit of our minds. This renewal replaces old thought patterns with new ones, aligning us with God's truth. Click for FREE offer ➡️ https://pastorduane.com/christian-meditation/…

In the eighth episode of "Christian Meditation," Brother Duane teaches the transformative power of Christian meditation and mind renewal. Romans 12:2 encourages us not to be conformed to this world but to be transformed by renewing our minds. Like metamorphosis, this process takes time, similar to a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. Just as the butterfly's wings emerge from within, our Christ-likeness reflects our renewed inner selves. This transformation enables us to function in both the natural and spiritual realms, demonstrating God's good, acceptable, and perfect will. As we meditate on God's Word, we are not merely memorizing scripture but allowing it to reshape our thoughts, emotions, and perceptions.

In the seventh episode of "Christian Meditation," Brother Duane teaches how our thoughts become strongholds in a spiritual battle. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 discusses pulling down strongholds and taking every thought captive to Christ, revealing the spiritual warfare involved in our thinking patterns. Many believers struggle with strongholds. A stronghold starts with a thought. Some thoughts are from us, some are from our past, and some are opinions and ideologies of the world. Strongholds are not demons but false beliefs and thought patterns that become a fortress that Satan uses to enslave us. Satan hides in our mental strongholds, but the process of meditation renews our minds and pulls down spiritual strongholds. Click for FREE offer ➡️ https://pastorduane.com/christian-meditation/…

God uniquely designed your identity before your birth, and this identity is intricately woven into your purpose. It's no surprise that the world is struggling with identity confusion. Our identity in Christ is under assault in an attempt to derail our divine destiny.

Prayer is not a religious duty but an intimate dialogue with a loving God. Brother Duane teaches the foundational importance of communion with God in the Christian life, focusing on prayer, fellowship, and an intimate relationship with the Lord. In John 15, Jesus describes Himself as the vine and believers as the branches. This imagery beautifully illustrates our connection with Christ.

God loves us so much that He is changing us into His image. In part eight of "Unconditional Love," Brother Duane teaches the transformative power of beholding God's glory by exploring eight ways God changes us to be more Christlike. Like metamorphosis, this process of change happens from the inside out. Holiness is not achieved through our efforts but by focusing on Christ and His finished work. 2 Corinthians 3:18 reveals that we are gradually transformed into His image as we look upon God's glory. It's not about striving or willpower but allowing God to change us from within.…

In part two of "Fatherhood," Duane Sherff explores the metaphor of fathers as spiritual "blacksmiths" who play a vital role in shaping their children's lives and faith. He emphasizes the importance of godly masculinity, consistent discipline, and clear boundaries, which should be guided by the Holy Spirit. Discipline should be controlled by the Holy Spirit, not as punishment, but as a loving act to prepare children for the realities of life and accountability to God. True fatherhood isn't about domination but about forging, shaping, and tempering our children for spiritual warfare and success in life.…

Fatherhood | Part 1 | Blacksmiths 47:40

8 weeks ago47:40

47:40

Are you aware that you are in a war? In today's culture, there is an assault against men and their role as fathers. In the message "Fatherhood," Duane Sheriff draws unique parallels between a blacksmith and a father who prepares his home for spiritual warfare. In 1 Samuel 13:19-22, the Philistines removed Israelite blacksmiths before the battle. Israel needed their blacksmiths to make swords and other weapons to fight in the war. Likewise, fathers are the blacksmiths in their homes. Men forge, shape, and temper their children to prepare them for life's battles, protecting them from the world's negative influences. Fathers equip children with the moral clarity, character, and strong work ethic necessary for success. This world seeks to remove or feminize the blacksmith, thereby weakening our families. Fathers must reclaim their role, not suppress their masculinity. Under God's guidance, fathers have a crucial role in ensuring their children are ready to face challenges and not become susceptible to the deceptions and hardships of the world. Fathers, be the spiritual leaders and warriors God created you to be. Embrace your divine purpose, knowing your influence shapes the next generation.…

Who Am I? | Episode 7 | Attacks on Identity 28:31

8 weeks ago28:31

28:31

In the seventh and final episode of "Who Am I?", Duane Sheriff teaches that Satan's primary strategy to derail our God-given purpose and destiny is to assault our identity, just as he did with Jesus. Jesus faced attacks on His identity both at the beginning and the end of His ministry. In Matthew 4, Satan repeatedly tempts Jesus with the phrase, "If you are the Son of God..." This reveals an important truth: our opponent knows that if he can confuse our identity, he can disrupt our future. Jesus countered these attacks with Scripture. The parallels drawn between Jesus' temptations and our own struggles encourage us to stand firm in who God says we are, even in the face of doubt or opposition.

In part seven of "Unconditional Love," Brother Duane teaches God's grace and its relationship to holiness. While God forgives our past, present, and future sins, sin does have consequences. Sin affects our relationships with others despite being forgiven by God. Understanding and embracing the fear of the Lord is essential for living a holy life. There are two types of fear: demonic fear and godly fear. Demonic fear distances individuals from God, while godly fear promotes a righteous life, aligning hearts with His holiness. Demonic fear pushes people away from God, whereas godly fear leads them toward a life of righteousness.…

Jesus discovered His identity through the Scriptures. In Luke 2:41-52, we see the 12-year-old Jesus in the temple, already aware of His divine sonship. Jesus is our model for searching the Scriptures to discover our identity as new creations in Christ.

Your thumbprint identifies WHO you are, and your spirit bears God's image! In the fifth episode of "Who Am I?", Duane Sheriff teaches about the transformation that occurs when we become new creations in Christ and explains the difference between our flesh and spirit. When we accept Jesus, our spirit becomes a new creation, which is our true self. Our spirit is made righteous and holy, while our flesh represents our old self. To live in accordance with this new identity, we must renew our minds by connecting with the Word of God to strengthen our spirit rather than relying on our flesh and its desires. As we renew our minds with this truth, we're empowered to fulfill our God-given purpose and fully realize our identity in Christ. Click for FREE offer ➡️ https://pastorduane.com/who-am-i/…

In the fourth episode of "Who Am I?", Duane Sheriff teaches that our true identity is found in Christ. He contrasts our "old self," which is tied to our sinful nature, with the "new creation" we become through faith in Jesus. This transformation happens when we embrace our authentic selves as defined by God rather than by the world's standards or our limited understanding. We are made up of spirit, soul, and body, with our spirit being born again and perfect in Christ. This triune nature provides a profound insight into our existence as beings created in God's image. It's important to view ourselves from God's perspective and to recognize that we are righteous, holy, and united with Christ in spirit. Ephesians 4:22-24 encourages us to put off the old self and put on the new self. Click for FREE offer ➡️ https://pastorduane.com/who-am-i/…

Who Am I? | Episode 3 | Three Families 28:31

9 weeks ago28:31

28:31

In the third episode of "Who Am I?", Duane Sheriff teaches that our true identity is found through our relationship with Jesus. To illustrate this, he introduces the concept of three families that influence who we are. The first family is our immediate family, which consists of our parents and grandparents. They give us certain physical traits, like the color of our skin or our hair. These traits can influence how we see ourselves but don't define our true selves. In Christ, we can overcome any negative influence from our immediate family. The second family is the family of man, which includes every human born into this world. We are all part of this family because of Adam, the first man who brought sin into the world. This connection can bring feelings of guilt or judgment, but through Jesus, we can break free from this old identity. The third family is the family of God. When we believe in Jesus and are "born again," we join this new family. Jesus is like the father of this new creation, bringing life, righteousness, and goodness. We are no longer defined by our old life but by our new identity in Christ. Click for FREE offer ➡️ https://pastorduane.com/who-am-i/…

Unconditional Love | Part 6 54:26

9 weeks ago54:26

54:26

In part six of "Unconditional Love," Brother Duane continues his teaching on God's unconditional love and lists the reasons for the connection to holiness. Christians should live holy lives, not out of fear or to earn God's love, because they are already holy through their faith in Jesus. They don't need to be holy to make God love them more or to avoid punishment. Instead, holiness is about living according to their spiritual identity in Christ. When Christians sin, they should repent not to earn forgiveness—which they already have—but to close the door to Satan and keep their hearts sensitive to God. Sin doesn't just give Satan a place in areas of our lives where God displaced him; it gradually hardens our hearts, dulling our ability to hear God's voice and recognize His guidance. Living holy isn't about avoiding God's wrath but experiencing the fullness of a relationship with Him.…

When we accept Christ, we become a new creation and experience a radical transformation of our spiritual DNA. As stated in 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away. Behold, all things are or have become new." Brother Duane teaches that we are no longer defined by our past or sins but by our union with Christ. This new identity impacts every aspect of our lives - our purpose, eternity, and essence. Our identity is shaped by what we identify with and is more than just a label – it's understanding who you are at your core. Many people today suffer from an "identity crisis" when they let external influences like family, culture, or past experiences define them. By renewing our minds to our true identity in Christ, we can break free and live victoriously to fulfill God's perfect will for our lives. Click for FREE offer ➡️ https://pastorduane.com/who-am-i/…

In part five of "Unconditional Love," Brother Duane explores God's unconditional love and its connection to holiness. Holiness isn't about following strict rules to earn God's love but rather the fruit of having a close relationship with God. This shift in perspective can free us from legalism and condemnation, allowing us to embrace the beauty of God's holiness. Romans 6 explains that when we accept Christ, we are no longer controlled by sin. This means that we don’t have to work hard to be holy to please God. Instead, holiness comes naturally when we understand how much God loves us. When we truly understand God's love for us, we often choose not to sin, not because we have to but because we want to. Our actions come from our love for God, not from trying to earn His love.…

God is Love. His love is given without conditions, limits, or expectations, not based on our actions or worthiness but on His boundless grace and mercy. In part 4 of "Unconditional Love," Brother Duane explores unconditional love and teaches the what, why, and how of being Holy. Holiness results from our relationship with God. As we experience an inner transformation through His Spirit, it becomes evident in our actions, reflecting a Christ-like character. The beauty of God's Spirit shines through when we demonstrate kindness, patience, and goodness. The reason for living a holy life is explained in John 14:15: "If you love me, keep my commandments." Holiness arises from our love for Jesus, not a desire to earn His love or approval.…

Unconditional Love | Part 3 52:50

God loves you unconditionally and has forgiven all your sins. So, does that mean sin doesn't matter? Does God ignore sin? Brother Duane teaches that Christ's eternal sacrifice covers our past, present, and future sins. However, this does not mean we can ignore sin, as God desires and expects His children to pursue holiness. God's chastening and correction are expressions of His love, not His wrath, aimed at helping believers partake in His holiness. Instead, we are loved, forgiven, and invited into a life of holiness. Examining the parallels of the Israelites' journey from Egypt as an analogy for the Christian journey, Duane connects God's unconditional love with His desire for our sanctification. Holiness is not about earning God's love but becoming more like His image.…

In the sixth episode of "Children As Arrows," Duane Sheriff explains the teaching stage from ages 8 to 20. This stage equips children with essential life skills and establishes God's Word. Hosea 4:6 warns that God's people perish for lack of knowledge. This applies to parents and mentors, not just to our children. We must instill a strong sense of God's love and acceptance, enabling our children to withstand rejection and maintain their faith and integrity despite peer and societal pressures. Love isn't a fleeting emotion but a constant, defined by God's nature, according to Titus 2. By understanding and teaching our children divine love, we prepare our children to face life's challenges with strength, wisdom, and the confidence to seek God's approval rather than man's.
