The Word That Endures Forever: Creeds, Canon, and the Test of Doctrinal Consistency 
 In this foundational teaching, Jacob Prasch examines the nature of biblical Christianity by contrasting the unchanging authority of Scripture with the evolving doctrines of religion. Beginning with the early creeds—the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed—he explains how the “line of faith” preserved essential Christian truth before the New Testament canon was fully written and recognized. From there, the message traces a consistent biblical warning against adding to or subtracting from God’s Word, drawing on Deuteronomy, Proverbs, Isaiah, the Gospels, the Epistles, and Revelation. Prasch argues that while Scripture remains coherent and self-consistent, false expressions of Judaism, Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Islam, Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and modern ecumenical and emergent movements are marked by progressive doctrinal invention and internal contradiction. By documenting historical developments, shifting dogmas, and extra-biblical authorities, the teaching exposes religion as man’s attempt to reach God, in contrast to the gospel—God’s unchanging revelation reaching fallen humanity. The message concludes with a clear test of truth: what is from God remains consistent, but what adds to His Word will inevitably prove unstable, contradictory, and false.

In this uncompromising teaching, Jacob Prasch expounds Revelation 13 and the doctrine of Antichrist by tracing its biblical patterns across both Testaments, exposing how deception precedes domination. He explains that before the mark, the image, or 666, Antichrist first comes as a counterfeit savior—working signs and wonders, promoting a false humanitarianism, and advancing a social gospel that sidelines repentance and the cross. Drawing parallels with Judas Iscariot as the “son of perdition,” Prasch shows how Antichrist infiltrates from within, masquerading as compassion while pursuing power, money, and control. He then follows the repeated biblical appearance of 666 through Solomon, commerce, gold, and global trade—especially its connection to Tarshish, which he presents as a prophetic symbol of economic alliance, compromise, and rebellion against God’s will. Applying these patterns to modern ecumenism, celebrity Christianity, unbiblical worship, and political-religious convergence, Prasch warns that the apostate church is already “setting sail.” His sobering conclusion is both a warning and a prayer: discern the signs, refuse ungodly alliances, stand on Scripture illuminated by the Holy Spirit—and ask God, in mercy, to sink the ship before it reaches Tarshish.

Continuing in Jeremiah 17:19–27, this teaching addresses the meaning of the Sabbath—not as a legalistic observance, but as a prophetic sign pointing to Christ Himself. By examining Scripture from Jeremiah, the Gospels, Romans, Colossians, and Hebrews, the message explains why Sabbath-keeping was treated as a matter of life and death under the Old Covenant and how its true fulfillment is found in entering God’s rest through Jesus. Contrasting religious rule-keeping with genuine faith, this study exposes the emptiness of man-made religion, false visions, and legalism, and calls believers to rest fully in the completed work of Christ, who alone is the substance behind every shadow.

In this installment of his series, retired pastor Charles Douglas opens by briefly recommending RTN (a Christian TV/radio network offering music and Bible teaching) and then turns to the third theme: “The Beast to Come”—the Antichrist as the ultimate personification of false anointing under Satan. Framing the topic as a set of starter thoughts for personal or small-group study rather than an exhaustive end-times chart, he defines “antichrist” from John’s letters (as denial of Jesus’ true deity and true humanity), notes the recurring influence of deception (including a modern resurgence of gnostic-like distortions), and explains Satan’s work in terms of strategic (ultimate aim to exalt himself like the Most High) and tactical (ongoing preconditioning of minds through authoritative platforms—political, financial, and religious). Douglas then walks through key texts—especially Revelation 12–13, Daniel, and 2 Thessalonians—highlighting the beast rising from the turbulent “sea” of humanity and the dragon empowering him, the beast’s blasphemous self-exaltation and persecution of saints, and the coming certainty of Christ’s victory as King of kings. He also introduces the “second beast” (the false prophet) as a religious deceiver who performs signs to enforce worship, briefly weighs interpretive options around the “mortal wound” and the “image” (including but not limited to technological possibilities), and repeatedly emphasizes a sobering theme of divine sovereignty—the beast is “allowed” authority for a limited time—alongside a pastoral warning to stay spiritually alert, sober-minded, and grounded in Scripture amid accelerating deception.

How Much Must I Forgive
Is there a limit to forgiveness? How many times must a Christian forgive someone who continues to hurt them? Sandy Simpson addresses these difficult questions by examining Jesus’ teaching on limitless forgiveness and the dangers of keeping score. This lesson confronts the human desire for revenge and justice while pointing listeners to Christ’s example of mercy. Forgiveness, when practiced fully, dismantles bitterness before it hardens into a lifestyle of resentment.
