In this teaching from Jeremiah chapter 17, the focus turns to the spiritual anatomy of fallen humanity—particularly the deceitfulness of the human heart and the danger of trusting in man rather than in the Lord. Drawing connections between Jeremiah’s warnings before the Babylonian captivity, the ministry of Jesus, and the realities of the last days, this message explores idolatry, false religion, emotional deception, and misplaced confidence in human systems, wealth, and power. Through biblical cross-references and historical examples, the teaching contrasts those who are cursed for trusting in flesh with those who are blessed for trusting in God alone, culminating in a call to recognize Christ as the fountain of living water and the only true refuge in a time of judgment.

In this episode, retired pastor Charles Douglas continues his series by shifting from “fake anointing” to genuine anointing, first briefly recommending the RTN Christian broadcasting network as a free resource for sound doctrine, then settling into a structured, Bible-centered teaching meant to feel like “friends” studying together at home. Using a historical-grammatical foundation with selective typology, allegory, and symbolism, he traces genuine anointing through the Old Testament’s holy anointing oil (Exodus 30) and its fulfillment in Christ, emphasizing holiness, non-counterfeit spirituality, and the “flow from above” seen in Psalm 133. Douglas contrasts authentic anointing—Christ-centered, humble, scripturally tested, and life-giving to the gathered church—with counterfeit “high-profile” spirituality that exalts self, fuels fleshly desires, and deceives. He closes by urging believers to rely on the Spirit of truth, remain in what they heard “from the beginning” (1 John 2), and seek wisdom from above for stability in increasingly dark and unstable times, previewing a final installment on “the beast to come” as counterfeit anointing fully personified.

Why Must I Forgive
Why does Scripture place such a strong emphasis on forgiveness? In this teaching, Sandy Simpson explores the theological and spiritual reasons forgiveness is mandatory for believers. He shows how forgiveness is inseparably connected to our own relationship with God, our prayer life, and our spiritual growth. Refusing to forgive doesn’t punish the offender—it imprisons the one holding the grudge. This lesson makes clear that forgiveness is not about fairness, but about obedience, healing, and alignment with God’s will.

Amos 4 — Hear This!
In Amos 4, God’s voice cuts through noise, comfort, and denial: “Hear this!” Pastor Marco calls attention to the prophetic warning that outward religion cannot cover inward rebellion—and that God’s discipline is often meant to awaken, not merely punish. As Israel remains stubborn despite repeated mercies and warnings, the chapter becomes a mirror for any generation tempted to ignore God while enjoying God’s gifts. This teaching is a direct summons to listen, repent, and prepare to meet the Lord with humility—before hardened patterns become irreversible.
