Teacher of the Bible

Worshiping the true God is about the choices we make in life that shape the soul and the person we become. Rather than worshiping, the true God, some people worship: wealth, pleasure, and honor, which takes all of their time and leaves no time to praise God. Their souls become corrupted and hardened. Their personalities become riddled with: greed, jealousy, pride and other ungodly behaviors and desires that will never satisfy their inner needs.

Paul Haroutunian teaches from Mark 12:35-40, exploring the lesson on how we engage in games with Jesus. In this passage, Jesus was teaching in the Temple and warning the people to 'Beware of the scribes and all their ways.' Right before this warning in Scripture, the Pharisees and Sadducees were asking a series of questions to Jesus, attempting to trap Him. Paul reminds us using these questions, the games the Pharisees and Sadducees were...

Paul said in Philippians 4:6 that we should "let our requests be made know to God in everything." We need to pray about everything. Looking at the powerful prayer life of Jesus, Pastor Charlie shows how even the Son of God - who had all-power - relied on prayer for everything. We can't afford to ignore the prayer closet day by day. God answers prayer.

These are a series of 24 audio and many written messages on the prayer life of Christian believers.

Paul Haroutunian speaks on a classic subject - prayer, care and share. Using Colossians 4:2-6, Paul starts with prayer. There is no evangelism without prayer. We must pray to the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into the harvest. This is how we begin to love our neighbor and to show care. It is after we pray and care that we can share. The audio and PowerPoint files for this teaching are available on our website at...

Extremely difficult and trying times are ahead. Are you preparing for the spiritual winter that is coming? Tribulation, trials, afflictions and incredible distress is coming. In this prophetic message, Pastor Charlie looks at the ant in Proverbs 6 and 30 to see how we can "be wise" and store up and prepare spiritual resources we are going to need for the coming days. The ant does not need a leader to tell it what to do. The ant knows...

This message helps us to realize what is keeping us from preparing ourselves to dwell in God's house forever. We all have hope to live in heaven with Jesus for eternity but are we preparing for it? While here on earth, we as Christians should be practicing and living our lives that will in the near future be a reality. Instead of practicing, we are preoccupy and doing what seems good to us. The consequences are that we are not enjoying an...

This is verse-by-verse audio teaching of Haggai 1:1-15. The written version of this teaching is below. What happens to believers when the Lord is not number 1 in their lives? Nothing in life satisfied. Everything ends in frustration, disappointment, and disillusion. This was happening in Haggai's day. The people were sowing, eating, drinking, buying clothes, and earning wages. However, they never had enough. When our priorities are wrong,...

This is a verse by verse practical study of Haggai 1:1-15. The audio teaching is above. We all make time for our priorities. We make time for what is really important to us. If God is not our priority, everything in life will frustrate us. When our priorities are wrong, nothing in life satisfies us.

God never fails on His promises. He is 100%, always, without fail, the One who keeps His Word. God is not fickle or untrustworthy like man. Men give their word and then never show up. God's word is true. It is totally reliable. You can put your full confidence in what God says because He always keeps His word. Solomon said that not one word of all that God promised Israel through Moses had failed. This is a remarkable track record...
