    Angels and Demons (Part 1) - Morne Stephanus - Oct. 25th, 2026 PM

    Summary Morne Stephanus argues that claims about angels should be tested against Scripture rather than folklore or assumption. He reviews their origin and service, then examines biblical limits on worship, messages, and claims about guardian angels. Takeaways The authority on angels is the Bible.Angels cannot possibly be eternal.When we look at the origin of angels, we look no further than the God of heaven.Angels have been created by God to serve God.They are the messengers of God.You do not deserve worship. Jehovah is the only one who deserves worship.They can only deliver a message that was approved by God.Nothing in the construction assigns an individual angel to an individual believer.I don't need to know the ins and outs about it.Don't expect to understand the Bible themes if you don't take time to study Bible facts.

    Can These Bones Live? - Morne Stephanus - Oct. 25th, 2026 AM

    Summary Morne Stephanus examines Ezekiel’s vision of the valley of dry bones, asking whether Israel could live again after breaking its covenant and going into captivity. He traces Israel’s rebellion and judgment before turning to the sermon’s central message: God’s grace brings hope to Israel and, through Christ, offers salvation and new life to sinners. Takeaways Ezekiel leaves the answer in the hands of the Almighty God. The question relates to the nation of Israel and whether or not they can be revived from the grave of captivity.The very nations that Israel ran to for safety became the nations that enslaved them.Their sin did not merely betray God, it built the prison that held.These bones are dead, and dead they should remain. Yet... what we see is the power of God.This passage in Ezekiel chapter 37 is specifically about the power of God's grace.Your soul can live because God has made a way to be saved from the death that sin brings.We're not talking about my goodness, we're talking about God's goodness.Salvation is available and your soul can live, but you have to choose it and you have to want it.
