    Jeff Durban is unparalleled. I can think of maybe ten men who can stay so laser focused on scripture when doing topical sermons.
    Absolutely beautiful. Praise Jesus!

    My complete change from wanting to be distant from "church people" my whole life and then deeply loving true Christians after being granted a proper faith in Jesus our MESSIAH, the Son of the living God, is just ONE evidence I have of YHWH's work of sanctification in my life. There was a time when all I heard from the pulpit were dead platitudes (to my ears) that sought to correct my behavior in some works-based WAY to receive favor with YHWH, and if I didn't perform, I was bound for "Hell". Now that YHWH has granted me deep understanding of His Word, and unstopped my ears to hear it, there is no greater JOY than to be in fellowship with true believers in Jesus and listen to the Word of God preached. My gratitude towards my Father is boundless.

    Jeff till this day I still appreciate the openers to these. You understand the necessity of being plugged in to a local biblical church for believers. It's needed for accountability, fellowship, and discipleship with your pastor and fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. So many people nowadays come to the faith yet only rely on youtube for their discipleship. So once again I appreciate your heart behind it. Thank you Jeff.

    I know I prayed the prayer in preschool and again in junior high and I didn’t feel Saved and see big changes until I discovered Calvinism when I was 27. I used to attend church virtually every day and attended Christian school and Christian camp and read the Bible and listened to Christian music and did AWANA and VBS and read Christian books and watched Christian movies. I didn’t feel Saved and I didn’t feel convicted of sin or make much sense out of what I read in the Bible until I watched the Strange Fire conference on CZcams and then it was a 180 and like reading the Bible for the first time. I feel sad my sister hasn’t attended church since preschool and doesn’t want to read the Bible and fornicates and gets blackout drunk and watches horror movies and goes to haunted houses and cusses and says God’s name in vain and plays with tarot cards and crystals and she says she’s Saved. She’s 29. I’m praying for her to get Saved for real.

      Then repent, ask for strength to avoid the sin. if it's a pervasive, repetitive sin, take action to remove the scenario where it happens from your life.
      Jeff has another sermon called "Hope for the Struggling Christian" that's really good.

    1john 1 8
    The man who says he has no sin is a liar and the truth is not in him
    If you have assurance because you dont sin anymore you are not trusting in the gospel. You might profess it but you dont believe it
    Justification is about what you actually confide in to atone for your sin and make you right. Jesus is our salvation but only when we are justified by Him. If you claim to believe in Jesus but are justified by your ability to sin less you are refusing to be justified by the finished work of Jesus
    Gal 5:4 you who seek to be justified by the law are cut off from Christ

    Yes dead to sin but are you now in a place where you don't fail anymore? You don't have room to grow? If so is your sin acceptable but others sin isnt? Isnt the sermon on the mount for people who think their sin is acceptable but others sin isnt? Therefore Jesus makes it clear you who even have a lustful thought is in fact a adulterer even though you look down on others who are actually adulterers in Gods standard you fail aswell therefore assurance does not come from stopping sin but faith in Christ. Death towards sin is not assurance but a natural result. Justification in Christ isnt an idea it's a foundationtional trust that Jesus justifies you not anything else not even your growth in holiness

      @@thefrontporchpulpit6197 This is not God saying that if you are in hell and are faithful for 10 days He will pull you out. None of that is in there. Jude is telling believers to save those who are in the fire meaning those who are not saved. Those people are going to hell if they are not saved so he is encouraging believers to preach the Gospel and try and save those that are about to perish in fire. No where does it say God says if you are faithful in hell for 10 days you will be saved you can't get that from the text and I read this is the KJV. But here is a better translation Jude 1:22-23 "And have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garments stained by the flesh".

      @@thefrontporchpulpit6197 Revelation 2 is talking about the churches of Asia. And in those verses specifically the church of smyrna. Is prison hell? He is telling them that they will be thrown in prison and be tried and will go through tribulation for 10 days. No where does it mention being thrown in hell. I say this with love and respect but your fixation with the KJV Bible is causing you to have some really bad interpretation of scripture. Because he says satan will throw you in prison do you think he is talking about hell? If thats the case why a few verses later does he say be faithful unto death if they are in hell they are already dead. This scripture is talking about the persecution that the church of smyrna was about to go through. He is telling them they will be thrown in prison here on earth will be tried and have tribulation for ten days. He then tells them to be faithful even unto death so even if they are put to death be faithful and they will receive a crown of life. Nothing there about you will go to hell but if your a faithful will be saved after 10 days.

    Yes Abraham could articulate the trinity. The Lord God walked with him, ate with him, and told him all his plans for sodom and gomorah. Abraham was very aware of the trinity. That's why Jesus said, John 8:56

      @@ApologiaStudios I got the point fine. Abraham had faith and faith alone is why God chose him. The same as Jesus Christs blood and faith in what he has done saves us. We bring nothing to salvation. It's a gift of grace completed by Christ and Christ alone. But could you tell me why you put James white as one of the elders. One that gives God speed to false doctrine teachers is just like taking part in it. 2 John 10-11
      If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
      James white gives God speed and is friends to several false doctrine teachers. Jeff Durbin is awesome. Dont quite understand the tarnish here . rebuke the false teachers. You cannot be friends with them. You cannot say God bless them giving them God speed. No, you become partakes and tarnish your works.

      Sounds like you have a personal dislike of the messenger. This does not discount his message: No one is good, no, not one, except our Father in Heaven. God bless Jeff, and God bless you. God bless James. This is not saying "Godspeed," it is asking God to have His way with that person. Everyone needs that, and especially sinners. As Christians we are called to examine ourselves before exhorting, or calling out sin, in others. Check out Romans 2, lest you fall to this temptation so familiar to us all. Written with much love, and no condemnation, but urgent warning.
