- Even though things were going reasonably well, and they had no evidence to think otherwise, the people of Israel were still questioning God’s love for them, and their actions reflected that wrong mindset. In Malachi 1, we see how their negative attitudes and apathetic worship are remarkably similar to how we often approach church, and even God Himself, today.

I can't lie, I have not been in the word as much these past few days because I feel like I am having an existential crisis and you know what? this is probably when I should be in the word the most. Thank you for uploading these videos and reaching me while I've been in the depths of despair.
Don't despair Ruby! Get into the word and you will find hope and joy. I have learned more the last 2 years and it gives me joy even in the midst of the chaos.
Only having the Lord to lean on is a great place to be.❤
Hey Ruby...just wanted to tell you that you aren't alone in this....
You need Biblical principals instilled EVERYDAY.
I have found this from experience. One week is too long. If you miss one weekly church sermon, you are missing TWO weeks of support. The humanistic world is chipping away at you every waking moment.
@@Creator_Nater you're absolutely correct. It does feel as though I am being chipped away at on the daily.
Pastor Brett is awesome. My Favorite Pastor.
Brother Brett, thank you for another great message. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. 🙏
Thank you for singing the praise and worship songs that are scripture! How perfect for a generation thirsting for real food!
We’re thankful to have you joining us online!
We have enter he time of man loving himself the end draws near. Jesus please forgive us we are very selfish now and need you guidence and love.
Amen
God is awesome 🙌
I always love all of your services and the Athey Women, Wednesday Bible study and prophesy updates. Also, confession: I enjoy the Iron Works! Thank you and the rest of the Athey Creek team for everything you do every day!
Thank you for the message! We’re so glad you’re able to tune in with us!
God is outside of time he see all from the begging to the end of our time so as timeless he can see all time now.
Thank you Pastor Brett and Athey Creek team for putting out all these videos for us to learn from
Glory be to God!
I enjoyed your sermon on tithing well preached sir
Awesome!👌 fantastic! 👏 thank you brother in Christ Jesus for such an interesting and captivating video with encouraging content, a " wonderful spiritual revival " lookalike. May the Holy Spirit keep inspiring you to " Feed the Lord's sheeps ", like Jesus asked Peter. " All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work..."(2 Timothy 3:16-17). To God be the glory, praise the Lord Praise Jesus. Glory Alleluia Amen 🙏
Sadly 99.9 percent of our local community church’s have really lost their way 😔🙏🏻😣 I was so great-full to find you teaching of three the Bible on CZcams really gave me so much hope and understand that I didn’t have access to before
A friend told me about you Pastor Brett. I'm so grateful and thankful to God.
❤️ I absolutely love this Church and Channel! Me and my husband watch every service we can. The very BEST worship and fantastic teaching. Pastor Brett is blessed. Is this Church or pastor taught from a Calvary Chapel foundation? We are Calvary Chapel and everything is the same and on spot with our home church! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼✝️
Many of us that are older have the old hymns that are often based on scriptures and give us a way of salvation even as we hear the old tunes the word can open up your heart to the Lord
Old and new are good. I love worshiping God. Love Joshua Aaron worship from Israel! Beautiful
I’m praying for Israel. To come to no Jesus Yeshua as their savior. I had heard 99% so 70% is better . Thank you Jesus! The blinders will be removed when the final Gentiles come in to the Kingdom. We should be praying for them daily til our Jesus comes and gets us! Amen 🙏
And sometimes as far as worship is concerned, those who are leading worship need to worship, setting that example for the congregation, not as a show, but just out of their hearts! Others eventually will begin to lift their hands to the Lord!
Live this pasture! Godus absolutely good
Thank you how I need Jesus to help me want to be loyal to him. I feel like Paul when he said o wretched man that I am.
As you cry out to God he will meet you where you are if your heart is truly for him. Strongholds can be loosed as we walk in the spirit and not in the flesh. Taking every thought behavior captive and putting it into obedience to Jesus Christ. We can not do it in our strength but by his strength. We get this by faith, through repentance God hears our prayers! If we love Jesus he’s holy scriptures reminds us then we will obey him! If we love him we can cry out help lord and he will help if we are willing to surrender and hold on to faith! He will help it’s by his spirit ! Praise God!
Brett's commentary regarding the theological terms "chosen", "election", "predestination" "foreknowledge" and the "yes and yes" position and the indirect reference to Psalm 139 gives rise to the following questions: Does God know the future eternal state of all people before they were formed in the womb? Does God "form" (create all people) past, present and future? Did/Does God create people whom He foreknows will not "walk through" Ironside's door and consequently endure torture for eternity?
I'll try and keep this simple, because whole books and commentaries, sermons and teachings have been written and given to address them. So...
1 ) Yes. In the Psalms, we read that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made...". But it also says "...I was conceived in sin...". Paul writes in Romans that when he sinned, or sins, it it not HE that sins, but his flesh, which is prone to tend naturally towards sin. Our shortcomings, of which G-d the Father, who has written the Book of - our - Days, knows of. But, because of His longsuffering and His Son stepping up for us, He has compassion. However, it is WE, because of our Free Will, who can choose how to be, react and respond, word, thought and deed, each and every day.
2) G-d the Father, as said in Hebrews, is "the same yesterday, today and forever". Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, who sees the end from the beginning, as stated in The Book of the Revelations of Jesus Christ, as described by John. So, again, yes, He does.
3) This is, perhaps, the hardest question. The theory of 'predestination' has been argued over by better and cleverer theologians over the last 2000 years, and still continues.
My answer is this: refer to the Bible and ask the Author.
We are born, live and die. These are the definable constants from our POV. G-d the Father, well, see answer 2. But, we choose our course (answer 1), so as for who gets what and where they end up, Jesus says this: "Many are called. Few are chosen.". It's this 'chosen' thing that throws everyone. He waits for us to answer His call, in and out of the Christian walk. But, even if He chooses you (Ps. Brett is talking about this while I write @ 30:00 minutes!), you needs to respond. If not now, later, even at near death (though not a good time, one will lose out on a lot this side of life).
So, both/and.
This is my take on these things, take or leave it, but G-d the Father has the final say. Keep listening and learning. Shalom.
@@chrismaguire3667 Thanks for the reply. Would you be willing to answer my 3 questions with either a "yes" or "no" before providing your "take." Maybe that would help me better understand your position.
Thank you. Yes, okay:
1) Yes.
2) Yes.
3) Yes. But no.
All for the same reasons given in my first reply.
But, remember, do check in Scripture, before asking anyone else (even me), to "see if it is so", as Paul commended the Bereans, in Act 16 (I think) for doing. Take your time, and pray as you do. Shalom 😇
love your teaching Brett, honest, practical, relevent and true to God's intent. refreshing. Hard to get this teaching nowadays. Melbourne Australia

... a time frame of mind (nickel knowledge ):
When your 60 years of age you will have 'waited' 4 years of your life; 'waited' in line at the grocery store, for the rest room, at the DMV, at the gas stations, at the red lights, at the cloths stores,, : dad was 'waiting' for his teen daughter to pick out 3 tops & pants for school, I found him sound asleep 😀🥰,
4 years of our lives; GOD has 'waited'for us, ... Is HE still waiting for us ??💞🥰🙏🛐 Allelu'jah HeavenlyFather for Your Faithful Word 🙏🙏
😆Martha Steward Living… vs. .Field and Stream. I love your teaching!!! I have practiced interpreting your lessons as I’m an interpreter and have made a list of your Brettisms… “as it turns out”. So fun!! You are definitely one i share with friends and family and I listen to in order to really understand the Bible.. So thankful for you. I’m now following your Beautiful wife on IG btw as I’m sure she has some wise words for me in my journey as a wife and mom!!!
I love being able to worship with ya’ll from Texas. I’d love it if you’d include the Wednesday night worship in the recorded videos. I’m not always able to stay awake long enough to watch them live, but when I don’t, I’m always bummed that I missed the worship segment. Thank you for all you do!!
If you're looking for a place to plant a church, we'd love you in Fort Collins, CO!

As far as pizza goes, I am all for it 😋!
Can you send it to Fredericktown Pa?
I worship with you several times a week. I love y'all. However, I would like to hear a preacher or elders consider that maybe some people are leaving the block buildings is because Pharisees in charge. We have been told if we don't attend 3 times a week we are going to hell. They have taken blessings and made them law. You can't even bring a bottle of water inside the building etc etc. Suits on Sunday, no worship on Saturday etc. I COULD write a rule book. Not just my block buildings. 100s. No fellowship. Don't blame me for standing for the word of God. The denomination has gone from 2.5 million down to 1.2 million. Now how about looking at both sides. We worship at home 7 days aweek. We listen to you constantly. May God bless us all.
Lots of truth in what you were saying. I too get much more out of my CZcams prophecy preachers than I do out of my hometown church pastor.
Hi Brett, we would love to send you a shirt from South Australia, should we try and guess the size? Blessings from Mani.
What?
There is a million and more options on the opening worship of a church and the proper way. I really feel that when it is all brand new songs it will kill the vibe because you don’t have corporate worship just the leaders. And maybe they feel the spirit, but I really only feel the strong sense of the spirit when the church really gets going together, in most cases. And the other opinion is that the songs we sing together are ones that worship our Father. Not just any catchy Christian song or telling a story but worshiping the King of kings. Because that’s why we are there. I thought that maybe when introducing new songs they can also be played over like an intercom system or something just to get us familiar with the song before going in to praise Hashem. But I’ve mainly thought that recently because I want to know what a new song says before I want to utter it out of my mouth. Cause you never know these days.
Haven’t been to Athey. Just watch and worship with you throughout the week. Thank you for your teaching and being true to the word. God bless.
This was a response to the ending of the service too btw. Not anything to do with the worship of this service. The clip I watched it was cut anyways. Just wanted to share something that has been on my heart in general as we search for a church home in South Dakota.
I wonder if Pastor Brett believes God creates people that He knows (exhaustive foreknowledge) will reject Him and thus spend eternity in hell? I wonder if such an interpretation of scripture, in some sense, makes God complicit in a person's damnation? My guess is Brett's response would be "yes" to question 1. My guess his response to question 2 would be to deflect with misinterpreted references to Romans 9 potter/clay analogy and Isaiah - "my ways are not your ways" (skeptical theism).
I enjoyed this so much as always watching online from Boise, Idaho. Can you recommend a church here in Boise? I wish Portland wasn't so far, do you ever visit other cities?
Thank you 😊
Hey there! If you'd one to ask one of our pastors about this, feel free to call our pastoral care line at 971.250.1113.
Just send the guy who wrote the mean letter a picture closer up of the shirt & say “things aren’t alway as they appear!”
Ok need clarification, did Bret mis speak, he said feeding 1000, that can't be 4 a wend night study can it? Thinking that number must represent all those from Sunday services? That still great.
Please clarify, if the answer is wend that is super shocking, but either way but esp the wend, it appears athey may have qualified for revival status, tho not sure about the exact definition of that.
Several of us up here in Alberta catch most all of your teachings, esp prophecy update.
Hope it is revival, your country sure needs it, and us also, my church is Fairview one of the 3 that the pastors got jailed for refusing to close 4 covid, then out buildings got locked and fenced with manned security, and thousands in
fines plus court lawyer costs, that are still going, how crazy is that. revival would be great esp if it's spread massively far and wide. Am praying 4 it. Thanks for holding the line in the middle of the front line, Portland, wow good on ya all.
It’s not good to talk of the Lord unless you walk with the Lord if you hope to bring people to the Lord.
Is that why Dan is not included in the 144000 of revelation???
U may believe what i believe is wrong. Im gonna say it anyway. Worship is definitely important, absolutely but dont forget who ur worshipping. A worshipper should wear something that he or she would wear to stand before our KING n SAVIOUR. In short i believe that clothes matter. Dont have to fancy or expensive but clean n respectful. Some dude with his pants down to his hips is not respectful as an example
Well, Paul, writing to the Corinthians, would agree with you.
They were Christians living in a rowdy port city, and, when the fleet was in, the local prostitutes would be dressed seductively and be out in force.
Yeah, Paul did go on about the girls' dress and hair styles in the church, but a lot of them were still baby Christians and like the fashions, which made the sailors think they were prostitutes as well (look up what they found at Pompeii in this regard - yikes!) and would proposition them.
Trouble is, some of them WERE ex-temple (Diana) prostitutes, and were well used to it! So Paul gave them some advice, amongst some other things.
The problem has come from people down the centuries, usually men, who came down on their women, almost muslim-like, and that was, and is, wrong as well!
Paul spoke into a particular situation, but he wasn't a mysogonist, as we count it, but he was still a product of his Paternalist society.
Jesus honoured women in His retinue, against the accepted norms, btw.
As far as men are concerned, we too need to honour G-d the Father in how we are, especially in His house, wherever you worship.
I, personally, believe that He looks on the heart, not the body, but WE represent Him.
It doesn't mean Sunday Best every day, or even on a Sunday, but we come into His presence honouring Him, even as we wear our clothes, which can be used to advertise our possible compromise with the world - maybe stop worshipping wearing trousers or jeans gangsta-style over time. But as we grow in spiritual maturity over time, we let the Holy Spirit makes, recreates in, us, from glory to glory, to be more like Jesus, and that is what the world will see in us: Jesus. But that's just my take on this.
Legalist
I worship Him in Spirit and truth. I don’t try to impress with my clothes. God looks at the inward man. There’s nothing I can do to get to heaven, especially impress God with my clothes/shoes. That’s a works salvation. Worship is not just in church, should be daily. I can worship Him in my PJs at home or while in the shower in my home. I’m sure the thief on the cross beside Jesus wasn’t dressed at his best. I’ve been to church in flip flops before, because of a sore foot. You’d probably really judge for that. You’re legalistic.
John 4:24
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
@@jasonhenn7345 Mind what you label people as. G-d the Father looks on the heart. But it doesn't mean that men should wear their clothes gangsta-style, and women like street prostitutes 24/7.
I like smart/causual, but generally it's jeans and t-shirt most of the time, though I don't have to justify anything to you.
It's the Holy Spirit that changes people, but if He's happy for you to wear biker-style clothes or a starched shirt, so be it.
The Jews have 2 Chronicles as the last book but as that the end of there time line
Brother I'll read Mal'achi Book in the Bible, u're talking too much ... 🙏 Blessings 🛐
Seeing drag queen preachers in churches is also an abomination that causes desolation standing in what should be a holy place. It's working its way towards the temple which is to be built.
