Could God be pruning areas of your life so Christ can be seen more clearly?In Episode 12 of "The Chastening of the Lord," Duane Sheriff teaches how God purges, prunes, and cleanses His people. In John 15, Jesus describes the Father as a vinedresser who prunes fruitful branches so they can bear even more fruit. He then tells His disciples, "You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you."God's Word is the primary way He purges our lives. It washes our minds, corrects our

Where do we place our confidence? Are we building our confidence based on our accomplishments? When we compare ourselves to others by race, title, background, education, or success, we are placing confidence in ourselves instead of Christ.In Part 3 of "Philippians," Duane Sheriff teaches what it means to be found in Christ. In Philippians 3, the Apostle Paul presents an impressive list of earthly credentials. He points to his heritage, religious standing, zeal, and blameless obedience to the law

Not everything that happens in our lives is God's will, but He can still bring good out of it.In Episode 9 of "The Chastening of the Lord," Duane Sheriff explores the different ways God chastens His children. God's correction is not punishment, sickness, tragedy, or evil sent to teach us a lesson. Instead, the Holy Spirit instructs, corrects, and redirects us when we move away from God's purpose for our lives.Like a GPS redirecting us after a wrong turn, God's chastening calls us to repent - to

What does it mean that our bodies are not our own?In Episode 8 of "The Chastening of the Lord," Duane Sheriff teaches that our bodies are members of Christ, bought at a price, and set apart as temples of the Holy Spirit. This truth should shape how we live and how we respond to a culture that celebrates what God tells us to flee fornication.Sexual immorality is not a minor or peripheral issue in Scripture. Paul warns that sexual sin carries consequences that reach into the body and soul, affecting

Sexual purity is not outdated, optional, or something the church can afford to remain silent about. When what God calls sin is tolerated—or even celebrated—it does not produce freedom. It produces greater confusion, bondage, and brokenness.In Episode 7 of "The Chastening of the Lord," Duane Sheriff addresses the church's responsibility to uphold God's standard for sexual purity. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 5 and Revelation 2, he shows how seriously Scripture treats sexual immorality and why unchecked

God's correction is not meant to punish us, but to redeem us. He does not correct us out of anger, but out of love, because He knows the dangerous consequences of our sin.In Episode 6 of "The Chastening of the Lord," Duane Sheriff teaches why God chastens His children. God's grace fully forgives us and makes us righteous in Christ, but that does not mean sin is harmless. Sin can damage our lives, wound the people around us, and open a door for Satan.God's chastening serves three main purposes

Are you pursuing greatness on God's terms or on the world's terms? The world teaches us to climb higher, promote ourselves, gain influence, and push past others to succeed. However, Philippians 2 reveals a radically different path.In Part 2 of "Philippians," Duane Sheriff teaches that true greatness in God's kingdom is found through humility, selfless service, and adopting the mind of Christ. Paul calls believers to be like-minded, united in love, and joined together in genuine fellowship and

Have you ever wondered if you have committed the unpardonable sin? The fact that you even care that you may have displeased God means you did not commit the unpardonable sin.In Episode 5 of "The Chastening of the Lord," Duane Sheriff addresses one of the most misunderstood and fear-producing teachings in Christianity - the unpardonable sin, or blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

“The way I'm able to endure and receive God's correction is that I know He's not mad. He's not angry, punishing me, or making me feel guilty. God's chastening draws me toward Him. Condemnation pushes me away from Him.”In Episode 3 of "The Chastening of the Lord," Duane Sheriff explains what God's chastening is not. God's chastening is not wrath, anger, punishment, condemnation, or the curses of the law. Through the cross, Jesus redeemed believers from the curse of the law and bore God's wrath

How can God's chastening be redemptive? Many believers misunderstand God's chastening. Some think sickness, poverty, and suffering are punishments from God, while others ignore the idea of God's correction completely. Scripture distinguishes between the wrath from which Jesus delivered us and God's loving correction.In Episode 2 of "The Chastening of the Lord," Duane Sheriff explains the distinction between God's wrath under the Old Covenant law and God's loving discipline of His children under the

We live in a world that equates happiness with the absence of discipline and boundaries, yet Scripture presents a radically different picture. God's discipline is not a sign of His anger but of His love, producing maturity, character, resistance to temptation, and alignment with His purposes."God loves us and will not allow us to remain in things that are hindering His will for our life."

What does it look like to have genuine, unshakeable joy when life is falling apart around us? Joy is not a prize waiting at the finish line of our struggles or reserved for moments when things go as we hoped. Scripture reveals that supernatural joy can remain even in the middle of suffering, uncertainty, and chaos beyond our control.In "Philippians," Duane Sheriff shows through Paul's example how we can experience joy no matter what we face.

The armor described in Ephesians 6 is not simply equipment we put on before the battle begins.

If we only realized that God has been speaking to us all along, we did not know how to listen.In Part 4 of "Prayer – Drawing Near to God," Duane Sheriff teaches that prayer should be a dialog, not a monologue.
