In episode two of "Raising Godly Warriors," Duane Sheriff teaches a biblical approach to parenting through the metaphor of an arrow in Psalm 127. There are three stages of a child's development: the feathers (ages 0-10), where we train through repetition and protection, the shaft (ages 10-20), where we teach, shape character, and strengthen identity; and the tip (age 20 and beyond), where we launch them toward their God-given target.Scripture teaches that the biblical age of accountability begins at 20, not 18. In Numbers 14, God held those 20 years old and older accountable for Israel’s rebellion, while those younger were still considered under parental covering. This is more than historical detail—it's a spiritual warfare blueprint. Releasing our children prematurely can expose them to battles they are not yet equipped to fight, emphasizing the parental responsibility to protect, train, and prepare them until they can stand as warriors in their own right.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/raising-godly-warriors/

The family is under spiritual attack, and a confused culture is redefining the identities of our children. The very foundations of home, marriage, and parenthood are being shaken—and the Church can no longer remain silent.In the new series "Raising Godly Warriors," Duane Sheriff teaches that children are not accidents or burdens, but blessings—arrows in the hands of mighty warriors. Arrows must be shaped, trained, and aimed with purpose.God’s Word makes it clear that raising godly children isn’t something we learn on the fly - it’s something we are taught and equipped for through the home and the Church. Learn how to partner with God to raise sons and daughters who know their identity in Christ and carry His truth into the world.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/raising-godly-warriors/

Have you ever wondered why God chose to take on human form? God became man to destroy the works of the devil and restore the authority that was lost through Adam’s sin. By entering our humanity, Jesus—100% God and 100% man—reclaimed the dominion mankind had surrendered to Satan. Authority in earth was originally given to humanity, but Adam yielded that authority through sin. This is why Jesus had to be fully God and fully man: as God, His life held infinite value to ransom all creation; as man, He was able to repossess the authority Adam lost.Through salvation, believers now have authority and power by the Holy Spirit to live godly lives and continue Christ’s work on the earth. This mystery was hidden from Satan. Had he known that crucifying Jesus would result in millions of Spirit-filled believers destroying his works worldwide, he never would have done it.In "Great Is the Mystery of Godliness," Duane Sheriff unveils God’s divine plan of salvation by unpacking the six declarations of 1 Timothy 3:16. Every time we declare, “Jesus is alive,” we proclaim our own freedom, righteousness, and forgiveness.

What does it really mean to live a godly life in an increasingly ungodly world? As the world grows darker, some churches are drifting from biblical truth. In the message "Godliness," Duane Sheriff explores the mystery of godliness, teaching that true godly living flows from the person and finished work of Jesus Christ—His incarnation, death, resurrection, and exaltation.Godliness is not produced by rules, self-effort, or religious arguments, but by the transforming power of grace. There is a clear distinction between a powerless form of godliness and the life-changing power found in the gospel. Godliness is not about perfection—it is about transformation. When the mystery of the gospel grips our hearts, it empowers us to rise, walk in the light, and live in a way that reflects Christ to a watching world. It awakens a deep hunger to please God and bless others, bringing transformation not only to our own lives but to those around us.

Just as a loving father gives good gifts to his children, our Heavenly Father eagerly desires to bestow the gift of the Holy Spirit. In episode ten of "The Holy Spirit," Duane Sheriff teaches how to receive this incredible gift by asking in faith and being willing to speak in tongues. The key is to ask with confidence, believing that we receive at the moment we ask. This shift in perspective can transform our approach to spiritual growth, encouraging us to focus on Jesus as the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit, rather than getting caught up in the manifestations of that gift.Step out in faith, speak under the Spirit's anointing, and surround yourself with believers who can support and encourage you in this journey. We don’t have to beg, bargain, or wait—Jesus is eager to fill those who believe they receive when they ask. Open your heart to a deeper relationship with God through the power of the Holy Spirit.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-holy-spirit/

Unlock the power of speaking in tongues. In Acts chapter 2, the apostles spoke in tongues, declaring the wonderful works of God and revealing divine mysteries. Speaking in tongues allows our spirit to pray, communicating truths that go beyond human understanding.In episode nine of “The Holy Spirit,” Duane Sheriff teaches the scriptural basis for speaking in tongues, emphasizing its role in spiritual edification, divine communication, and expressing God’s glory. By addressing common misconceptions, we discover the importance of tongues alongside other spiritual gifts—especially prophecy. When we pray in tongues, our spirit connects directly with God, bypassing the limits of the natural mind to receive His infinite wisdom.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-holy-spirit/

Thanksgiving is more than a seasonal expression—it is a spiritual law that releases faith, joy, and victory in the believer’s life. Gratitude is essential for spiritual growth, aligning our hearts with God’s grace and opening the door for His power to work in situations that feel overwhelming or impossible. In Part Three of "The Law of Thanksgiving," Duane Sheriff teaches how God designed gratitude to shape our perspective and anchor our trust in Him. Scripture reveals that Thanksgiving is a powerful response of faith, acknowledging God as our source even before we see the outcome.When Thanksgiving becomes a lifestyle, it shifts our focus from problems to promises, from fear to faith, and from pressure to peace. Instead of being driven by circumstances, believers learn to stand firm in confidence, trusting God’s goodness and faithfulness while becoming more aware of His presence in every area of life.

The Holy Spirit equips every believer with divine gifts that reveal God's presence and power in the world. These gifts are available to everyone who wishes to serve in love. In episode eight of "The Holy Spirit," Duane Sheriff teaches on the nine gifts of the Spirit, emphasizing the power gifts and vocal gifts mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12. Understand the distinction between personal prayer language for private communion with God and the public gift of tongues for the edification of the Church.The gifts are expressions of grace intended to strengthen the body of Christ and reveal His glory through us. When love guides the use of spiritual gifts, the supernatural becomes natural, and the Church stands as a living testimony of God's power on earth.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-holy-spirit/

What if the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit, which are often considered relics of the past, were still accessible? Contrary to the belief that these gifts ceased with the early Church, they are still available today through the Holy Spirit for the edification of the entire body of Christ.In episode seven of "The Holy Spirit,” Duane Sheriff outlines the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit from 1 Corinthians 12, dividing them into three categories: those that reveal (word of knowledge, word of wisdom, discerning of spirits), those that act (faith, working of miracles, gifts of healings), and those that speak (various kinds of tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy). By understanding these gifts, we can edify other believers and strengthen our faith. Open your heart, earnestly desire them, and be ready to use them as the Spirit leads.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-holy-spirit/

Acts 2-4 describes the Holy Spirit filling those gathered in the upper room through three distinct manifestations: a mighty rushing wind, tongues of fire, and speaking in tongues. In episode six of "The Holy Spirit," Duane Sheriff explores the role of the Holy Spirit and addresses common misconceptions and controversies that arose during the day of Pentecost.Despite its controversy, speaking in tongues is well-documented in the Bible. It functions as a tool for magnifying God and, contrary to some beliefs, should not be prohibited. Acts 10 and Acts 19 provide further instances of both Jews and Gentiles receiving the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues. Why would God devote so much scripture to this if it were not meant to be an enduring aspect of our faith journey?The decision to speak in tongues is personal. God does not impose His will on us; instead, we choose to believe and receive. Like other acts of faith within God's kingdom, it requires our active participation.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-holy-spirit/
