GOT TRUTH?

Hopefully you came here to find spiritual answers. And answers you can know are based on The Truth from scripture and of which you don’t need to have a Theology Degree to understand?

To get started on your answer quest, a) Use the Search Box up above with your topic, or b) see if one of the questions immediately below relate to an answer you’re seeking or c) skip down to the 6 Charted Topic Areas below to find immediate answers. d) Last, Check out our Latest Topic/Post entered!.

THE SITE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION, but don’t let that stop you from seeing what we’re all about, and where we are going.

Do You want to hear a Message/Sermon or a Mini-Sermon about a question/topic which answers your question or concern, and is spoken on a level that is easy to understand, that is interesting, and based on the real world. And yet, you are confident you have just learned The Truth of what the Bible says on that topic as opposed to someones opinion?

Did you just start a book, one that is classified as a “New Age” book, which sounded right, but deep down you were not sure?

Are you a person of considerable wealth and you want to know what the Bible says can keep a particular wealthy person from inheriting the Kingdom of God and Heaven?

You just received Jesus Christ into your heart and now, just a week later you are receiving some unhelpful advice or maybe some negative input from a Non-Believing friend or family member, and you want to know how to process this, or perhaps the next step you can take?

Is the book that a friend loaned you providing you The Truth about what the Bible says, does it sound way cool, maybe too cool and maybe even “red flags” are going up in the back of your mind?

How do you go about finding that answer here at “Captain Greg’s Illustrations?

Type your phrase in the Search Box above and a list of answers will be provided such as the Sermon Title and/or Book title will pop up giving you the link to the answer within our website here. And in case you received no results, well by March, April of 2012, we will have all of our Sermons logged into the database so that you will find that answer. We will also take requests soon, but for now we ask you to bear with us while we Enter the Answers through Sermons.

In Our World today, there is much taught about Christianity and the Bible, much of which is accurate and The Truth. Unfortunately there is also a great deal of false teaching left into the hands of those individuals, preachers, pastors, priests, friends, etc; those with whom we naturally trust and respect.

We certainly believe that The Truth of the Bible is the most important concept that You who are reading this can ever understand, so with the link below We give you a complete if you will , explanation about guarding The Truth, and how we must learn how to discern who is not preaching The Truth, and thus leading people astray.

Why Sound So Intense On This? Because, We were told to be that way in scripture. In 2 Corinthians 4:1-2, the passage below may help clarify:

2 Corinthians 4:1-2

¹ Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. ² Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.

“The PURPOSE OF CAPTAIN GREG’S ILLUSTRATIONS WEBSITE is simply this; to help you find answers so that you may continue to grow in a relationship with Jesus Christ that you have already begun; and/or to help you find a way to handle the sinful strongholds, stresses, confusion, difficulty or to simply provide a spiritual answer for a situation in Your Life that may be causing you pain.”

If you don’t desire to read this explanation of Truth, then skip down to the 6 Charted Topic Areas below to find immediate answers. Our entire website will make much more sense to you, if you will take the time now, or later to get a grasp on what exactly is meant by The Truth.

The Law or The Gospel – What Medicine Do You Need?

Posted by oldwaverider on Monday, January 9th, 2012 in Sermons | Comments (0)

Is it possible for Laypersons or Ministers to apply the wrong Biblical Scripture for a situation, experience or feeling we are confronted with? When we seek or use the wrong Scripture to answer our problem, we make matters worse.

Have You or Anyone you know ever taken the wrong Medication or Prescription for an Illness? Guess that’s a no brainer, huh?

Pastor Greg uses perhaps the most important Sermon topic to make the point, to not use the wrong scripture for the incorrect situation. How will we know when we do make this mistake? Read on, or tune into the powerful message he delivers from Scripture.

Only twice in the Bible did people ask what Medicine They Need to Take to Get to Heaven (so to speak) or more accurately stated; what they must do to achieve Salvation. A Rich man and a Prison Guard: More>>

The Prophecy and Promise of The Cross

Listen to the sermon and see the explanation here:

Isaiah and Jesus Christ It is Amazing, that we don’t even need to read the New Testament and the four books of The Gospel (Matthew, Mark Luke and John) to know about the Trial before hand and Crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

Pastor Greg take the prophecies of the Old Testament, and shows through the actual Truth in scripture the story and details of the Trial of Christ and his Crucifixion. More>>

A Healthy Body

A Healthy Body is very important to us not only according to what the Bible says about our health, but also in order that we may be able to minister and evangelize with zeal and enthusiasm. Junk food and lack of exercise can create a lack of energy and dullness. Pastor Greg provides scripture to help make these points clear for us.
