What’s the Problem with Spiritism (& all that other stuff)?

Presented at Curwensville Alliance Church on 10/28/2018 by Pastor Steve Shields

Through the years, around Halloween, some pastors present biblical views of the occult, spiritism, witchcraft, and communication with the dead. It’s a topic that needs to be addressed from a rational, biblical perspective — regularly.

This message looks beneath the surface and reveals one of the deep motives some have for looking toward the dark arts.

As you listen to this podcast, you may discover that this deeper problem is more common than you might of thought.

And you may find freedom from it in your own life.

Look to The Return of Christ | Where to Look

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on October 14, 2018 by Pastor Steve Shields

I’ve known many people with diverse feelings about the return of Christ. Some love studying about it, and trying to see the signs. Others feel are less likely to be looking for it and feel that seeing current events as a fulfillment of prophecy is kind of over the top.

I understand both of these perspectives.

And while I am not wanting you to obsess about the return of Christ, I do hope I can help you to look forward to it in this podcast.

Look to Heaven | Where to Look

Presented on 9/30/2018 at Curwensville Alliance by Pastor Steve Shields

The Far Side. Who doesn’t love Far Side cartoons? Gary Larson was a master of humor that was just about a half-a-bubble-off.

In one of them, he has a man with angel wings and a halo, wearing a robe, sitting on a cloud, thinking to himself, “I wish I had brought a magazine.” The idea makes me smile — but only because I know it doesn’t represent reality.

If that cartoon represented reality, I couldn’t smile at it.

What, then, is it like to be in heaven? What will we do? What will be there. What will not be there?

This podcast helps us imagine heaven so that we can look forward to being there.
