Article: Feigned Miracles and Gullible People

By Wayne Jackson | Christian Courier

The article discusses false miracle claims—like a girl “raised from the dead” in India or people receiving “gold teeth” in Pentecostal services—and exposes them as unverified hoaxes used to raise money or gain attention.
Jackson emphasizes the biblical teaching of Luke 16 that even someone returning from the dead would not convince unbelievers, and he calls Christians to “test the spirits” (1 John 4:1) rather than accept every miraculous claim.

Sermon: “Was Blind But Now I See…” — Sam Eugenio

Text: John 9
Reading: Isaiah 42:5–7
Theme: Jesus restores both physical and spiritual sight.

Outline:

  1. Jesus Saw What Others Missed — compassion beyond appearances.

  2. The Wrong Question — focus on faith, not blame.

  3. The Right Perspective — pain as a platform for God’s glory.

  4. The Miracle of Obedience — healing through faith in action.

  5. Seeing with New Eyes — transformed vision through Christ.

Conclusion:
“I once was blind, but now I see.”
Jesus still opens eyes today—physically, spiritually, and emotionally.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” – Psalm 34:18

🕊 SERMON SUMMARY

Title: For Such a Time as This
Text: Esther 4:10–16

Have you ever wondered why you are where you are right now?
In Esther 4:10–16, Esther faces a defining choice—remain silent or step forward in faith. Mordecai reminds her:

“Who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”

God’s placement is intentional. Like Esther, we may feel fearful or unqualified, but God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things through obedience and faith. When Esther said, “If I perish, I perish,” she chose courage over comfort, faith over fear.
You are not an accident—step into your moment for such a time as this.

LIFE STRUGGLES (May 17, 2009)

A man once watched an emperor moth struggling to emerge from its cocoon. Wanting to help, he cut the cocoon open—but the moth emerged weak, with swollen body and shriveled wings, unable to fly.
The struggle was necessary for the moth’s strength and freedom.

Lesson: Without struggles, we would never grow strong.
Give every opportunity a chance, leave no room for regrets, and remember—there is power in the struggle.

Article: Do Angels Minister to Christians Today?

By Wayne Jackson | Christian Courier

“Are they not ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?” — Hebrews 1:14

The passage affirms that angels are ministering spirits sent by God to serve believers. The Greek form implies an affirmative answer—yes, angels minister to God’s people.

They are continually sent forth by God to act according to His divine will, serving those who will inherit salvation. Though the age of miracles has ceased, God may still use angels through providential means to accomplish His purposes.

There’s no evidence that angels appear visibly today as they did in ancient times (e.g., Acts 10). Their work now seems to function invisibly within God’s providence.
