| March, 2012 | Place of Safety | ||||
| Summary: ID: 142 |
Revelation 12 speaks of a place to which the Woman flees in the Wilderness. Is there a "Place of Safety" for Yahweh's children in the coming time of worst trouble the world will have ever seen? What has the Eternal done in the past and what does He say He'll do in the future to protect His family? Where could this "place" be? Does having a Place of Safety guarantee none of God's children will suffer severe persecution and martyrdom before the final years prior to Christ's return? Who will be in a Place of Safety? | ||||

| February, 2012 | Part 2 - It's really NOT too late! Father really wants to forgive the nations | ||||
| Summary: ID: 141 |
If the last message didn't persuade you, please hear this one. The Church says the world needs to repent. True. But how many times have we actually asked Yahweh to bring our nation to repentance and to be merciful to the church and nation? Many who came before us did, so why aren't we? Was Nineveh a "one off"? Why is there an "us vs. them" mentality? What will the end time Elijah's message be? Yahweh seeks someone praying "on behalf of the land". Will you? Can your country still come to repentance? Will you stand in the gap and pray? | ||||

| January, 2012 | Pray God's church and your country REPENT | ||||
| Summary: ID: 140 |
Preparing the last message - on being a Jonah or a Matthew - helped start this sermon. Philip gives clear signs if you're a Jonah or not. The books of Revelation, Daniel and the prophets have all been written. The time of great wrath is nearly here. Is it too late for our nation to repent? It's time we pray for that. I'll show you it's not too late for that. But where we start in our prayer is also all-important | ||||

| January, 2012 | Are you a Jonah or a Matthew? | ||||
| Summary: ID: 139 |
This is a 61 minute message about how we interact and relate to people who are not yet called into the faith. Which kind of messenger are we - a Jonah or a Matthew? Have you ever had a Matthew Party or a Matthew Dinner? Have you been like the Samaritan woman at the well, urging people to come meet the Messiah you've come to know? Or are we more like Jonah in his attitude to Nineveh? | ||||

| December, 2011 | YESHUA "Hiding in Plain Sight" | ||||
| Summary: ID: 138 |
Many sermons have been preached showing how our Savior is revealed to us in so many ways. He's sometimes "the Angel of Yahweh" ("of the LORD"). We can find Him depicted by the animal sacrifices, the Lamb, the temple and tabernacle furniture and so much more. In this message, I hope you'll delight to "find" our Yeshua in so many expressions we may just be reading right over. Enjoy, as we go looking for our Beloved Master and King as we come to know and recognize Him more and more in so many scriptures. | ||||

| December, 2011 | "Our" God, our Father, our Kingdom, our City | ||||
| Summary: ID: 137 |
We usually just say "God" or "Christ" or "Jesus" when speaking about the Creator or Savior. This sermon explains the importance of having a closer identification with our God and Savior. People who don't know Yahweh often say "Oh my G--" when making an exclamation, breaking the 3rd commandment. But we of His people should be speaking of our Father and our God as "OUR" God and "OUR" - or MY - Father, my God, my Savior. The prophets and apostles did. Yeshua did. Making this one little change in the way you speak of Him will affect your relationship more than you might realize right now. This teaching explains why. | ||||

| October, 2011 | The Last Great Day of the Feast | ||||
| Summary: ID: 135 |
Our Messiah, Jesus the Christ (or Yeshua, as I prefer), cried out at the end of the Water Libation ceremony on the last day of the Feast. Which day was always called "the Great Day" and still is? In context, what was the meaning of His words? Who was it pointing to? Why were 70 bulls sacrificed? Why were the priests led by a flutist called "the Pierced One"? Learn how their Salvation (Yeshua) was "hiding in plain sight". John 7:37-39 is explained in context. Hear what is usually missed about this day and message. | ||||

| October, 2011 | What is our Creator's name? Part 2 of 2 | ||||
| Summary: ID: 133 |
Names are important. The living God's personal name is important as well, according to Him in His own word. All we ask is that you hear Parts 1-2 to the end, and then decide what you believe on this issue. Is there a restoration work of an end-time Elijah? What one name did our fathers most often use when addressing their Creator in prayer? Read and hear their recorded prayers. Is "God" His name, or what He is? A close look at the 3rd commandment. Shouldn't we just call him "Father"? Is that His name? More on the question of is Yahweh just the Father - or Father and Son? See the prophecies of Gentiles and all the world worshiping His name soon. Hallelu Yah! | ||||

| October, 2011 | What is our Creator's name? Part 1 of 2 | ||||
| Summary: ID: 132 |
Satan has deceived the whole world, so is it possible he's also deceived us on the Creator's name? Does God's name even matter? Does God even have a personal name, or does He have so many names you can take your pick from many to choose from? This sermon will challenge you, regardless of the side you start on. I just pray you will hear it to the end. Do we translate God's name and use that? Have we changed His word against His clear command not to? | ||||

| September, 2011 | Guarding Holiness | ||||
| Summary: ID: 131 |
Without being a partaker of God's own holiness we won't see God (Heb. 12:10, 14). There are many misconceptions about holiness. What does "holy" mean? Why is it important? Whose holiness counts? How does one become holy? Were there more than one messiah? Can someone unconverted be holy? Is God still filling His temple on earth with His glory? What's the meaning of the two kingdoms at war in Rebekah and what that means for us? Why Samson lost his strength when he broke one Nazirite vow but not when he broke the other Nazirite vows. Guarding and cherishing the holiness we've been given is the focus of the last third of the sermon. | ||||

| July, 2011 | Our Opportunity to help the Poor - It's an Honor | ||||
| Summary: ID: 130 |
Though Jesus himself said "the poor you have with you always", the Eternal God has a plan that if followed, would result - in his own words - with nobody being poor. Listen to Father's loving words on how He views the poor. We also discuss "third tithe" briefly. Father provides clear opportunities for us to help the needy. How would you like to lend to God? Hear what He promises, when we help poor folks. This is not a "redistribution of wealth" sermon imposed by big government - but a sermon about what God in heaven says He will do for us if we follow His directions, especially when it comes to poor people. | ||||

Yeshua said, "I go prepare a place for you". This message explains the astonishing connection of John 14 with Pentecost. Are we going to heaven to get married or not? What does Pentecost have to do with weddings involving the Living God? Learn how the weddings of Jesus' day picture what God is doing so his Son has a wonderful home for his Bride when he marries her. Where will the Wedding Supper take place? Where is that exciting home and huppah bridal chamber for the Bride? Are the ten virgins of Matthew 25 the same as the Bride? And what does all this have to do with Pentecost?

| Summary: ID: 123 |
(From March, 2009) One of my favorite heart-felt messages, delivered to a live audience in CA in 1989 but as current as ever. Use this as part of a pre-baptism or pre-Passover examination of how far we have truly overcome or changed since God called us. We explain how we do what we do because of what we are. We have to acknowledge what we are, repent and have God give us His new nature before real and permanent change occurs. Why does this make any difference? Repentance will take on a much more personal and much deeper meaning after this message. | ||||

| April, 2011 | Why Satan is released after the 1,000 years | ||||
| Summary: ID: 121 |
Passover season is all about our total victory through Christ over Satan, sin and its consequences. Satan is gone during the Millennium, so why would God release Satan at the end of the thousand years? Have you ever heard a reason that makes sense? Jeffery Niccum reviews the blueprint Yahweh has consistently required from the beginning of his angels, Adam and Eve, God's own son Jesus Christ and all His firstfruits. See how Satan fits into God's incredible plan. Some of your cherished assumptions about the Millennium, the resurrections and the timing of various events may be challenged. This sermon will make you think. | ||||

| March, 2011 | Sins of Ignorance vs Other Sins | ||||
| Summary: ID: 120 |
We examine many scriptures showing God regards sins of knowledge (knowing what we're doing is wrong) far more seriously than sins of ignorance, or unintentional sins. A good Pre-Passover examination. We discuss: how often in fact we sin with full knowledge of what we're doing; how to put the real leaven of sin out of our lives. Really overcoming sin, really changing. "Casual sin", sins done in defiance. We hope Passover means more after this message. | ||||

| November, 2010 | The GIFT of God's Righteousness by faith | ||||
| Summary: ID: 115 |
This is one of the most important messages I've ever given. We all know about God's grace and receiving His forgiveness for our sins. But then what? Going forward, even WITH God's Spirit, will we be judged by our righteousness? Even with the Holy Spirit, Paul said HE kept failing (Romans7). What's the answer? We must be righteous, for the unrighteous won't be in the kingdom of God. But whose righteousness alone is good enough for the kingdom? God offers a gift many believers have not fully received. Experience the joy of His salvation that comes when we truly understand this great gift - while avoiding the two ditches: the ditch of legalism or the ditch of license to disobey Yahweh's ways. | ||||

| October, 2010 | The BIG Picture | ||||
| Summary: ID: 112 |
God exists in eternity. There was nothing but the spirit dimension prior to the physical creation. Will the physical creation last forever, or will the reality of the universe revert back to only the spirit dimension? Is the physical creation the means to an end - and if so, what end? Based on clues from scripture, this message is a thought-provoking and fun hypothesis to ponder. This message also includes an intriguing analysis of the new Jerusalem. Enjoy. (Philip's note: This message is from Jeff Niccum, a friend and elder in WA state. From time to time, I'll try to add other messages for a change of pace.) | ||||
