Satan’s Gospel, What Is It?

Do you know what Satan’s fantasy is? If you don’t then don’t worry, you will most like it hear it preached from the pulpit of your church next Sunday. In this brief live audio teaching, Bro. Shane Vaughn of First Harvest Ministries teaches and exposes the false gospel of the modern church and talks about his personal journey. There was a moment in his life when everything in his thinking changed, when God asked him “When will you preach MY Gospel?” This question came after Bro. Vaughn spent a lifetime of preaching what he knew to be “The Gospel” but as he was soon to find out from his studies, he had actually been teaching Satan’s Gospel.

Layers Of The Law-Part 4

Torah, Law of Moses, Law of God, Jewish Law…… all words that we are forced to deal with, sometimes uncomfortably so when we make up in our minds to become a Commandment Keeping believer. Sounds great but then we run headlong into which Commandments still apply! Which ones were done away with and since we all know that no one can practically keep all 613 laws of Torah then shouldn’t we just disregard it under grace and hope for the best? (Would you discard your car’s instruction manual just because it’s overwhelming?) Is there an answer? There Is!

This is part 4 of a 4 part teaching series by Shane Vaughn. We will deal systematically with the entire conversation about the Law of God.
