Rebellious Minds: Kiwi Youth Sings – a kōrero with Dr Michael Brown

"Hands Up, Don't Shoot" will always be a lie, not matter how much Democrats insist it's true.

Democrats Never Let A Good Scam Go

What if the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing us he doesn't exist?

In this powerful message from Mark 1:21-28, we see Jesus confront a demon head on with just a word. But this moment is more than just a dramatic exorcism. It’s a window into a deeper, ongoing cosmic war between the kingdom of God and the forces of darkness.

Many today dismiss spiritual evil as myth or superstition—but Jesus didn’t. And neither should we. This sermon explores why acknowledging the supernatural is essential to fully grasping Jesus’ mission, how the Bible frames this spiritual battle, and what it means for us to join God’s victory using the weapons of Word and Spirit.

Listen now to wake up to the unseen battle and learn how to stand strong in the truth.
