Trey Knowles - Truth & Knowledge

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 82 – “Love Is a Commandment” In this episode, Trey Knowles poses a thought-provoking question: Does love give us a reason to keep living in sin? He teaches that love is not optional but a commandment from God. If we do not love our brothers and sisters, how can we truly claim to love Him? The true evidence that God abides in us is shown through the way we love others.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 80 – "Increase" In this episode, Trey Knowles discusses the importance of seeking an increase in the things of God rather than worldly possessions. He emphasizes that earthly things are temporary and hold no lasting value, while spiritual growth and godliness have eternal significance. Trey challenges listeners to turn away from the foolishness of the world and instead labor for what is righteous. His message is clear: true increase comes from God, not from material gain. He encourages prayer and a deep desire for spiritual growth, expressing that he no longer wants what the world offers because it is not aligned with godliness.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 78 – "Cancel the Culture"In this episode, Trey Knowles discusses the importance of rejecting the culture of the devil and choosing to live for God. He emphasizes that those who continue in sin do not belong to God, as God is righteous and calls His people to be holy. Trey encourages believers to turn away from worldly influences and live in alignment with God's will. The episode highlights how the world, the flesh, and the devil are often seen as the primary forces that oppose God and lead people away from a true relationship with Him.

Truth & Knowledge – Episode 76: "Behavior Choice" In this episode, Trey Knowles emphasizes that behavior is a personal choice and each individual is responsible for their actions. He discusses the importance of protecting ourselves and our families from sinful behavior, highlighting that both consequences and eternal outcomes—Heaven or Hell—are tied to our choices. Obedience, like self-control, is within every person's reach. Ultimately, we are governed by our desires, but it is up to us to choose whether to follow them or to exercise control.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 74 – “I Rebuke You World” In this episode, Trey Knowles declares a strong message of spiritual separation from the world: Christians must not become entangled in the world's systems—especially politics—for these belong to the world, not to God. “Anyone who does not lead me toward repentance in Christ, I must rebuke,” Trey says. “Both political sides—Democrat and Republican—are demonic. This nation must return to God and reject the devil and his ways.” A Nation Serving Two Masters America has become, in Trey's words, a false prophet nation—one that preaches constitutional rights and liberty to sin while still claiming God's name. But Scripture reminds us: No one can serve two masters. Trey reflects on his spiritual journey: “I am running a good race for the Lord. But who is cutting in on me, trying to keep me from obeying the truth—trying to make me agree with sin? Is that not the system of America?” He cites Galatians 5:7–9, warning that “a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.” The persuasion of worldly culture does not come from the One who calls us. Those who bring confusion with their worldly systems will face judgment. The Offense of the Cross Trey asks: “If I were preaching that you can do whatever you please under your own authority, why would I be persecuted? Why is there still a conflict between flesh and spirit within us?” If the message of the cross offends no one, then its power has been emptied. But Christ's sacrifice was not in vain. The only thing that truly matters is to love Jesus Christ with all your heart. As Jesus said in John 14:15, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” The Way That Seems Right There is a way that seems right to the world—but if it is not the way of the Lord, it leads only to destruction. You cannot love the world's systems more than you love God. If your heart clings to the “Founding Fathers” and their earthly constitution more than to the Word of God, how can the love of the Father dwell in you? True worshipers must worship in spirit and truth. As Matthew 10:36–39 teaches: “Anyone who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. Whoever does not take up their cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me. Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for My sake will find it.” Do Not Love the World The Word of God is clear in 1 John 2:15–17: “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.” America and the Spirit of the Age Trey poses a sobering question: “Has America been resurrected? Has it been born again in the Spirit of God?” When people cry, ‘Let's make America great again,' Trey asks, “In whose image of greatness are they speaking?” Many glorify the founding fathers and the Constitution rather than the living Christ, justifying their freedom to sin. “Let's make America great again? We rebuke it.” Why follow a beast that does evil in God's sight? Why remain loyal to a system that has become, as Revelation describes, a dwelling place for demons and every unclean spirit? Trey warns believers not to commit spiritual adultery with the ways of America. A Warning from Lot's Wife In Genesis 19, Lot's wife looked back toward Sodom and was turned into a pillar of salt. Trey asks: “When you say ‘Let's make America great again,' are you moving forward in Christ—or looking back to a life of self-indulgence and sin?” To look back is to turn from the Spirit of life to the bondage of the flesh. Whose Mark Do You Bear? In the end, Trey challenges the listener to examine their allegiance: “When you vote or pledge loyalty, are you choosing the mark of God or the mark of the beast?” Jesus said in Matthew 10:39, “Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for My sake will find it.” And Philippians 3:20 reminds us: “Our citizenship is in heaven, and from there we eagerly await the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.” So, Trey concludes: “I rebuke you, world. My allegiance is not to a nation, but to the Kingdom of God.” #tkmessage

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 72 – “Jesus Is The Son of God” In this episode, Trey Knowles delves into God's Final Word — His Son, drawing from Hebrews 1 and other key scriptures to reveal Jesus' divine identity and supreme authority. God Speaks Through His Son In the past, God communicated through prophets, but now He has spoken fully through His Son — the heir of all things and the One through whom the universe was made. Jesus reflects the very glory and nature of God, sustaining all creation by His powerful word. After accomplishing the purification of sins, He took His rightful place at the right hand of God in heaven, exalted above the angels. The Son's Superiority to Angels Scripture distinguishes the Son from the angels. God never called an angel His Son or invited one to sit at His right hand. Instead, He commands the angels to worship Jesus, affirming His eternal throne and divine rule. The heavens and the earth will fade, but the Son remains unchanged — eternal and sovereign. Jesus Reveals the Father Jesus Himself declared, “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14:9). His words and works are those of the Father living within Him. As He stated, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30), confirming His divine unity with God. Creator and Sustainer of All Things Colossians 1:16 proclaims that all things — visible and invisible — were created through and for Christ. He is not merely a messenger but the Creator and purpose of all existence. The Way, the Truth, and the Life Jesus declared in John 14:6 that He alone is the way to the Father — the truth and the life. No one can come to God apart from Him. Eternal and Almighty Finally, in Revelation 1:8, Jesus identifies Himself as “the Alpha and the Omega… who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” Through these truths, Trey Knowles emphasizes that Jesus is not simply a prophet or teacher but the eternal Son of God — the full revelation of God's glory, authority, and love.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 70 – “Love Never Fails” In this episode, Trey Knowles dives into a powerful truth: Love changes things. Love makes things better. Where there's love, the bad stuff starts to fade away. Now, you might be thinking, “Yeah right, the bad stuff disappears?” — but Trey reminds us that love is a two-way street. It's about giving and receiving. The problem is, many people don't truly receive love because their attention is caught up somewhere else. Trey gets real about his own journey. He shares how, as a child — and even as a young man — he wanted his own way. He was immature, chasing things that didn't matter. But when he made the decision to receive God's love, everything started to shift. His childish ways began to fade. He reminds us that the beginning of knowledge is to fear God. And when you walk in that reverence, all the “bad stuff” loses its hold — because love never fails. Trey also asks an important question: “Am I perfect?” Well, that depends on what you call perfect — and by whose standards. He says, “If I fear the Lord, which I do, then my love never fails.” In this life, we only see part of the picture — a reflection. But one day, we'll see God face to face. Until then, we worship in part, waiting for the completeness that comes through Jesus Christ. He points to Mark 2:22, reminding us that new wine can't go into old wineskins. In other words, when love enters our lives, we have to be made new — transformed from the inside out. For now, what remains is faith, hope, and love — and the greatest of these is love. This episode draws from 1 Corinthians 13:8–13, a timeless reminder that: “Love never fails… For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face… And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 68 – “Love Always Hopes” In this episode, Trey Knowles reflects on the truth that love always hopes—and that our ultimate hope is found in Jesus Christ. Every human longs for life, but Trey asks, how do we truly find it? Drawing from Hebrews 11:1, he explains that “faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen,” and that the life we hope for is revealed in Jesus, who declared in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” Trey reminds listeners that Jesus is the pure substance and living proof of God's love, as shown in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” To love the Son is to love the Father—and this love produces hope rooted in obedience and faith. He emphasizes that true hope comes from aligning our will with God's, living out “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Jesus modeled this obedience perfectly, showing that real hope flows from loving God as He loves us. Trey warns that if our hope is placed in anything other than Jesus—such as behavior, lifestyle, traditions, or desires—we are hoping in the wrong things. We did not create ourselves, and we cannot give ourselves life; only God, the Creator of all, gives true and eternal life. He concludes with 2 Corinthians 5:1–5, reminding us that even though our earthly bodies may fade, we have an eternal home built by God Himself. Through His Spirit, He guarantees what is to come—a life of everlasting hope found only in Him.
