The practice of red teaming is a highly effective means of preparing a delegation for successful negotiations because it helps the delegation to identify and prepare for an opponent's negotiating goals, strategies, strengths, and weaknesses. There are numerous ways to use red teaming, but the goal of each is to create a better understanding of the opposing party's views.

Williams1 Corinthians 10:1-13 When God put to Satan the question, “Hast thou considered my servant Job” (Job 1:8), Satan did not say, who is he? Instead, he engaged with the question and responded by saying; “Doth Job fear God for nought?” (Job 1:9). It appears from this verse that this righteous man was well known to the prince of darkness. Have you ever considered that your name is also known to the armies of hell? This puts a whole new dimension on spiritual warfare. Having not just one scheme but many, Paul instructs us to “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye...2020-03-021h 06Bethesda ShalomThe Father’s Pruning Shears – Paul M. WilliamsThe Father’s Pruning Shears – Paul M. Williams John 15:1-6 On a traditional vine that has been trained, there is a main with thick horizontal branches coming off from the trunk. All along the branches, at regular intervals are knuckles (spurs), out of which grow pencil-like stems called canes. It is on these canes that the grapes will grow; however, grapes will only grow on canes that are one year old which means there is a need for pruning every single season to remove the old wood. It’s been said that grapevines are probably pruned m...2019-11-251h 05Bethesda ShalomTo the Jew First – Paul M. WilliamsRomans 1:16 As one surveys the last two thousand years of Church history, one will see that sadly, anti-Semitism has plagued its ranks at every juncture, hiding beneath the thinly clad veneer of theology so-called. Replacement theology—the belief that the Church has replaced national Israel (the Jewish people) in becoming the new inheritors of the promises given specifically to Israel in the Tanakh—has caused an arrogance to arise in the Christian Church (comprising largely of Gentile believers) of which the Apostle Paul warned against in the eleventh chapter of the book of Romans; “Boast not against the br...2019-06-2444 minBethesda ShalomA Small Thing to Be Judged by Men – Paul M. Williams1 Corinthians 4:1-5 The longer that I’m alive and the longer that I continue in service to the Lord, is the more that I’ve come to realise, you can’t please everyone!! What will be pleasing to one, will inevitably be the cause of displeasure to another and what will serve to light a smile on one face will no doubt serve to put a frown on another. Of course, as a Christian, we’re mandated to let our light shine before men that in seeing our good works, they might give praise to God. “In all things (w...2019-05-1359 minBethesda ShalomYour Sin Will Find You Out – Paul M. Williams2 Samuel 20:8-13 I wonder, how many of us as Christians live in light of the coming judgment. How many of us walk in the shadow of this reality. Paul a thoroughly saved and blood washed man, in light of the judgment seat of Christ, sought to live and labour in such a way so as to be blameless, commending himself in the sight of God and before the consciences of men. My Brother, my Sister, when I look today in the professing Church of Christ, I see so little fear of God in the hearts of His peo...2018-12-171h 07Bethesda ShalomTo the Church in Ephesus (Rev. 2:1-7) – Paul M. WilliamsRevelation 2:1-7 Ephesus was a city of tremendous importance and was by far the greatest city in Asia. Commercially it was unrivalled and was the wealthiest being surpassed by very few cities of that day. Being situated at the mouth of an important river, Ephesus commanded the trade of that region and was dubbed “The Vanity Fair of the Ancient World”. Politically, it too was a city of great importance earning for itself the name “Supreme Metropolis of Asia”, and of course religiously, it held a place of incredible prominence being the centre of the worship of Artemis aka...2018-10-271h 04Bethesda ShalomFirm Foundations (Pt. 16) Overcoming Sin – Paul M. WilliamsPart 16 – How Do I Overcome Sin? Perhaps no greater area deserving of our attention is the question posed as the title of this teaching part; “How Do I Overcome Sin?” Ask the average Christian this question and you’re sure to be greeted with a mixture of responses. I hear one say, “why are you worried about sin, it’s been dealt with at Calvary; the grace of God has covered all sins, past, present, and future”. Another, I hear say “didn’t Paul struggle with sin? The things he wanted to do he didn’t do and the things he desire...2018-04-071h 02Bethesda ShalomAsk Again for the Old Paths (Pt. 3) - Paul M.

I fear that we’ve become experts in exposing the error that’s outside while our own house lies in ruin! The pressing need among the professing remnant Church in these Last Days is for God to send into our midst a “Nathan the prophet” who can point the finger into our very hearts and cry...2018-03-271h 05Bethesda ShalomFirm Foundations (Pt. 14) What is a Disciple? – Paul M. WilliamsPart 14 – What Is a Disciple of Jesus Christ? There exists a terrible misconception amongst many professing believers in Christ about what constitutes a true Christian. Some when asked, point to a time and date when they said a sinners prayer; others refer to a Church membership roll with their name upon it! Some still would direct you to their baptismal certificate signed by the pastor. As human beings, I tend to find that we always want a formula that will produce the desired result and on face-value, there’s nothing wrong with that. On the day of Pentecos...2018-03-1055 minBethesda ShalomWhen You’ve Only One Shot – Paul M. Williams2 Timothy 4:5-8 When you’ve only one shot, what do you do? You make it count!! When you’ve only one bullet in the chamber, though you may have fired hundreds before it, that one bullet by reason of it being your last, now becomes priceless and the need for it to find its target, paramount! In the hour of plenty, one is at liberty to fire and miss a few, but when you’re down to the last shot, there are no second chances! My dear Brothers and Sisters, life is very much like this. Oh, I know...2017-11-1359 minBethesda ShalomMark Them Which Cause Divisions (Rom 16:17-27) - Paul M. WilliamsRomans 16:17-27 In earnest concern, Paul instructs the Church at Rome with passion, to mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which they had learned and to avoid them. When one understands the heart of God concerning His flock and the prayers of Christ that His Church may be one; insight is gleaned and understanding is gained as it relates to the importance of unity. One begins to see the utter wickedness and evil of a divisive person! The Greek word for division is where we get our English word for dichotomy, which mea...2016-12-191h 10Bethesda ShalomPaul’s Roll Call Of Honour (Rom 16:1-16) - Paul M. WilliamsRomans 16:1-11 All I’m sure are familiar with the concept of a roll of honour, a list of names of those counted worthy of receiving honour; of being highly esteemed in the sight of men and thus to be regarded with great respect. In the chapter before us, Paul lists his own roll call of honour, of faithful Saints counted worthy of double honour on account of their faithful labours of service in Christ towards the Brethren, not least towards Paul himself. Among many of the nobles, are the names of women, the first of which bein...2016-12-1154 minBethesda ShalomDistributing To The Needs Of The Saints (Rom 15:25-33) - Paul M. WilliamsRomans 15:25-33 Having dealt already at length concerning the matter of Christian love, in a variety of Christian contexts throughout this most blessed epistle to the Romans; it is not surprising that once again before long, Paul revisits this great theme in what is yet another application of its manifold beauty!! Its depths can never be plummeted, its heights never scaled – inexhaustible, indispensable, exceeding all limits, uncontainable, unexpendable – LOVE!! In the verses before us in this sermon, we find yet another application of love as it pertains to Christian giving. We take a closer look at thi...2016-12-051h 06Bethesda ShalomThe Mystery of the Gospel (Rom 15:8-13) - Paul M. WilliamsRomans 15:8-13 There are many mysteries in the universe yet unsolved by man; veiled from his sight, concealed from his understanding; beyond his comprehension. Such mysteries have always fascinated mankind, beholding the wonder and the splendour, yet at a loss how to furnish an adequate explanation. The Apostle Paul spoke much of the mystery of the gospel. The prophets of old foretold of a future time when the Gentiles would join the household of Israel to praise the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The fact that this was going to happen was no mystery yet...2016-11-141h 02Bethesda ShalomCaesar or Christ? (Rom 13:1-7) – Paul M. WilliamsRomans 13:1-7 Great misunderstanding exists among some believers regarding our relationship to governing authorities. Some boast that they have only one King to whom they owe their allegiance and thus they break the law of the land! Paul takes very strong objection against such a view and instructs believers that they are to recognise that governing authorities have received their seat of power from God. God’s ministers they are, to execute wrath and justice in His place! As Christians we are not to be rebels in our cause but rather we are to subject ourselves to those...2016-10-171h 02Bethesda ShalomA Practical Christianity (Rom 12:9-21) – Paul M. WilliamsLike a man with only 30 seconds to live in which to speak his departing words; Paul with his finger on the trigger, fires out no less than 32 heart searching commands. Each command is like the bullet of a trained marksman, finding its way to its given target! Every word counting to encourage, reprove, exhort and edify the Body of Jesus Christ. If there was a word to sum up the vast array of words found in the passage before us, it would be the word love! If there was a container in which the whole sum of words could be s...2016-10-101h 23Bethesda ShalomPresent Your Bodies A Living Sacrifice (Rom 12:1-2) – Paul M.

My gift is small, it is my all, accept it Lord I pray; let self be slain, let Jesus reign, within my heart alway”. Oh, dear soul…is your all on the altar of sacrifice laid? What yet remains to give Him who gave all to us? The world is ever seeking to fashion...2016-09-261h 07Bethesda ShalomAll Israel Shall Be Saved! (Rom 11) - Paul M. WilliamsRomans 11 When one surveys that peculiar and special people group known as the Jews; one would think them to be altogether cast off by God. How so few it seems have come to saving faith in Messiah; how many vehemently oppose the gospel of Jesus Christ!! With a deep groaning and an inescapable burden for his people, Paul lays down the case as to why it is absolutely not the case that God has cast off His covenanted people Israel!! With careful exegesis and passionate preaching, the case is made in this sermon teaching in favou...2016-09-191h 11Bethesda ShalomThe Coming Storm – Paul M. WilliamsPersecution is no longer some detached notion concerning oppressed Christian brothers and sisters from some distant land, but the reality of impending tribulation for believers is happening right here and now! The very foundations of the Christian faith are being eroded right before our eyes; society and governments are becoming increasingly secular and anti-Christian; the trampling and disregard of biblical values is taking place at an alarming and unprecedented rate! Are we really ready for the coming storm? Paul M. Williams challenges the church to faithfully prepare for what’s ahead!2016-09-091h 05Bethesda ShalomA Bride Adorned For Her Bridegroom – Paul M. WilliamsPaul brings a very serious and sobering Word, calling the Bride of Christ to make herself ready for her husband!! There are many titles for Christ – Lord, Saviour, King, Redeemer – yet there is one title that is often lost in our understanding of who Christ is, namely Christ my Husband!! Marriage in the West is being decimated! As the sanctity and fidelity of matrimony is being lost, so too is the Church’s perception of this holy union between them and the Bridegroom, Jesus Christ. Jesus is coming back for a bride unspotted by the world, a wife who has made h...2016-09-081h 11Bethesda ShalomCall On The Lord And Be Saved (Rom 10) - Paul M. WilliamsRomans 10 The Apostle Paul continues to pour out his heart and affection for his countrymen, his kinsmen according to the flesh. Well noting their zeal for God, Paul points out the sad reality that their zeal is not according to knowledge. Seeking to establish their own righteousness via the merits of the law, they have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God which come by faith in Jesus Christ. In absolute simplicity and beauty, Paul lays out for his brethren the means by which they might be saved by faith, confessing with one’s mout...2016-09-041h 08Bethesda ShalomA Remnant According To Election (Rom 9) - Paul M. WilliamsRomans 9 Paul’s great heaviness and continual sorrow of heart was for his own kinsmen according to the flesh. Such was his great love for his nation that he wished himself were accursed from Christ for his people Israel. Nationally, they had not come into the salvation of Messiah with only a remnant being saved. Paul in seeking to reconcile this fact with the faithfulness and justice of a covenant keeping God, demonstrates from history that God has always chosen to call by election showing mercy to whom He will, calling for Himself not only a remnant from...2016-08-151h 12Bethesda ShalomNo Weapon Formed Against You Shall Prosper!! (Rom 8:24-39) - Paul M. WilliamsRomans 8:24-39 Jesus told His disciples plainly,"...In this world ye shall have tribulation: but be of god cheer; I have overcome the world (Jn. 16:33). The Apostle Paul in echoing the same sentiments, spoke too of a necessary suffering with Christ that we might receive our inheritance as beloved children in an age yet to come. The great hope of our glorification with Christ at His appearing ought to be a great source of encouragement to us as believers, not least when enduring under trial and hardship. In these final verses of Romans chapter 8, Paul...2016-08-071h 06Bethesda ShalomChildren of God (Rom 8:15-23) - Paul M. WilliamsRomans 8:15-23 Paul continues in this chapter to set forth the redemptive purposes of God in Christ Jesus for mankind. Turning away from looking at the believers experience in the here and now, Paul now looks ahead to the future wherein shall be revealed the full redemptive purposes of God in the glories which await us at the coming of Christ. When asked how this can be? The answer lies in our adoption as sons and daughters of God! As such we have been grafted into the family of God and have received the Spirit of adoption wher...2016-08-011h 02Bethesda ShalomLife Under The Law (Rom 7) - Paul M. WilliamsRomans 7 One of the most abused and misunderstood chapters in the whole of New Testament is the chapter before us in this sermon, namely Romans chapter 7. I say abused, because for many this chapter offers a supporting crutch for them to continue to live in habitual sin; for after all they’ll say, if Paul struggled with sin doing those things he desired not to do and not doing those things he desired to do – then who are we!! I say also misunderstood, because so often in the exegesis and application of Holy Scripture, we must first establ...2016-07-1858 minBethesda ShalomAn Exhortation To Holiness (Rom 6) - Paul M. WilliamsRomans 6 In the mind of many Christians, the only difference between themselves and that of sinners is that they are “forgiven”. Grace is viewed as an insurance policy in which we can sin now and claim forgiveness later. Admittedly, whilst many would not be so brazen as to put it in those exact words; the sad reality is that in experience, this proves to be the policy under which many who name the name of Christ live! Paul begins the sixth chapter of Romans with a question; “Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound”? He spends the r...2016-07-101h 12Bethesda ShalomJesus Christ Vs Adam (Rom. 5:12-21) – Paul M.

Though it shines with the beauty of a rising sun and glistens with the splendour of a snow capped mountain; though one cannot escape the beauty of the vast array of wildlife, as beautiful as all this is, that beauty is overshadowed by the presence of a lurking enemy, poised to take it all away. That enemy has a name and its name is death! Many today deny the doctrine of or...2016-07-041h 08Bethesda ShalomReconciled To God (Rom 5:1-11) - Paul M. WilliamsRomans 5:1-11 Paul has already dealt with two great doctrines in the preceding two chapters of this great epistle to the Romans, the doctrine of justification by faith and the doctrine of redemption. Now Paul comes to another great doctrine and pillar of the Christian faith, namely the doctrine of reconciliation which results from the other two. Can it be, that we who were formerly at enmity with God have been brought into a state of friendship? This is the great clarion call of the Gospel; be ye reconciled to God!! This sermon lays out thi...2016-06-2759 minBethesda ShalomImputed Righteousness (Rom 4) - Paul M. WilliamsRomans 4 For 1500 years, Israel had been under the heavy yoke of the law. This had been their rule of life since the time of their coming out of Egypt when God entered into covenant with them at Mt. Sinai. Paul was clear of one thing (himself being a Pharisee for many years), by the works of the law shall no man be justified in the sight of God! If any man was going to stand a chance of gaining right-standing with God, it was to be by faith alone that the reward might be of grace! I...2016-06-191h 01Bethesda ShalomReligious Pride and Hypocrisy (Rom 2:17-29) - Paul M. WilliamsRomans 2:17-29 Having mounted a case against the self-righteous man and having concluded that both Jew and Gentile stand condemned before a holy God, Paul now turns his attention in particular to the religious Jew who rested in the law though he kept it not! The Jew made his boast in his creed and pedigree, in the receiving of the law, in the external rite of circumcision. Paul would have none of it and seeks to pull the rug of religious pride from under his feet and to lay bare his hypocrisy. Say not we have Abraham to o...2016-05-3058 minBethesda ShalomSelf-Righteousness And God’s Impartial Judgment (Rom 2:1-16) – Paul M. WilliamsRomans 2:1-16 Jesus reserved some of His most chiding words for the religious hypocrites. Content to dwell in their self-righteousness, to sit in the seat of judgment against others yet failing to see that by that same judgment they themselves were condemned!! Against such, Paul lays down the case and when he’s finished getting done, the righteousness of the self-righteousness is reduced to dust and ashes!! To the Jew seeking to justify himself in the sight of God, he has been weighed and found wanting! To the Gentile he too has been tried by the law writte...2016-05-2256 minBethesda ShalomThe Gospel of Christ And Man's Depravity (Rom 1:13-32) - Paul M. WilliamsRomans 1:13-32 The Apostle Paul's heart was that he might come to preach the gospel to those at Rome. Whilst many today desire to draw in a crowd, Paul was not interested in doctoring the gospel to accomplish such means. Whilst many today are ashamed of the foolishness of preaching, Paul desired to preach nothing less for he knew that the unadulterated gospel of Jesus Christ was the power of God unto salvation to all who would believe. Just as the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, so also is the terrifying wr...2016-05-151h 11Bethesda ShalomThe Blessing of New Testament Giving - Paul M.

There are it seems more crooks and charlatans inside the professing Church than there are in any institute on planet earth – the majority of which have disguised themselves as pastors whose vocation it is to milk and fleece the sheep for whom Christ died!!
