Breaking Free From Sin

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 25, 2017

God through the Apostle Paul gives us an outline for breaking free from sin: 1) Remember who we are (dead to sin, alive in Christ), 2) Say no to temptation, and 3) Say yes to God. Dead people don't sin! With God's help, we can obey rather than sin.

Breaking Free from Sin - Romans 6:1-13 “Dear God, you’re really going to be proud of me! I haven't gossiped, lusted, or lost my temper today. I haven't been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or overindulgent. I'm very happy about that! But in a few minutes, I'm going to get out of ...read more

Breaking Free From Fear

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 21, 2022

Fear, especially the fear of death, can turn us into slaves living in bondage. The devil uses fear to rob us of our freedom and abundant life. He uses fear to seize us, take hold of us, and suck the life right out of us! But the Son sets us free!

In John 8:36 we read, “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” We all desire abundant life, but if we are held in bondage then we are not experiencing true life; and one major thing that holds us captive is “fear.” Frank Herbert, in his Dune Chronicles, says that the “fear ...read more

Psalms 23 Break Down

Contributed by Sean Dees on Mar 1, 2022

The 23 Psalm is like a comfort food. No matter how many times you have it you just can't get enough of it.

The Provision of the Shepherd: 1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. These first three verses speak of the ...read more

Breaking The First Four Seals Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 11, 2012

The events that we will see with the seals are not the end of history itself. They are events that precede the end. The seals have to be broken before the book can be opened. This is exactly what Christ had said.

Now the time has come. God’s book—the Book of Destiny, the book that spells out what is to happen in the end time—is now to be opened. We need to note that the Lamb doesn’t open the book at this point. He merely breaks open the seals. The events that we will see with the ...read more

Break Free From The Past

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 29, 2022

Paul explains true Christian behavior. The old nature is dead. We are to accept Jesus as our Savior and put on the new nature. When we let Christ in our hearts, He changes us into what we should be.

Look Up: In verses 1-4: “For ye are dead.” Simply put, we died. We should have little desire for this world and what it has to offer. Our old nature has been removed. We that have been born again are dead to sin; its dominion has been broken. Our real home is in Heaven with Jesus. -- John ...read more

ENGAGE If I were to ask you if you’re prejudiced, most of you would probably say “no”. You probably consider yourself to be a very unbiased, accepting and loving person. But the fact is that even committed disciples of Jesus have prejudices. And one of the reasons those prejudices are such a big ...read more

Cultural barriers should never stop us from spreading the gospel. Jesus died for all people, and His message must reach every tribe, language, and nation. As believers, we must be intentional in overcoming cultural prejudices, adapting our evangelistic methods, and relying on the Holy Spirit.
