    That was great scripture but I want to point out to you verse 26: “that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.” I want to preach to you for just a few minutes on being taken captive by the devi

     | 4,542 views

    Jesus wasn’t focusing on outward performance like going to church, giving, or serving. His concern was to mark out how a disciple should be on the inside.

    When’s the last time you heard someone say, “If you want to succeed in life, try being meek?” Or, “If you want to rise to the top and get somewhere in life, display meekness along the way?” Unfortunately, meekness isn’t a valued quality in our day. The ...read more

    Walk In The Spirit

    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,127 views

    Living by the dictates of the flesh are only going to get us to death row. If and when our lives are dictated by Christ, it becomes evident to all that we are walking in the Spirit. Are you?

    Opening Illustration: A radical change is expected and required when a person comes to faith in Jesus Christ. When no change becomes apparent, we begin to wonder if there has been a genuine conversion or if the one who was truly saved understands God’s Word concerning sanctification and ...read more

    Paul offers us an answer to this question by his approach to the law.

    Living Life to the Fullest Romans 7:1-6 * In December 2007, the Gallup organization took a survey which revealed 8 in 10 Americans were (are) satisfied with their lives.

    Shall We Live Any Longer In The Sin? Series

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Oct 4, 2004
    based on 25 ratings
     | 3,559 views

    This series is based on A. M. Hills book "Holiness in the Book of Romans."

    In 5:20, Paul said, “Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more.” It would seem that we should sin as much as possible to get as much grace as possible. There is some logic to that, and that is a great temptation for Christians. Read Romans 6. Paul covers a lot of ground in this chapter. ...read more
