The Flesh Is Willing

Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Nov 21, 2019

Wait… the title of this story is “The Flesh is Willing”, yet this scripture claims it is weak… and it was Jesus who actually said it… so, that must be right! See… the flesh is very willing to do things, to get involved, to perform or get into action… to a fault.

Sermon # 40 - No Longer A Slave Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 30, 2025

You are God's children, and you will receive everything he promised his children.” (ERV) As Paul addressed the believers in the church at Galatia, he reminded them that they were no longer slaves. He prompted ...read more
