     | 5,683 views

    We win our battles against our compulsion to sin when we depend on the Holy Spirit. We must live by the Spirit to conquer fleshly desires, be led by the Spirit to conquer fleshly deeds, and walk with the Spirit to enjoy the death of the flesh.

    Freedom’s Fruit (Galatians 5:16-26) Jo Guerrero’s five-year-old daughter, Barbara, had disobeyed her mother and had been sent to her room. After a few minutes, Jo (the mom) went in to talk with her about what she had done. Teary-eyed, the little girl asked, “Why do we do wrong things, Mommy?” ...read more

    The third in a series of messages on the complete sufficiency of the Gospel.

    Third in a series from Ephesians. Jesus Christ has paid the price to redeem us from slavery to sin.

    For some reason, somebody decided to share this observation from George Burns with me this week: The secret to a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending; and to have the two as close together as possible.

    Contributed by Larry Wilson on Sep 12, 2011
     | 6,492 views

    In Sermon 4 of the series, PAUSE Before You Act, we admonish the believer to see if what he or she is about to do violates God’s commands. I.e., am I about to commit a sin in my response to a situation?

    Please note that, while this sermon may be preached in stand-alone fashion, it is part of a series. You may wish to take a look at the first three sermons. Especially helpful would be sermon one which lays the foundation. Also, there is a companion sermon called THINK Before You Speak. IV. S – ...read more
