THE HOLINESS OF GOD: In the Likeness of His Resurrection, pt. 5

Frequent contemplation of the nature of God -- that He is absolutely holy -- is a strong deterrent against sin, because once a person truly sees how much God hates sin, and the more aware they become of their own sin, the more determined he or she is to get close to God seeking His help in the process of sanctification.  Join us for this teaching examining the holiness of God and our responsibility to respond to His command, "Be holy, for I am holy."  

PULLING DOWN IMAGINATIONS: In the Likeness of His Resurrection, pt. 4

With another verse-by-verse teaching, this time through part of Romans 8, this sermon focuses on the importance of what we allow our minds to dwell upon in learning to walk in holiness.  To quote the late Zig Ziglar, "It's really true that you are what you are and where you are because of what's gone into your mind, and can change what you are where you are by changing what goes into your mind."  This Biblical principle if one of the most important for those who wish to master overcoming besetting sins.  

OVERCOMING BESETTING SINS: In the Likeness of His Resurrection, pt. 3

Hebrews 12:2 tells us to denounce the sins that so easily beset or entangle us.  But how is that done when the sinful nature so often exerts so much energy and control over our desires?  That is the focus of this teaching as we break down Hebrews 12 and Romans 7, both of which provide some wonderful application points in winning your own personal battles over sin so you can walk in consistent victory!  

FREE FROM SIN: In the Likeness of His Resurrection, pt. 2

This teaching is a verse-by-verse deep dive into all of Romans 6, providing more scriptural evidence that we are now free from sin's mastery over us and are slaves of righteousness instead.  In addition, this teaching provides very practical ways to lead a life of holiness as God commands -- strategies for helping our new nature to overpower the old and remain in dominance.  

UNDERSTANDING REDEMPTION: The Power of His Resurrection, pt.1

Did you know that your redemption in Christ is more wonderful than you have probably understood?  The New Testament was originally penned in Greek, which is a much more expansive language than English, so there's a lot that's lost in translation.  There are actually four Greek words that are translated into English as the single word, redemption, or redeem.  This teaching will examine all four of these Greek words so we get a more thorough understanding of our redemption through Jesus' death and resurrection, and what God saved us from and then provided through that redemptive process.
