Always Have an Answer, pt. 2

WHEN SIN CROUCHES AT YOUR DOOR: Be Holy for I am Holy, pt. 7

Sin is personified in Genesis 4:7 as having a desire to dominate you, and it crouches at your door looking for an opportunity to pounce.  But in that same verse, God says it is possible to master sin.  In this climactic teaching to the series on holiness, we discuss ways that we can dominate sin instead of being dominated by it, highlighting insights from the scriptures you may have never known or considered.  

KNOW THYSELF, KNOW THY ENEMY: Be Holy for I am Holy, pt. 6

In the art of war an army must know it's own strengths and weaknesses and also that of its enemy.  In our own battle against sin it's no different.  We have a spiritual enemy that opposes us, and we also have our own sinful tendencies we have to guard against.  If we learn the tactics of the enemy and also recognize our own weaknesses, then we can begin to win in our battle for holiness more than we lose.  This teaching will both inspire and equip you to do just that.  

RELIANCE AND RESPONSIBILITY: Be Holy for I am Holy, pt. 5

There has been much confusion in the Body of Christ in recent years about what we must rely on God to do in the process of making us more Christ-like and what we must do ourselves.  Often we feel like holiness just isn't attainable because we fail to rely on the empowering grace of God. But often we err in the other direction and fail to take personal responsibility for developing ourselves in the life of holiness.  The reality is we need both: a reliance on God and an understanding of our own responsibility, and this teaching will help you understand the difference and how to walk them out in practical application.  

HOW YOUR HOLINESS AFFECTS OTHER PEOPLE: Be Holy for I am Holy, pt. 4

Did you know the Bible teaches that we are to live in such a way as to avoid even the APPEARANCE of evil?  That's right.  It tells us that we should not only avoid outright evil, but even the appearance or perception of it, even if the act itself is innocent.  Based on the 14th chapter of Romans, this teaching illuminates the true standard of holiness we should be striving for, one that concerns itself with the welfare of others.   

DELIVERED FROM THE CURSE OF COMPARISON: Be Holy, pt. 3

In our quest for holiness, we must get delivered from the curse of comparison -- comparing ourselves to other people, that is.  People who are trapped in the bondage of comparison run the risk of either falling into the ditch of pride or going off the ditch on the other side into self-defeat and discouragement.  This teaching will help you to get free from that mindset and discover the focus of true holiness, one that results in freedom from comparison and allowing for a joy-filled pursuit of God.
