A re-post of Dr. Tony Evans message in 1 Kings 17: 8-16 on Unbound, Releasing God's Provision

The Christian life will have its share of temptations. That’s because when a person trusts Christ as Lord and Savior, his or her spirit is regenerated but not the flesh. The flesh is constantly at war with the spirit so that the spirit wants to please God, but the flesh wants to please self. In Romans 6-8, Paul gives us a few directives about how to get victory over sin and temptation. 00:00 - Getting Victory over Sin 16:44 - 1) KNOW and rely on the fact that on the day you trusted Christ as Savior, your old SELF died (was rendered powerless) when Christ died. 22:14 - 2) CONCLUDE that you are indeed dead to sin, but alive in Christ. 29:06 - 3) DO NOT let sin DOMINATE, but instead DEDICATE yourself, and every part of your body, completely to God.

Dr. Evans continues in 1 Samuel 17:1-47 on Unbound, Releasing God's Protection

March 3, 2024 When Adam and Eve sinned against God in the Garden of Eden by eating from the one tree that God had warned them not to eat, the human race became tainted. The genetic code of the human soul became permanently altered, and thus all of the descendants of Adam inherited the same sinful nature. That’s why Paul says in Romans 3:23 that “all have sinned”, and why David said in Psalm 51:5 that he was sinful from conception. But in Romans 5, Paul teaches us that what the first Adam ruined in the Garden, the “last Adam” (Jesus) redeemed on the cross! Paul contrasts the two lives of Adam and Jesus to help us understand that Jesus came as a cure to the sin problem that we all have. 00:00 - What Adam Ruined, Jesus Redeemed 06:57 - 1 Corinthians 15:22;45-49 09:05 - The word “man” in Hebrew is “Adam” 09:36 - Hb. “Adam” means “red or ruddy”…as in clay because Adam was formed from dirt. 21:57 - Romans 5 contrast between Adam and Jesus 22:04 - Through Adam, ALL became sinners (v.12) , Through Jesus, ANY can be made righteous (v.17) 22:43 - Judgment followed bringing condemnation (v.18a), The “gift” followed bringing justification (v.18b) 24:17 - One man’s disobedience made many sinners (v.19a), One man’s obedience will make many righteous (v.19b) 24:42 - Sin increased, reigning in death(v.20-21), Grace increased much more, reigning in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (v.20-21)

Sermon preached on June 15, 1997 If you allow a seed of bitterness, envy, or unforgiveness to grow in your heart, you are silencing God's voice in your life. Without God's presence, we cannot know the Lord's comfort and strength. In this sermon, David Wilkerson examines the lives of King Saul and David to show what is necessary for believers to encourage and strengthen ourselves in the Lord. King Saul had once been anointed by God, but he indulged sin that closed him off from spiritual encouragement. By contrast, David constantly turned back to God so that his heart was always open to receive the Lord's resources.

There are a lot of people in the world who have no hope—overwhelmed with grief, or pain, or sorrow, or anxiety—regretting the past, uncertain about the present, or worrying about the future. But God offers us a HOPE that the world does not have. In Romans 5, Paul tells us that there is a path toward hope that begins with suffering, and includes perseverance and character. Pastor Gary explains each of these steps toward HOPE in today’s study from Romans 5.

The world says, “Man is basically good.” But God’s Word says, “Man is basically bad and in need of a Savior!” Since man is guilty before God and deserves punishment, the question is—How can we be made right with God? Paul answers that question from three different angles. Join Pastor Gary as he teaches through Romans 3-4 to unpack what the Lord says through Paul in today’s study, “And Now, the Good News!”

Dr. Evans continues in Isaiah 58:6-12 on "Unbound, Releasing God's Blessing"

Some people are self-righteous and they judge everyone else by their own standard. Some people are overrighteous and they pride themselves in being better than everyone else. But both are sinful before God. In fact, ALL of us are “guilty as charged.” Paul makes the case that no one has an excuse for denying or disobeying God because He has revealed Himself through CREATION, CONSCIENCE, and COMMANDMENTS. But the good news is—God sent Jesus to save us from our sins! Join Pastor Gary as he takes us through Romans 2.

Sermon preached on January 28, 2024 In "The Last of the Last Days," Pastor Carter Conlon emphasizes the inadequacy of human attempts to imitate God's power, urging listeners to heed the signs of the end times, yield to the voice of God, and recognize that only He has the ability to bring true life in a world marked by depravity and impending Judgment.

Pastor Chris Morante - Evangel Church - When We Pray We Harmonize With Heaven - Trusting God = Free From Anxiety Excerpt

Sermon preached by Pastor Chris Morante at Evangel Scotch Plains, NJ on January 21, 2024

Sermon preached on Sunday, January 21, 2024 - Dr. Evans continues in Hebrews 4:14-15

Sermon from 1/14/2024 - What does a culture of any nation look like when it excludes God? Take a look around at American culture right now. It looks like that! Even though Paul wrote Romans 1 in the first century A.D., what he describes then is just as apparent now. When man removes God from the equation, man resorts to his base nature, and our base nature is pretty perverse. In today’s teaching, Pastor Gary deals with the sexual identity crisis, homosexuality, and the craziness of our culture with the hope that all will come to know the grace, forgiveness, and wholeness that is found through Jesus Christ.

There is one aspect of the Tribulation time period that will be like hell on earth for those alive to experience it. Why would any rational person reject Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and be forced to endure what is coming? Website: https://soulchoiceministries.org/

November 13, 2023 - There are seasons when all of us may go through dark times. The emotional weight can be so heavy that it leaves us feeling hopeless. Today, Pastor Gary draws on a story from Acts 27 to bring hope to the hopeless, whatever the situation might be. Hope is like oxygen—with it we thrive; without it we can die. But God is the God of hope and comfort who will help us in our time of need. Listen as Pastor Gary shares six principles from Acts 27 to help us have God’s hope.

April 26, 2009 - It is so important for Christians to be fully persuaded of what they believe. We must be fixed on the fact that nothing can separate us from the love of God, and that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. It is time for the Church of Jesus Christ to rise up and pray in the power of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit is the revealer of truth. He makes the truth of God's Word go from our head into our heart. Through the fires and through the floods God's people will stand in the Grace of God.
