An excerpt from Dr. Tony Evans sermon - Unbound - Releasing God's Provision, about God being the only source. If the resource has turned into the "source", then you've created an idol.

A re-post of this sermon preached on 3/17/2024 Since Christians are under grace instead of the law, the question becomes—is the law of God pointless now? Some Christians think that! But Paul says otherwise. In Romans 7, Paul gives us three reasons why God’s law is important in the life of the Believer today. Pastor Gary unpacks Romans 7 and also helps us to understand the battle that lies within between wanting to please God and wanting to live for our own sinful pleasures. 00:00 - The Importance of God’s Law 05:28 - 1. It EXPLAINS what sin is (7:7) 11:50 - 2. It EXPOSES sin in us (7:15-23) 12:20 - Romans 7:15-23 19:37 - 3. It EXPRESSES our need for a Savior (7:24-25)

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.

Ron Kenoly performs Sing Out live at Carpenter's Home Church in Lakeland, Florida in 1995. Song is from the album “Sing Out with One Voice.”

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)
