Sexual sin causes destruction in people’s lives. But the good news is that God does redeem sexual sinners! He just has to start the process by dealing heavily with our sin—something that really puts it to death. But this will produce spiritual life if we respond with repentance and faith. ⛅ ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

Christians in sexual sin have more in common with the older brother than with the prodigal son. Although the older brother remained in the father’s house, he was just as spiritually disconnected from his father as his prodigal brother. Sin always separates people from God, whether they’re in church or not. 💀 In today’s message, Steve Gallagher explains the older brother’s case, calling people to reject lifeless religion and to return to the Father. ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

Once a sinner comes to their senses and repents of their sin, they’re only at the beginning of what is going to be a long journey home to the Father. Along the way, there are many difficulties—temptations and discipline to name a few—but they all have one purpose: to keep that man on the narrow way home. In today’s sermon, Steve Gallagher explains this journey using Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son.🏃‍➡️ ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the final sermon of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at the Light of God. There are many Christians bound up in sexual sin who don’t know what’s holding them back. They try to find the answers through professional counselors, weekend seminars, teaching books, and accountability groups—but are left stuck in a cycle of sin time and time again. Little are they aware that if they simply turn to the Lord and open their whole heart to Him, He will faithfully perform a twofold work in their hearts. He will first expose what is below the surface, causing them to continue to fall. And then He will give them the power to walk out a life of righteousness! ☀️🛣️ ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 33rd message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at God’s power over death. Strong or weak, rich or poor, proud or humble—death will eventually overcome us all. But here’s the good news: God has provided the way out through a living relationship with Jesus Christ. But we must make a choice: refuse the gospel in exchange for love of the world, 💀 or repent of our sins and believe in Him. 🩸 Only when we choose God’s way, can we know Him as the victor over death in our lives. ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

Good news, Christian: You don’t have to live in defeat! Even though sin seems to be accepted in American Christianity, Romans 6–8 shows this was never God’s plan. In the final message from our recent special meetings, Dr. John Oswalt unpacks this passage to show that, for all who repent and put their faith in Jesus Christ, the truth is clear: You can live in victory! ⛓️‍💥 ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the third message from our recent special meetings, Dr. John Oswalt explores the heart behind Abraham's willingness to offer his only son to God.

Over the next four weeks we will be featuring powerful messages by renowned Old Testament scholar, Dr. John Oswalt. These sermons were delivered in a series of special meetings to the men in our Residential Program. The altars were flooded every service for four days as Dr. Oswalt preached about the power God has to cleanse us. 🙌 Dr. Oswalt currently serves at Asbury Theological Seminary as professor of Old Testament. He has authored 16 books and is a contributing translator for the New Living Translation. ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 32nd message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at God’s love for the Old Testament. The Old Testament makes up the vast majority of Scripture. Yet mostly New Testament passages form the basis for Sunday sermons across our country. Certainly the New Testament’s importance cannot be understated—but neither can the Old Testament’s. Not only does the Old Testament provide a framework for how to understand the New Testament, but it also teaches us crucial things about walking with God. 🔍 In today’s sermon, Steve Gallagher aims to give us a greater reverence and love for the Old Testament and show why it will help you find freedom and victory. 📖 ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 31st message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at the Knowledge of God. The apostle Paul knew God in a way that gave a fire to his ministry and his prayers for his spiritual children. And his desire for all the churches he established was that they would know God like he did and walk in the power of God. 🔥 Nate Danser takes a look at Paul's letter to the Colossians to unpack this knowledge in today’s message. This same knowledge was not just for the first century Christians, but for all sincere believers today. ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

Adam and Eve couldn’t have realized what devastation they would cause by listening to Satan’s deception. And in the same way for us, whenever we choose to commit sin, we have no idea what the consequences might be. But God has made a way out of this destructive path. It just requires one thing: our entire being. 💘 In this sermon from our archives, Nate Danser breaks down the biblical pattern of restoration into four points, and exhorts us to take heart as God works in our lives. ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 30th message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at God’s final words to Israel before they entered the Promised Land. God knew the difficulties Israel would face in the Promised Land: • strong enemies • idol worship • sexual temptation The odds were not in their favor. But what Israel had was guaranteed victory if they truly lived in and obeyed God’s words to them. 🙌 In today’s message, Steve Gallagher takes us through these words from Deuteronomy 6 and 7, and applies them to us today. ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 29th message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at God’s desire to be found. What if God offered you everything you ever wanted—victory, security, even ministry fruitfulness—but said He wouldn’t go with you? Would you take the deal? Moses had that chance, but he boldly refused, declaring, “If you don’t go with us, we won’t go.” 👀 But this isn’t just a story about Moses. It’s a question for all of us: Do we truly want God, or just the things He gives us? In this gripping message, Dustin Renz unpacks one of the most profound revelations of God in all of Scripture. ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 27th message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at the Discipline of God. When a sinner begins following the Lord, he will quickly discover much within him that needs to change. While we may expect that to happen instantaneously, God’s normal process is to sanctify us slowly for the rest of our lives. This is His process of discipline. ⚒️ Our progress in the spiritual life is largely dependent upon how we respond to this discipline. We can choose to submit to it, or we can disregard it. Today’s message unpacks Hebrews 12 and the love of God at work through the difficulty in our lives. ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 26th message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at what it means for God to be an ever-present Father. The Bible testifies to the fact that, when a person is born again, the gracious Father who adopted them provides them with everything they need to live the victorious Christian life. ✝️ In today’s sermon, Dustin Renz gives us four significant reminders about what God's fatherhood means for the true child of God, and also invites those who are bound in sin to enter in to this wonderful relationship. ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 25th message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at the Severity and the Mercy of God. “God hates the sin, but He loves the sinner.” While there is truth to these words, we have a propensity to make the love of God an excuse for living in habitual sin, while totally ignoring God's severity in dealing with sin. 💀 So in this week’s message, Nate Danser breaks down what sin really is in order to help us more clearly understand how God sees sin. Then, he helps us appreciate the true love and mercy of God. ⛅ ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

There has only ever been one Judas Iscariot—someone who walked alongside God in the flesh, only to betray Him to His death. Yet, the lessons from Judas’ life and where he went astray are deeply relevant to all of us. 🔍 This powerful message by Ed Buch led many to the altar in repentance during our Sunday morning service. We pray the Holy Spirit will use it to search your heart as well, exposing any areas where your devotion to Jesus may be wanting. 🙏 ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 24th message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, Steve Gallagher shares God’s pathway for victory over sexual sin. Every professing Christian who is constantly losing the battle against sexual sin has developed a distorted view of God. As a result, they question God and His ways. In today’s sermon, Steve Gallagher answers some of these questions with biblical answers to prove that God is not only trustworthy, but He is also the only source for lasting victory over sexual sin. 🙇 ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

It is a spiritual law that a life which is dominated by sin can only breed death. But it is also a spiritual law that a life dominated by righteousness can only breed life. So what hope can the habitual sinner ever have to live that kind of life? 😓 In our recent chapel service, Nate Danser & Steve Gallagher shared about how it wasn’t the American church system which enabled them to do so, but it was a radical encounter with the living God, and then an ongoing pursuit of Him. 🛣️ ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 23rd message of our "Unveiling Yahweh" series, we will be looking at God’s plans for us. We have a way of interfering with God’s plans for our lives when we make sinful choices. When we reap the negative consequences of those decisions, it’s easy to despair about the future. But even when we sin, God still has a plan to do good in each of our lives. And as Dustin Renz shares out of Jeremiah 29, if we will submit to His plan, He will work good for us, even when we are facing the worst of circumstances. 🕊️ ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

Each year after our Annual Conference, a guest speaker will share a special, conference-themed message in our Sunday chapel service.

In the 22nd message of our "Unveiling Yahweh" series, we will be looking at the Wisdom of God. Man’s wisdom and God’s wisdom couldn’t be more different from one another. We see wisdom as simply intellect, but God’s wisdom is a life of goodness and righteousness – two things which we, in our sinful state, desperately need. Thankfully, God provided the way to come into this kind of wisdom: through the Cross of Jesus Christ. 🩸 In today’s sermon, we dive deep into the wisdom of the Cross as revealed in 1 Corinthians 1. ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: 🎧 ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 21st message of our "Unveiling Yahweh" series, we look at how God redeems us. The Bible testifies to the fact that we are all sinners in need of redemption, and it also testifies to how God fulfills that need. But unfortunately there are many attending church today who, while claiming to be redeemed, still live a sinful lifestyle. ⛔ This is not God’s plan, and there is only one way to come into the true redemption God has for His people. ↩️ ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: 🎧 ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 20th message of our "Unveiling Yahweh" series, we will be looking at how God breaks the power of sin. ⛓️‍💥 Anyone who has given themselves over to sexual sin for any length of time can attest to the strong grip it possesses once given over to. But in today’s sermon, Steve Gallagher shares how the Lord has helped break the power of sin in his life through unexpected means: through trials and challenges and a constant call to submit to God's will. 🙇 ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 19th message of our "Unveiling Yahweh" series, we will be looking at the Purposes of the Lord. When we ask God what His purpose is for our lives, we’re often thinking of one thing: ourselves. But God’s purposes go far beyond what we can see – they aim at glorifying His name and working good in our lives. 🙌 In today’s sermon, Nate Danser helps unveil just how glorious God’s plans and purposes are for all of mankind. 💡 ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: 🎧 ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 18th message of our "Unveiling Yahweh" series, we will be looking at the Justice of the Lord. If you follow the biblical narrative of one of Israel’s ancient enemies, Nineveh, you will discover the sobering truth that, although at one time they received great mercy from God, they chose to reject that mercy and were ultimately destroyed by Him. ⛈️ Why was that? In today’s sermon, Dustin Renz speaks on the patience, justice and mercy of God as we examine the judgment of Nineveh recorded in Nahum 1. ⚖️ ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 17th message of our "Unveiling Yahweh" series, we will be looking at the Day of the Lord. Are you ready for the Day of the Lord? Descriptions of that day permeate the Bible. It is described in the prophetic books and is made most clear to us in the book of Revelation. ☀️ In today’s sermon, Steve Gallagher surveys these passages and challenges us to be ready for Jesus’ appearing, which is much closer than we think! 🕚 ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 16th message of our "Unveiling Yahweh" series, we will be looking at the Humility of God. The humility displayed by Jesus in His earthly life is not just something He ‘put on’ while He walked among us. It is foundational to the character of Yahweh. And when we look at the beautiful, humble way Jesus interacted with those around Him, we see how God works in our lives today. ✝️ But our hearts should also be enraptured by His lowly character. As we behold the wonder of His lowliness, it should compel us to be lowly like He is. ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 15th message of our "Unveiling Yahweh" series, we will be learning about God’s strength in our spiritual battles. The history of Israel shows us something crucial about living the Christian life. When we trust and obey the Lord, He will help us conquer our spiritual enemies. ⚔️ But when we don’t rely on Him, we are bound to continue in one failure after another. 💀 This week, Luke Imperato provides three lessons from Israel’s history to instruct us in our spiritual battles today. ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 14th message of our "Unveiling Yahweh" series, we will be learning about God’s name as “Rapha”. Pain, sickness and suffering are all part of the human condition. When we dig into what the Bible says about them, we realize that the reasons for suffering in this life are complex and diverse. However, one thing that stands out is that God wants our trials to reveal His identity as Rapha, our healer. 💖 This week, Dustin Renz shares four revelations of God’s character and His healing power. ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 13th message of our "Unveiling Yahweh" series, we will be looking at the Goodness of God. God’s goodness should impact the way we live our lives. But such a life is sadly uncommon within the church. Instead, many professing Christians are driven by selfish desires rather than godly ones. For this to change, we must encounter God’s goodness in our hearts. 💘 So in this week’s sermon, Steve Gallagher looks at Galatians 6 to explain how God’s goodness can make an impact on our hearts and lives. ✝️ ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 12th message of our "Unveiling Yahweh" series, we will be looking at the Righteousness of God. In Psalm 119, David wrote, “in Your righteousness give me life!” What did he see about God’s righteousness that caused this desperate cry? 🔍 In today’s sermon, we not only learn about what God’s righteousness is, but take a special look at it in God’s law, learning about the effect it should have on us and the cry it should produce in our hearts. ❤️‍🔥 ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 11th message of our "Unveiling Yahweh" series, we will learn about the benefits of having Yahweh as our Shepherd. Psalm 23 is one of the most beloved psalms of the Bible. Yet many Christians who know it by heart live lives which refuse to treat God like He really is their shepherd. 😓 It’s no wonder then that addictions are common in churches, and worldliness abounds even among pastors and leaders. In today’s sermon, Nate Danser expounds on 3 lines from this beloved psalm to help us see what our life should look like when Yahweh is our Shepherd. 🐑 ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 10th message of our "Unveiling Yahweh" series, we will learn how to truly claim Yahweh as our portion. Everyone spends their lives trying to fulfill their perceived needs, whether it’s the need for security, intimacy, pleasure, or anything else. But Psalm 16 reveals something very important about our Creator: that He is the true fulfillment we all truly need. 💘 Unfortunately, most in the church still seek to fulfill their needs just like the world does: apart from God. In today’s message, Nate Danser looks at Psalm 16, and how it reveals how God is the ultimate portion for our souls. 📖 ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 9th message of our "Unveiling Yahweh" series, we will be looking at God as a giver. Our fallen nature makes us quick to malign God’s character. When life doesn’t give us what we want, we call God a killjoy. If providence steals a cherished person or possession from us, we see Him a taker. 🙅 But these lies couldn’t be further from the truth. God is full of goodness. He desires to lavish His children with blessing. God is always a good giver. 🙌 In this message, Ed Buch helps us see the amazingly good gifts of God, and the many forms they can take in our lives. ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 8th message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be learning about God's name as "Jireh." This week, Dustin Renz walks through Genesis 22: God’s testing of Abraham. 🗡️ Through this narrative, we see Abraham’s strong faith that God would be true to His covenant.

In the 7th message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be learning about the Voice of God. The way God speaks to us has become a divisive topic due to misuse in some circles.

In the 6th message of our "Unveiling Yahweh" series, we will be looking at the Wrath of God. This attribute of God, perhaps more than any other, can be hard to swallow. Many Christians choose to deemphasize the reality of God’s wrath and overemphasize His love and mercy. Yet the truth is that God’s wrath and His mercy are displayed with equal importance and clarity in Scripture.❤️‍🔥Both are part of who He is, and both are needful for us to know if we are to walk rightly before Him. ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 5th message of our Unveiling Yahweh series, we will be looking at the Faithfulness of God. Our lives can be full of circumstances and people which will let us down. This is inevitable in a fallen world. But God, who is not like us, is good, unchanging and perfect. He is a Being fully worthy of our trust, because His character, and His track record, prove that He is faithful. ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/

In the 4th message of our Unveiling Yahweh series, we will be looking at the Mercy of God. This week, Dustin Renz turns to the Old Testament to look at the mercy at work during a pivotal time in the prophet Elijah’s life. We hope this unique look at a familiar biblical account brings you a fresh sight of how God loves to pour out mercy into our lives. 🌊 ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 2nd message of our Unveiling Yahweh series, we will be looking at the Patience of God. Throughout history God has displayed His patience towards mankind again and again. When a person or a nation sins, He does not always display His judgment immediately. Instead, He often holds back for a time. ⌛ And sometimes that can be decades or even centuries. Why does He wait? What is the reason for such extravagant patience? Today in our latest sermon series, "Unveiling Yahweh," Luke Imperato unpacks God’s patience and reveals its intended purpose for us. ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In the 1st message of our Unveiling Yahweh series, we will be looking at what it means to know God. Eternal life comes from an intimate relationship with the Lord. 🙇 But since The Fall, mankind has lost that intimacy and developed wrong views of God and His character. This has caused a host of pain, suffering and sin, as we see all around us each day.💔 The solution each of us needs to find peace and freedom is to return to a true, intimate knowledge of God.

The love of Christ for us is one of the most powerful motivations we have for leading a holy life.❤️‍🔥Yet love, for many Christians, has been shaped by our culture and is often based on superficial characteristics or fleeting feelings.💨That kind of love can quickly dissolve and change. So to experience a love for Christ that will truly control our actions, we must understand what Christ’s love for us truly means, and the kind of effect it should have in our lives. ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

The message of Christ’s death, resurrection and second coming is powerful!💥It has cost missionaries to give their lives, and even sell themselves into slavery, to spread the good news! It elicits praise from the church below and the saints and angels above.🙌And Christ's accomplishments should have a profound impact on our lives as well.

When Jesus gave the Great Commission, He was describing a kind of lifestyle all believers should have. But many American Christians are stuck in lifestyles of sin and self. ⛓️ Why is this?

Days after Peter denied Jesus three times, the Lord chose to meet him in a very personal and profound way.

There are many who profess to believe in Jesus and His resurrection power, yet their lives make it seem like He never rose from the dead. 😞 What is keeping them from living in the power of God?

The resurrection of Christ is more than an historical fact.

Most Americans believe they will go to Heaven when they die. Yet Jesus Himself said that on Judgment Day, He would reject many who professed to know Him. ⛔ So how can a person know whether or not they are in right standing with God? Steve Gallagher shares on this today in “The Word of the Cross”, and what it means to truly enter in, and live out, the Christian life. ✝️ ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In Jesus’ final hours, He was put on trial before Herod Antipas and Pontius Pilate. As we learn in today’s sermon, these interactions shed light on different ways we may resist God’s will in our lives. 😓 Along with Luke 23:1-12, please consider reviewing Matthew 27:11-14, Mark 15:1-5, John 18:28-38 and Psalms 1-2 to get the fuller context for today’s message. ✝️ ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

How did Judas end up in a place where he could betray the Son of God? While we don’t know anything about Judas’ life from before he met Jesus, the Bible does give us glimpses into the kind of character he exhibited during the years he followed Jesus. And as we examine this time in his life, we find subtle ways he left doors open to the enemy. It was these “open doors” which allowed Satan to eventually have his way in Judas’ life. ------ Check out the rest of our sermons: 👀 ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/YizKM0m2Nmc ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

Self-confidence is highly praised in our culture. But it was the apostle Peter’s belief in self that led to his greatest failure. He boldly proclaimed he would die for his Lord, yet ended up denying Jesus three times. This is recorded in the Bible, not to shame Peter, but to teach us hard truths about the pathway of self-denial. Join Steve Gallagher as he expounds on this topic in this week’s message. ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

There are times in our lives when God seems to be silent. During these seasons, we must not lose heart for God is trying to increase our faith. In this week’s sermon, Nate Danser explains God’s purpose in His silence, and shows us the right ways we can respond to it. ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

Jesus was shockingly calm and merciful when He was betrayed and arrested. This confidence and power did not come by chance. It was established by His lifestyle, and struggling Christians must establish this same lifestyle to begin living victoriously in trials and temptations. This week, Luke Imperato breaks down four aspects of Jesus’ victorious lifestyle and how they can help a man battling sexual sin.

Jesus didn’t promise that the Christian life would be easy. In fact, He promised that trials would come. But He also showed us a way to go through suffering triumphantly, and demonstrated this in the Garden of Gethsemane. If you are in a season of trial or suffering, we hope this sermon will strengthen and encourage you.

Are you weary and troubled by the consequences of sin and of a selfish lifestyle? Are you having a hard time believing that Jesus can set you free or keep you free? In today’s sermon, Dustin Renz goes through John 17 to explain who Jesus really is and what He does for those who believe in Him. We pray that this sermon inspires you to have faith in Jesus in the midst of your battles.

In Scripture, we see the same pattern repeating in many different stories. Someone is spiritually dead, which lands them in a dangerous situation. This threat leads them to cry out for deliverance. And when someone sincerely lets out that cry, God always answers. The Holy Spirit is that answer. This week, Steve Gallagher shares about why we must be filled with the Holy Spirit, and why many don’t see their need for His infilling.

When Christ returns, some will respond with indescribable joy while others will hide themselves in unprecedented terror. Our decisions today determine our response on that day. Are we letting Him refine us in our daily lives, or are we insisting on having our own way? Reverend Dave Leopold highlights key moments in Peter’s life to show us how to allow God to work in our daily lives.

Jesus’ statements in John 15 about “abiding” are a common source of comfort for Christians today. But that wasn't their only intended purpose when Jesus spoke them to His disciples. In context, they also represent a call to action for all true believers; a call to be kept from our destructive natures by yielding ourselves to the true spiritual life that is in Jesus.

Whenever Jesus used the phrase, “I am,” He was purposely identifying Himself with God. And when He said that He was “the way,” He was giving us one way of understanding the power and manner of His work for mankind. And in this sermon, Pure Life Residential Program Director, Luke Imperato, connects these great statements about Jesus to the great need of the man or woman struggling with pornography addiction and other forms of sexual sin.

Tens of thousands of Christians take communion every week, yet many fail to see the true beauty of this ancient practice. What about you? As you listen to today’s message by Dustin Renz, we hope you will be challenged to consider the true wonder and significance of communion.

As Jesus’ time with His disciples was ending, He did the last thing they expected: He humiliated Himself by washing their feet, even of the traitor, Judas. Have you experienced the love of Jesus like this? We hope this message helps you come into a true sight of the Savior’s love.

Judas Iscariot is infamous for betraying Jesus Christ. But how could a man who walked with God for 3.5 years get to the place where he would willingly betray the Messiah? Steve Gallagher explores the heart-issues at work in Judas and warns us not to succumb to that same fatal logic.

It’s easy for people who are repenting of sin to focus on what they shouldn’t do. But just as important as putting off wrong behavior is to begin walking in Christlike virtues. If no effort is made to put on this new nature, then we’re at risk of becoming a “do-nothing Christian.”

Matthew 24 contains many confusing and controversial statements about the end times. This week, Nate Danser helps us see what Jesus’ words in this passage mean for us today, and what vital commands we must know about the last days.

In Matthew 23, we come to the climax of the confrontation between the Pharisees and the Messiah. From Jesus’ powerfully strong rebukes in this passage, we gain key insights into the kind of devilish spirit that will keep us from a genuine faith which is pleasing to the Lord.

What would you ask Jesus if He were standing in front of you? Both the disciples, and the religious leaders of Israel had such an opportunity, but often what they asked Jesus were mixed with selfishness or even malintent. Yet without fail, Jesus answered the questions of all who came to Him with perfect wisdom, compassion and truth. In today’s message, Dustin Renz brings us into a Q&A session between Jesus and the men of His day and encourages us to find answers to the questions in our lives from what He had to say to them.

Those who desire to be free from sexual addiction often try many different remedies to break free. But despite all their effort, many often remain trapped and hopeless in their sin. Why is this? Often, what is missing is a real knowledge of the power of God. If you desire a greater manifestation of God’s power in your life, then we pray that you find today’s message challenging & encouraging.

In this special Pure Life Chapel Service, four members of our leadership team spoke about God's goodness and His authority. It's vital for those bound in sexual addiction to come under God's authority, and to see it rightly, in order to have real power over their sin. We hope that this series of short talks blesses you and helps you see the beauty of God's authority in our lives.

God has laid out a path which leads to real and abundant life. That road begins at the Cross, the place most of us naturally try to avoid. Yet when Jesus saw the Cross before Him, He welcomed it, seeing the glory on the other side. In today’s message, we get a glimpse of the vision Jesus had, and see the high calling for every Christian to pick up their own cross and follow their Master.

Matthew 21 recounts Jesus’ dramatic actions in the Jewish temple, followed by a peculiar narrative where He curses a fig tree. But these two actions, seemingly out of character for Christ’s behavior on earth, reveal God’s deep desire to purify His people so that they may worship Him rightly!

Every year around Easter you’ll probably hear a message focused on the Triumphal Entry of Jesus. But why is this account so important? What are we supposed to see about our long-awaited Messiah amidst the chaos and the celebration? Join us as we take a deeper look at the miracle of the Triumphal Entry in this week’s sermon.

There are many people who profess to follow Christ whose lifestyles contradict their faith. Rather than submit to God’s law, their own desires define their daily life. This is why a significant percentage of professing Christians are bound by sexual addiction. In today’s message, Pure Life Ministries founder, Steve Gallagher, explains God’s solution to this epidemic: a true conversion and full surrender to God.

Someone who has repented of sexual sin faces a lot of opposition from the world, the flesh, and the devil. In many ways, the odds are stacked against them. But what settles our victory is that God is with us! We hope this sermon helps you understand this wonderful truth. Scripture taken from the New King James Version®.
