“They pushed God as far as they could to see how much they could get away with, and they serve as an example for us.” Paul’s encouragement with regard to temptation is used by Bro. Jeff to encourage us today.
In his intent to destroy us, how does Satan seduce our “fleshly” desires? How does the Holy Spirit help protect us from the devices of the devil? Bro. Jeff details spiritual disease and describes the remedy.
Using strawberry preserves as an analogy, Bro. Jeff shows us the Biblical definition, measure, motive and means of holiness in our lives. Our Heavenly Father wants us to look less like Adam and more like Jesus.
Perfection is the goal! In what areas do we need to grow toward God’s perfection? What are the enemies of that growth? Bro. Jeff claims to be “meddling,” but some truths bear saying.
“Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” Continuing with key words of winning for God, Bro. Jeff takes tonight’s word “direction” and describes the path of the believer, what it is, what it isn’t.
Tonight, Bro. Jeff takes us on a trip to the graveyard with a list of what the Bible indicates needs to be buried and never dug back up.
If you’ve been made new and alive, why would you want to hang on to the old and dead? Paul tells us that believers still battle with our sinful nature; Bro. Jeff explains how allowing the Holy Spirit to control pleases God and avoids misery and destruction.
Temperance is more than self-control. We’re learning about this fruit of the Spirit, including some key words that provide understanding and instruction on how this fruit grows in the life of a Christian. Previously, Bro. Jeff discussed “danger” and “deprive.” Learn about the third key word “death” and the Bible’s hit list.
There are two ways of living: in the flesh with the consequences of misery, or in the Spirit where we can enjoy peace. Some Bibles translate the ninth fruit of the Spirit as “self-control,” but Bro. Jeff explains how “temperance” is much more.
