For the Christian there is a battle within—a battle between our spirit that wants to please the Lord, and our flesh that wants to please self. In Romans 8, Paul gives us three encouraging ways that the Holy Spirit helps us to fight the battle of the flesh and spirit: He empowers us, adopts us, and prays for us. Pastor Gary explains all this in today’s teaching, “Winning the War Within.”

In Romans 8, Paul opens and close the chapter with two important exhortations: (1) There is no condemnation and (2) There is no separation from the love of God for those who are in Christ Jesus. Too many Christians still walk around under the heavy weight of condemnation, shame, and guilt. In addition, some Christians believe the lie that God doesn’t really love them. In today’s study, Pastor Gary exposes the lies we believe from either Satan, others, or ourselves. Follow along in today’s study entitled, “No Condemnation, No Separation.”

Easter 2024 Service

Join us for our annual Passover service!

In Luke 19, Jesus sent two of His disciples to retrieve the young donkey on which He would ride for His triumphal entry into Jerusalem preceding His crucifixion. When the owners inquired as to why the disciples were taking their donkey, the disciples were to respond, "Because the Lord has need of it." The owners immediately and graciously complied. In this special Palm Sunday message from guest speaker Dr. Mark Rutland, we learn that we too can give and receive spontaneous grace, "because the Lord has need of it."

An in-depth study of 2 Samuel 23-24.

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.

An in-depth Bible study of 2 Samuel 21-22.

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.
