Works of the Flesh, Part 3

July 10, 2015
Jesus said in His sermon on the mount, "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light." It's amazing how our mind is easily corrupted when evil images get in.  These images imprint and affect our hearts. The flesh is an enemy that the Christian must deal with in order to survivie. Thankfully we are not alone, because we have the Holy Spirit to aid us in our war against the Works of the Flesh.
References: Galatians 5:19-21

The 16th century mathematician Charles Bovillus said, "Many wild beasts lie lurking under the skin of man." This statement seen in light of Galatians 5 is spot on. The flesh is a terrible enemy that has a ferocious appetite.  It's very important for the Christian to understand their enemy. Pastor Jeff is in a series dealing with this very thing, as the Apostle Paul tried to save the Galatians from going after legalism and carnal desires.

Today, we begin a new series in Galatians 5 called, Works of the Flesh. The Bible tells us that the Christian has three enemies...the world, the flesh, and the devil. If the flesh is given certain liberties, it will try and take control and rule you. So how does one wage a successful battle against the flesh? Find out next on Sound Doctrine Radio.

The world today thinks they have love and freedom. But the worlds love is selfish, and creates bondage to sin. What the world needs is love, not like the love from the old hit song from the 60’s, but God's Agape Love. God's love is selfless and never runs out. He offers it freely to all those who would believe. Join Pastor Jeff in the book of Galatians 5 for the conclusion of Loving and Walking in Liberty.

There are many who come to church and read their bibles, although these things are right, we still need a new heart. The Lord wants to give each of us, a heart of tenderness and love.

Love and Liberty go hand in hand in God's kingdom. But how do these two function together? Well God revealed His love to us through the person of Jesus Christ. He is our model of how we are to lead our lives. Jesus fulfilled the whole law and commands us to walk in His commandment, which is love. Join Pastor Jeff for part 1 of Loving and Walking in Liberty.

James 3 says, “My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.” And Revelation 22:19 says, If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the book of Life.” These verses are both sobering and alarming. God is paying close attention to the things being taught in the pulpit. The Apostle Paul had to confront those who distorted Gods truth. Today Pastor Jeff concludes his message titled, Confronting Legalism.
July 2, 2015
The Protestant theologian Frances Schaeffer is quoted saying, “The Truth demands confrontation; loving confrontation, but confrontation nevertheless.” The Apostle Paul is confronting the legalism that has infiltrated the regional churches of Galatia. He is fighting against those who would pervert the Gospel of Grace with the works of the Law. Pastor Jeff is in Galatians 5 with the second half of Confronting Legalism.

Confrontations are never comfortable situations. Most of us try our best to stay out of them. But there are times when confrontation is necessary. Pastor Jeff is in Galatians 5 and is giving the reasons for Paul’s confrontation. Paul is not doing this for his own personal gain but for the benefit of the church at large. Join us as we begin a new series titled, Confronting Legalism.

When someone makes a promise to you, do you find it difficult to believe them? Is it because belief means to trust? There are many that don’t want to believe in God because they have trust issues. Because of Christ’s sacrifice, we can have full trust in the promises of God, with any situation that comes into our lives. Join Pastor Jeff for the second half and conclusion of Walk in Liberty.
June 29, 2015
