Pure Life Ministries Podcast Episode #584: Honest Confession Leads to Spiritual Power

#584 - Honest Confession Leads to Spiritual Power

Podcasts

This episode: Our instincts tell us to keep our sins hidden, but God's Word tells us that being honest leads to a life of power over sin.

Sexual Sin
Finding Freedom

When we sin, our first instinct is to cover it up so that we avoid any painful consequences. But God’s Word tells us that whoever conceals his sin will not prosper, and whoever confesses and forsakes them will find mercy. In other words, the worst thing we can do is keep our sin hidden. If we want to prosper, we have to live a transparent life.

The Way to Live a Victorious Life

Sermons

If you examine the life of Jesus and apply His lifestyle to your own, you will find victory in your darkest hour.

Spiritual Growth
Finding Freedom

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.

Are Addictions Caused by Childhood Problems? | Ask the Counselor

Short Videos

This interview: Children are deeply impacted by their parents' behavior. So, is a parent responsible if their child develops an addiction?

Root Issues
Sexual Sin

Some say that if you want to discover the roots of addictive behavior, you have to look at a person’s childhood, because the data shows that if a child’s father doesn’t give them the love they need, they can have real problems later in life. But does that mean that a father's failure to love causes a person to become an addict? In today’s interview, we'll discuss what the Bible teaches about why we do what we do, and how to deal with our own bad choices.

You Need to Be Filled with the Holy Spirit by Steve Gallagher on 05/22/2024

You Need to Be Filled with the Holy Spirit

Sermons

Being filled with the Holy Spirit means having a firm conviction of the wrongness of sin, of God’s goodness, and of the coming judgment.

Root Issues
Finding Freedom

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.

The worst part? These statistics are not from unbelievers—but from people professing to be followers of Jesus. This is the first episode in The Church Addicted—a series of shows where we look at how these statistics became the Church's reality.
