Steve Gallagher warns us to keep watch for signs of backsliding in our lives.
Stop excusing sin. This week we expose the lies that keep you stuck—and the truth that leads to freedom. Watch now.
God wants us to lift our gaze from this temporal life and look towards life in His eternal Kingdom.
When the Word of God confronts us, it’s easy for us to resist the truth we’re hearing. Often this comes from one simple thing: we are focused on our life in this world and on what the world has to offer. But in Luke 12, Jesus pulls back the veil on this life and exposes the emptiness of it. And as Nate shows us in this message, what we have to gain by forsaking life in this world is incomparably more valuable.
Dr. John Oswalt is back with us for the second part of our discussion about holiness.
When God says, "Be holy, for I am holy," it's like He's saying, "Become like Me." Wait, seriously? God is telling fallen human beings to become like Him? Dr. John Oswalt is back with us for the second part of our discussion about holiness.
God told His people, "You must be holy, for I am holy." But what exactly is holiness? And how do we, fallen humans, become holy?
After God delivered the Israelite's from slavery in Egypt, He said to them, “I am Yahweh your God. Sanctify yourselves, therefore, and be holy; for I am holy." These are solemn words applicable to every professing believer. But what exactly is holiness? And how do we, mere humans, become holy? In this episode of Purity for Life, Dr. John Oswalt joins us to answer these questions, and more!
If we will faithfully do our part, God will be faithful to fill us with His divine power and glorious nature!
Wouldn't it be wonderful to be filled with God's own life and glory? Well, the good news is that if we do our part, God will fill us! In the last episode of our series "A Firm Foundation" we'll talk about what we must do to experience the reality of God’s life and power.
We must ensure that our love for God does not get replaced by a religious system that keeps Him out of our hearts.
As Jesus’ earthly ministry grew in prominence, His standing in the minds of the religious leaders worsened. They resisted His criticisms of their religious system, believing their views to be right, and His to be wrong. In Luke 11, we read of the climax of this contest when Jesus sternly and openly rebuked the Scribes and Pharisees of Israel. Luke Imperato, Director of Residential Counseling, helps us to see the core problems with the religious system of Jesus’ day, and warns us not to let those same faults infect our walk with the Lord.
In this "Story of Hope", you'll hear about how a couple went from utter hopelessness to seeing the Lord make all things new!
In today's episode we'll dive into the powerful story of how a couple went from utter hopelessness to seeing the Lord make all things new.
The whole purpose of having a prayer life is to focus on who God is as our Father.
When Jesus taught His disciples how to pray, He began with the remarkable statement that God is “Our Father.” Now while Israel had addressed God as “Father” in previous generations, Jesus was establishing a foundation of intimacy with God that was unprecedented in that time. Even today, many believers can walk away from this vital element of their prayer lives. But in this week’s message, Dustin Renz calls us to seek this kind of intimacy with our Heavenly Father.
If we will faithfully do our part, God will be faithful to fill us with His divine power and glorious nature!

The key to victory is learning to "walk by the Spirit." Join us for Part 2 of our discussion on Galatians.
If you’re a true believer, you know that Christianity is war. And the war can be incredibly fierce at times, but don’t lose heart, because God has shown us how to win. In Galatians 5, Paul says, “Walk by the spirit, and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.” That’s the key to victory.
The Lord wants to bring you into a lifestyle where your affections are completely taken up with Him.
One day Jesus visited the home of two sisters, Martha and Mary. Each woman responded quite differently to the presence of the Lord. Martha worked busily to tend to the needs of Jesus and His disciples, while Mary simply sat in the Lord’s presence. Many sermons have expressed the difference between a Mary and a Martha heart, but few do so in a way that connects this dichotomy with sexual addiction. Join us as Pastor Steve Gallagher explores the difference between Mary and Martha in a different light, showing us the one necessary thing we must have if we are to walk in victory over sexual sin.
