Can we really expect to walk in daily victory over our sins? We know from experience that, left to ourselves, we will fail. In this message, Jim Lewis explores Romans 6 to show us that real freedom from sin is provided in the cross of Jesus. His cross kills the power of sin in our lives. This victory is not a characteristic we posses or a skill we practice. The only way to victory is the hope that Christ's power indwells and strengthens us. We owe our entire lives to the death of Christ, and we may receive and apply His victory through faith, repentance and brokenness.
The book of Revelation is just what its title says it is—a "Revelation of Jesus Christ." But instead of focusing on the glorified and victorious Lord, many people just get lost in the book's end-times prophecies.

The living God longs to reveal his mercy to us. But as Nate Danser challenges us in this message, if we want to discover who God really is, we will have to take a serious look at our priorities.

In Romans 3:21-26, Paul begins to proclaim the great salvation that God has accomplished for us in Christ. In his message, Jim Lewis walks us through this passage, explaining the many terms Paul employs to describe our salvation, such as justification, redemption and expiation, calling us to embrace this salvation through trust in and absolute dependence upon Christ.
As a Father, God has a deep and devoted love for His children which compels Him to shower them with blessings. One of these blessings is discipline and correction so that they will become more like Christ. In this message, Nate Danser offers some thoughts about why God's children need this discipline, and how they can properly respond to it.
No one can follow Jesus who does not deny himself. Jesus said that those who wish to follow him must hate their own lives, even be willing to leave behind mother and father.

In this message, Jim Lewis explores a brief but powerful passage in Romans 13. Here Paul instructs Christians about our need to be awake from spiritual sleep and to live sober, godly lives in these final days, as we approach eternity and await the Second Coming of the Lord.
