Pure Life Ministries Sermons

Immersed into the Godhead

When Jesus gave the Great Commission, He was describing a kind of lifestyle all believers should have. But many American Christians are stuck in lifestyles of sin and self. Why is this? Steve Gallagher shares his thoughts in this final message in our “Come Unto Me” series.

Restoration After a Fall

Days after Peter denied Jesus three times, the Lord chose to meet him in a very personal and profound way. This encounter would set the stage for the rest of Peter’s life. For anyone who has fallen or struggled in your walk with God, we hope this message is an encouragement that the place of your greatest failure could be the place where you find God’s abundant mercy!

Don't Let Jesus Pass You By

There are many who profess to believe in Jesus and His resurrection power, yet their lives make it seem like He never rose from the dead. What is keeping them from living in the power of God? Nate Danser shares the answer in today’s sermon from Luke 24.

Life After Death

The resurrection of Christ is more than an historical fact. To the church throughout the ages, it has been a profound revelation of God’s work among men. In today’s message, Luke Imperato examines 1 Corinthians 15, and helps us see this central component of the Good News in a greater light.

The Word of the Cross

Most Americans believe they will go to Heaven when they die. Yet Jesus Himself said that on Judgment Day, He would reject many who professed to know Him. So how can a person know whether or not they are in right standing with God? Steve Gallagher shares on this today in “The Word of the Cross”, and what it means to truly enter in, and live out, the Christian life.

Why Do the Nations Rage?

In Jesus’ final hours, He was put on trial before Herod Antipas and Pontius Pilate. As we learn in today’s sermon, these interactions shed light on different ways we may resist God’s will in our lives. 
Along with Luke 23:1-12, please consider reviewing Matthew 27:11-14, Mark 15:1-5, John 18:28-38 and Psalms 1-2 to get the fuller context for today’s message.

The Danger of Open Doors

How did Judas end up in a place where he could betray the Son of God? While we don’t know anything about Judas’ life from before he met Jesus, the Bible does give us glimpses into the kind of character he exhibited during the years he followed Jesus. And as we examine this time in his life, we find subtle ways he left doors open to the enemy. It was these “open doors” which allowed Satan to eventually have his way in Judas’ life.

Failure Need Not Be Fatal

Self-confidence is highly praised in our culture. But it was the apostle Peter’s belief in self that led to his greatest failure. He boldly proclaimed he would die for his Lord, yet ended up denying Jesus three times. This is recorded in the Bible, not to shame Peter, but to teach us hard truths about the pathway of self-denial. Join Steve Gallagher as he expounds on this topic in this week’s message.

But Jesus Remained Silent

There are times in our lives when God seems to be silent. During these seasons, we must not lose heart for God is trying to increase our faith. In this week’s sermon, Nate Danser explains God’s purpose in His silence, and shows us the right ways we can respond to it.
