Experiencing the Holiness of God | Isaiah 6
In Isaiah 6, God’s prophet Isaiah sees an astonishing vision of heaven and God’s magnificence. When Isaiah encounters the Lord, he cannot help but see his own sin and weakness – his faults fully exposed. It is no different for us today.
In God’s presence, there is no room for comparison or way to hide… but even where sin is great, grace is greater still!
Pastor James has a special message leading into and out of this weekend teaching – join us as we encounter God in His Word and turn to Him in repentance and faith.
How To Remember The Lord | Various Scriptures
Freedom From Guilt | Psalms 51 | Finally Free
Do you ever fear you’re not good enough? Maybe you feel the shame of your mistakes or question God’s love because of your sins. Maybe you feel religious shame, because you haven’t followed all the ‘rules’.
What are we to do with guilt and shame?
Let’s learn from the pages of Scripture about the Holy Spirit’s work in our conscience – leading us not to more guilt, but to repentance, freedom and a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
Open your Bible to Psalm 51 and get ready to find Freedom from Guilt…
Freedom From Religion | Finally Free | Luke 11
What is the one thing Jesus Christ got into a fight with, consistently?
Religion.
No fists were thrown – but whips were cracked and tables were flipped over. Jesus’ indignation was altogether righteous.
The problem with “religion” is it captures many good people into external focuses, forms without function, destructive pride, and manmade rules.
Religion is far from the gospel and a personal, sincere relationship with the Savior.
Prepare your heart for “Freedom From Religion” as we dig into Luke 11.
The Cost of Unforgiveness
The truth? Holding onto anger, bitterness and hurt will slowly destroy your life. Living with unforgiveness in your heart hurts your walk with God, your relationships with others, and your own emotional health.
Unforgiveness produces damaging emotion and damaging emotions must be displaced by forgiveness. Unforgiveness is the refusal to release someone free from the obligation that resulted when they injured you. So often, behind the things we struggle with is unresolved hurt. To experience the freedom Christ offered in increasing measure, we must learn to live with forgiveness.
Open God’s Word to Ephesians 4 to recognize “The Cost of Unforgiveness”. Be sure to stay to the end, as we will also learn about the blessing of forgiveness!
Our ministry has been growing and serving men who are stuck in addictions. At the Act Like Men House, we’ve been guiding men at the rock bottom of addiction toward lasting freedom, through faith in Christ and community with brothers in Christ. This message was preached at our ministry center, Rock Bottom, and is for you and your loved ones who need victory and freedom from your shame and burdens.
Intellectual knowledge of Christ, rules, structure, and sheer will-power alone can never set people free. Only Jesus Christ can truly set people free. The God who made you wants to free you from sin, addiction and shame.
This new teaching series, Finally Free, will give you the truth you need to destroy the strongholds in your life. Join us in Acts 13 as we learn the First Steps of recovery!

Throughout my ministry, I’ve repeated this phrase: “Born once, die twice. Born twice, die once.”
As sinful from birth, this is the reality we each begin and will end with on earth. The inevitable price of sin is death. But the gift of God is eternal life – the “good news” of the gospel! In today’s brand-new message from Romans 6, we’ll delve into: God, sin, substitution, believe, life.
Have you believed the gospel for yourself? If you have, can you share it with others? If you or someone you know needs the hope of a saving relationship with God, this weekend’s message is for you.
But God Commends His Love | Romans 5 | Great Buts of The Bible
Peace is the calm assurance that what God is doing is best.
Is your heart heavy with condemnation, shame, a list of all your wrongs? Remember, in Christ you are freed from that guilt to live in peace – peace with God, peace from God, and in the peace of God.
The world is full of evil, but God demonstrates His love toward you through the cross. This week, dive with us into the very center of the center of Christianity: the gospel of Jesus Christ.
