Pastor Fern kicks-off 21 Days of Gain with a sermon on why we need to fast. 

Teaching Passage Matthew 6:16-18

Do find yourself in complicated situations often? Joseph and Mary found themselves in a rather complex situation, but despite the odds they pressed through and were a part of God's redeeming plan! Pastor Fern talks about what it takes to fully see God's plan over your life. 

We have had encounters with God that have marked our lives, but even then we have still found ourselves internally divided. There are desires within us that don't align with God. There is a war within us. How can we get to Marry's disposition to God's will? Pastor Fern talks about the key to desire God's will over our lives. 

Romans Chapter 12
"Don't let the world squeeze you into its mold" 

Josh Mendoza 

Jesus paid the price to release us from sin.  We aren’t bound by sin but now we are redeemed. 

Romans 2:13-29

Jews had the Law and the Old Testament, Christians have the entire Bible and the Holy Spirit. The full revelation of God through Jesus Christ. When we know the truth, but act differently we defile God. We can't only be hearers, but also doers. 

Josh Mendoza on Romans 2. 

God is rich in kindness, but His love should lead us to change. All unrepentant sin will be judged. 

Romans 1: 18-32

We need to understand the wrath of God to understand the grace of God. 
This is a heavy episode. 

Romans 1:8-17

Paul desired to strengthen the infant church since it lied in the shadows, overcast by Roman power and pagan practices. 

The more you impart, the more you receive. The more that you receive the more that you impart. 

Paul's highest virtue was that he was a slave to Jesus. 

Freedom according to the world is slavery to the flesh, but only in being a slave to Jesus do we find true freedom.
