Because God loves you, God wants to change you. In this lesson, we’ll look at what a character defect is, and why it is so darn hard for us to get rid of them. And we’ll learn how to cooperate with God in His process of changing us.

At the end of the message, we’ll hear from a member of Gospel City Church, Kyle, as he shares some of his story with us.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could live without the fear that our past might catch up with us?

If we are ever going to recover from the hurts, hang-ups, and habits in our lives and know the joy of a pure heart, we’ll have to learn how to let go of our guilt and shame and gain a clear conscience.

In this lesson, we’ll learn about coming clean. It won’t be easy, but it is broken down into steps – and the results will change your life forever.

At the end of this message, BJ invites his wife, Jessica, to join him and she shares part of her story with us. 

How do you break out of the cycle of despair?

If you’ve followed through on the first two choices in this series, you’re already moving out of this vicious cycle. You’ve made the “Reality Choice,” where you admitted your need. You’ve also made the “Hope Choice,” believing that you matter to God and that He has the power to help you.

Now you are ready to make the third choice, the “Commitment Choice,” where you make the decision to walk across the line. You take a step across that line of decision – a step toward God that says you are giving it all to Him and a step away from the old way of doing it all yourself.

If you haven’t made this choice as yet, it will be the most important choice in your life – the choice to accept Christ. For others who have already chosen Christ, this choice will mean a renewed commitment to let go of their lives and give them over to Christ’s care and control.

In last week’s message we learned that no matter how hard we try to keep everything under control, we are powerless to control our tendency to do wrong, and that makes our lives unmanageable.

In this week’s lesson we’ll talk about moving out of the role of playing God and into the role of receiving God’s power into our lives. We will also gain a vision of the hope and help God offers us.

Finally, we’ll get to hear from a member of Gospel City Church, Gem, as she shares a little bit of her story with us.

As members of the human race, we all deal with life’s hurts, hang-ups, and habits. In this week’s lesson we’ll look at the cause of these hurts, hang-ups, and habits, their consequences, and their cure.

At the end of the message, we will be joined by one of the members of Gospel City Church, Marnin, who shares a little bit of his story with us.

We’ve all been hurt by other people, we’ve hurt ourselves, and we’ve hurt others. And, as a result, every single one of us ends up with some sort of hurt, hang-up, or habit. And the question we all face is, “Where do we go from here?”

There is one picture that captures the essence of Christmas better than any other. It’s a scene that unfolded on the very first Christmas day and conveys the point of the history-altering event...

The night before Peter was scheduled to be executed, we find him sleeping soundly in his prison cell. How is this possible? We’ll revisit the storm on the Sea of Galilee in search of answers.

The Gospel explodes in the city of Antioch, as the first Jew/Gentile mixed church is born.

Peter visits the household of Cornelius and preaches the Gospel. What happens next changes the course of history.
