1As believers, we understand that ANY intimacy outside of the marriage
2relationship is sin. While most believe that adultery is simply an “act”...
3Jesus tells us that if we have lust in our hearts and this act is played out
4in our minds...then we too are guilty of adultery. In today's lesson, we
5learn that lust is simply the desire for something that is forbidden. We
6also discover that the intimacy between a man and a woman was blessed
7by God. However, this intimacy is meant ONLY for the marriage
8relationship. If you are guilty of entering into an intimate relationship
9outside of the God-ordained marriage unit, then repent! Turn away from
10following after the lust within your heart and sin no more!

1Do you have an anger problem? Do the troubles of life easily get to you,
2causing you to lose your cool? Well today, Pastor Mark speaks to us
3about anger and how we can manage it. As believers, we understand
4that anger is an issue of the heart. If we have trouble controlling our
5temper, then we need to be seeking God for help. You see, our
6Heavenly Father knows us...inside and out. He sees into the deepest part
7of our heart and knows our every thought. If we want to have victory
8over sin...over our anger issues, we must look to God. It is important
9that we submit to Him and His Ways. By doing so, He begins to work in
10us His life-changing grace that will free us from our issues of anger.

1The Scriptures teach us that out of the abundance of the heart...the
2mouth speaks. So you see, our anger (or any other emotion), stems
3from issues of the heart. If we hold bitterness in our heart, eventually,
4this will show in our actions. If we have a prideful heart, then there will
5come a day when that pride will be exposed. As you listen today, Pastor
7Mark will explain that these emotions...which can lead to anger can also
8have an affect on your physical being. So with that being said, we need
9to pay close attention to the condition of our heart...the condition of our
10soul. We need to ask the Father to reveal our heart issues that could lead to sin.

1Are you an angry person? Do you ever lose your temper? Well today,
2Pastor Mark discusses with us the difference between RIGHTEOUS
3anger and Unrighteous anger. Both types exist and it is important to be
4able to recognize them. Generally, our acts of Unrighteous anger occur
5due to one of four reasons: Fear, Fatigue, Frustration or Pride. You see,
6these four things are the catalysts for unrighteous anger...based purely
7on circumstance. RIGHTEOUS anger is when we come to the realization
8that something or someone has taken a stance against our Heavenly
9Father or has spoken against His Holy Word. Jesus drove the
10money-changers out of the temple, with a righteous anger.

1God's Word is true...it is eternal and it applies to every area in our lives.
2In the Psalms we read that the Law of the LORD is perfect...reviving the
3soul. The Word of God is for all. In today's message, Pastor Mark is
4showing us the difference between God's Law and what the religious
5leaders of long ago considered “law”. You will see that God's Word
6never changes...it continues to be the standard set for all peoples. So as
7Gentile believers living in today's age, what is our relationship with God's
8Word? Jesus said, if you love me...keep my commandments. So as you
9can see, we are to obey God's Word. His Law has not changed, but by
10our obedience TO IT, we will be forever changed!

1As Christians, we understand that God has given us a standard to live
2by. Once we accept His free gift of salvation, we are not left up to our
3own understanding, but we now have a way in which to live. The Law...
4The Commandments of God are the standard given to His people long
5ago. Pastor Mark tells us that the Law of God is good, however...the
6religious leaders have encoded and added to what God had already
7established. By doing so, they have caused confusion and the mindset
8that the Law is burdensome. But that isn't the case! Jesus said, I have
9not come to abolish or do away with the Law, but to fulfill it. And that is
10just what He did. He lived His life in PERFECT obedience to His Father's Commandments.

1We are to be ambassadors for the LORD. Everything we say, everything
2we do should be a representation of our relationship with Him. Jesus
3said that we are the light of the world. The light that is within us can only
4come from God. Don't be afraid to show the Light of God's Word to
5others. In today's message, Pastor Mark tells us that a concealed light is
6of no good. So do not be afraid to let you let shine before others. God
7isn't JUST the Light, but He is also your protection! So do not fear
8when living out your Christian life in front of others. Let you light shine
9before all men! Be ready and willing to give an answer for the hope that
10lies within you! It's time to stand up and be an ambassador for Christ.

1Jesus tells His disciples that they are the salt of the earth. As followers
2of the LORD...we are also “Salt”. But what does it mean to be salt?
3Pastor Mark explains to us that salt, at one point in time was not just a
4useful ingredient, but a valuable item. So, with that being said, Jesus is
5making a point to tell us that we, His disciples, are valuable to Him! Salt
6also makes people thirsty. So just as the salt, we can cause those
7around us to thirst for a real life...a life with meaning...a life with God.
8Jesus later explains that the salt that loses it's saltiness...can never get
9it's saltiness back. It is of no use. So believer, don't lose your saltiness!
10Keep your eyes focused on the things of God...this way...you are not easily corrupted.
