In this episode, we share the final session of a recent seminar on Living a Confident, Victorious Life in Christ.

Many students, young people, and adults are slaves to:

When Jesus saved us, He broke the power of sin in our life and put His Spirit within us. God gives us everything we need to live a godly, victorious life ( 2 Peter 1:3). The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in us (1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19). We are no longer alone and powerless. We are strong and immovable in Christ. God did not give us a Spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).

How do we live a confident, victorious life in Christ? This session focuses on how to win in the soul, the mind, and the strength as followers of Christ.
