Good news, struggling Christian: God does want to bless you. But if your soul has been polluted by sexual sin, He must do a cleansing work in order to make you capable of receiving the wonderful life He has for you.

In today’s sermon, Steve Gallagher shares three biblical steps you must take to join God in His cleansing work. And for your personal use in this process, we’re glad to share with you the “Mercy” prayer, which we give to everyone in our counseling programs. You can download it here: https://bit.ly/MercyPrayer

Have you ever wondered how you could worship the Lord one moment, but then give over to sexual sin the next? Perhaps it’s because of the kind of Christianity you’ve been living.

There is a kind of Christian life that has little to no impact on a person’s life—one that results in only shallow outward changes. But true Christianity has a deep impact on the soul and produces great spiritual fruit. And it’s this kind of Christianity we all need to win the battle!

We’re grateful to have renowned Old Testament scholar, Dr. John Oswalt, return as a regular part of our speaking rotation. In today’s message, he expounds on Romans 12:1-2 and a kind of Christianity that actually works.

Overcoming sexual sin can feel overwhelming to the believer stuck in cycles of failure. This defeatist attitude stems from a wrong way of looking. We look too much at ourselves and at our own weakness. But Scripture reveals that victory over any form of sin comes not from our strength, but from God’s power and might!

Asbury Professor Emeritus, Steve Seamands, explains God’s way to victory using the backstory to Joshua’s battle against Jericho. You’ll see that these things were, as the apostle Paul wrote, “written down for our instruction”.

If you’re stuck in sexual sin, you’ve probably tried different ways to escape. But have you ever considered that the real problem lies within? It’s your heart.

In today’s message, Director of Ministry Outreach Patrick Hudson uses Pharoah’s rebellion in the Exodus account to break down four ways the sexual sinner hardens his heart towards God.

As Patrick testifies, God has made a way out for you—but it requires a response to His voice.

Sexual sin causes destruction in people’s lives. But the good news is that God does redeem sexual sinners! He just has to start the process by dealing heavily with our sin—something that really puts it to death. But this will produce spiritual life if we respond with repentance and faith.

Christians in sexual sin have more in common with the older brother than with the prodigal son. Although the older brother remained in the father’s house, he was just as spiritually disconnected from his father as his prodigal brother. Sin always separates people from God, whether they’re in church or not. 💀

In today’s message, Steve Gallagher explains the older brother’s case, calling people to reject lifeless religion and to return to the Father.

Once a sinner comes to their senses and repents of their sin, they’re only at the beginning of what is going to be a long journey home to the Father. Along the way, there are many difficulties—temptations and discipline to name a few—but they all have one purpose: to keep that man on the narrow way home. In today’s sermon, Steve Gallagher explains this journey using Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son.

In the final sermon of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at the Light of God.

There are many Christians bound up in sexual sin who don’t know what’s holding them back. They try to find the answers through professional counselors, weekend seminars, teaching books, and accountability groups—but are left stuck in a cycle of sin time and time again.

Little are they aware that if they simply turn to the Lord and open their whole heart to Him, He will faithfully perform a twofold work in their hearts. He will first expose what is below the surface, causing them to continue to fall. And then He will give them the power to walk out a life of righteousness!

In the 33rd message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at God’s power over death.

Strong or weak, rich or poor, proud or humble—death will eventually overcome us all. But here’s the good news: God has provided the way out through a living relationship with Jesus Christ.

But we must make a choice:

refuse the gospel in exchange for love of the world,

or

repent of our sins and believe in Him.

Only when we choose God’s way, can we know Him as the victor over death in our lives.

Good news, Christian: You don’t have to live in defeat! Even though sin seems to be accepted in American Christianity, Romans 6–8 shows this was never God’s plan. In the final message from our recent special meetings, Dr. John Oswalt unpacks this passage to show that, for all who repent and put their faith in Jesus Christ, the truth is clear: You can live in victory!
