Man is a special creation of God. The fall of man corrupted man. God provided the way for man to be forgiven, however, until death, the saved will be spiritually weak. We need to trust in the Lord to be strong.

"The Timing of the Rapture" 2 Thessalonians 2

This class makes applications from Paul's teaching in Galatians about the danger of assuming law-keeping to be the way to becoming completed in the Christian life. We show that not only does this apply to OT law which was being promoted by Judaizers, but any other man-made system of works which are supposed to sanctify and perfect Christians. We argue that analyzing the details of one's old life in Adam in order to create a process to rectify various bad outcomes is a fool's mission. We begin new life in Christ by the Spirit and grow in grace by the Holy Spirit working in the lives of those who believe the promises of God. We provide many examples of false approaches that harm those who adopt them. We point to our relationship to God, through Christ by faith which makes everything new. The need to control the outcome using techniques amounts to looking for something akin to being 'bewitched' to use Paul's term. Growth in sanctification is not by works any more than salvation is.

Pastor Jeremiah Gabbard | Eph. 6:18 The sermon identifies three primary spiritual barriers that obstruct effective communication with God, drawing primarily from Ephesians 6 and supporting texts like Psalm 66 and Mark 11. The preacher argues that unconfessed sin creates a separation between the believer and the Father, requiring immediate repentance to restore fellowship. Additionally, harboring unforgiveness toward others, particularly within marital relationships, is presented as a critical hindrance that prevents God from hearing prayers. Finally, disregarding or turning away from God's Word renders prayer an abomination rather than a connection with Him. The message urges believers to examine their hearts and relationships to remove these obstacles and maintain a vibrant, unhindered prayer life.
