Your Place Of Grace Podcast with Anthony Sluzas

This is the first message in a series entitled “The Forgiving Heart.”

Deliverance ought not to be a narrow term in anyone’s mind. Everything that the Lord does in freeing us is deliverance. He is our Rock, our Fortress, and our Deliverer. The Gospel of the Kingdom of God is to go forth with power, and the power backing it up is the Person of Jesus, the triumph of His Cross, and the victory of His Resurrection.

 Granted, this is a difficult subject, but we need to deal with it in a sensitive and biblical manner. In today’s podcast, we are laying out ten reasons why sexual sins really are worse than others…and finding the remedy for our sins.

Modern culture today is not friendly to Christians. Now more than ever we must learn to live in a sinful world that’s opposed to our beliefs, values, and lifestyles without being overcome by it. 

 Most people are very familiar with John 3:16, which states that because God loved the world, He sent His Son so that those who believe in Him would never perish but have eternal life. We usually think of God’s love as generally applying to everyone, but maybe not specifically to us personally. However, the Lord wants us to know we’re greatly loved by Him and to love Him in return. Only then will we be able to give and receive love in our relationships as He desires. 

The story of the Good Samaritan is one of the most beloved stories in the Bible. Can we look at it from a modern-day perspective? We certainly live in days when the spirit of the Good Samaritan is sorely needed, and the place it should be displayed is in the lives of Christians.

When your heart is heavy, your body is weary, your emotions drained, and you’re feeling discouraged, hopeless, and greatly burdened, where do you seek relief?

Fear is a powerful emotion that can grip the heart of an individual and even an entire nation. But believers in Jesus Christ don’t have to live in continual fear because His Spirit lives within our hearts and He has overcome the world.

 If you asked a historian, scientist, or philosopher to name the most important moments in history, they’d all have different answers. But from God’s point of view, it would be the crucifixion, death, and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ. As mere humans, we can’t comprehend all that happened at the cross, but God has given us a deeper understanding of what transpired within the pages of the Bible.

What does Jesus’ resurrection mean to us today? His resurrection is not only true but also relevant and very personal.
