July 17, 2022 18:25 - 36 minutes - 17.3 MBWe live in a day of relativism, where everyone can have their own version of truth.

July 10, 2022 17:14 - 34 minutes - 15.6 MBReligion often teaches we’re partly good and partly evil. While God forgives us, He’s waiting for us to change and perform better before He truly accepts us.

God has done something incredible to you at salvation. There’s more than forgiveness and Heaven: He’s made you new! In this message, we’ll take ...

Even Jesus said in Luke 18:19, “No one is good except God alone.” But a lot has changed since Jesus uttered those words, and in this message, we’ll learn what the New Testament says about your new heart and who you are at the core of your being. You’ll discover you’...

June 26, 2022 17:00 - 33 minutes - 15.9 MBMost believers agree they are holy and blameless “in God’s eyes,” but we’re not so sure we can actually call ourselves “good.” Religion has taught us that we want to sin, we should doubt our motives, and that it’s more humble to view ourselves as bad – or, at best, only partly good. But if we’re bad at the core, trying to do good will be a losing battle. There’s no real victory in the Christian life if we’re fighting against our own nature and desires. In this message, I an...

God, Your Father
