An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure

Broadcast Episode

May 25, 2023

When it comes to sexual sin, we can be on the side of prevention or on the side of cure. In 2 Samuel 11, David should have been at war, but instead, he allowed himself to lust after another man's wife. Instead of fleeing from temptation, David used his power to get what wasn't his. We are called to flee and run when temptation comes our way. Put a stake in the ground against sexual sin and confess your sin right away to the Lord because He is faithful and just to forgive us and purify us from all unrighteousness.

If You're Not Dead, You're Not Done

In 2nd Samuel 19, David has the sense to listen to the wisdom of an older man named Barzillai. As we age, we don't mail it in and we never retire from proclaiming Christ. Moses didn't hit his stride until the near end of his life. No matter your age, the Holy Spirit wants to transform you into the image of Christ and allow you to use your wisdom to help others in their faith.

I Beg Your Pardon Pt. 2

In 2 Samuel 19, David chose to forgive Shimei and others who had previously bashed him. Jesus Christ tells us as Christian’s to forgive just as our Father in heaven has forgiven us. Jesus modeled what true forgiveness looks like. We pardon others because Jesus first pardoned us.

I Beg Your Pardon Pt. 1

In 2nd Samuel 19, David reenters as king of Israel and he is greeted by some of the people that booed him when he was kicked out of Israel. David pardons Shimei and he shows that he trusted in God's sovereignty. As Christians if we are in Christ, then we can't seek revenge, but allow The Lord to handle it. We must follow Jesus' example and forgive others as Jesus forgave and pardoned us.

RE-RELEASE #36-All Rise Pt. 2

Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead and defeated death. Believers are born-again (John 3:3) by the Spirit of God. God has put all things under His authority. We have been transferred from death to life and God has spiritually adopted us as his child. If you are a Christian, you are living under supernatural power. Our labor in this world is not in vain with the Lord.

RE-RELEASE #35-All Rise Pt. 1

We "Get To" worship an ALIVE and RESURRECTED JESUS. Religion is man's attempt to reach God, but salvation is God coming down through Jesus Christ to reach man. Jesus died on a cross to fully pay for our sin, and he rose three days later and defeated death. It's not do more, try harder. It's dying to our old self daily. We get a new life from dying not trying. Trusting in Jesus Christ as your savior is what it's all about!!
