August 16 - How to Enjoy Life by Experiencing a New Found Freedom - Pastor Paul Vallee

Too often, we look for the subtle things that hinder us from becoming all we desire to be, but we overlook the obvious ones. We can so easily profess an orthodox belief but allow worldliness and ungodly living to totally defeat us in our lives. How many here realize that orthodoxy in our belief is good, but without practicing what we say, it’s useless. What good is a proper and right belief structure when we have an unloving and critical attitude towards others? Or we may have an indifferent and distant attitude towards those around us, which grieves the heart of God. You may be the first to admit that things aren’t all that you want them to be in your life. You genuinely desire to know God and grow in Him. You desire to overcome areas of struggle and difficulty, but you just can’t seem to beat it.  You’re on the slippery slopes of sin, and you find yourself sliding down more often than walking in spiritual victory and vitality. You’ve prayed and responded so many times, hoping to solve the perpetual struggles in your life. You wonder, how can I experience the freedom that Jesus promised to each believer over sin? How can I apply the gospel to my everyday life and live the good news and not just talk about it? We are going to look at how Christ’s death and resurrection impact our lives as we overcome sin.
